What students say
Meghna Gupta
Student Castle looks great on paper - modern furnishings, a good location close to the business school, and rooms that initially seem worth the premium pricing. Unfortunately, the actual living experience has been far less professional than expected. The management team often comes across as dismissive rather than helpful, and there seems to be very little willingness to genuinely work with students when problems arise. Instead of trying to make situations easier, processes constantly change, communication is inconsistent, and even simple issues become unnecessarily difficult to resolve. One major issue has been the air conditioning in my room, which has been malfunctioning for over 2months. Despite multiple complaints and repeated maintenance visits, the problem still hasn’t been permanently fixed. Every time, a different explanation is given, but no real resolution follows. Paying for a Luxe flat only to live in what feels like a boiler for weeks is not acceptable. There have also been unannounced visits to rooms, which feels intrusive and unprofessional. On top of that, common rooms are not cleaned regularly despite this generally being expected in accommodations at this price point. Ironically, the most helpful and respectful staff members have consistently been the night guards, who actually take the time to listen and help students wherever they can. They have honestly been the best part of the experience. Overall, while the building itself is modern and visually appealing, the service, communication, and management standards do not justify the cost. Definitely not the value for money that is advertised.

I’ve lived at Student Castle for ~9 months. I think it can be a great place to live in Oxford under the right situation; however, if you happen to be put in the wrong one, college accommodation is a better and cheaper option. Pros: Very convenient location, helpful and kind security guards, and secure package system. They have air conditioned room options for those that are used to that. Maintenance is quick and helpful. Laundry room is hardly ever full (just don’t do your laundry at prime times on the weekends). You can pay a one-time fee to get your personal room cleaned, which is unique among long-term rentals in Oxford. Lots of common spaces and amenities that are kept clean. The room walls are pretty thick. I’m a light sleeper and face that train station, but the trains sounds never bother me, nor can I really hear my neighbors through the walls loudly enough to keep me awake. Cons: Student Castle is expensive. More than college housing, and while the rooms are modern and nice, they are small for the price. Additionally, unless you pay a good amount extra to have a kitchen in your room, you have access to a shared kitchen. However, this kitchen is quite literally never cleaned, not even before moving in. All Oxford college accommodations clean their kitchens daily or weekly at a minimum. The fridge was full of open raw chicken, and the shelves were sticky when I moved in (which was before anyone else in my hall had). I also had neighbors who did not clean up after themselves, and despite multiple complaints, they would still not clean the kitchen for me. You can pay £35 to get the kitchen cleaned once; however, it will be only you paying it. That cost is not split among residents, and dirty residents are not the ones that typically want the kitchen cleaned. My neighbors were also extremely loud and would throw parties in our shared kitchen / hallway most nights a week. While the walls are thick, the doors are not. You can hear everything from the hallway. The security will come and tell people to be quiet past 11pm, but very little is actually done for repeated offensives of breaking community guidelines. You cannot switch rooms. They are always full. If you have issues, you can be put on a waitlist, but only people with serious maintenance issues tend to get to switch rooms. This doesn’t bother me specifically, but a lot of my friends are very put off by the frequent room checks and renovations done to the rooms while you’re actively living in it. At one point, we were getting one email a week saying our rooms would be entered, one of which was to sand and paint the rooms with our stuff in there. Again, didn’t bother me since I was in class during these times, but it bothered others so worth a mention. I think it’s important to note that a lot of my neighbor issues stemmed from the fact that it is not just Oxford students that stay in Student Castle. There are lots of students from short-term language programmes here. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but they have very different schedules, leading to parties in common rooms at times when others have exams, etc. The age ranges in the building vary wildly, too, from 18 to 30. You can be closer to 30 with 18-year-old neighbors who are living outside their parent’s house for the first time. Again, not a bad thing, but I think it’s something one should be aware of when making accommodation decisions. Overall, I think Student Castle can be a great place to live. Just take note of the full situation, so you know what you’re signing up for.

Unfortunately, I can’t recommend Student Castle. The bikes are never available, it’s noisy (right next to a construction site), and at night the lights from the nursery shine into your room. Packages get lost and can’t even be dropped off. On top of that, someone is constantly entering the room unannounced – zero privacy. The upper floors get unbearably hot in summer, the in-room fridge is extremely loud, and cleanliness is lacking (there was literally vomit on the carpet left in the hallway for days). Overall a very disappointing experience that doesn’t justify the price!!

I enjoyed living at students Castle for my three years. The team were always so helpful and lovely and I would recommend. The tiny one at the reception called Jodie was always nice and really helpful. Good to see the place taking initiative to employ people from all backgrounds 🏳️🌈
Alexa Tudose
The rooms are small and the furniture is low quality. When I first arrived, my room wasn't even cleaned properly. Also, even though I reported a maintenance issue as soon as I moved in, it still hasn't been fixed 8 months later. Other maintanance requests have been fixed, but with significant delays. The facilities are also very disappointing: the shared kitchen is never cleaned, laundry is very expensive (13 pounds just to do weekly laundry) and there are not enough machines (I had to wait multiple times for a machine, and on several occassions I found my clothes taken out because I was a few minutes late), the pool table and ping pong table are very low quality, the bike shed is too small (so it is hard to find a parking spot). Although it is advertised as a "friendly" space, it definitely doesn't feel like it. There were very few events organized throughout the year, despite the advertisement on their website. Also, it's very inconvenient that you have to go to the reception to ask for the remote if you want to watch TV. Overall, Student Castle is definitely not worth the price, and I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
