Reviews of West Wing Here Students - Cardiff Student Accommodation

M. R.

I was really stunned by the efforts the staff members take to make our stay comfortable. The courtyard stands out from most of the accomodations in Cardiff with the new lights and covered seating arrangements. Living in a studio couldn't have been more comfortable with a decent room space and much more than asked utility storages. To sum it up, one would never feel out of place when in west wing because the people around along with the staff will never let you feel low and would always have so much on the plate to offer.

N. H.

Amazing accommodation with welcoming staff making you constantly feel at home, help is always available whenever needed and in general a great place to stay!

Very good flats

T.

I love this accommodation just moved in as a first year and truly love it. I am an engineering student and the queens building is only 5 minutes walk from my room! The kitchen is enormous and has tonnes of room to have friends over and be sociable. The internet speeds are insanely quick so as a gamer its great. Also the cinema room is amazing with an 82" tv which you can stream to from your laptop and have a movie night. Honestly the best student accommodation in Cardiff for the money heavily suggest going you won't regret.

v. j.

Love the place, really nice ambience and very helpful staff!

M. T.

We stayed at west wing for about a year, and it was a pretty fab experience. The staff are really friendly as well as the security, they’re really helpful. And were really understanding when we had issues with our student loan coming through which caused us to have lots of late payments at the beginning of our tenancy. Also left us great references for our new place moving forwards.

M. D.

I couldn’t recommend The West Wing higher! The staff is really helpful and friendly, and solves any problem as quickly as possible. I would recommend it for everyone.

Stayed here for one week. Enjoyed my stay. Staff are extremely friendly. Location is excellent. Very close to the city centre and right next to the bustling City Road which is packed with shops/cafes/restaurants etc. Also close to Roath Park which is one of the most beautiful parks you’ll ever come across. Room was fine. You have 2 cooking hobs and fridge/freezer so you can cook your own meals to save money. Even though there were quite a few students around the room was surprisingly very quiet at night. Slept well every night apart from one night but that was only due to my restlessness. If I have to be a bit picky I will say that they could do with a hook/rail in the bathroom for towels. The double bed duvet cover also had a single duvet inside it so it was a little bit awkward. There were also no pots and pans but in all fairness the lady did offer to bring me some cookware but I had brought my own after reading someone else’s review regarding this. I will definitely be coming back again. It’s an excellent price for a city centre location and the accommodation is very good and modern.

J. P.

An amazing place with friendly staff, and everyone has a great sense of community.

E. B.

Visited with my son to view accommodation, both staff members very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful

The room is larger than expected. The staff is friendly

Z. K.

Haven't had a chance to check the accommodations out in person, but I just had my virtual viewing online and I can confidently give the 5 stars. I was booked in with Christian for the viewing today, and he did an amazing job of showing me around the place as well as answering any questions that I had. He was very informative the entire way through, and made sure that I was comfortable with everything before concluding the call. The place seems amazing, and having the friendly and helpful staff just tops of the experience.

Such a lovely place here fo homey

The place is really nice. Big and quiet, they have dorms or flats for students with a shared kitchen, but also studios which i didn't really see. The dormitory seems nice and people are nice as well Some minding their own business, not really too loud. Respectful, I would say.

Had a virtual tour with Christian today looking for a postgraduate accommodation for summer while i do my dissertation ! Really like the social aspect of living around people on my course as well as having the right facilities to sit and work in peace and get lots done. Made me laugh and feel like i want to move in already ! staff all seemed smiley and welcoming so can't wait to be here for the summer. Christian in particular was very informative and answered any questions, it seems like they are very good at accommodating their students ! Thanks guys :)

G. C.

The best value for money accommodation in Cardiff, the kitchen is huge and the staff are very friendly! Highly recommended! ! !

