So I have been a resident at Almero student accommodation at beech Gardens. As a student who comes from a foreign country, the one thing you want is to be comfortable and feel settled and not feel out of place, and that’s something that the management at beech Gardens perfectly assures you. I would especially love to thank Laura, who’s the manger there. She has been extremely kind, helpful, and makes sure that you feel secure and comfortable. Being there was the most beautiful and the most comforting experience ever. I really must say that the management is extremely helpful and considerate of every student, their situation, issues and their needs. They make sure that every Student is helped and cared for. Laura, and the rest of the staff is always available and is always ready to help you at any given time and whatever situation you’re going through And I can say that with utmost confidence and certainty. Apart from that, it’s the best staying experience, you can ever have, especially as a Student, You have all kinds of facilities that you require. The rooms are up to the mark, neat, tidy, cozy and spacious at the same time. it’s just perfect! and for whatever time I’ve been there, it really felt like home, and I never felt away from home, so if you are looking for an accommodation and are coming to the UK to study, this is the best Accomodation, truly. I highly highly recommended and suggest anyone, who is new to the UK, especially, to really consider and choose beach Gardens as their Accommodation, for it just feels like your new home.

I stayed at Almero Student Accommodation and had a really positive experience overall. The facilities were modern, clean, and well-maintained, which made it feel like a home away from home. The rooms were spacious and came with all the essentials, and the communal spaces were great for socializing and studying. The staff were friendly and always available to help, which was a huge plus. The location was convenient, close to campus and local amenities, making daily life easy. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that there were occasional maintenance delays and some noise from other residents, which could be distracting at times. However, these were minor issues compared to the overall quality of the accommodation. I would definitely recommend Almero to any student looking for a comfortable and convenient place to live during their studies!

Lived here for two years between 2001-02 and 2003-04. It was fine. Very accessible for the 24 hour Tesco (gone) and XLs nightclub (gone).

Great communal atmosphere! The living space itself was exceptional. My room was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable study and relaxation environment. The furniture and appliances provided were of high quality, ensuring a convenient and enjoyable stay. The communal areas, including the kitchen and common rooms, were always well-maintained and provided a great space to socialize with other residents. definitely worth it!
