I've genuinely enjoyed living at Onyx, and my experience has been so positive that I've already booked my room for next year. The accommodation has always felt like a comfortable place to come back to, and it's made student life much more enjoyable. The team does a fantastic job of creating a welcoming environment, and I'd like to give a special thanks to Syed, Mia, Rhian and K for always being friendly, helpful, and professional. They're easy to talk to and always make the effort to support residents whenever needed. The facilities are great, the atmosphere is friendly, and it's a place where I've felt settled from the beginning. Rebooking was an easy decision because I've been so happy here. I'd definitely recommend Onyx to any student looking for accommodation with a supportive team and a great community. 🥰❤️

Three years later, it's finally time to say goodbye to Onyx Prestige Student Living, and it's honestly more emotional than I expected. This place wasn't just accommodation—it became home. It was where I grew, made unforgettable memories, met amazing people, and went through some of the biggest chapters of my life. The staff were always friendly, approachable, and genuinely supportive, which made such a difference throughout my stay. The building was well maintained, the facilities were great, and whenever I needed help, the team was always there. Living here gave me a safe and comfortable environment to focus on my studies while enjoying student life. Thank you, Onyx Prestige, for being part of my journey. I'll always look back on these three years with gratitude and a lot of nostalgia. I'll definitely miss calling this place home.

Studios and premium tiers (Gold/Platinum) are the first to sell out each cycle - bookings for the next academic year typically open around March, and demand peaks over the summer ahead of a September start. If you want a specific room type rather than "whatever's left," booking by early summer gives you the widest choice; waiting until August often narrows you down to standard ensuites only.
Sources disagree on this one, which is exactly why it needs a direct answer rather than a guess: some current listings say Onyx has no on-site parking at all (bike storage only), while others say limited on-site parking exists at some Onyx buildings, sold separately from rent on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't publish either version - confirm directly with the property team what's actually true for 60 Lancaster Street specifically, then state it plainly. This is a real drop-off point for any student with a car, so a wrong answer here is worse than a missing one.
No - pets aren't permitted, with the standard exception of registered assistance animals.
Only if you want to pay in instalments. A UK-based guarantor lets you spread rent across the term; without one, the standard policy is to pay the full year's rent upfront (typically due around 6 weeks before your tenancy start date). If you can't provide a UK guarantor and want to pay in instalments, ask the House of Student team directly - some properties waive the guarantor requirement case-by-case.
Onyx sits at 60 Lancaster Street, roughly 9 minutes' walk from Aston University and around 15–17 minutes from Birmingham City University - closer to campus than most city-centre PBSA options. It's built around social space more than most competitors: a 24th-floor sky lounge and roof terrace, private dining room, cinema room, games room and gym are all included in the rent, alongside standard bills-inclusive pricing. Booking direct through House of Student also carries no service fee - you pay the same weekly rent as booking any other way, without an add-on booking charge some competitor platforms apply.
