The Garden Halls

"I have lived here from Sep 2021-June 2022 for my masters course in UCL. Overall the accommodation was good, the staff were very nice and parcels arrived on time. The other 1 star reviews are possibly due to bad individuals. The staff in fact do not scold you at all. I lived in self-catered accommodation and had an option to eat at garden halls if you pay for it it was very cheap too. Just to make sure you mention your allergies."

"I stayed here for a week and had breakfast and dinner every day. included the photos the canteen is cleaned but the only thing is that the water fountain was broken so that’s a bit annoying other than that there’s for elevators or more in the building so it is really easy to go"

"I lived at Garden Halls for the first year of my undergraduate degree. The rooms are quite modern and well-equipped, the bed size is decent and the furnishings are good. The ammenities were nice, the locker system for mail is great and parcel collection was relatively speedy after the initial weeks. The location is a big plus, very close to Russel Square and King's Cross, and the Brunswick Centre just next door has everything from a Waitrose, Sainsbury, Starbucks, Asian Supermarket, Restaurants and a Tesco, Pret and Costa just down the road. Had a great experience with the staff at reception who were always prompt and helpful, especially Serge and Philip, great guys. The security is really good too, especially at night-time. The downsides are, the food, breakfast is tolerable but dinner was always terrible. Out of the 9 months I lived here, dinner was agreeable was on barely 5-6 occasions. Also, if you do chose ensuite catered, the kitchens are practically useless, with only a microwave and a fridge. Very pleasant overall and would highly recommend. It's definitely worth the price."

"I like the people I met there…. Well some of them at least. Actually, I only liked a few. The food. I have military service and I actually enjoyed army food more than their food. Make of that what you will. Room was nice and clean, plus the garden outside was cute."

"Overpriced rooms, but what can you expect from London I guess? Nice, tidy rooms, cleaner came in once a week to clean the kitchen and the staff was super friendly and helpful. They always set up activities for students. I had a nice time here."
