Louise house accommodation has a great location and wonderful & lovely room, distance from Chinatown and Oxford circus only 14mins bus. The manager Roxana who helped me a lot and take care of me all the time, especially with high levels of passion, responsibilities and enthusiasm in any situation which gives me a sense of warmth and happiness. The accommodation has an amazing cleaner who help us to clean the kitchen and common space every week, so it's definitely clean and tidy. Miss this accommodation and best wishes！！！🥰

Great accommodation and lovely staff! Location is really great and safe. Prices are budget-friendly as well, like Standard room at £237 pw. Highly recommending to Students going to Kings College, Westminster or Imperial 😊

Lived in Louise House for 5 months, and the recent reviews are completely truthful to the super gross things going on here. I have never gotten my deposit back, despite many emails and an elevation of my case to the managing agency. If I could go back and change one thing about my study abroad experience, it would be NOT LIVING HERE! Genuinely this place bummed me out so bad because of how dirty, noisy, unsafe, and unhygienic it was. The location is great but not worth it! Don’t live here! Point blank!

I just want to warn potential students that Louise House’s website is very misleading. This is particularly relevant if you are coming from far away and cannot visit before signing the tenancy agreement, like us - don’t rely on what they tell you or the computer-generated photographs on the website. We have had trouble from day 1, and they are good at saying they will do something but almost never do. No security on site, none of the COVID safe practices that are promised on the website, accommodation that is tired and worn. Also bear in mind that they have a constant stream of short term overseas students doing language courses, so you may have many different flatmates over the course of a year. They use multiple agencies between Louise House and the landlord, which makes it hard to make yourself heard if things are not right. We are making a formal complaint through an external ombudsman.

The location of the hall is extremely convenient. The neighbourhood is very nice and it’s situated in central London, close to most of the major universities and main attractions in the city. The common areas of the hall are quite big and available to use and enjoy. It has a spacious common room with coaches and tables, a cinema room with a large screen and a common garden for spring/summer. The rooms have enough space and the shared toilettes and kitchens are usually kept clean (+ there is a cleaner that comes once a week). Finally, I think that the main differential is given by the manager, Roxana. She is available 24/7 for any emergency and she is always willing to help. Moreover, her warmth and kindness makes you feel at home, even if, like me, you have left your hometown thousands of kms away. That humanity and sensitivity is indeed something you want to have if you are traveling to a new city from a foreign country.
