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😂

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. Highly recommend!!

Unilife is the most welcome accommodation I have ever had. I came to the Uk for nearly eight years now; I would say it’s the best! And It’s the only accommodation that provides breakfast, hot chocolate, coffee and tea! The accommodation has an excellent environment and many events and free lessons that residents can attend!Winchester Train station and city centre are not far from Unilife, it will only take around 15 mins walk which is really convenient.Staffs here are nice and kind, they make me feel more relax and comfortable! Staff especially Safi Thier, is the best I have ever met!!!😻 She is really kind and helps me a lot~

Living in Unilife Sparkford House was really a wonderful experience. The studio is neat, clean and modern, very well equipped with everything you need. Its sofa and TV are my favourite! There’s a laundry room with sufficient washing and drying machines that are free of charge. The staff are really kind and friendly, who are always ready to help you. Btw the coffee machine at lobby is great as well!

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.

I’ve been living in Unilife for one year. Everything in here is very good! I got a great private space with a soft double bed, separate bathroom, and a kitchen. More than that, we residents also got free breakfast, coffee and tea.Meanwhile, the area around here is very quiet and safe, and it only need to take 15-20 mins walk to Winchester City Centre for shopping and to Winchester Station for catching a national railway to any other cities.Every staff in Unilife is kind and lovely. They held many interesting events and activities for us. And the reception would take care of our parcels and mails. They also would do thier best to provide assistance when sometimes I need help.
