Start your best year together
I rebooked over the course of three years because I met so many people at Magenta House and it’s probably the most sociable place for a student in terms of accommodation.

Magenta House
It absolutely felt like a second home to me - the staff are interested in your experience and how you are doing. I would recommend iQ Hoxton.

There’s a really good mix of people and it’s great to spend time with people from all sorts of different backgrounds.

Magenta House
The staff at reception gave me a warm welcome and made a list of Oriental and British supermarkets for me. They are very enthusiastic and always smiling.

Security is amazing in iQ Hoxton. They are very helpful, as are the managers. If I have any problems I can just come to them.
