The Vantage is really a good place to live. I have lived here for one year, and the living experience is excellent. Firstly, the environment and facilities here are really nice, the room is pretty and the air conditioner is available every day. And the staff here is so so so nice. Ollie and Simon who are part of The Vantage team, they are super friendly and helpful, and they have helped me a lot when I lived here. Whenever I met a maintenance issue, they helped me to sort it out quickly. I am so glad that I chose to live in The vantage.

Excellent customer service! The staff is excellent replying to emails a big shoutout to Olly hazel who smoothly supported all my queries in terms of finding a short term accommodation which is now very hard with this rental crisis! If you are an overseas student moving to Nottingham just like I'd would highly recommend you to live here, is quite diverse as well!

The apartment is spacious and well-maintained, with modern appliances and plenty of storage space. The complex itself is beautifully landscaped and has a great leisure and fitness center, which I use regularly. The location is also fantastic, with easy access to public transportation and a variety of shops and restaurants within walking distance.

This is the only review of The Vantage you'd ever need. I am a student residing here and this is my honest review.Pros:1. The Vantage is situated in a prime location. Very close to the city centre, shopping malls nearby, Starbucks, there's a tram stop nearby that easily gets you to UoN and NTU and really anywhere in Nottingham.2. The management is good! Subu, Clinton, Tash and Emily are super kind and amazing. They're the team managing the property during my stay. I hope you meet them during yours.PS: Make friends with Clinton, he has all the freebies and food!3. The building is so pretty and you never feel alone. There are so many events they organize in the building: games, movies, breakfast, you'd meet so many people and make good friends.4. I especially recommend this place to international student, I am one myself and the diversity here is really good. They also have very flexible payment plans which has been super helpful for me.Cons:1. You live with students, young adults essentially so expect a lot of noise even at night.2. If you don't get a studio, you're going to share kitchen and you just might get some flatmates who don't like to take out the trash like mine, lol. The building has cleaners tho so it is really never that bad. I hope you get good flatmates, if you can move in with your friends, perfect!3. The rooms are quite pricey, but believe me, the price is worth it. You get good value for your money!I hope this was helpful. Cheers!

I am glad I chose The vantage as my accommodation. Though it's a little away from my University it's very close to the city center. Specialty about the accommodation is the wide range of amenities they offer. The sky lounge is exceptional - the sky lounge has games, a TV room and a private dining room. They have study rooms and a lot of common space for you to relax. We can book any of these spaces from the app and host events or do a meeting in the study rooms. Apart from this they organize a lot of events and parties. Breakfast mornings are my fav!

I am the resident of this apartment. Generally speaking, it is quite good. I have lived here for a few months, and I feel that there are a lot of activities. And since it's a new apartment, it did have some imperfections at the beginning, but it's getting better and better recently. It's easy to get to prak campus because of transportation, and because the apartment facilities are new, it's comfortable to live in. Thanks for the football tickets from the apartment. I hope there will be more activities in the future

Staff and building are quality, sky lounge is great as it has pool and game consoles.Good amount of studying space on the ground floor with 2 quiet rooms.Rooms are standard but the kitchens are of very high quality.Also the air con in the room is used everyday.No negatives towards the staff, only reason not 5 star is because the building wasn’t complete in time for my arrival, the kitchen could do with a tv and a sofa (more sociable) and the laundry room either needs to be bigger or machines need to be fixed.
