Great student accommodation with a convenient location close to the university. The staff are friendly and helpful, and maintenance issues are usually dealt with quickly.

Absolutely fantastic place! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the amenities are excellent. I use the gym every day and it has everything you could possibly need — it’s really well-equipped. There is a minor issue with one of the cable machines, but everything else is in great condition. The kitchen, bathroom, and room are all spotless and very well maintained. Whenever I’ve needed assistance, the response has been quick and efficient, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommended!

I’m currently living at The Maltings, and I can confidently say it’s an ideal place for students. It’s safe, affordable, and there are no hidden or unnecessary costs. The amenities are fantastic—they even have a cinema where I hosted a movie night with friends completely free of charge. The community spirit here is excellent, with events like Pizza Day and other fun activities that encourage residents to connect and socialize. If you’re a student looking for a safe, friendly, and engaging place to live, The Maltings is the place to be—come see for yourself!

Carmen is genuinely one of the best security guards at the Maltings Capitol Students accommodation. She’s approachable, professional, and always makes students feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s helping with issues around the building, handling situations calmly, or just being friendly during late-night shifts, she always carries herself with respect and kindness. A lot of students appreciate how reliable and understanding she is. She creates a positive atmosphere in the accommodation and clearly cares about the wellbeing of residents. Security staff can sometimes feel distant, but Carmen is the opposite — she’s easy to talk to and treats everyone fairly. Overall, Carmen is a big asset to the Maltings Capitol Students team and deserves recognition for the work she does.

A lively accommodation space for students and working professionals, 30 mins walking distance to uni (realistically) and located in a quiet neighbourhood right along River Colne. They have a great common room area to hang out, a cinema room and even a reading room for quiet studying. There’s a gym on site as well. Overall a great place to live in.