Q. Y.

(Translated) Super recommended, first, cheap, then the room is large, the kitchen is very large, the 6-person room has two oversized refrigerators, two microwaves, there is an oven, there is a dishwasher, there is a vacuum cleaner, there is a sofa and a TV, and the apartment has Free gym, study room, recreation room, kitchen for party, all facilities are new ~ service is good, bathroom is blocked, someone will take care of it soon after report, walk to engineering college for 5 or 6 minutes, anyway The best choice to make in Cardiff (Original) 超级推荐，首先， 便宜，然后房间大，厨房超大， 住的6人间， 有两个超大的冰箱，有两个微波炉， 有烤箱，有洗碗机，有吸尘器， 有沙发有电视，公寓配套有免费健身房，学习室，娱乐室，聚会公用的厨房，所有设施都很新~服务也都挺好的，浴室堵了， 上报后很快有人来处理，到工学院走路5，6分钟， 总之是来卡迪夫后做的最正确的选择

t. j.

To be honest, this place is the most cost-effective hostel in Cardiff, and the people are very nice. It is a comfortable place to live and a comfortable life.

安.

A very good apartment with new facilities and very close to the Institute of Technology.

c. h.

It’s great to live in such a dormitory for the first year

A. B.

We didn't have the best of starts checking in at this property - although it looked great, it didn't meet up to expectations initially. But when Nell got involved - what a different story! She listened, promised to take action and sort our concerns and that she did. Understanding, friendly and took action to resolve all the concerns and more. I was really impressed. It's not always about getting it right that sets you apart - it's how you deal with things when they go wrong is what really matters. Many companies would learn a thing or two from Nell! Well done and thank you!

A. J.

The West Wing is a fantastic place to live as a student, the facilities such as the study area and gym are useful and the staff are always available and ready to help with any issues. Leyton, the maintenance man, is especially kind and helpful, responding to any issues on the same day as reporting them. Truly a perfect place to live!

I've been living in west wing for about a month now and I gotta say it's been a wonderful ride. They have many amenities plus amazing yard to sit in all through the night . It's been a wonderful experience !!

J. P.

I didn't stay here in the end as I had a change of circumstances, but I had good customer service when I enquired. Christian responded to me promptly when I emailed and took the time to call me as soon as a room came on the waiting list. He answered all my questions and was very helpful and knowledgeable.

H. L.

With moving out of my student house I needed a place to stay for July until my new house was ready. It was 26th June and I had no place to go so I contacted The West Wing and they sorted it out the same day. I stayed there for a month and had a warm and friendly experience. The room was clean, the kitchen and living room in my cluster flat was cosy and a great social area. I only stayed for a short time but it was great. I would like to thank all of the staff for helping me in a stressful situation and continuing to be so welcoming through out my time there.

K. B.

Christian and Nathan have been really helpful in arranging an online viewing of the accomodation for me! Christian showed me around and answered all my questions! West wing appears to be really good, well furnished with all necessities! Initially I was a bit hesitant, but after the video call, I am at ease and can make a well informed decision.

J. S.

A great place for students looking to live in the centre of Cardiff with really friendly, outgoing staff. Security is fairly important thing for me and I have no faults at all (even with the new pressures of COVID-19) - Highly recommend this accommodation for any students seeking an affordable and spacious place to live

L. A.

I have just had a virtual viewing with my daughter and Christian was amazing. He clearly is passionate about his job and knows how to connect with people and hands down, we will book a room at the West Wing over any of the other properties we have seen in Cardiff. None of the other companies actually really appeared to care about the person, they were more interested in meeting their targets and some couldn't have cared less if we had taken a room with them or not. The West Wing CEO needs to sit up and take notice. Here you have someone that is responsible for your increase in profits and Christian is the make or break between students signing a contract or going elsewhere. There was no hard sell at all, it was the connection , passion and enthusiasm for people and his job that shone through. My daughter commented after having had numerous virtual viewings ' I really liked Christian, he took time to introduce me to members of staff during the virtual viewing and it seems the type of place where they would know everyone by name'. After the virtual viewing Christian took time to message us and we had a point of contact for further questions. Unlike other Companies, Christian took time to answer my questions, knew exactly what he was talking about in terms of prices and costs . My daughter looks forward to moving in to West Wing in the next few weeks. Thank You Christian!

S. M.

Absolutely incredible customer service from Christian especially with helping find last minute accommodation that fits our needs after a terrible experience elsewhere. Very attentive and listened to the needs of my disabled daughter without making assumptions. Highly recommend. He did a WhatsApp video call tour which was a BRILLIANT idea in response to the limitations of covid just blown away by the customer service.

