Cityside FAQs

Due to the delay, I communicated with the apartment about the Flexible Booking Policy. When should I

Since the Flexible Booking Policy is reviewed and decided by the apartment on a case-by-case basis, there is no strict uniform standard. Please confirm the revised payment amount and payment deadline with the apartment separately after your application for the Flexible Booking Policy is successful.

What is the booking process like?

First, you need to select your preferred room and then fill in the consultant's ID on uhpomes.com to place your order. After that, your consultant will submit the application to the apartment. Once the apartment issues the contract, you will need to pay the deposit. Finally, you will confirm the contract and link a guarantee card for future rent payments.

Check-out process?

You must vacate the room by 11 AM on the Tenancy End Date specified in the contract. Any items left in the room will be considered abandoned by the apartment, and a cleaning fee will be charged.

The apartment is very comfortable, close to the school, and the staff are very nice. They are able to provide assistance within their capabilities. The downside is that the corridor has poor sound insulation and there are relatively few common areas.

There is basically nothing to be dissatisfied with.
There are quite a few regular activities in the apartment, which are quite interesting.
It's very close to the school and also quite close to the shopping places.
It's just that the windows are a bit small.

The facilities are quite complete, but there is no user manual, so many appliances cannot be used at first. The internet speed is below average, the sound insulation is average, but the residents on the higher floors are very quiet, so it won't be too noisy.

Close to the school! Tesco is just downstairs, and it takes only 5 minutes to get to Morrisons and the Asian supermarket. The room is relatively spacious, with plenty of storage space. However, the cleaning is not done well; the carpet in the room is hard to clean, and the refrigerator has an odor, while the plumbing is noisy.
