 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the privilege of calling St. George's Tower my home for an entire year, and what an incredible experience it has been! From the moment I moved in, I felt welcomed and embraced by the fantastic community and the dedicated staff.

First and foremost, the location is unbeatable. Situated right in the heart of Leicester, everything I needed was just a stone's throw away – from the university campus to shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The convenience of living here is unparalleled.

The facilities provided were top-notch. My room was not just a room; it was a cozy, well-designed sanctuary where I could study, relax, and unwind. The communal spaces were modern, spacious, and always impeccably maintained. The stunning views from the tower never ceased to amaze me – Leicester looked beautiful from up there, especially at sunset!

What truly sets St. George's Tower apart, though, is the sense of community. I made lifelong friends here from all around the world, and the regular social events organized by the staff made it easy to meet new people and create lasting memories.

Speaking of the staff, they are the unsung heroes of this residence. Always approachable, friendly, and quick to address any concerns or issues, they made me feel safe and well taken care of throughout my stay. Maintenance requests were handled promptly, and they genuinely cared about making our time here enjoyable. Thank you for an unforgettable year! 🏙️🌟👏

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a student living here for over a year, I can confidently say that it's one of the best student accommodations I've come across. From the moment I moved in, I felt welcomed and at home, thanks to Jarrod and Lauren, who are incredibly helpful and warm. One of the things I appreciate about the accommodation is the attention to detail that the managers put into creating a homely environment. The common areas are always clean and well-maintained, and there are plenty of spaces to relax and socialize with other residents. There's always somewhere to go when you want to unwind after a long day of studying. In terms of the living spaces themselves, I couldn't ask for more. My studio is modern and well-furnished, with everything I need to live comfortably. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances, and the bathroom is spacious and clean. Plus, with 24-hour security, I always feel safe and secure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I first came to Leicester I thought that I will not have such a great year. But so far it’s been great! and that’s all thanks to Jarod and Lauren who have been absolutely amazing people. They always find a way to make my day a better one, and it’s so nice that I can have a genuine chat and laugh with them. I’m grateful to know them and I thank them for being the amazing people they are.
