Rating this accommodation a one star because it doesn’t give me the option to select zero stars unfortunately. After months of communication with this accommodation, finalising payments and chasing last second details from them before due to moving in, to which still never arrived. I began to move my things into the accommodation, almost finally complete for my first year on university. I am travelling from London to Birmingham and was due to move into the Emporium this week. Once moving my things into the building after a very long drive, I was told once my family were on their way out that I’d have to pay an unexpected fee of £1250. They hadn’t explained this over any emails, texts, no website information or details of this during the initial tour. The male at the desk was very unhelpful, telling me that I was still due to pay a fee of over a thousand pounds considering I hadn’t yet signed a guarantor agreement. This comes after asking the accommodation multiple times for this to be sent over, as I’m travelling from a far location and wanted all details finalised. They had meanwhile accepted a £250 early move in fee from myself, accepted my date of choice to move my belongings in, and had informed me AFTER settling into my room that I was due to pay £1250, for my first instalment, despite knowing that student finance isn’t due until mid/late September. Not to mention, the room was filthy. A broken toilet seat with brown/orange tan like substance stained around the rim of the toilet seat, FLIES coming out of the fridge when opening it, not the mention the smell that I will never forget, and on top of that, bad attitude from the staff after being told about this random fee. Save yourself the headache, the money, the time, and stay far away from the emporium, unless you’re open to paying unexpected random fees, living in filth and flies for roommates that’re coming from both the toilet and the fridge. I’d suggest HMRC’s Prison cells instead, a much cleaner room and probably better attitude there.

I saw some pretty bad reviews before I moved in but my viewing was great so I went ahead and booked. I've been here 4 months now and this is my honest review: good: wifi and hot water are fast and consistent, utilities e.g. gym, can't hear any other residents through the walls, location is fantastic, kind and helpful staff who fixed my sink leak within the hour. activities in reception like hot chocolate mornings and free snacks. bad: constant hs2 drilling noise outside the window (but not really the building's fault), expensive washing/drying, the radiator is on a timer and turns off after a very short period of time. there are often mysterious alarms that go off in the hallway. but all the bad is outweighed by the good for me. I love living here and I would definitely recommend it.

The service is so bad that one of the two elevators has been broken for more than four months and has not been repaired! The other one keeps breaking, too. Nobody cares. One dryer in the laundry room has also been broken for nearly half a year and has not been repaired. Last month, two of the three dryers broke down, so we need to wait for a long time to use one machine. Hot water was often not available last week, and common areas were often dirty and uncleaned. It was too bad to recommend to friends. Complaints on the official website have not been improved.

If you're interested in a Gold En suite: Pros: - VERY close to BCU and the city centre - Only two other flatmates so less mess - It's so quiet. You can get a good night's sleep here even on a Friday. Cons: -It's a bit cramped. You don't want to bring a lot of stuff because there's nowhere to put it -There are no pictures on the website of the shared flats so you don't know what you're getting. - There is one mini fridge and a separate mini freezer to share between 3 people. You'll have to go shopping every 2-3 days because you can't bulk buy there's just not enough space It's not a bad accommodation but if you pack heavy or want to fill the fridge it's not for you.