S.

Helped move my daughter in last month. Seems ok as far as accommodation is concerned. Pretty clean surroundings outside. Rooms inside don't seem to get cleaned though. My daughter has moved into her friends old apartment and her friends rubbish is still left behind as is her spew mark on the wooden floor from at least 3 weeks ago!!! Security is lax. The fake mall cop guy spends his time watching his phone or smoking outside. As a former security service officer, I can truthfully say that he wouldn't last 30 seconds in a "situation". The door pass cards are easy to get around. I waited outside for a few students to come by and just went in with them. No questions asked. I'm a rough looking, big guy of 50. Surely I don't look like another regular student?

O. L.

Moved in on the weekend with no clue of what it looks like and was really surprised. its so modern and spacious. Staff are so friendly and welcoming I felt at ease as soon as I walked in. My bedroom was spotless and so much bigger than expected. kitchen and bathroom are great as well again pretty big and very clean.

A. T.

The West Wing is my choice of residence for University. The staff are very friendly and welcoming! There are a number of excellent facilities at the West Wing, and the rooms are very modern and well furnished. Overall, a great place to stay!

L. L.

I rented here for 44 weeks and overall the flat facilities were very good and most of the staff were very friendly. However I gave two stars because of the inefficiency of the maintenance and the unfriendly impatience shown by individual staff at times. The induction cooker in our kitchen was broken and after the fault was reported for over 2 months and not fixed, we went to reception almost every week to ask when it would be fixed. They did come once during that time, but the problem was not fully solved and then it was left unresolved. It was an unhappy experience for the five of us in the flat to be eating takeaway and cold food for over two months! ———————— Finally the stuff apologised and fixed it before two days I left this accommodation! ...-->4 stars!!!

J. C.

So happy to have chosen to spend my year at The West Wing in Cardiff. As not only is it a close walk to various amenities such as shops and restaurants, the staff are all very helpful and try their best in making your experience here at The West Wing more enjoyable. Would recommend this student halls due to its proximity to the train station as well as Cardiff University buildings with the School of Journalism being only 20 mins away :)

R. F. D.

Tremendous staff, especially Mr. Chris! he always helping me when I forgot my key card. the facilities over here are very nice especially with an indoor Gym they have. I would recommend rent over here, Its close to Queens building if you study engineering in Cardiff University. Although it would be better if the West Wing make a log book for borrowing the vacuum cleaner.

Z. L.

I had a WhatsApp viewing with my parents, Christian was so welcoming and friendly! He answered all of our questions honestly and showed us around the building. The gym, cinema room and study area all look fantastic. He has definitely sold it to us! I cannot wait to stay here in September. Thank you Christian!

S. A. M.

Booked a studio for September 2021 after a virtual viewing. The service so far has been absolutely fantastic. Any queries are almost instantly answered. Chris is an amazing manager who will make sure you get the best room according to your preferences.

S. S.

Got a chance to view the accommodation virtually with Christian's help and it indeed seems quite impressive. Kudos to Christian for being really helpful and friendly in clarifying concerns. Hoping for an amazing stay ahead, from September..!!

R. T.

I had a lovely viewing of the place with Christian earlier today. He was super helpful and even showed the amenities available at West Wing. The rooms look super lush and have a lovely view towards the courtyard.

L. J.

Had the most amazing experience booking my room at the West Wing. Was given a great tour by Christian Morgan, the accommodation manager, who was really supportive and attentive to making my experience the best it can be. Very Impressed!!

j. n.

I called up to arrange a viewing in person and sure enough, the team managed to book me in for that very same day, even when other places didn’t allow this due to covid 19. I was greeted by Christian at the door who wore all the protective gear needed (as did we). Christian was an excellent tour guide, and a bubbly character who seemed to know every student or staff member we walked past or came into contact with. He was very informative, and did a good job of accommodating to my own specific needs. The facilities such as the gym, and the brand new cinema room looked amazing and the 10-bed cluster room that I viewed looked spacious and filled all my needs. I look forward to move in day in September and to finally meet my flat mates!

