    I've never left a review before, but this time, I think, I must do it. My experience in The Stay…read moreClub Camden was extremely bad. And if you are now reading it, deciding whether to stay there, - please, don't do it. Here is why. It was my 3 time studying in London, and I've never had any problems with my accommodation. I was super excited to stay in The Stay Club, as I saw the beautiful pictures of the room on the website and the location was nice. But just to give you an understanding how does it look (expectation vs reality), there at some pictures attached in the post. My room was situated on a ground floor, that is why the only view from my window was concrete and disrupted fence. What is more, there was no separate shower, just water running straight from the ceiling above the washbasin and toilet. The water cannot go out appropriately and the air was terrible. For the whole night I wasn't asleep, because of the loud noises from both outside and inside the building. The air was awful and I just couldn't breathe without my window open all the time. Not to mention the number of insects in the room, which is not surprising due to the humidity and location. One day I was woken up by a spider crawling on my hand. Btw, when I've asked the guy on the reception to change my room, he told me it was the best one. Long story short, I needed find another place to stay for 3 month, which wasn't easy. I needed to pay more (just because it was too late to search for the cheaper options), but I don't regret it at all. Please, think twice if you want to stay in The Stay Club, cause it must be illegal to provide good pictures on the website, while the real accommodation is awful.

    Ok, now I've had some time to reflect on my year at Urbanest Hoxton. It really was a 5-star…read moreexperience for me and totally worth the price. Also, having friends who have lived at other privately owned student halls, I can definitely say that this company is special in the way it treats its residents: as real tenants and customers, NOT just students to be taken advantage of. While there weren't too many other Americans in the building, I made many other great friends of Canadian, Swiss, and English origins. No, they aren't going to make them for you, but its there if you want it. And being a bit older (27 at the time), I still felt comfortable even though many students were undergrads. Excellently appointed rooms-- great showers/bathrooms, well-built furniture, under floor heating. Great, personable staff (tip: be nice to them and they will repay the favor). Fabulous location. Free bikes and bike storage. Laundry always worked and was a reasonable price. SUPER fast internet at all times. When things broke, I actively and promptly saw people trying to fix them. My only con: Sure, some of the other residents were rich, spoiled, douche-bags who have millions of servants at their home and don't know how to bathe themselves or put their garbage in the bin properly. But really, that's my only complaint. And I found cool people to make up for them, so whatever.

    I lived at Urbanest for two years, and by the end of my time there it really did feel like home…read more(which I think is a huge achievement for a student residence because I think some are at risk of feeling a bit like a hotel). There a few things in particular that are worth highlighting: 1) Cosmopolitan Community. From day one the social scene at Urbanest was fantastic, and I made some wonderful friends who I hope will be for life (including my now husband!). Moving to London can be a bit daunting, but the house parties and activities organised by the building made it really easy to integrate. It was great making friends with people from so many different backgrounds. 4 years on I still count some of the people I met at Urbanest as my nearest and dearest. When we get together we still reminisce about our time at Urbanest! We had some serious laughs. 2) The Staff. I cannot praise the staff at Urbanest enough. They are professional but also highly approachable. If ever I had a problem with the flat or some kind of issue they would always fix it. Furthermore, they're just really nice people and actually care about the residents' pastoral needs as well. I remember quite a few times when I'd had a really bad day I'd stop at chat with whoever was on reception and they would really take an interest in what was going on in my life. They're also flexible - I've heard some horror stories from other friends living in private residences where the building seems to be run like a prison! This is certainly not the case at Urbanest. 3) Location and Building. I don't think I need to say much about the building - it's as fab as it looks on the website. True, the rooms are not huge, but the shelving and cupboards are done quite cleverly so you actually have quite a lot of space to put stuff. And I have a LOT of stuff and I happily managed for 2 years! Plus I would really recommend making use of the communal spaces (especially the study room where you'll nearly always find someone else for moral support... particularly if you're pulling a dreaded all nighter..). As for location, well Shoreditch and the surrounding areas are fantastic for students! There are great bars, cheapish places to eat etc. And I always felt safe walking home at night even by myself, which as a girl living in London was really important to me! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Urbanest to anyone. It was a fantastic two years.

    Claredale House is what you can expect a housing hall to be like. It's pretty much like living in…read morethe dorms if you're from America. Tight nit spaces, One kitchen, One bathroom shared between 4 people or 2 bathrooms, bigger kitchen shared between 6. I've lived in these Halls for about seven months now and it's been quite an experience. When I first arrived it was very fun, I got to meet all my flat mates right off the bat who are all quite lovely and a lot of the people around me as well so it started out quite fun. We would have nights out in London, exploring the night life together and just enjoying getting to know another side of the world. The only thing that really is quite the annoyance is the thin walls and the loudness that comes with living with people of all different ages and maturity levels. Sure, it's college/Uni, it's the time to party, rage it up, go out and drink, but when you have class at 9 the next morning and there is a party next door, it's not the best place to be. However, in terms of security they have a great system, a code that enables you to get into the gates and it's an easy walk to the tube or the bus when you need to go to Uni. It comes with a fridge and a microwave, stove, oven, sink and bins, but that's all you get, all the rest you have to supply yourself which is typical for halls. The staff is both really nice and helpful when it comes to moving in and getting around to places. They also have a laundry room with about 6 washers and 6 dryers and it only takes an hour to do both. The internet is consistently good and you get your own room as well which is lovely. The only reason why I give it 3 stars is due to the thinness of walls, the tight nit spaces and that there isn't a common room to hang in besides the kitchen. Other than that though, it's worth the rent and it's a place to live that's close to what you need.

    Just perfect! The location is absolutely great, especially if you feel drawn to up-and-coming…read morehipster places, great parks (such as London Fields and Victoria Park) and the beautiful Regent´s Canal. I felt completely safe all the time, even coming back alone in the night. The office staff is so friendly and helpful with everything and you can even have your parcels delivered there so that, in case you are not home when the postman stops by, you won´t have to go to a pick-up place, but can even get your parcel from the office on the weekend or in the evening. I am really happy to have chosen Clarendale for a summer stay and would definitely come again.

    Student housing. It's got a twin-sized bed against the wall, and about the same size for floor…read morespace next to it, followed by the same amount of space (about 2.5 feet) for a long wall desk/shelf. Above are two wide shelves, where you can put books, kitchenware, whatever you want. You get three drawers at the end of the desk for storage. For anything else, make a trip to Muji. Also has a small closet, and a personal bathroom. My bathroom has had issues where the faucet literally would spray ALL over the bathroom, until I twisted it to the point that it nearly came off, and I had to screw it back on again. It also has ONE tiny shelf right above the sink, which offers 2 faucets: one that is normal for about 10 seconds, then turns SCALDING hot, and the other, which remains semi-cold, but you have to pull back up to turn back off (they're the knobs that you usually push, and then they come back up automatically on their own). Also, had a guy come in 3 days in a row one week because evidently my shower was leaking to the floor below me, and though I waited over 24 hours each time, the water kept leaking through the filling. The rooms are located in sectioned-off areas, with a long hallway that leads to one common kitchen, and about 4-5 individual rooms. If you want to talk to management or a "front desk" person, you have to leave the premises and go around the corner to the other building. The wifi here sucks. It's slow, and within a week of living here, my MAC got hacked. Honestly, Elizabeth Croll next door is a lot nicer. You get a bigger (full-sized) bed, more shelving to put your belongings- either an armoire or a bench with shelves, and your own personal kitchen- or at least a nicer one, depending what floor you live on. You also get a front desk person.
