This was actually the worst place I’ve ever been too. Staff was downright awful. My light in my bathroom didn’t work for 12 days and I told the staff constantly and no one did anything about it. Cleaning people came to my room once in a span of 24 days and when they did they barged into my room without knocking and it was extremely awkward. I asked to be switched to another room because of my power out in my room and they just opened an emergency shower all the way at the front desk for me?? Which was so out of the way considering i would have to go all the way down from the 4th floor cross the courtyard and take a shower and then go all the way back freezing cold. Truly was dissapointed.

Had the best experience at this hall. The staff and facilities are amazing. The location is great and I felt right at home. Whenever I had an issue, site staff were extremely useful and attentive! I’d love to especially mention Tunde and Isaac. They always had a smile on their face and provided excellent service.I highly recommend this hall for first year students at ucl

Decent sized room, and was clean when moving in. The windows don't really open enough for ventilation, and it gets very hot in the summer. The staff are very kind and helpful. Location is bad, far from shops and the tube, with little bus service.
