I’ve had an incredible experience living at this student accommodation, and I couldn’t recommend it more. The staff here are absolutely fantastic, with Alberto, Alfie, and Marius from the maintenance team always going above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. They are quick, friendly, and super helpful whenever anything needs fixing or adjusting.
Gabi, the house manager, truly stands out for her exceptional leadership and dedication. She makes the place feel like home and is always there to assist with any needs or concerns, creating a positive and welcoming atmosphere.
The amenities are top-notch! The gym is well-equipped and perfect for keeping in shape, and there’s a mahjong table for some fun downtime with friends. The cinema room, complete with karaoke, is such a great way to unwind and enjoy a movie night with your flatmates.
What I really love is the fantastic range of events organised each month. It’s a great way to meet new people and make the most of your time here
Great expierence. The staff is very helpful and cheerful. Security is also great. The place is kept cleaned. The social spaces are well kept. Laundary is very affordable. The grab and go morning breakfast is very good. The coffee and breakfast facility makes it more easy as a student. The Riverview makes it even more perfect. Its also near to my university which is best for me .Its fun to stay
Unilife bargate house is a brand-new apartment. The geographical location of the apartment is very advantageous, and the bus stop at the door is very convenient for me to go anywhere. Moreover, the facilities of the apartment are also first-class, so that I can feel the same experience as at home in the UK.
I like this apartment very much, it is very comfortable. Especially the staff Fran, he gave me a lot of help, very patient and enthusiastic. He is also very friendly and serious in doing things.

The unilife team at Sparkford house are excellent, Dom the building manager is nothing but helpful and bright personality which gives Sparkford house the homely feel. The maintenance team are always helpful if there are any issues in the room.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Unilife at Sparkford House in Winchester, and I can confidently say that it truly enhances the university experience. The accommodation is modern and comfortable, with great facilities that make day-to-day living easy and enjoyable. What really stands out, however, is the strong sense of community fostered by the management team. They host a variety of fun and engaging events throughout the year, making it easy to meet new people and make lasting memories. Whether it's movie nights, quiz events, or social gatherings, there's always something happening that helps create a vibrant, friendly atmosphere.
A special thank you goes to Dom, who always goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Dom’s efforts in organizing events and creating a positive, supportive environment do not go unnoticed, and it's clear that he genuinely cares about making Sparkford House feel like home. Highly recommended, dom also needs to work on his pool skills😂
There isn’t really much of a dull moment there. JuanFran and Gabi make the place active and fun, they are very good to socialise with and connect with, which makes it more enjoyable. It’s always smiles and laughs with them.
The staff within Unilife high street are all extremely friendly and easy to get along with. The building as a whole is great at trying to make students experiences as best as they could be.
The staff is very responsible and patient, the apartment is in a good environment and the facilities are very complete and perfect.
The flat staff were very nice, responsible and eager to help us. As it is a new flat the facilities are very new. Complimentary breakfast is served in the morning and there is also a coffee machine, printer. Hot water is well supplied. The location is very close to the city centre, one minute walk downstairs to the lidl. overall the stay was very good!
I’ve had an incredible experience staying at Unilife High Street! The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of everything, making it so easy to get around. The building itself is modern, well-maintained, and offers all the amenities you could need. But what really makes this place stand out is the staff – they’re simply amazing. Gabi, the supervisor, deserves a special mention; not only is she incredibly friendly and welcoming, but she has such a brilliant personality that makes you feel right at home. Plus, she’s absolutely stunning! I couldn’t be happier with my choice to stay here, and I’m so pleased to say that I’ll be renewing for another year. Unilife High Street is genuinely top-notch!
I’ve had an amazing experience living here. The facilities are well-maintained, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it feels like a home away from home.

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Gabi at the reception, and I can’t express enough how amazing she is! From the moment I arrived, she went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and ensure my stay was perfect. Her warm smile, professionalism, and genuine care for guests truly stood out.
Gabi was incredibly attentive, answering all my questions with patience and providing excellent recommendations that made my trip even more memorable. She’s the kind of person who makes you feel like more than just a guest — she made my experience unforgettable.

the staff are all so nice especially gabi i can’t count how many times she saved me. she’s very professional and always available to help
It can take some time for maintenance if you apply via their app. But the property manager at the reception is very helpful and he can probably solve it within a day or two. I think he’s exceptionally good at his role.
The staff is very friendly and will help with everything.The security is also very good there is 24 hour security staff.The flat is also very cosy and well equipped.
Perfect location, nice services provided by building. And staff here are very professional and helpful, especially Gabi who is my favorite staff here, she’s very kind and friendly.
I’ve had an exceptional experience staying at this student accommodation. The location is absolutely ideal – it's just a short walk from campus, with plenty of local shops, cafes, and transport links nearby. Whether I need to pop into town or grab a quick bite, everything is right on the doorstep.
The accommodation itself is modern, clean, and well-maintained, offering all the facilities I need to study and relax. The communal areas are spacious and welcoming, creating a great environment to socialise with other students.
A special mention must go to Gabi, the supervisor. She’s been nothing short of amazing – always friendly, approachable, and incredibly helpful. Whether I had a query about something in the flat or needed advice on anything, she was always there with a smile, ready to lend a hand. Her dedication to making sure everyone is comfortable and settled in really stands out, and it’s clear that she truly cares about the well-being of all the residents.

A special mention has to go to beautiful Gabi, the supervisor.

Gabi always goes above and beyond to make sure everyone was settled in and enjoying their time there, which really made a difference.

Pretty much the perfect accommodation in every way, only “downside” was the cost, but I shared the studio and split the rent so this was negated and became cheaper, though this did mean two of us living in a small studio.
This apartment exceeded my expectations! It is spacious, clean, and located in a convenient neighborhood. The staff is friendly, and all amenities are well-maintained. Highly recommend.
When I came to live at Unilife Bargate House, I found comfort and a good environment. It's not wrong to choose to stay here. Both complete facilities, good location in the heart of the city centre. There is also a bus stop in front of the tower. Plus, the staff who take care of it is very cute and friendly. Highly recommended for those who are thinking of finding a dormitory.
Living in BH is very fortunate! There are many events every month, and the facilities in the public places are comprehensive (switch, ps5 my favorite). The location is right in the city center and the bus stop is right in front of you so it's easy to get to school~~I really love every member of the staff
The team is really nice! Help me out a lot of thing! There are also lots of social event which I made many friends there. The location is also great!
The student apartment is fantastic! The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-furnished, creating a cozy and comfortable living environment.