L. Z.

Your service is very excellent, I like there very much, If you can have available room, it will be much better.

V. F.

Definitely the best student accommodation in Cardiff! The location is perfect and you can be able to get everything you want. The staff is friendly and polite that they reply your email quickly, they are also happy to help with your enquiries. The studio I am living at has a good view as well!

A. H.

The studio in general is very clean and tidy, the bed fits one person only. There is no oven or (Stove) in the kitchen, it’s basically a microwave, and there is a small refrigerator in the room. Chris is a great manager, he and his team provides a very good services for the residents. Everything else seems good here, there’s also a 24 hours security in the place, the gym is closed due to the current situation of COVID-19.

J. E.

This is a parents review. My daughter will be staying in the West Wing as of September. We have been here twice to have a look at the accommodation. The first being last week; where my wife accompanied us to generally take in the feel for the place and the second was today so that my daughter could book a specific room. Primarily, we have dealt with Ewan, who is extremely knowledgeable of the whole place and answered all of our queries in an instant. I thoroughly enjoyed his humour as it is geared to all of us. The most important point about him, though, is his overall nature, which I feel is very mature and welcoming. He sold this to us last week with a fantastic pitch. Nell appears to be very astute in her position as the manageress and was extremely helpful at all times when we spoke with her. We haven't had much contact with Christian but I have every confidence that he would be just as good at his job as Ewan. What we have seen of the accommodation has left us very excited for our daughter and I personally believe that she will have a great experience here, especially as it is the first time that she has "left home". The rooms are very spacious and, though we were unable to view from her booked room, I would hope that the vista will be excellent. She is very much looking forward to September now, to take that first tentative step into the "unknown". Thanks all. We will see you soon.

G. A.

As a student living in an ensuite studio i have to say i am pretty happy. The room is new and really appealing. There's plenty of space to chuck your stuff as well (i used to live in a shared house for the past 2 years so you can imagine i had plenty of stuff). The staff are really helpful and friendly which makes life more relaxing as you know one or another you'll find the solution to your problem. In addition to that, there are fun games being organised every now and then. In general there is a very social atmosphere around the accommodation. There's always people outside in the courtyard up for a chat. Finally, the location is great as it close to the city centre (about 5-10 minutes walking distance) Definitely worth staying here!

s. k.

A modern Student accommodation, all staff are really nice and helpful! The best part of the accommodation. is that it has its own cinema room, gym and a nice study space which is really helpful during exam period! The kitchen is really big and spacious!

H. F. C.

I am a first year student and the West Wing has been great place to stay, the staff are extremely friendly, the facilities are great with the gym being one of the highlights and overall the rooms are very spacious and are finished to a high standard. Looking at other student residences I realised I certainly made the right choice by deciding to stay at the West Wing.

J. M.

You get what you pay for, which in this case is unfilled student accommodation that is let out as holiday apartments. It was fine for what I needed - 2 nights close to the city centre and transport links - but it was pretty noisy at night and at 2am I found myself in the terrace yard with several others after my smoke alarm was set off by plumes of smoke travelling up the corridor. The explanation given was that someone had been trying to make toast. I can only assume they were using a bonfire to do it. There were no apologies made and no attempts to curtail the noise levels from what I could tell. My room had no kettle , just a box with a nice photo of what I should've had and the combi oven was not user friendly which made me understand the bonfire scenario a bit better I must say. No tea towel or any other way to dry dishes etc other than your own bath towel. No tv either which is what really makes you feel you're just staying in an empty property. On the plus side though you are close to everything you could possibly need, the property had taken adequate steps to create a Covid compliant venue, the wifi signal is really very good and I had no issues streaming movies or using zoom for video chats. My kettle issue was resolved quickly by a clearly over worked desk clerk (the only one I saw actually so give that girl a medal!) I asked the poor girl for a dish cloth and was told there was nothing left to provide (?) Still my bath towel did make a great dish cloth and doubled up as a bath towel when I wanted to use the single tiny complimentary pot of shampoo & showergel in one that was not sealed and looked as though it had been refilled. I will say this though. My room was impeccable clean. It was literally SPOTLESS. So in short this place is great for a short stay, Clovid compliant, close to everything you need with clean facilities and great wifi. But bring your own tea towel and ear plugs 🙂

c. d.

