4.5

The place is absolutely fabulous, so clean and modern. The individual rooms allow for personal space with lots of room to relax after a long hard day of lectures. As for the common area, well it is utterly stunning with simple yet functional crockery perfect for having friends over, or just a quiet night in. And as for the facilities…well it’s like a hotel. And a nice one too!! 10/10 would recommend for incoming students.

Absolutely brilliant accommodation, the staff are lovely. The premises is really clean and well looked after and I am really enjoying my time at Nido. 100% recommend it, it's great for getting to know other students too since Nido organise their own events for their residents. Everything Is in top condition.
