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
I had a fantastic experience at Unilife! The social spaces were amazing, spacious, well equipped, and perfect for relaxing or connecting with other residents. The management team was outstanding, always approachable and efficient. Special thanks to Mike, who consistently went above and beyond to help with any issues. His friendly attitude made a real difference. If you’re looking for student accommodation with great amenities and excellent support, I highly recommend Unilife!
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😂
very nice place feel at home，the reception are all very responsibility i have very good living experience
A nice space with some really cool communal areas
Everything is perfect! Management with Gabi on top especially, great location and lots of entertainment!
Very good accomodation! Gabi is lovely and is very accommodating😁 She is a really good asset to the building and is there whenever you need!
This is the most perfect student house in Winchester (I have lived in almost all of the student houses in Winchester in the last four years). Firstly the modern style of the interiors are very clean and functional and there is a very comprehensive range of communal spaces. Secondly, the Unilife management team is very responsive to student problems such as blocked drains and broken cupboards. The most important thing is that Unilife offers a wide range of social activities for students, such as special events every holiday and football matches, all free of charge. It’s really perfect.
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’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. A special shoutout to Gabby who truly goes above and beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable and supported. She’s always approachable, quick to solve any issues, and her friendly demeanor brightens everyone’s day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to stay during their studies.
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!
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.
Staying at Unilife Sparkford House was one of the nicest experiences I had during my time studying in England. I liked the location since it is in a green neighbourhood with safe and quiet surroundings, and amenities like restaurants, shops, public transportations are within 10 to 15 minutes of walking distance. The residence, including all of the recreational facilities and the studio, is pleasant, spacious, and cozy. Also, the staff is extremely nice, friendly, prompt and responsive. Apart from the great services, there is also the social events component which engages the community with fun and great activities, to name some such as the art and study group sessions as well as the gardening. The general atmosphere is quite welcoming and makes one feels at home. It was a genuinely wonderful visit and an incredible place to remember!
I love staying at Unilife, not only are the facilities great but it only takes 5 mins to get to campus. The staff are nice and friendly and although there was once outside issues causing problems with facilities (a water leak on our road), they supported us all through it and kept everyone up to date with any changes. The standard studio room is perfect and doesn’t feel cramped at all especially as there are many spaces within the building you could go to spend time playing games or studying so you aren’t confined to your room anyways. Would always recommend especially if you’re wanting to share a studio with a partner / friend, there’s still enough room.
i love the manager itachi ！ because he is accountable and lovely！ and use his hot heart to hold activities！
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 love the cinema area and the fact that we can have coffee every day. I didn’t expect that I would feel like home, and I love this place. Would recommend it 100%. Thank you to everyone for this lovely months! 😊
I have been loving at Unilife Riverside House for nearly a year and have been loving my experience! Perfectly located, 5 minute walk from Ini Campus and a 10 minute walk from the centre with no need for transport, the studios are very well appointed, modern and spacious. I have my own kitchen and bathroom, super comfy double bed, dining area and study area. I love that I have my own TV and they even include Netflix! The property is very well maintained and cleaned and the service could not be better! In this particular element, a huge Shout to the manager Frank who is always available even on the phone and ready to help whenever needed. The communal areas are great too! I have a gym available 24/7, laundry, table tennis, pool table, PS5 and dedicated study rooms. The Internet is excellent and I can have 3 devices running at the same time without any issues. Makes it great to talk with family and friends abroad whilst carrying out my course work, Overall, just Great!
I’ve had a fantastic experience at this student accommodation! The staff are always incredibly helpful and friendly, and the house manager, Gabi, is especially amazing—she truly goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. The location is perfect, right in the center of all the shops and restaurants, making it super convenient for daily life. The building offers some awesome amenities, including a free gym for residents, a PS5, a karaoke machine, and a great laundry room. Recently, they even installed a mahjong table in response to residents’ requests, which really shows how much they care about creating a community and making sure everyone has what they need to enjoy their time here. Highly recommend!
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 student apartment is fantastic! The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-furnished, creating a cozy and comfortable living environment. The facilities, like the gym and study areas, are top-notch and convenient. The staff is friendly and always ready to assist. It’s a perfect place for studying and socializing. Highly recommended!
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
Though I only lived here temporarily while I was a student at another university, I really enjoyed having the opportunity to live in such a safe and welcoming environment. The studios themselves are extremely spacious, clean and well-equipped for studying and day to day activities. I would advise new residents to come with a couple of lamps for the bedside tables as the overheard lighting can be a little harsh at times (but not too overbearing!). After being a student for 4 years I was so relieved to be able to access such exemplary laundry facilities that were also in the same building I lived in!! Furthermore, the staff at Sparkford House have been extremely helpful, warm and kind; and are always happy to advise or assist you 24/7!! Thank you!!
