Utility bills and Wi-Fi are included in the rent, while study rooms, a gym, communal areas and on-site services cover many of the practical needs that come with student life.

About Unite Students Greetham Street Portsmouth

The studios come with their own kitchenette, while the shared flats give residents a private bedroom alongside communal areas. This gives students some choice over how much privacy they want during their time in Portsmouth.

There are also spaces within the residence for studying and spending time away from your room. Dedicated study rooms and printing facilities are useful during busy academic periods, while the common room and other social areas provide somewhere to take a break.

Everyday facilities include laundry, bike storage, vending machines and recycling facilities. A 24-hour concierge, on-site maintenance, CCTV and secure door entry are also available throughout the property.

I stayed in here for a single term last year. I had a standard studio on 3rd floor. At first, I kinda liked it being so close to Uni, commercial road, victoria park, etc. The building itself is so unique; being almost the tallest one around, with an outdoor sitting and nice view. The entertainment on 18th floor, i think, was so lovely. I won't forget when Kaz took me up there for the very first time. However, things changed later. Fire alarm was so annoying due to the big number of residents who don't care much about their cookings. Almost every week at least one time it had to go off; early morning, midnight, etc. The other thing was repair and maintenance; minor repairs ok but major/semi-major like for instance exaust fan/extractor I had to wait for almost a month to get it fixed. Speaking about the extractor, it was a little annoying as well since it has to work all the time; 24/7. Overall, it was a good experience for me as i was completely new to the city.

Being in my first year, the reception team has been very welcoming and fun to have conversations with. I get back from lectures tired and can always stop by to chat if I want. Plus any accommodation problems I’ve had, they’ve been able to help me with. Very grateful, thanks for supporting me during first year.

I'm so thankful to be living in Greetham Street!! The staff are extremely approachable and responsive with our needs - from parcels, repairs to proepery management! It feels like a community here!! When there are issues, such as our recent water disruption, we have been provided free water bottles to drink from and have received emails on updates regarding the situation. We also get regular cleaning checks and overall the building is really well kept!! The rooms and kitchen space are brilliant, and the common room is a fantastic space to invite friends over (I had my 19th Birthday Party there and it was wondering: pool tables, football tennis, ping-pong table, lovely view, board games)... I truly will miss this place when I move out for second year (as I want a fresh experience living in a house with my future housemates), but otherwise I would have stayed 100%!!

I spent my first year living in Greetham Street halls. Now, I'm in Langstone Flats for my second year, and honestly, the difference is laughable. I'm paying thousands less to live in Langstone, yet my room is bigger, the ethernet actually works, there’s no silverfish infestation, the walls aren’t paper-thin, the back half of reception doesn't smell like sewage, and I’ve got a better view. I haven’t spent enough time here to compare the staff, but I’m not sure it’s possible for the staff here to be worse than Greetham's. The only thing greetham street has going for it is its location. At Greetham Street, I went an entire month with no working lights in my room. There was no urgency from staff, no real solution, just pure indifference. Their idea of a substitute light source? A disco light. I returned it and told them it wasn’t remotely appropriate. They handed me a lamp with no bulb. Of course, when they went to look for bulbs, they came back empty-handed, because why wouldn't you have a bunch of lamps with no bulbs? Eventually, when the lights got fixed, they didn’t even offer compensation until I chased it up myself. And when they did? A whopping £90 for nearly an entire month of living in darkness. Mind you, I’m paying £171 a week. Anytime you go to reception with a problem, you’re brushed off and told to send an email. Fine—except they never reply. Not once. I followed their process, did exactly what they said, and still got radio silence every single time. So yeah, if you’re considering living in Greetham Street, don’t. It’s overpriced, poorly managed, and you’ll be paying premium rent for substandard everything. I’ve experienced both sides now, and I genuinely cannot understand how they justify charging so much for such a terrible living experience. Save your money. Save your time. Live literally anywhere else.
