Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars.
Some of the staff are absolutely amazing,have gone completely out of their way for us and would receive a 5/5 review from me. But others have been very dismissive when there have been issues even rude at some points. The location of the accommodation in great as it is in city centre but the alleyway is abit dodgy. There is also no common room so there isn’t much social space for the students.

Verified Student, Dover Street Apartments

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.
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
