The Nest Leicester is student accommodation in the city centre, with several university campuses, shops, cafés, restaurants and transport links within reach. Its central position also makes walking a useful option for shorter trips around Leicester.
Students can choose between en-suite rooms and private studios. The en-suite option comes with a shared kitchen, while the studios have their own kitchen and living space. High-speed Wi-Fi, utility bills and content insurance are included in the rent. Residents also have access to study and social areas within the building.
The Nest Leicester has two main styles of accommodation. En-suite rooms provide a private bedroom and bathroom but have a shared kitchen, making them a suitable option for students who like having other people around. The studio flats are self-contained, with a private kitchen and living area.
The difference between the two setups is useful to consider before booking. An en-suite room gives students a shared part of their daily routine, particularly around cooking and spending time with flatmates. A studio keeps those areas within the student's own space.
There are shared facilities too. The dedicated study lounge provides a place to work outside the bedroom, while the cinema room, outdoor courtyard and table tennis area are available when students want a break.
The location is another reason students may consider the nest leicester accommodation. The property is in central Leicester, so regular trips to shops, food outlets, university campuses and transport points do not necessarily require a bus or train.

You can choose from a lovely little studio or a larger studio with a kitchen built in. I've stayed here for 1-2 months now in the little studio. There's a massive modern shared lounge/kitchen with multiple ovens/stoves, multiple fridges/freezers. Its kept clean and looks the part too!

The Nest is easily the best student accommodation in Leicester. The rooms are great and the communal areas are always well-maintained. A special shout-out to the manager, John, who is super helpful and makes living here a breeze. He’s always there when you need him and makes everyone feel welcome. 10/10!"

The manager John is not very professional, he shouts on the phone and hangs up the phone, he has no manners, the rooms are quite small, you can find better accommodations.
