Vita Student Arvostelua 

Genuinely spending my final year of uni with vita was the best decision and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about staying in vita st albarns! Staff members like Will, Lauren, Angela, and Jessi made living here absolutely memorable!! The weekly events and breakfast makes it worth the money your are spending.

Vita changed my life. I was a timid lad before. But after making so many new friends through the weekly events, I became more confident in my self. Although each accommodation has it shortcomings, vita st.albans is one of the best places for international students. The staff is so supportive

well purposes spaces, friendly staff and welcoming community

I have been living at Vita in Cardiff and it’s been a great year so far. The staff are very kind and the rooms are nice and bright. Perfect location for my university.

Absurd cancellation policy and unjustified, unethical room renewal contracts.

Vita requires full payment on booking regardless of when the booking is made with the only option to cancel being you finding a replacement tenant to supposedly take over the liability.

In addition, despite their policy unequivocally states that full refunds will be provided should the tenants fail to confirm their offers at the university for which the rooms were booked, there have been numerous cases where this has been proven otherwise.

The overall experience with Vita can only be described as ‘doggy’. I would recommend anyone who’s looking for a uni accommodation steer clear of it.

ABSOLUTE RIDICULOUSNESS! Unreasonable, Ridiculous, Unacceptable policy that reeks of pure greed! How on earth can you demand a whopping full payment of ~£13500 for an entire year, even if we had the decency to cancel our accommodation booking a solid 2 months before the semester kicked off? It's downright outrageous!

And don't get me started on the audacity of asking us to hunt down another student to play substitute! As if we're your recruitment agency! Never mind the fact that we were told there'd be a mythical "long waiting list." Well, newsflash – there should be an army of students eager to snatch up a substitute spot for the room!

We are NOT, I repeat, NOT here to bolster your profit margins. The nerve of making the £600 deposit non-refundable at the time of booking is bad enough, but the real kicker is the lack of proper information about this utterly unacceptable and unreasonable policy! We were coerced into shelling out the deposit without a shred of a comprehensive explanation on this blatant rip-off right from the get-go.

Dear fellow students, I implore you – steer clear of this accommodation nightmare. It's nothing short of a trap set by profit-hungry vultures masquerading as a housing provider. You deserve better – don't let these swindlers take advantage of your hard-earned money and well-being.

Nasra is very friendly. She cleaned my house with a careful way. I like this kind of house keeping.

Frankiee is the best host for the events. Best hardworking girl ever

If I could give this accommodation a 0 star I would. I arrived to the room and it was dirty, smelly, and everything was broken. Fridge smelled like rotten eggs for 5 weeks even though it was cleaned multiple times by me and the accommodation and it took a while to change. The ventilation system is faulty and its been like this for 6 weeks now. There is construction and so its very hard to sleep. Not worth the price at all I dont recommend.

One of the worst customer service teams I have ever seen. The issues that have been happening since i've moved here are hilarious. From water outage, faulty washing machines, broken elevator, and a rusty oven. The rent I am being charged for this terrible service is quite concerning.

Rubbish customer service, passive aggressive types they think we do not know. They should all be sacked, specially Molly she is so fake she doesn't know who she is.

Please do not come here, this place is a scam.

Firstly, the sheer unprofessionalism of management is actually funny at this point. When there are issues and we report them, nothing gets done. Things have been broken for months without any progress. The woman at reception could be replaced with a sign.

The most abhorrent thing that has happened, is that a staff member came into my room without permission while I was indecent at midnight, despite me telling him explicitly not to enter. This was traumatising to say the least.

The security is weak as a twig, a homeless man has broken in and slept here. There have been other instances of people breaking in. There have been instances of tenants stealing other tenants' belongings and when it is reported they are not reprimanded.

I do not feel safe nor comfortable staying here.

Around the 5th of October, I made a transfer to rent a room in Barcelona for 5 months starting in February. Because the building isn't finished yet in February, they asked me if I wanted a refund and I said yes. They have sent me multiple emails saying they need some personal information because they have been required to conduct increased monitoring under Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Regulations. They asked me this three times already and I gave them everything they need. I still have not received an update or refund. The two employees that helped me pick out a room are not reachable through Whatsapp anymore. I am very disappointed that grown people use students like this.

I hope people that are planning on going there read these reviews and change their minds.

Terrible customer engagement team: I paid the full rent on 30th June 2022 by using my parent's credit VISA card. And I submitted my first refund form in September. The refund form said the rent could only be refunded to a debit card, the credit card is not supported, so I uploaded my parent's debit card info. After 1 month, which is 30 days, I sent the email and asked for help. It said it was still in progress. And I was thinking, what if I used my local UK bank card, which may be more efficient, and there's no International check? So I re-submitted my refund with the permission of your customer engagement team. After another 1 month, which is another 30 days. I received the email; I was told that the refund could only be returned to the original payment card. I need to upload the original payment record, my mom's ID….. With a large refund (18k pounds) over two months in arrears and I still haven't received it, I don't think this is a reliable student accommodation, especially for international students. Also, you have to make your own appointment to have the opportunity to call their after sales staff and they can amend your telephone appointment themselves, which means they can always postpone your telephone appointment if they don't want to take your call

2 weeks now and room hasn’t been cleaned and accommodation in the hall way is very dusty even lifts it’s disgusting.
Advertise stuff but never deliver
Never emailed cleaning schedule and told there is a delay but I think they should tell us when our rooms will be cleaned instead of saying they will catch up next week.

NO HEAT in my Ultimate Vita ($$$) studio since March 2022. This landlord is violating my tenancy agreement.

Vita Portland Crescent Leeds. Would give ZERO stars if possible. No heating for 2 months ongoing in the most expensive studio.

AVOID!!!!!! Vita Student Sheffield If you want to experience the uninterrupted sound of renovations every day from 7 am to the afternoon, sound of drilling the wall. Please choose to stay here. I lived here for two years, paying the most expensive rent for almost the entire city, and was woken every morning by the 360-degree surround sound of the surrounding construction site. It stopped for a few months and I thought it was over, no, it didn't!!! and it started again recently. I now seriously suspect that I was mentally debilitated by the noise. I've bought almost all noise-cancelling headphones on the market but they couldn't resist the loud noise. The only thing you can do is stay in the library all day, and the room you paid overpriced for will only come back at night. It is what it is. The manager will not have a solution, no room change, no refund, nothing. Let yourself crumble in the room. Also you can't stay in your room when you are on holiday because there is only noise and they will wake you up at 7 everyday. If you pass by here you will be amazed how many construction sites are around.

She's amazing, did my room very diligently. Very much appreciated
