CityBlock Penny Street

I have lived in CityBlock for 3 years now. The first year, I lived in the Marton Street building and I lived in the Penny Street building for the other 2 years. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and I couldnt have asked for a better group of people to make me feel at home! Any maintenance issue was fixed within a few hours and any general issues I had were very quickly sorted. The flats and studios are really well furnished and have everything you need. The location is also ideal. I would definitely highly recommend CityBlock to anyone looking for both studios and shared flats in town!

CityBlock has the best rooms and facilities for students. Rooms, kitchen and living area are all modern and clean. It has a great location right in the heart of the center, and the staff are very friendly and supportive. Highly recommended.

Staff are brilliant, always helpful and friendly. The studio flat was spacious and comfortable - honestly one of the best student accommodations I've seen. There's a sainsbury local across the street and the town center is close too. Really loved going for walks along the canal too since cityblock is right beside it. The weekly cleanings were great too - really helped me keep things tidy and neat.

Ive lived at City Block Penny Street for 2 years. The flats are very well furnished and decorated and make you feel like home. Staff is incredibly helpful and go above and beyond with any issues. Ive been very thankful for all city block members whove helped me with relocations during my placement year. If you are going on placement City Block is the best place to go back to after a year in industry! Ive also been able to make really good friendships that last!

I stayed in CityBlock Penny Street for 3 months in 2022 and very much enjoyed my time there. Its very close to the town centre and the staff is friendly. Its completely furnished and allows for flexible dates to stay (per week). It was exactly what I was looking for, I had no problems there. The room itself is very cosy, with a bed embedded in the surrounding furniture and a bathroom in the room. The kitchen/living room is big and include utensils, pans, etc. (enough for everyone, there is also 2 of every machine/appliance, including dishwasher; no coffee machine though). The living room has a big tv and comfortable sofas. Its very sunny because theres also a balcony along the living room and a terrace in the middle of the building. The dryers and washing machines are very conveniently situated on the ground floor. Cleaning ladies come every Wednesday to your room and every Sunday to the kitchen/living room. There is also heating connected to movement detector. I booked my room without much time in advance, but the staff always answered very quickly. You have also an online platform to submit any problem and they fixed it within a week every time I asked for anything. Just be aware that you have to pay in advance and buy bed linen, and you will be just fine there
