Absolute SCAM. Be careful with this, the same day, FEW HOURS BEFORE YOU ARRIVED TO LONDON, the required documents that you MAY NOT HAVE, just for cancel and try to take our your money. Probably the worst experience in my life in London.

I’ve been staying at Axo Islington since September 2024. As an international student, it’s been a very comfortable experience staying here. The location is ideal, with grocery stores and tube/bus stations in close access. The rooms are lovely, with great views. I love the privacy that a person gets when they’re living here, but if you’re a more social person, Axo holds events every now and then in the property so you can interact with other residents! The staff are lovely and helpful, and are not at all intrusive. The in property laundry units have been a lifesaver for me! I would genuinely recommend Axo Islington if you’re looking for a comfortable, easy place in London :)

I wouldn’t even give you half a star — unfortunately the system won’t let me go any lower. This place is absolutely unacceptable. The reception is constantly unmanned for no reason — nobody is ever there when you need them. They don’t reply to emails, they don’t answer phone calls, and it honestly feels like the staff just disappear during working hours. I have no idea what they are even doing. And the room? Disgusting. Everything was sticky and dirty, there were insects everywhere, and it was honestly unbearable. It was so filthy that it made me feel sick. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience I had during my time at your residence. From the very first day, I was impressed by the high standard of facilities and the overall comfort of the accommodation. The rooms were spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed, creating a truly homely environment. The staff members were always friendly, approachable, and ready to assist with any requests, making me feel welcome and supported throughout my stay. The communal areas were excellent and provided the perfect space for both relaxation and socializing. Location-wise, being so close to everything in Islington made it incredibly convenient for both study and leisure activities. I truly appreciated the vibrant, safe, and welcoming atmosphere of the residence and the surrounding neighborhood. Thank you again for providing such a fantastic living experience. I would highly recommend AXO Islington to anyone looking for quality accommodation, and I look forward to staying with you again in the future!

the location is really nice, with proximity to key stores and a 15min bike ride to the centre. The community is not very lively, you rarely see anyone around, with the exception of a shared kitchen, which has its good and bad parts. Not much can be done by the administration about uncleanliness of your neighbours you share it with. Also, the smoke alarm gets triggered on average twice a week, sometimes in the middle of the night, which is however typical of student residences, though still very, very unfortunate. Administrative staff is great, though! Very nice and helpful. Overall, having lived in 4 student residences, this one is alright! Just your usual issues, but generally I've been fine here :)

AXO Islington answers.

Can I book over the phone?

Yes, absolutely! You will receive detailed assistance with property selection and booking. For more information, feel free to get in touch with the Amber agent.

Can I view your rooms?

Yes, of course! You can arrange a time to come for a viewing here. One of their lovely site team members will be able to show you around.

Who is eligible to book with the management?

Any full time student can live with property. If you are unsure as to whether you quality please call them on the relevant reception number to discuss your situation.

If I am doing an internship / placement year, am I allowed to live in the property?

As long as you are still registered as a full time student and your placement is part of your degree/course then yes, you can still live with management during the academic year. Outside of the academic term, some of their properties are able to accommodate non-students and part time students on a short term basis so do get in touch if this is something you require.

Can I make special requests on my application such as living in an all-female flat?

Yes. On their online application you will find a section for additional information. In this section you can state any such special requests. Although they are not able to guarantee every request as it does depend on specific requests, the number of people making requests and the fact that they do not actually allocate rooms until a few weeks before tenancy start they do try their best to make sure as many requests as possible are met. However in the vast majority of cases, they are usually able to successfully accommodate requests such as same gender, postgraduate or undergraduate flats. Its a good idea to contact sites to discuss.

Are the room pictures on the website of the exact room I would receive?

The room pictures on the website are only indicative of the room type and not of the actual room you may be allocated. The reason for this is firstly they have so many rooms across the country, that it is not possible to put an image of every single room. Secondly, they receive many room preference requests from students i.e. female only, postgraduates only etc that they must wait until close to check in to allocate an exact room to make sure they do their best to meet resident requests. However you will of course be allocated the room type you have selected.

Will I get a chance to meet new people and make friends at property?

Yes, definitely! They run an extensive events calendar across all their sites. An aim of this program is to allow residents to meet each other and make new friends.

What is your insurance policy?

By partnering with Endsleigh, the No.1 student insurance provider, they’ve arranged contents insurance for all their students staying with them for free! It is important all students confirm their cover to ensure you understand what is and isn’t covered.

Which bills are included?

All your energy, water and insurance costs are included in the rent making it easier to budget and your student loan can go further! Dont forget to check out whether you will need a TV Licence at https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk as the management do not cover this.

Is there parking provided?

Unfortunately, they are not able to provide parking at their sites. However, there are on street and off streat options available near all of their sites.

What is the number of devices that can be connected to the wifi?

The Wi-Fi network has a limit on the number of different wireless devices that can be registered on the network. The number is devices residents can connect is 3.

What resources and documents will I need during my stay?

Contact the sales agent to know the resources and documents you will need in advance of and during your stay.
