McMillan Student Village, London

Lived here during my first year in uni of Greenwich and coming back in September for second year. Loved it - great location (10-15 min walk to uni), lots of shops for any budget and taste, from Tesco express to Waitrose. The Sainsbury’s that’s located right next to the gate and is opened until late was a great convenience, especially when craving a late evening snack 🤭 Also a detail that I really enjoyed and took advantage of, but is not talked about - a drinking water fountain! Instead of spending money I always refilled my bottles there. The laundry was one of the only disadvantages - being pretty expensive, the washing machines left some mysterious stains on my clothes and sheets, the driers stopped working mid cycle or broke down all at once. The common room is also a cool aspect of this accoms, I often saw many people hanging out there. There’s a pool table, foosball, a kitchen etc. My room was okay, and I even was lucky to have an unbelievably cool view of Canary Wharf. The kitchen facilities were also okay - my flat had a little problem with the oven glass but the staff fixed it and put a new one. One of the greatest things of the accoms was the reception and the staff - whenever picking up my parcel, checking the postbox or having any question, they were always there for me and I felt really welcomed and cared about. From day one when checking into my room (one of the kind staff men showed me the way to my room) to last checking out day when everyone wished me a good summer and told me they’re gonna be waiting to see me back. Also an incredibly awesome thing - freebies at reception! Toastie Tuesdays, pizza nights, free coffee and energisers, Christmas hot chocolate - days like this made my day and were appreciated a lot. I felt safe and satisfied with the whole experience and am looking forward to coming back in September. P.s. Oh I’ve read some of the reviews here, mostly complaining about fire alarms - I haven’t experienced any. There was maybe one but I wasn’t even present at that time.

Lived here for a year but have had friends live here too, decently priced for the rooms you get, love the accommodation cat. Sadly there is a often maintenance and construction but aside from that it’s good for a student

I stayed at McMillan Student Village during a study period in London through an agency. The location is one of its main strengths: it’s close to the University of Greenwich, well connected by public transport (bus and DLR), and there’s a supermarket right in front of the entrance, which is very convenient for daily life. Inside the building, there is a common room, coin-operated laundry facilities, 24/7 security service, and in some blocks, a shared kitchen is also available. However, cleanliness is not the best. The room itself was okay, but even there, the initial cleanliness and maintenance left much to be desired. When I arrived, the toilet wasn’t flushing properly and it took a while before it started working. The carpet was full of stains... The hallways and some common areas also needed more attention and care. In summary, it’s a residence with an excellent location and useful basic services, but the management of cleanliness and maintenance really needs improvement. With a few changes, the experience could be significantly better. All in all, it was a nice experience, especially thanks to the convenience and the services offered. I recommend the residence to study abroad agencies, hopefully with improvements in cleanliness and maintenance to make the stay even more pleasant. ❤️‍🩹

McMillan's apartment is very good, it feels like home+different events are held every month! The reception staff are very good! Very friendly and patient in answering residents' difficulties