The staff are lovely. They provide an excellent service, The West Wing is a very nice place to live - like a home from home, it's spacious and tidy. We are always kept up to date with what's happening in The West Wing or upcoming. The facilities are great and it is great value for money!

H. F.

Great welcome by Christian and his West Wing team Sat which made our daughters introduction to Cardiff Uni living so comforting and straight forward in these very strange times. The accommodation, services and location are second to none, more like a hotel and certainly not like in my day! A massive individual THANK YOU to Christian who was personally so welcoming, informative and helped our daughter settle in so confidently. He 100% delivered on what he promised us, all with a smile and his lovely Welsh humour, West Wing comes highly recommended, it sets the benchmark for all other student accommodation in Cardiff to follow.

C. Z.

I love it so so so much!!! My room is great, and it is the best one i ever have☺☺. The surrounding area is also great. What is worth to mention is that their service is also excellent. All in all, choosing this apartment is the best decision I've made since coming to the UK. All the staff here are very friendly and lovely.

S. S.

Overall good place to live whilst studying, Christian the manager is a really top guy, it's a clean place in general, however i'm paying £140 a week where some people around the west wing that I know are all paying different prices. I was told pricing is in a 3 tiered system which gets more expensive over the year which isn't true as they had offers on weeks prior to move in date that were cheaper than people who booked on earlier in the year for the same tenancy, so the prices are inconsistent & and the 3 tiered system is flawed.I think COVID-19 affected the amount of rooms that they could fill leading to random older people who aren't students living here, but on the whole good place to stay whilst studying and the study room is open 24 hours which is good.

N. W.

Lovely place, very welcoming, staff can't do enough for you. Great place to live whether you're in your first year or during your masters like myself. Rooms are a nice size and in a modern style, great communal areas for doing work or socialising with friends. Highly recommended place!

C. D.

It was impressive when I moved in during the first day! It’s a brand new student accommodation and the modern appearance outside looks fantastic! Even the construction work hasn’t finished completely but it doesn’t impact the living experience and enjoyment at all. All the staff in the reception are so kind. They did me a huge favour and make my moving so much easier! Coffee and desserts are provided in the study room, which is a terrific place for quiet reading, study and work. The rooms and kitchen are all well-equipped. There’s a massive space for storing luggage and things in each room. Bathroom is spacious and bright. Everything looks shining. The good location and 24/7 security just make life cosier and more pleasant. Will definitely recommend The West Wing to my friend and all students. It meets all your expectations and will give you an unforgettable living and studying experience. Trust me, you won’t regret for that! Thanks Nell, Ewan, Christian and all the staff for all your great work and effort!

L. C.

I have been living at the west wing since September 2019, and I can honestly say I am very impressed.The building is very clean and modern which has allowed me to feel comfortable living here. The staff including Chris, Nell and the JSM security team, provide excellent service and have been really helpful when faced with any issues. Definitely considering staying here for my second year.

N. T.

My family and I visited The West Wing yesterday in order to view a flat for next academic year. We were shown around by Christian, who kindly took the time to show the flat to my mother and father individually (as we also had to look after our dog, whose presence was well accommodated too)! The flats and kitchen looked really nice - there was a lot of natural light and plenty of space for storage, and everything was of a very decent size. Pastoral care/security/flatmates were also discussed which was very good as the accommodation I was in previously were slightly more lax, and the completed design of the accommodation overall looks very nice - especially the courtyard! Location wise, it's not that far from many shops and therefore very convenient. I'm looking forward to starting in September!

The West Wing is perfect for all international students. It is comfy, the whole staff is really nice and helpful with any problem you can possibly have, and the building is 5 minutes by walk from the city centre. I stayed in Cardiff few months and this place was the best solution for me!

Started living at The West Wing in September 2019. Extremely sad that my time there has been cut short. It truly did feel like a second home. The building was safe, modern and the staff were always welcoming. Special thank you to Christian who I felt kept an eye out for me and was always available to answer any questions. Would definitely recommend!

