I’ve been living at Waterloo house for the past 9 weeks, and it’s honestly been a great experience so far. The location is perfect — everything I need is close by, from shops and cafés to transport links and campus, which makes day-to-day life so convenient. Even though I have my own studio and don’t really use the communal areas, they’re always well-kept, modern, and create a really nice atmosphere in the building. It’s reassuring knowing there are great spaces available whenever I want them. What stands out most is the warm community feel. The environment is friendly, welcoming, and easy to settle into. It genuinely feels safe and comfortable living here, which has made the transition into student life so much smoother. Overall, I’m really happy with my choice and my experience here has been very positive.

I’ve been living here for three months now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The building is clean, modern, and really well-maintained. My room is comfortable and quiet, perfect for studying, and the shared facilities are always spotless. The staff are incredibly friendly and quick to help with anything—maintenance requests, questions, or just a warm hello when you walk in. The location is also ideal, with easy access to campus, shops, and public transport. I’ve felt safe, supported, and genuinely at home here. If you’re looking for student accommodation that balances comfort, community, and convenience, I’d highly recommend this place!
ruth opiela
Living at Waterloo House is 100% worth your money. The rooms and facilities are brand new, well-maintained by the management and the staff are here always friendly and attentive to our concerns. I feel super safe living here, thanks to the building’s security features. The location is also perfect! You’re right outside the city with walkable access to either of York’s universities! I’d recommend Waterloo House to any student!
Ryan Bage
Wonderful student accommodation in York. Decent pricing for York, you can get much worse accommodation for a higher price. With Waterloo House you are getting a modern, newly built room, where EVERYTHING WORKS, which is quite uncommon for student housing. Minor issues I’ve had have been fixed within a few hours. Staff are very friendly and helpful, I’ve been loving my time here so far, and if I had another year left of university I’d be staying here again!
Lydia Barker
I’ve been living here since the middle of September, the living space is fantastic and It’s very easy and Peaceful to live here. It is a convenient walk from the city centre and both university’s.
