I have lived at Central Quay for more than one year, and it was really a good experience. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Apart from this, the room size was good and comfortable for me. So, I had plenty of storage to keep my things and organize.

I must say, my choice of living at Central Quay was really beneficial because I have access to many good on-site features and room amenities as well. There is a good common space with a pool table, foosball, outdoor tennis, a TV room, a study room, and a gym.

I had opted for a 45-week contract, and by the end of it, I didn’t want to leave. It was the best time of my student life, along with a very friendly and helpful staff. They helped me every time when I needed help and mostly solved my issues within 24/hours.
