I found this student accommodation, I gave them 5 stars if I could compare to Flat shared where I moved from. It is safe, the staffs are well organized, kind and friendly. (Lauren, Jeremiah, Vinny ; especially thanks to them.) -Love the working sky view. -Love the shared private dining. -Price is reasonable compared to other accommodation nearby. Studio room is adequate for 1 person. There are some room type bigger. 3 weeks here already, I’m quite happy with this place.

I’ve been staying at iQ Aldgate for the past three weeks and it has been an incredible experience from day one. The building is pristine, super secure and packed with fantastic amenities (the rooftop terrace, gym, study spaces, and social areas are amazing). What truly sets this place apart, though is the staff, they are unbelievably welcoming, helpful and attentive to every detail. They make you feel right at home immediately. Whether you’re here for a short summer intensive or a long-term stay, I cannot recommend iQ Aldgate enough. 10/10!

I’ve had a really positive experience staying at iQ Aldgate in London. The location is excellent—very well connected with easy access to transport links, making it convenient for both university and exploring the city. The staff have been consistently helpful, friendly, and responsive whenever needed, which made settling in much easier. The building is well-maintained, and I’ve always felt safe and secure here. The common areas are clean and provide a good space to relax or study, and the overall environment is comfortable and student-friendly. Maintenance requests are handled efficiently, and communication from management is clear and timely, which I really appreciate. The facilities overall are good and add to the convenience of living here. One area that could be improved is the gym. The space is quite small, and the equipment is limited—particularly for heavy lifters, as there are very few options for serious strength training. Expanding the space and upgrading the equipment would significantly improve the experience for residents. Overall, it’s been a pleasant and hassle-free stay, and I would definitely recommend iQ Aldgate to students looking for accommodation in London.

IQ ALDGATE is the best place to live if you are a student. I had friends who lived here but I loved the environment so much people like Vinny and Lauren are so helpful and welcoming that it made me want to live here. Everything is so near by, facilities are top notch and even rooms are great. Everyone is so sweet and there is no problem that I have suffered so far. Great place to live!!