Of all the student accomidations in cardiff that I've stayed at. The West Wing has turned out to be the best. The rooms are spacious but still cozy and warm. The amneties are verry convieniant. Especailly the gym and study centre which come in handy during 2020 when we can't really go anywhere. The staff and security are also very friendly and helpful. 100% would recommend!

L. R.

I'm very satisfied with the detailed information I received from Christian about the west wing and also he showed me the rooms I requested by a What's app viewing which made it easier for me to decide on my accommodation. He is very helpful and made sure my booking went on smooth. I'm looking forward to join soon. Highly recommended.

I got an opportunity to visit and even spend a couple of nights at The West Wing when I was at Cardiff to settle my daughter for her Masters. Found the place really nice -comfortable, spacious, neat and very well done up. The best part is that the first thing on stepping in you are greeted by very pleasant staff which makes you instantly comfortable about the place. Got an opportunity to interact with Christian and found him exceptionally kind and helpful. Thank you Team West Wing for the wonderful job you are doing...Happy to have made this our choice :)

Wonderful place. The facilities are really good (gym, cinema room and study area) and the studios are quite big. The staff is super nice! Christian and Rob (security) are really helpful. If you are going to stay in Cardiff, this place won't disappoint you =)

C. B.

Perfect student accommodation, never had major problems. The staff are incredible, the gym is spectacular and the atmosphere makes settling into the west wing as easy for anyone!

C.

Spoke to Christian and Nathan, both so friendly and helpful (answering my 1 million questions!!) and helped me pick the right place for my studies this year. Couldn't be more happy with the tour from Christian and the speed and ease of booking it all in. Can't wait for September, thanks again!

I came to The West Wing with a rather difficult situation which the team were extremely sympathetic and understanding about. The atmosphere at The West Wing is very laid back and friendly, it is a zero pressure environment built on honestly and the staff are willing to answer all questions and accommodate to your own personal needs. Every time I have popped into the office I have always been made to feel welcome and have enjoyed many chats with the staff. After dealing with tricky lettings agencies I can almost certainly say there is no going back, the difference in customer service goes without saying. The accommodation itself looks absolutely beautiful, and I can’t wait to call it my home for my final year of Uni. If you go into the office you can take a look inside the fantastic showrooms for both a studio room and a cluster flat, as well as see the floor plans for the entire building and pick your own room out (if you are ready to book) or would like to visualise the layout of the building. I will be living in a standard plus studio room next year, and I feel that compared to other student accommodation the pricing is very reasonable for my own needs and the types of services included at The West Wing (such as an on site gym). The accommodation is close to town and Cardiff Uni on foot whilst also being in a relatively quiet area away from the busyness of the city centre. Over all, I can’t recommend The West Wing enough - the staff are absolutely lovely and I already feel like a part of the family. I very much look forward to living there in September and can’t wait to show my family and friends around!

Best living space I've been in since I've come to the UK. The room is large, and newly built so everyhing is very clean and works well. The facilities like the included exercise room is also very nice. The staff are also very friendly and helpful.

M. M.

Bit pricey for the rooms, but great facilities there, with security on site, secure entry system , well laid out kitchens with appliances, free wifi , quite areas for students, a main reception area, games area with pool table, laundry room on site, my son absolutely loves it there,within walking distance to all universities, main city centre with bars clubs and restaurants, and all public transport such as train and bus. Can relax knowing your son/daughter will be well looked after, and will have a fantastic experience while in university.

M. R.

I’m Loving my room here in The west Wing! Facilities are amazing, there is a gym on site, a room with comfy chairs and a huge tv this is opposite the laundry which is really cool because you can hang out in there while your laundry is going. There are a few other cool communal spaces too, to play pool or study. All of the staff are so friendly, always say hello and all have a good sense of humour. It’s so cosy, This is definitely my home away from home. I have recommended to some friends already and will definitely keep recommending!!

D. S.

The West-Wing is a very modern and comfortable housing (mainly for students) in Cardiff. Even it is not the cheapest option, I dont regret my stay in the West-Wing. The Staff is really friendly (especially Chris and Terry) and the rooms are new, modern und tidy. The Security are amazing and really friendly, they're always cracking jokes! Pretty good !

h. k.

