It takes about ten minutes to walk to the School of Engineering and fifteen minutes to the city center. The location is somewhat close to the Middle Eastern district, and it has been quite peaceful during my one year of living here. Right across the street is a Chinese supermarket and a **** supermarket, which is very convenient. I live in a studio; the room is spacious and has plenty of storage space, with an extractor hood and an oven. There are paid washing machines and dryers downstairs. The sound insulation in the room is excellent, so I can hardly feel the presence of neighbors. The living area has a unique large round window, which is very beautiful. At that time, I stayed in Block A in a west-facing room, and the bed was by the window, so I could get sunlight all afternoon.

I highly recommend it for its great cost-effectiveness, especially for students in the Computer and Engineering schools. It only takes a maximum of 5 minutes on foot to reach Queen's Building. Right across is a Chinese supermarket, which is really convenient.

The booking and renting made was made so much easier for me with Wasim. He guided me through the steps and I completed the booking and paying of the rent with ease. It's been quite easy to navigate through the website that is used to pay and book my room. Definitely would book again for the next semester.

The main entrance leads directly to a nice Chinese supermarket, which is not far from the city center and the library of the engineering college. It's quite good!

Advantages: Cheap and spacious, the room is quite large; there is a bicycle shed; many supermarkets and restaurants around; close to the school. Disadvantages: The room facing the street has windows that cannot be opened; although there is a ventilation fan, it can be stuffy in summer; there is no 24-hour front desk; the laundry room is too small, with only two sets of washing/drying machines.

Other than the lack of a front desk 24 hours a day, I think it is a very cost-effective apartment.

The apartment is nice, but it's a bit small. However, there's a supermarket downstairs, which is very convenient.

No Visa No Pay

No Visa, No Pay The site here to support international students as you plan your studies in the UK for the 2026/27 academic year. If your visa plans don’t go as expected, here’s everything you need to know about our No Visa, No Pay policy, which applies to full-term, part-term, and semester-let accommodation. What Happens if Your Visa Isn’t Approved? If your visa application isn’t approved, the site is here to help. Simply send the site proof of the visa refusal as soon as you can (within 48 hours of finding out, and no later than 7 days before your tenancy start date). Here’s how it works: Proof of Visa Rejection: Please email the site written confirmation (in English) of your visa rejection to admission to the relevant site email address within the required timeframe. The site’ll only accept official written confirmation of the visa decision.

The site’ll do our best to hold your room, though this will depend on availability and our team’s discretion. Responsibility: You’ll need to keep track of your visa status and keep the site informed throughout the process to avoid any misunderstandings or unexpected charges.

Original

You can cancel your booking by giving us written notice as follows: 1. Prior to entering into a Tenancy Agreement: a) If we receive your written notice of cancellation before the Booking Confirmation email is sent, and within 7 days of application, there will be no charge, and your Advance Rent payment will be fully refunded. However, if you do not complete the tenancy agreement within 7 days of application, we reserve the right to keep the Advance Rent payment if the booking is cancelled by either party. 2. After entering into a Tenancy Agreement, but before the tenancy start date: b) If we receive your written notice of cancellation within 72 hours of the Booking Confirmation email, and the tenancy has not yet started, there will be no charge, and your Advance Rent payment will be fully refunded; or c) If we receive your written notice of cancellation after 72 hours of the Booking Confirmation email, and the tenancy has not started, we will not accept the cancellation or surrender of your tenancy until a replacement tenant is found for the Room. 3. On or after the tenancy start date: d) If we receive your written notice of cancellation on or after the tenancy start date, we will not accept the cancellation or surrender of your tenancy until a replacement tenant is found for the Room. In the event you cancel under sections (c) or (d) of this policy, we will make every effort to re-let the Room on your behalf, but we cannot guarantee success. You will remain responsible for paying rent and all other charges until a new tenancy for the Room begins. Once a replacement tenant completes all steps to enter into a tenancy agreement with us and is issued the Booking Confirmation email, your Advance Rent payment (and any other payments towards the rent of the Room) will be fully refunded, less any rent due to the point of takeover. In the event you do not fulfil your rental payment obligations in relation to the payment of rent on the due dates before moving in, we may cancel your tenancy agreement by giving you written notice. In this situation, the Advance Rent payment will not be refunded. In the event we need to cancel the tenancy agreement before you move into the Room, due to reasons beyond our control unknown at the time of issuing the Booking Confirmation, we will provide you with as much notice as possible in the circumstances and refund the Advance Rent and any other fees you have paid. We reserve the right to cancel any bookings where false or misleading information was provided to obtain the tenancy or booking.
