Frequently Asked Questions

Everything students usually ask before booking.

How Do I Book?

It’s easy - just click on any of the "Book Now" buttons around the website and start your application. If you need any help or advice or want to book their short-term lets or summer stays, you can speak to the Admistay agent.

What Do I Need to Know About the Booking Process?

The booking process is quick and easy but it will be helpful to have some information to hand when you start your application – having the name, email and address of your guarantor, a head and shoulders photo of yourself and a bank card to make your advance rent/booking fee payment (ROI only) will all save you time!

Do I need to pay a deposit to book a room at this property?

To learn more about the deposit requirement, please check the policy section above, or feel free to reach out to your Admistay agent.

How Can I Choose the Best Room For Me?

We want you to choose a room you are going to be happy living in and we know everyone has a different wish list – from the floor the room is on to the view and the amenities in the room, the Residents’ Team will be on hand to discuss this with you and help you make the best selection.

What Size is a Small Double Bed?

Their room descriptions explain whether you will have a standard or small double bed. A small double is the same length as the standard but just a tiny bit narrower. Also known as a 3/4 size bed, small doubles measure approx. 120cm wide x 190cm long. Still plenty of room for a good night's sleep, even if there's two of you sharing.

Can I Come to Have a Look Around Before I Book?

Of course! They are very proud of their properties and would love to show you around. If you want to bring some friends or family members that’s absolutely fine too – they just ask that you speak to their Residents’ Team in advance so they can make sure they have some rooms available to show you. If you find yourself in the area and haven’t had a chance to speak to they you can still pop in, whilst they might not have a room to show you they will still be able to show you around their Residents’ Shared Spaces.

They can also offer online video viewings if you don’t live locally so let they know what works for you!
