Best Bank Apartments Leicester Near Me

C L: Horrific experience from the very beginning until after we moved out. We eperienced all the issues mentioned in other comments, noise, water, wifi, lift not working, also lost two of my parcels worth 200 GBP. The day we moved out was the one of the happiest days.However, this place gives people problems even after they moved out. In particular, when we moved out the Merlin Whraf claimed in an email that it would notify Leicester City Council about my move for council tax purpose. However it did not do that. After a few months I receive letters from my new place from a debt collecting company who threatened that bailiffs would come to collect council tax for Leicester City Council! In the past I notified the local council about my move but because MW said it would do it, it put us in a very difficult position. We had to spend time talking to the debt collecting company who was very cold and communicating with the council all because MW did not do what it promised to do!!

Utku Turgut: Moved in 2 months ago. Great location (5 minutes walking to city centre). Flats and furniture are in very good condition. Building maintained very well. Staff at reception are very very friendly. Certainly a good choice for expats.Downsides:Lack of black curtains makes it very difficult to sleep when there is sunlight.Furnished flats have only main furniture. You have to buy everything for kitchen (glass, fork, pan, etc) and bedding (duvet, pillow, sheets)

Izabela Wawrzusiak: Love living here, no issues!

Jeril Joseph: Nice accommodation very nice staff, especially security

Marco Escaleira: Been living here for the past 7 months now and overall it’s a really great place. The on site staff are always kind, friendly and helpful with any situation. It is well situated just on the corner of the city centre so it has great access everywhere. Temperature control is quiet good and normally I don’t have the need to turn on the heating.Some cons and I why I don’t give 5 stars is because the Wi-Fi is sufficient but you could always get an external source. Also insurance her can be a bit more expensive for some reason. Picky one but because the windows are full height the blinds are not enough to cover the light in the morning.

Estefania Velar: I have called to try and book a viewing of this place and I can easily say this has been the worst costumer service I have received.Firstly, I called and the phone was picked by Tom which immediately had a rude tone but I am not someone to judge how someone’s day might be going so I just decided to go on and asked if it was possible to know more about the flats (I know two undergraduate students that live there). He immediately asked me if I was a student and I said yes, later asked if I was an undergraduate student and I said yes so he said “we don’t rent to undergraduates” and turned off the phone while I tried to ask something else. This was already annoying enough but I decided to call again as I wanted to ask if my boyfriend who is not an undergraduate student could rent it instead as we wanted to move in together. When he picked the call again, he just kept saying that he doesn’t rent to undergraduate students until I had to ask him to please let me speak. As soon as he finally lets me ask the question, he started asking me what does my boyfriend work at and what is his annual income. After, told me to tell my boyfriend to call.How is it possible that I had to insist so much to ask a simple question just because he felt extremely entitled to speak to me anyhow just because I am an undergraduate student. I have never had this type of costumer service and I believe that he wouldn’t have spoken to me this way if this was a face to face costumer service.I would also like to add the fact that when I asked him if there is someone above him who I could speak to he answered just “no”. So I asked if he owns the place or has the highest management role and he said no again. Again, proceeded to tell me I can’t speak with anyone else. What type of service is this? As a student (who also works 20 hours per week on costumer service) I can assure that this was embarrassing.

Frank Lawrence: Amazing place, modern, quiet and clean. Everything is kept in order, quick response to any problems, the gym is well equipped and the reception works super efficiently.

Dylan Watt: very welcoming and secure apartment !

filly mark: Amazing place to live in very clean and organised

Cliff: Very welcoming kind staff!

Mahmoud Mokhtar: Really enjoy living at merlin wharf apartment, staff are helpful and make me feel welcome. Would recommend.

Barbie Alice: Merlin Wharf is a kool pet friendly place to live - located right in the city limits with easy access to transportation, many restaurants and a shopping mall. MW common area, with outdoor gym (there also an indoor) and picnic tables, sits alongside the River Soar, where swans, rowers, and canal boats are a frequent sight. The staff are Amazing - friendly and accommodating, and the lobby lounge is cozy and comfortable

Meshal Al-mutarir: The merlin wharf team are amazing, especially markell, clare and shannon. Love living here.

Agnieszka Koperska: I highly recommend renting at MW under new management. Flats are in high standard, with a great location close to all city centre amenities. Whole staff at MW is very helpful and always there to respond whenever needed. Maintenance is quick and can deal with any issues at your flat. Reception staff is always happy to assist with anything, thanks to Shannon and rest of the amazing crew for making this place look amazing. After they joined MW, reception is looking much cleaner, it’s nicely decorated to every theme, whether it was World Cup, Halloween or Xmas. They’ve organised events to bring the community together. I think it was very wise of higher management to bring the right people here. Overall, I recommend renting at MW

dan doyle: Clare and Shannon make the place a great place to be.

