Very modern halls of residence, good first year experience. Would be better if you were able to collect parcels at all times and if the ovens were more powerful

My stay here for my first year was good and local to the city and campus! Overall maintenance of this particular branch of University of Greenwich’s student halls I would rate the best. Room was spacious, wish that they were double beds. The price of the rooms at Daniel Defoe are put on a higher mark then the other accommodations connected to Greenwich, but you get what you pay for and I would say that Daniel Defoe is the better choice between the options for accommodation for uni of Greenwich.

Good size room especially ones with en suite bathroom; new building with a modern design so everything still seems in good condition opposed to other halls; the front desk staff are there 24/7 and very friendly and helpful; great location only 5-10 minute walk from the university and right by the Greenwich DLR station and train station which gets you in to central London in under 20 minutes! Overall very pleasant experience living here.

Decent Halls! Good standard however a little bit pricey, costs £180.25 a week and could definitely find somewhere privately for cheaper

The halls are nice, clean and modern and tidy. The security system is good and I was surprised by how big the rooms were. However, the radiators do not always work and the fire alarm and water tank alarm would go off a lot, which was very disruptive and meant I could not sleep. However, the halls are a small distance from the university, which means that I can reach the university very quickly and there are good social spots around the halls. The Wi-Fi is generally good but the utilities are basic and the washing machines do not always work.

Great location right next to the DLR and about 15 minutes from the university. Clean large rooms with spacious kitchen. Cleaning service every week. Social life is good, flat parties and gatherings weekly. Not really any common area and only 4 washing machines.

Right outside train station, which was a possible but also a negative as we had buskers continuously. So always had to go to the library to do work! Room was lovely and a good size for a student room and it is expensive compared to many uni accommodation, so I need a lot of help from parents and a big overdraft.

Lovely and modern, however there are a few issues with the fire alarm and we had a problem with the floor flooding in our flat. Location is amazing, right next to the DLR so super easy to get everywhere.
