Orbital, nottingham

DO NOT BOOK THIS ACCOMMODATION. I genuinely do not know how this accommodation has these many good reviews. This accommodation is an absolute scam. THERE IS A HUGE SILVERFISH PROBLEM HERE. The whole building is infested with them. I lived here for less than a month and moved out so quickly. When I moved in, my shower was not working which took them 3 weeks to fix. One of the refrigerators wasn’t working and didn’t work for a good 2 weeks. The management there is absolutely terrible. There’s supposed to be someone sitting at the front desk until 4 but you won’t ever see someone there past 12. Getting packages is a nightmare because of this. Don’t get scammed into thinking this is a good accommodation because of the price. You’re better off paying a little more for a decent place to live.

Orbital was honestly the best place I've ever lived! I called it home for three incredible years, and if I could, I'd keep rebooking it for three more! The view from my fourth-floor window was like something out of a dream, especially with the city lights twinkling at night. Plus, being so close to the center was super convenient. Sure, I've heard some grumbles about the management lately, but back when I was there, I never had a single issue. They were always quick to fix things and make sure everyone was happy. The community vibe was amazing too. It felt like I was part of a big, friendly family. I miss Orbital every day, and if I could turn back time and be a student again just to live there, I totally would. It's the kind of place that leaves a mark on your heart. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, convenient place to call home!

orbital is the most comfortable student accommodation I have ever lived in Nottingham. It is very secure because there are always front desk staff or security personnel there every day. The washing machine is also very convenient, and this year the washing machine helped me save a lot of money. orbital is ideally located, with six bus lines downstairs. Thank you very much for Ms. Luisa's help, she is always able to respond positively to any question and help me solve all the problems in life. She is a very competent worker.

Warning! - Do not stay here if you are a young female international student. They have a young African security guard here who is meant to keep the building safe and students but there have been several reports of him opening doors to females apartments in the middle of the night, on both occasions the resident was awake and asked what he was doing and his first excuse was dropping a parcel off, this was 4am! Another occasion was another female students room where he opened the door without knocking, again the female student was home and asked what he was doing and he made an excuse that he was checking to see if students had left their keys in the apartment. Other reports are that he is acosting female chinese students in the hallway and trying to engage them in conversation. When the students have been polite spoke with him and then tried to walk away, he is then asking them to continue chatting with him and making them feel uncomfortable. There have been more than one report sent to management about this but they continue to employ him and allow him to enter apartments without consent which is iilegal. AVOID IF YOU ARE A FEMALE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT!!

Absolutely love living here! All staff members are really friendly and any issues are sorted out really quickly. Lounge and Kitchen area is spacious and perfect for social gatherings. The rooms are modern and well equipped. I love it here. Also, the location is perfect for me as it's only a 10 min walk to uni!!
