I stayed at iq bankside for one year, and I can say without a doubt it will always hold a soft spot for me. The location is amazing, so close to the tube, many groceries nearby, and walking distance to university. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was one of the largest en-suite bathrooms i’ve seen among student accommodations. There was plenty of opportunities for storage in the room. Also the gym amenity was quite nice to have. The reception is almost always manned and your parcels are received no matter where you are and you are even notified both in the app and via email. If something is out of order in the room it is fixed almost immediately. Lastly what stands out most is every single member of staff is so warm and welcoming, they always greet you with a smile and ask about your day and are more than willing to help with whatever you need. They really make effort to get to know you and help you feel at home even when you’re new. I would definitely recommend this student accommodation.

I’d like to give special thanks to Gary from the maintenance team! My fridge stopped working, and he helped replace it within a week — super quick and efficient. He’s always friendly, professional, and really cares about helping residents. I really appreciate his excellent service and positive attitude!
