experince

the room needed maintanence every 2 - 3 months. had to wait about 2 months for my window to be fixed (was not closing, happened during winter). rediator makes noises and rarely heats up. lamp was making noises and fell twice. lift in the bilding barely worked during my 43 week stay. people were coming in and out all the time. saying all this, regardless of the wait everything was fixed eventually. the staff is very polite, nice and always ready to help. all things listed above are minour problems. the price for the experience was decent however was expecting a bit more. if those problems are fixed id be more than happy to rend there again.

We’d like to investigate this further to understand what went wrong and how we can improve. If you're happy to contact us directly with your room number, we’ll look into the issue in detail and follow up with you.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope we can resolve it for you.

Generally quite awful

Generally quite awful — heating was almost never functional, windows did not shut properly, bathroom flooded over into my room & took them 4+ days to fix. None of these issues were fixed promptly despite consistent complaints, and the heating/water issue remained a consistent problem throughout my time there. Not great!

Hi Anon,

Thanks for sharing your experience-we’re sorry to hear it didn’t meet expectations.
We’ve looked into our records and couldn’t find any maintenance requests logged, which makes it hard to understand what went wrong. That said, we know leaks can take a few days to fully resolve, especially over weekends, and we’re always working to minimise disruption. Heating and water outages are rare, and when they do happen, they’re usually resolved within a few hours. We’re sorry if this wasn’t your experience and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Your feedback helps us improve, and we’d love to chat further if you’re open to it.

Poor student accommodation experience

The lift has been broken for almost a month and the front desk does not care. I have responded to the front desk many times over the course of May and June, but the only response I have received from the front desk each time is to tell me that they will be inspecting it recently and will be dealing with the problem of the lift not working. The result is that after a month of waiting the lift is still broken. I live in the 6th floor is very inconvenient, return luggage from the sixth floor to move down the stairs only. When I enquired if the receptionist could help me move on the last two floors, the receptionist laughed and sat on a sofa in the common area chatting and listening to a song with two Indian schoolgirls and laughing. I asked repeatedly and was told "he is not allowed to leave the front desk area". Saying this while acting very impatient was very disrespectful to me. This is considered discriminatory and ignoring the needs of the students staying there, isn't it? I would like to ask why the receptionist himself said that you are not allowed to leave the reception area but he himself was sitting in the common area still chatting and listening to songs with other people? Is this a contradiction in terms? When I leave my key in my room, the receptionist does leave the receptionist's position to lock the door and then help me along to my room to unlock it and check my ID, but why can't they help me along to carry my luggage downstairs when it's on the first floor? Isn't that contradictory as well? Also I learnt about a cashback before I booked the room. I never received the cashback when I moved in last year, I asked the receptionist and sent emails without a reply and in a perfunctory manner. I am now at the end of my tenancy and still have not received any news of the cashback or any emails about it. I went to the booking agent and asked them to negotiate with the flat. The agent sent an email to the flat instead of me, but the flat didn't send me any emails or information at all. Is this how inefficiently the flat handles things? It's been three months since the beginning and there has been no progress at all.Is this how they treat students?I have been paying my rent on time, but why does the receptionist say that I am in arrears?The receptionist has knocked on my door twice to ask me questions and has a bad attitude.I sent all the proof that I paid my rent on time more than three times but all I got was a knock on the door again and again.It took me a long time to find an agent and find out that it was an error on the part of the flat.Why was I treated so badly because of this mistake?Why was I treated badly because of a mistake in the apartment and not once was I apologised?Afterwards when I needed help with anything at the front desk or in the flat the flat staff who had treated me so badly were very impatient and did not want to be bothered with the situation.I have never stayed in a flat with such a bad attitude and inefficiency, I would not recommend it to my friends and I will not stay in this flat again.

Hi,

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience at The Lyra. It’s clear that you’ve faced multiple frustrations-from the broken lift and lack of support to issues with rent, cashback, and staff behaviour. This is not the experience we want any resident to have.
We take your concerns seriously and are reviewing what went wrong to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and care, and we’re sorry that you didn’t feel supported during your stay.
If you're open to it, we’d love the chance to speak with you directly and make things right.

An overall good experience despite the maintenance work noise

The building was modern and very well-equipped! The staff was really attentive to our needs and always ready to help.
The only major thing that bothered me was the amount of maintenance work done throughout the year, especially from September to December 2024: I would always be woken up by drilling sounds at around 8 during weekdays.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’re working on ways to better manage future maintenance to minimise the impact on residents.

Bad experience

I stayed at this apartment during two different periods. The first was from July 14 to August 24, 2024, while attending a language course. Because the front desk staff were kind and helpful, I decided to extend my stay until now. However, the new room I was assigned to had constant engine-like noise, which seriously disrupted my studies and daily life.

Despite raising the issue with the male manager at reception, no solution was offered. He escalated it to upper management, but their response was shockingly unreasonable. Even though there were other available rooms at the time, they refused to relocate me—unless I paid for both rooms. The attitude was dismissive and unprofessional.

While many rooms in this building are decent, mine clearly had a problem that management chose to ignore. This shows a complete lack of responsibility and care for tenants. My two-star rating is solely for the front desk staff, who were always friendly and supportive.

As for the management and overall living experience—deeply disappointing. It was a terrible start to my stay in the UK, and I would absolutely not recommend this place to any future students. I’m also a blogger, and while I haven’t posted publicly about this yet, that does not mean I’ve let it go.
