The Toybox

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Toybox! The staff went out of their way to be friendly, everywhere I looked there was a smile, and Sandy at the front desk has fantastic taste in hats :) The study rooms were both comfortable and quiet, and the gym had everything you could need. 

I've been here for almost 2 years. The facilities are very good especially the gym. Staffs are very kind to residents as well.

The Chinese lady Sandy at the front desk was very enthusiastic. When I came to the apartment on the first day, I saw her smile like a sunflower. Very warm. The young lady is very beautiful and will help us in time when we encounter difficulties. When we sent a message to ask her a question, she also responded quickly to us. It's great. The service of this apartment is really good. There is also tall maintenance worker who are also very enthusiastic. So good!

This is the best student accommodation i know in Birmingham and I enjoy staying here. The reception team are very friendly and helpful. Strongly recommend you to book here!

Very nice student accommodation with friendly reception and peaceful environment. The location is very convenient as well. By the way The staffs provide very thoughtful and well-rounded services! It must be the best choice for international students.
