The Cube – Greenwich

The Cube Greenwich has become my second home for the last 6 months. I have been having an amazing experience, the room is very comfy and spacious. Important to note, the Cube staff is extremely friendly. I really enjoy my stay and would definitely recommend you to become a part of out Cube Greenwich family!

Don't book this place.... it's the worst place ever! Everything is broken (kitchen, fridge, bed, cupboard..).At the beginning of the year, everyone had to change rooms and move again because most of the rooms are broken. It was a mess. The rooms were so dirty. There was mold in the fridge it was sticky, and I could find hair everywhere. When I called someone to help me, they said it is my problem. There are fire alarms all the time and also water failures. Days without water. Since the reception is only open for a short time, no one can help. Moreover, it's really noisy. This building is trouble.

From the day I moved in here I had problems. My splashback in the kitchen was broken and so was the light in my bathroom. I was told it would be fixed the following week - why was it not fixed before I moved in? This was before the company had changed hands - however, since they have nothing has still been done coming up to almost one year later! I have never had anything fixed (despite multiple visits from maintenance who specifically told me that it is not that important and that they can’t be bothered to fix it!) There is hardly ever anybody at the reception. Hours are supposedly 10am - 3pm, but I often go down during those hours and more often than not, nobody is there or they come late and leave early. There is nobody to call for emergency maintenance, security, or entry issues either during out of hours. Also, doors downstairs (apart from main door) are always kept open and unlocked so it would be very easy for people to gain access, please lock your door! If you are considering living here this year, there is mass works going on directly behind the property (as they are adding another block to this property) so you will be hearing huge and disruptive amounts of noise all year that you can’t cancel out by shutting the windows. Furthermore, there has been multiple occasions of days with shortages of water and full days without WiFi. Not really what you should expect when you are paying such an astronomical price for a tiny, cheaply made and furnished room. This has always been when reception is empty - so no help there, they bother to fix it when they want to. Staff are often unhelpful yet they are rarely even here so there is not much they can do! The communal gym is seething with mould, which to this day still isn’t fixed (only painted over) so don’t use it unless you want to get ill. Plus fire alarms go off constantly as they are either faulty or the tiniest bit of smoke from the kitchen sets them off - we are told to pay £500 if we accidentally set them off! However, despite all of these issues they are still increasing prices, and you also won’t be able to get your deposit back if you put one down for this year I was told! I can’t stress enough - don’t live here unless you want loads of problems that will never be fixed, and staff that do not care to help you with problems that they are ultimately responsible for!

Fantastic ambience , value for money features and student friendly services .
