I moved in here September 2019 and I was a bit sceptical after reading so many terrible reviews. Firstly, the show flats are NOTHING like what you get. The cupboards in my kitchen were so small that I couldn’t even fit a standard dinner plate in there, it had to be stacked sideways. In addition, the walls are covered in stains and there’s even huge dents in them too. You’re not equipped with a microwave or kettle, but don’t worry because you get a TV that you need to pay the licence for. In addition, the room itself isn’t great and the bathroom is a disgrace. There was so much rust on my shower head and my bathroom light frequently broke. Maintenance are crap too so don’t even bother asking them. The management will tell you they’re ‘waiting on stock’ for a good month, always blaming it on anyone but him. The gym is pretty crap too, although I didn’t really have high hopes for that. The location is convenient but very unsafe as there’s always crack-heads about; I’ve heard a few stories of possessions being stolen from the ground floor flats too. To top it all off, they’ve acted very unethical in the Covid-19 situation. Despite many students having completely moved out after universities have shut down, they’re still charging us our full rent. I understand that we signed a contract, but nobody could’ve predicted this would happen when signing that contract. In addition, the accommodation has understandably ceased to operate services that we are paying for, such as the gym, shuttle bus and reception team. There has been no deduction in rent. Even the government has advised that accommodation providers act morally correct in all of this, which Canalside and we are homesforstudents has once again failed to do.

Awful place to live. DO NOT LIVE HERE. Rooms are disgusting and dusty. You don’t even get a hoover. The “Guard” who works night shifts is unfriendly and cold. Your parcels will get lost and the staff won’t be able to find it. It is so loud here all the time. YOU WILL NOT FEEL SAFE HERE. The rooms are old and falling to pieces. They will show you a fake room when you come here that will not represent living conditions. HOMELESS take stuff from the bins, there is at least one fight or assault outside each week. DONT LIVE HERE. It is the worst student accommodation in Birmingham. In three words this place is DISGUSTING, UNSAFE and DISGRACEFUL. The staff will barge into your rooms so don’t even think you have any privacy.

Great accommodation! The management team is friendly and very helpful. The accommodation is situated in a great location *** only 15 minutes walk from the CITY CENTER. Worth every penny .. had the best two years staying at Mansion Canalside.