TJ: Clean premises, great staff who are willing to go out of their way to make living here comfortable, and lovely designed flats. I’ve got no complaints

Adesola Yetunde: It's a unique home with excellent staff. It's nice staying in Merlin wharf, so my husband and I decided to give them all five stars.

Dilara Güneş Tunç: Although tomorrow is our moving day, we learned that our application was negative today. Although our guarantor uploaded all kinds of documents, they did not accept because he was not a home owner. However, when I met face to face, they were more positive. We packed our things because we were moving tomorrow, but today we were left in the middle.

Zübeyde Yeşilyurt Tunç: Generally good,just they want to 6 months rent. We paid 6 months rent and then other 6 months we wanted to pay monthly but they didn’t help. I hope next term they will help us…

Piet Mpambie: Today is actually my 1st official year at Merlin Wharf. It's funny because I used to live across the road in Merlin Heights during my academic years at De Montfort, so I sort of watched it getting built.MW is a gorgeous eco-friendly building that serves as both home and work place for my partner & I. The first few months were somewhat uncomfortable with incomplete building processes, but when everything was done the comfort and ease of access were there for the rest of us and the ongoing improvements are a testament to the ongoing efforts to improve comfort.Merlin Wharf has always had a very welcoming atmosphere to all its guests. The staff at the front desk have always been very helpful and tried their utmost to assist with any issues that we have had! I would like to highlight Jay, Rashid, Joe, and all the ladies in the reception who I seem to always greet me when I enter the building or wish me farewell when I leave. It's the little things that count and give Merlin Wharf a sense of home.Merlin Wharf is a private, family-friendly place to stay. You will not find nicer people than the team of Merlin Wharf! They make my stay perfect and will continue to do so for another year!You also get some really nice views if you're on the upper floors.

Melania Matcovici: I have lived at Wullcomb for more than a year and I could have not chosen any better place to live in Leicester. It is a very friendly environment, I really felt like home here. The staff are extremely helpful, everything is maintained at high standards, always clean and spotless.The highlight is the communal area at the 5th floor of the building, it has an amazing view, there are social events organised here, you can also book the area for your private events.

Styli Ioannou: This place is very good for the location. But there is a big problem with flies all year long. In addition, the people working there where not that friendly especially the manager there. the overall experience there very poor. I dont recommend it for students and especially for people that are thinking about spending that much money you can find better places with better money and better people

rayyan sleem: من ناحيه الموقع كانت شقتي مطلة على الشارع فعلا ازعاج السيارات خاصة الاسعاف وعند مغادرتي للشقة استغلال واضح للخليجيين بفرض غرامات على الاثاث وغيرها مع العلم اني سلمت الشقة نظيفه كما هي ولم ادفع لهم وتم رفع الدعوه عن طريق الشركة في العقد للمحكمة والحمدلله تم خصم مبلغ (٣٥) باوند من اصل (١٨٥٠)!!

Bansri Sejpal: The Wullcomb management and concierge team have been beyond incredible throughout my whole 3 year stay. They have gone above and beyond when I've required any help! If I wasn't moving cities, I would have continued to stay with The Wullcomb - definitely the best place I've ever lived in and super grateful to have had this experience. With everything from any issues within my flat, to when I was flat hunting again, to my actual move (which ended up being more chaotic than planned) - they have been amazing and always do their best to help. I can't recommend them enough and will genuinely miss them all and the building. I was going through a hard time during some of my stay at The Wullcomb and they would check in on me to make sure I'm ok, and offer any support which was really truly appreciated. They're all super friendly, calm and really helpful - always nice to come home to them greeting you with a smile and getting to know you! They've created a really chill, friendly and approachable vibe, which has made it easy to become friends with all of them too. Thank you for being so amazing Team Wullcomb :) you shall be very missed!! If you're looking to stay here - do it with no hesitation, it will be the best decision you've made. I can't say enough good things about them.The building itself is gorgeous! Very well designed - any visitors I had would always compliment on how amazing it looks (very Instagram'able haha). The terrace on the 5th floor is amazing especially in summer, and the communal spaces are so nicely done. Every part of the building feels homely, not just the flat you live in. Your packages are collected for you and kept in a safe storage room which is handy, and there is always someone in the office downstairs to go speak to about anything. They put on communal events and clubs/classes (like yoga, running, summer parties) which are great fun and a good way to meet other residents. The decor they do at Christmas time is my fave! There is a cute and friendly cafe attached to the bottom of the building where you can access it from inside The Wullcomb, and you get 10% off for being a Wullcomb resident. The building feels like a world of it's own, and then you step outside a 60 second walk away from Highcross Shopping centre and the restaurants. There is parking if you want it as part of your package and also bike storage (very safe, kept my bike in there the whole time and rarely checked in on it). The flats themselves are really well designed, especially the big kitchens even in the 1 bedroom and studio apartments, which is rare to get. I got a furnished apartment and the furniture was lovely and great quality too, not your cheap/standard Ikea furniture like other rentals! You will love living here, it feels very luxurious and is kept very clean in the communal spaces.The management and concierge team at The Wullcomb have been amazing with swiftly addressing any issues I've raised - they create a safe environment to bring up anything and you know you will be heard and get a friendly response. I had an issue early on in my tenancy with the washing machine, where it wasn't quite obvious what the issue was, but they came to see me and could see it was really bothering me so they promptly replaced it. They definitely put their tenants and their experience first!! They have a maintenance team that comes regularly to the building, who are also really friendly and fix any other issues in the flat that have been logged. As there is 24h concierge in the building, there is always someone to speak to about anything and if they can help at the time they definitely will - my hot water wasn't working late at night one time and the concierge came and sorted it for me then and there. You are in very safe hands at The Wullcomb and will be very well looked aftered! Only downside - if you move somewhere else you will be leaving with very high standards!