They have let me move 1 day early which literally saved me from moving twice while carrying tons of stuff. Staff is amazing, many thanks to Christian, Nathan, Catrin, security guy and whoever I met. Silent environment, ideal for post-graduates as well. 5 mins walk to CU engineering and 10 mins walk to city centre.

S. E.

I'm staying here for a second year and could honestly not ask for a better place to stay. Friendly staff, great rooms along with a range of on site facilities such as the wash room and gym! - Would definitely recommend.

C. G.

Great location close to city centre, good facilities and nice big rooms in a modern building, with friendly staff always happy to help. Would definitely recommend staying here.

H. W.

Uni place sorted very last minute (thanks to the grades fiasco!) grr. The next step was to sort out accommodation. Thinking we would end up with the dregs of the pot, we couldn't have been more wrong. I called up and spoke to Christian, who was so helpful and encouraging. He gave my son and I a virtual tour on WhatsApp Video and we were so impressed with the hall. Christian was really keen to make sure he matched my son with the right cluster of other students. He managed me (neurotic mother) brilliantly and put my son and I at ease. So pleased to have a place at The West Wing and happy to know that Christian will be there to keep an eye on my son!

I got to live here for almost 3 months... it’s one of the newest student buildings in the city! It has a lot of the new building feels. whether your from wales, especially if your not, it accommodates everything you’d need to kee yourself going. The staff are fantastic and so amazing to get to know! Lock yourself out of your room for the 3rd time today? No worries, they’re always willing to help with a smiling face a great conversation! They have little events for the whole building to come and hang out and get to know those around you, and they are so so much fun, even if your not the type to be with big groups I would say at least go to one! There are so many diverse people groups living there that your deffinately going to find someone you would like to talk too. They are currently doing a little construction around the building, finishing and adding things to make the stay even better. So if you come expect there to be even better, new things for you to see!

M. E.

Booked a studio for September 2021 and the help so far has been amazing, in terms of matching your preferences and answering any questions at all. Really looking forward to moving in!

A. K.

This is such an amazing student accommodation...it has everything you could need...it's a clean and airy space for students to study, socialise and grow independent...its run and well looked after by really friendly staff...a lovely guy (Christian Morgan), showed us around and explained everything...it has also got very good security so you know your kids are safe...loved it

O. L.

I've had a great experience here this year. The staff are very friendly, the accommodation is well suited for a university student and especially for an engineer since the engineering building is so close.

I. M.

Comfortable accommodation with plenty of services like gym and laundry. Only downside applies to the flats facing into the open court, where it can get very noisy at night with packs of students socializing there.

P.

While looking for places to stay at during my postgraduate study in Cardiff I came across The West Wing. With me not living near Cardiff a viewing in person wasn't possible, but Christian was very helpful and managed to plan a viewing via Whatsapp for the same day! Even with the hot temperatues Christian took his time and showed me all the important spots, showed me the room and gave me a lot of information about the building and the surroundings of it. We didn't talk about just the building and the rooms but also about other things like sports, this showed me that the accommodation team is very social. I can definately say that Christian convinced me about The West Wing and I'm looking forward to being there for the coming school year!

r. f.

Great room's, amazing staff and a reception for parcel's so you can still get Amazon deliveries when your not in! Great place to live.

E. E.

Very friendly staff, clean and comfy common areas. The rooms are good size and modern & suitable furtniture. Very happy with my stay here.

S.

Very nice and modern student accommodation. The rooms are bigger than the average student room. Has a gym, cinema room, dining area, courtyard, parking, study space, lots of washing machines and many more. The kitchen has a dish washer, TV, lots of storage and refrigerator storage and its massive. The accommodation has little events running sometimes e.g open mic night, they order alot of pizza, Chinese new year celebration and many more. Has onsite security and CCTV. Would 100% recommend!!

H. A.

Its one of the best places that you will stay in , nice staff and friendly, nice rooms with large common area that make you meet new friends

S. B.

Pros - Its wow ! The campus was better then I had imagined , hahah 😄 Plenty of storage to keep things organised ! It has high security too ... without the fob card you can’t even access any of the doors and that’s the best ❤️ Secondly staff is helpful too ! Cons - But the only thing which I didn’t like was the cost of laundry it’s £5 per wash . It’s bit costly 😅

K.

