Romano Court, london

The location is the best thing, right next to Farringdon and It’s also surprisingly quiet. Sometimes you’ll hear parties at night or urdang students though. Rooms were renovated while I was here so they are pretty good now. Gigabit Ethernet up and down was also really nice to have. The mattress was ok, kinda old. Rooms also got really hot in the summer, even sometimes in the winter. They use circuit laundry, cost like £6 for a wash and dry and sometimes you have to wait for a machine to free up.

Romano court was one of the best experiences I had moving to London. The staff, shout out to Kenny, Derrame, Matt and the rest of the receptionist making my stay here wonderful. It’s good for the price and it actually feels like a community since you share with people and are more prone to talk than other dorms. Sharing the kitchen with 4 people is much more manageable than sharing a kitchen with 8-10 people on the same floor so you have a smaller cluster while still having a lot of people on the same floor without making it overwhelming. The staff made the few downfalls worth it. The bedroom is what you would expect, good enough for everything you need. A blank canvas to make it feel like your own and decorate it how you’d like to. -Sara-Ruth Segador 🇪🇸

It has been a terrible experience and their lack of organization and care has left 4 new uni students sick and unsafe: A month-and-a-half in to this 2025-2026 school year my daughter and her flat mates at Romano court have a barely working front door with a giant hole in the door (where staff attempted to “fix” the lock and instead left them with a large hole where passers-by can literally see into their flat). It’s been covered with black duct tape ever since (provided by a parent not even the staff!) Her first international roommate checked in earliest to find their bathroom ceiling full of mold, the smell and toxins making her sick. The mattresses were dirty and clearly uncleaned and one of them had old vomit still stuck to it. The safety and anti-theft window latch was broken in one of the rooms. For the first few weeks they could not find the girls’ door or room keys (their front office and key system is frighteningly unorganized!) and so we had to wait for a staff member to let her in EACH time she came home (waiting sometimes 15+ minutes to find a staff person). And probably worst of all, as a parent of my international student who just wants my kid to be safe and healthy, I have been trying to get a hold of someone to address this problem. I’ve emailed the “general manager” multiple times, called the phone numbers provided, left messages for someone to call me back - and NO ONE has ever called or emailed me back...not even once! There has been only one helpful staff member who worked tirelessly to actually find my daughter’s room key and did anything useful to attempt to help us, and that is Kenneth A (5-stars for him). Unite Students has been a terrible experience and their lack of organization and care has left 4 new uni students sick and unsafe.

Genuinely the worst place. Residents are loud and dirty. They piss on the wall outside and party so loudly that it’s impossible to sleep on weekends. Wouldn’t recommend. I wish I could post photos here of residents pissing on premises’s walls. Edit as on 29/10. This is the nuisance being caused at 1 am at night. Please see the video

Romano court was a great place to stay for my first year of university. This is mainly due to the AMAZING support we got from the all the staff there. In particular Keneth is always smiling and brings such a positive atmosphere to our home. Always willing to help, and if you ever have any problems he will sort them out almost immediately.
