Great student accommodation and very central location!

Resident, The Union, Leamington Spa

Ernest Place offers exceptional accommodation with top-notch rooms and an amazing team of staff members. Everyone here is genuinely kind, warm, and accommodating, creating a wholesome experience. The service is outstanding, prompt, efficient, and always on point. My time at Ernest Place has been one of the best experiences of my university journey, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.

Resident, Ernest Place, Durham

I came from overseas and this literally felt like home here. Also, the team is very supportive!

Resident, Moss Court, Manchester

This is my second year living in Goods Corner, and everything has been great so far. The building’s location is amazing (2-minute walk from Cameron toll and 5-minute walk from King Campus), with plenty of bus stops nearby. The facilities are very well maintained, and the rooms are spacious. Everyone at reception is lovely, always available to help, or just for a chat. Overall, I strongly recommend Goods Corner, and I am yet to have any complaints at all.

Resident, Goods Corner, Edinburgh

I've had an absolutely fantastic experience living here and I would give it 100 stars if I could without hesitation. The accommodation is clean, modern, and really well maintained, with comfortable rooms and welcoming shared spaces. What really stands out though is the staff. Especially the assistant manager, Ciara. She is incredible! Always friendly, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping students. Whenever I've had a question or needed support, she's been efficient, proactive, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. It's clear she cares about every resident, and her dedication makes life here so much easier and more enjoyable. The location is also ideal, with shops, transport, and the university not to far, making it super convenient for student life. Thanks to Ciara and the team, this accommodation doesn't just feel like a place to stay it feels like a supportive community. I would highly recommend it to any student.
