It was okay, the staff were very good although too many people kept coming in and drilling I don't want a new fancy radiator I can't even turn wait until summer please when no one is here... Also the "carpets" the kind that that looks like carpet but is very hard and it just doesn't feel right just put wood as the flooring, no need to try and be modern and also the bed headboards were not very comfortable very hard wood again no need for pointless "modern" styles if it's just straight up uncomfortable. Otherwise it was mostly good

This student residence is very practical. Staff are always available and eager to help, they often create activities during the week to allow the residents to meet and share a good moment. It is a quiet residence at night, and if it happens to be a little loud, you can tell about it freely in the groupchat (which is available in the Unite Student app). Laundry facilities can be accessed on with an app which allows us to see which washer or dryer is available. Overall, it is a great residency with great environment.

3.0

Staff is very nice and helpful, maintenance is fast when issue is reported. Heating used to be very nice and cozy but they recently changed the heating system and it is terrible. It is freezing cold as the temperatures are regulated at 21 degrees (the heater wouldn't turn on if temperature is above this set threshold). The receptionists' are unable to control the temperature as well as it is set by the main headquarters. Giving feedbacks and emailing does not work as they just advice us to wear more and get more blankets as everyone feels temperature differently. Really disappointing

5.0

The accommodation is comfortable and well maintained. It has peaceful environment with low noise levels (generally). Heating is good and bathroom is in clean and good condition. Reception staff is very friendly, and you get quick maintenance- you don’t generally need it. Overall, it is good accommodation.

I am staying in a Unite Students room and overall had a good experience. The room was clean, modern, and had everything I needed — a comfortable bed, study table, enough storage, and a decent-sized bathroom. The building felt secure, and the reception team was helpful whenever I needed something.
