The studios and prices
26 Great George Street is a studio-only building, so every room is a self-contained space with a bed, study area, ample storage, an en-suite bathroom and a kitchen, giving students full privacy and independence. The studio tiers range in size, for example a Classic Plus Studio of around 18 to 19 square metres, a Premium Studio of around 23 to 25 square metres, and a Premium Plus Studio of around 25 to 27 square metres, so you can choose the space that suits your budget. Rent is all-inclusive, covering all utility bills, high-speed Wi-Fi, contents insurance and access to all amenities, and a £99 deposit secures your booking. You can pay in full or in three, four or ten instalments with a UK guarantor. Prices vary by studio tier and the letting season, so confirm current rates at booking.
Location and getting to campus
26 Great George Street has a prime central Leeds location within easy reach of all the city's major universities. The University of Leeds is about a six-minute walk, Leeds Beckett University around five minutes on foot, Leeds Arts University a short distance away, and Leeds Trinity a drive away. Civic bus stops are two to three minutes away and the Leeds bus terminal about an eight-minute walk. The city's shopping (Trinity Leeds and the Grand Arcade are eight to nine minutes on foot), dining, nightlife, museums and green spaces are all close by. My tip: being a six-minute walk from the University of Leeds and five from Leeds Beckett makes 26 Great George Street ideal for students at either, with the whole city centre on your doorstep.

The honest picture
26 Great George Street is positioned as a luxury, all-inclusive, studio-led building, and its strengths are its central location minutes from both the University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett; its full amenity stack (gym, cinema, study, and podcasting spaces); and the simplicity of all-inclusive rent with a low £99 deposit. Residents on StudentCrowd highlight the modern studios, the community feel, and the convenient location. The honest counterpoints: as a studio-only, luxury building, it is not the cheapest option in Leeds (shared houses in Hyde Park or Woodhouse cost less per person), and studios suit students who want privacy over a big shared-flat social scene. Check your specific studio tier and its size before booking.
Who 26 Great George Street suits
Strong fit: University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett students who want to walk to campus; students who want a private, self-contained studio with a full amenity stack; those who value a gym, cinema and study spaces; anyone who wants all-inclusive rent and a central location with a low deposit.
Weaker fit: budget-focused students who would pay less in a Hyde Park or Woodhouse shared house; those who want a large shared flat for the social side; students who prefer a smaller building.
