I love how close to the University of Leicester the accommodation is, as well as a 10-15 minute walk to town. The building is secure and warm. Really recommend it! Special thanks to Leona who manages and runs the place and provides super support any time needed and above all understanding! 😊

Really love the location and the support from the management group. The renovated building and the rooms have a really cozy and warm feeling☺️✌🏽 I want to give a shout out to Leona who has supported me and guided me through the selection of the room to the arrival in Leicester and has been there for any issues or concerns I had.

I would NOT recommend this accommodation. I moved into 134 New Walk on 12 September 2026, and my experience so far has been very disappointing. When I moved in, the oven and hob were not working. I reported this on 15 September, and after a member of staff worked on the electrical box, they started working again. Since then, the electrical box has been making two clicking noises at random times throughout the day. I have sent multiple emails through the accommodation app and to the relevant email address, but as of 15 October, the following issues remain unresolved: - The electrical box makes random clicking noises throughout the day. - The bathroom sink drains extremely slowly. - The toilet seat is loose. - The shower head holder does not stay in place properly and sometimes falls while the water is running. - The kitchen tap is loose. What makes this particularly frustrating is that I have repeatedly reported these problems, yet they have still not been resolved after a month. Meanwhile, I received a voicemail informing me that I would be charged £250 for leaving cardboard boxes from parcels outside my room. I understand that accommodation needs to maintain health and safety standards, but it is frustrating to receive a substantial charge over cardboard boxes while reported maintenance issues, including a potentially concerning electrical issue, remain unresolved, even though it is definitely an infinitely bigger health and safety issue. The stairs are another concern. They are so narrow that I cannot comfortably fit my entire foot on a step. I believe this warrants attention from management, particularly given the emphasis placed on health and safety elsewhere in the building. Parcel deliveries are also unnecessarily difficult. Some delivery drivers do not seem to know where to leave parcels when residents are unavailable. A clear notice explaining that undelivered parcels should be taken to 140 New Walk, where reception is available, would help prevent confusion. I have already had a parcel go missing and had to contact Amazon for a refund. Reception is not always staffed either. On one occasion, I called to collect a parcel but had to wait outside for approximately 20 minutes because nobody was available. The room itself is a good size, and that is the main positive I can identify. However, the unresolved maintenance problems, lack of apparent progress after repeated reports, and difficulties with parcel deliveries have made my experience disappointing. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this accommodation to other students. Book Oval Living - Student Accommodation instead. Don't make my mistake of booking here.