Fatimas kefi: If you know what’s good for you, AVOID THIS ACCOMMODATION!!!!!!!!!!Yeah I know, it’s fancy, luxurious and all. BUT THEY CHARGE YOU ALL YOUR DEPOSIT DURING MOVE-OUT. We left the our flat very clean (as we hired a professional cleaner) and although there were a few damages, they weren’t worth what we got charged. Anything they want to replace, they literally charge you for it. Whether it is damaged or not. They did this to me and my friend as well. THEY QUITE FRANKLY EXTORT FROM CLIENTS and that’s the honest TRUTH.If you must, snap each thing when moving in. It will save you a lot when moving out.What they do is terrible and I hope they change.

Charles Turton: The Wullcomb is perfectly located within the city centre. It has great facilities and the apartment we stayed in was perfect for us. Good size, modern, with a great viewing overlooking the city.The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Hana Alorabi: It was a very nice place in terms of services and staff. I lived in it for a year and a month, and after moving from it, I got my full deposit because I cleaned the apartment as I received it. I would like to thank the staff for their services.

Rhys Owen Edwards: Very expensive for what you receive.The Rooms are insanely hot during the summer and there’s a fly problem that persists through the hot months.Bullying tactics by the highly unprofessional management.Despite them claiming they’re “dog friendly”, they allow ONE very small dog. My frenchie was apparently too big. A FRENCHIE!Refused to pay their exorbitant check-out fees. So one of their staff feels it’s acceptable to take pictures of me whenever they see me in town to prove I’m still in the area.Very weird.Would not recommend.

Bristow: The place is good with respect to the location and the facilities offered. Everything was fine until we moved out. They will try to replace things and then charge that money to you. The check out experience was really bad. Better click photographs of each and every item in the apartment when you move in and when you move out. It ll come handy when they charge you for everything at the end of your tenancy. Will not recommend it to anyone.

Rylee Curtis: I don’t think I’ve ever lived somewhere that felt more like home, the staff are always so helpful and welcoming and the flat itself was a perfect place to work remotely or have guests over to enjoy the 5th floor terrace. I am sad to have to leave but happy to have lived there at all! Thank you Wullcomb 😊

devindar kaur: The washing appliances in the flat are completely useless and cheap. My washing machine has broken down 5 times since moving in and flooded my flat multiple times and ruined several of my clothes.

vishal kavia: Excellent accommodation. The staff are helpful and deal with issues promptly. The service for getting parcels is excellent. Would recommend this accommodation for new clients. The price is what you pay for the service.

Yannan Li: Amazing apartment! We have been living here for 8 months now. Staffs are great and impressively organised. They can almost always address us by our first names and apartment number, which we don't expect at all considering the number of residents living here. Overall, it feels like living in a homely hotel complex with 24/7 security. We are proud to be Wullcomb residents.

Dvdand: People should be aware that the Wullcomb has no reliable tv/satellite connection ( despite it being listed as an integral service included in the rent) . I personally have wasted 5 days this year waiting in for engineers who still have no idea where the fault is.I m paying a large monthly fee for the use of a Sky Q box which wont connect for long periods. If you are happy to stream all your viewing via the internet then its no problem . The broadband in fairness works very well. The management of the building have made very little effort to fix the problem , taking no responsibility and leaving tenants to deal with the companies who fitted the equipment and fibres. All they care about is collecting the rent .

Lah: avoid. staff are incompetent, move in day was awful due to them not explaining certain things until arrival. Also the end of tenancy fees they try to charge are ridiculous, would not recommend at all.

Aaron Dupre: The best accommodation for professionals in Leicester city centre. Modern spacious apartments, with stylish communal spaces. The team are fantastic and always happy to help. There are so many benefits from staying at the Wullcomb from the concierge service to free fibre broadband but my personal favourite is the perch "rooftop terrace". It offers something different and is a great spot in the summer months.

Nikhil Shenoy: Lovely student accommodation with retail space for a gym underneath!
