The Toybox

The Toybox is an outstanding student accommodation in Birmingham, boasting an unbeatable location—just a short walk from Five Ways Station, with a 10-minute train ride to the University of Birmingham and easy access to supermarkets like Tesco and Morrison . Its modern facilities are impressive: well-equipped en-suites and studios with large floor-to-ceiling windows for great lighting, plus a gym, study room, and game room that cater to both study and relaxation . The 24-hour security and friendly Chinese reception offer peace of mind, while regular social events and a vibrant neighborhood with restaurants and cinemas make it a perfect home for international students .

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment. The place was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was convenient, close to public transport and restaurants. The host was friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

If you’re looking for student accommodation that balances study and social life, this one is a must-try! First, the facilities are top-notch: the study room is quiet with fast Wi-Fi (never lags when I’m doing group projects or attending online classes), and the common kitchen has enough cookers and fridges so we don’t have to wait in line. What I love most is the community vibe—there are small events held monthly (like movie nights or baking workshops), which helped me make friends with other international students quickly. The room is cozy, and the window has a nice view of the garden, so it’s easy to relax after a long day of lectures. The management is also very helpful, always replying to emails promptly. Highly recommend it!

I really enjoy living in my dorm because the environment is clean, quiet, and comfortable. The rooms are well-designed and have everything I need for daily life. The common areas are bright and tidy, which makes it easy to relax and meet friends. The dorm staff are very friendly and always ready to help whenever I have a problem. The service is fast and thoughtful, which makes life here very convenient. Overall, the dorm provides a safe and pleasant place to live, and I feel very happy and comfortable staying here.

Definately a great place for student living. Tesco, Morrison,pharmacy,a new opening Chinese supermarket,Second-hand shop are all within a few minutes walking distance.Also at most 10mins walk you can reach the city center and 3 mins train to the university. In addition，the facilities are well-equipped, extremely fast WiFi and convenience for parcel collection. Students live here are all very friendly and would always provide a helping hand if possible.The reception is very nice and help us asap,just like our sister.It’s really a wonderful experience to live here！

After exploring several different student housing options, I'd say Toybox is the best. All the staffs are so kind, and especially Sandy and John, who are always willing to assist when required. The students who live here are all very friendly and would always provide a helping hand if needed. It's easy to get around, whether it's to school or the city centre. Tesco, Morrison's, and the pharmacy are all within easy walking distance. In addition, the window provides a pleasant and unobstructed view, which always brightens my mood when I begin a new day.

The ToyBox is a flat that I really liked, especially its Premium Studio with all the amenities. At first my impression was that the decor was very upmarket and clean, and all the furniture was relatively new. The reception was lit up every night and there was a security guard on duty throughout the night, which gave me a sense of home and security. The common areas are clean and tidy and often have different decorations, especially during the festive season, making it feel very festive. There are also free interactive English classes every week to help with socialising and submitting English skills.The receptionist was very gentle and helpful with all my questions and the cleaners, security and maintenance staff I met here were all very polite and professional and any problems were resolved quickly and patiently.

I confirm this is a very unique apartment which makes me feel at home.in some time,reception will hold some activities and do the decorations for the special festivals.We have sufficient equipments such as gym,laundry room.And the stuff also will check the security for us to keep us safe.Very perfect apartment,worth to order！

I have been living in Toybox for a month, and I’m really happy with my experience so far. Its location is extremely convenient — it’s very close to public transport, making it easy to reach both the city centre and the University of Birmingham within minutes. The area feels safe and lively, with supermarkets nearby, which makes daily life much more comfortable. Overall, Toybox offers both convenience and a pleasant living environment, and I would definitely recommend it to other students.

This apartment is elegant and well-lit, fully equipped with everything you need. It offers great convenience and a cozy atmosphere, perfect for both studying and relaxing.