I was looking for a new student accommodation in September for my masters in Cardiff. I called The West Wing to arrange a viewing which was a virtual viewing due to Covid-19. Christian took so much time to show me everything, explained everything and answered my questions afterwards. Since I had a problem storing my belongings from this academic year he helped me find a solution. I am really happy I chose to live at The West Wing the upcoming year and looking forward to moving in. Biggest recommendation :-)

S. R.

Visited the show flat at The West Wing -fantastic quality student accommodation. Furnishing and decoration to a high standard and great communal facilities planned. Options to live in a shared flat or a private studio. Would highly recommend it to anyone moving to Cardiff for university!

S.

Affordable prices in the heart of the city. Lovely staff. Large open spaces with pool table,foosball table,cinema room,gym and study area. Very ideal for Engineering and Computer Science students of Cardiff University since it is just 3min walk.

J. M.

It’s been a month staying at The West Wing. They have the best of facilities, from Gym to High Speed Internet and beautiful communal spaces. And I am really enjoying staying here.

N. B.

The whole process was seamless from start to finish, special thanks to Christian and Nell for answering all our questions. I can't recommend The West Wing highly enough, knowing that all members of staff are there to help the students settle in is a huge relief (they genuinely care, it's more than just a job!). Thank you all.

E. T.

Great student accommodation with ideal location close to the city centre as well as the university. The staff are friendly and always there to help as well as there being a great security service.

b. h.

Had a virtual viewing with Christian this morning! He was really helpful and informative! Wonderful service, definitely considering for my accom next year!

G. K.

The west wing is an amazing choice for student accommodation, the atmosphere is so good and the staff here are so professional and polite aswell as the evening security staff. Very happy!!

Amazing, easy and simple booking experience with Christian who was extremely understanding and helpful. Very accommodating to any problems you may be facing and the rooms are beautiful clean and spacious.

I love living in the West Wing, it's definitely the nicest place I've lived in the 4 years I've been in Cardiff. The staff are really friendly and there's a really nice atmosphere!

A. A.

Very nice and brand new place to live as a student in Cardiff. Located near the city centre and the University as well.

A. F.

We were really impressed by our tour of The West Wing with Christian who was so helpful and friendly. Lydia has signed up and is looking forward to living there in January.

A. A.

A very beautiful building with great facilities and the staff are incredibly welcoming and engaging especially Kristen. I recommend 100%

M. R. G.

I hardly recommend this residence. The personnel is very kind and they are always ready to help you. The residence is perfectly located close to the city centre and to many supermarkets, restaurants, and shops. Inside the residence there are several common areas for watching tv or have fitness. I couldn’t choose a residence better than this.

E. Z.

live here currently and I must say this is literally the nicest place I've ever lived. It’s very safe and staffs are amazing

T. W.

Lovely quiet accommodation very close to the center of the city which makes it very easy going and especially good for the engineering students at the uni as the building is a stones throw away.

f. w.

Lovely place, the location is spot on. Shoutout to Christian, he's nice and easy to get along with, would recommend them without reservation.

P. B.

Very clean and peaceful,friendly staff and flat mates,rooms are absolutely spacious and good view.

J. R.

Moved in here a month ago. Totally recommended, quality staff with attention 24h. Room is very well equipped with new technology. Very recommended.

W. L.

Great accommodation with every facility you could ask for. The friendly staff and security are what make the accommodation a place to be comfortable in! Would definitely recommend!

A. A. K.

I highly recommend the west wing accommodation, it is a modern and safe place for students. The receptionists and securities are friendly. 🤍

m. e.

My tenancy has recently ended and I can honestly say its been the best experience despite the circumstances. From the day I arrived all the staff made me feel welcomed and safe, even steering me in the direction for friendships that I still have today. The rooms are modern, bright and very reasonably priced ( much better value then the university accommodation as free access to gym, cinema room, study room ect...) Excellent location not even 10 minute walk from centre and one thing that i have loved the most is meeting international student and creating friends that i wouldn't of had the opportunity to meet if i hadn't of stayed here.
