Really nice place. Utilities are all covered which is great. The maid system is really good aswell. Gym basic but gets the job done and it's free Sauna is good also free. Laundry ain't great as I find the machines a tad awkward to use sometimes. And this isn't free but a wash will probably run around £5 Pretty pricey rent but I guess that is London. Plus with the above its pretty decent price if you have a good job. I would suggest to get the very best experience out of living here is to be an extrovert. The people here put on loads of great events, maybe I'm just too old to enjoy them. Transport link wise no problems at all two stations within 10 mins walk

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the lack of cooperation we have experienced with your company. Despite multiple requests, we have been unable to obtain the necessary fiscal information required for payment processing. This lack of transparency has hindered our ability to finalize arrangements with your company, and make us loosing a lot of time. I highly recommend these instead Gravity & Stay have been far more cooperative, efficient & professional.

Too many issues that will cause you stress. Communication here is almost impossible. I regret my choice in renewing however they have very nice reception staff. Kiri is always smiling and making me feel welcome. 👍🏻

Moved in almost a month ago and was uncertain until we saw the apartment. Although it's small, there's plenty of space in the communal areas for work and relaxation. Abdo Dada was helpful in securing our accommodation. ➕: Everything is taken care of, including additional costs, council tax, and wifi. There are plenty of opportunities to meet new people and participate in events. The sauna is my favorite spot. The in-building supermarket is a convenient emergency resource. The location has good public transport access. ➖: Common areas can be dirty or cold. The heating doesn't work, and there are frequent issues with the laundromats and hot water.

I have lived here now for 6 months. And now about to upgrade my room and extend for another 6 months. It’s been great. Most of the staff are very friendly. The facilities are alright, some stuff could be looked after better like the games room, the cinema and the gym but that’s mostly down to the residents living here. The laundry room washing machines and dryers need updating as half of them don’t work or are always out of order. There has been issues with hot water every now and then but the collective have been promptly onto the issue every-time or almost issues that are raised in the building are addressed very quickly. They have just updated areas of the collective which is nice like adding in a post room with a code to get in and the post in your correct place for easy collection. There is also something like an event/ activity they put on most days where u can get free food or drink as well as meet others residents and learn about different culture days etc. Update: just renewed and upgraded my room. Got a good price for this as well as the move was smooth to switch from one room to another room. Within the last couple of months there has been some new reception staff and they are great. They are very happy to help, always smiling and everything seems to move a lot smoother. Especially one called Kiri, lovely guy always saying hi if he sees me and asking how my day has been, even remembers the personal stuff and questions like asking how my ankle has been which I torn not long ago, which is a surprise he remembers with the amount of people they see a day. He is always very helpful when I see him as has sorted any issue I have had very quickly like the wrong code on the parcel room and sorting out my mail boxes as well as remembering about questions or queries I may have. I’m very glad he is on the team. And I always make sure to say hi or if I have any problems that I go to him!

Only come here if you want to waste money. Rent is far above average for a tiny, poorly designed room in a building full of faults. They also ignored all emails pertaining to my deposit which I eventually got back well past when I should have (and I'm not the only one; check other reviews). The only positive is the day time reception staff and some of the residents. Avoid. You can get better for cheaper elsewhere Changing to two stars because they returned my deposit

Easy application with Abdo Dada and check-in process with Patrycja. The reception team is always available if there are issues. The cleaners are actual sweethearts. The neighbours in the building are lovely. Commuting to essential locations are good. Various activities to do each week. Good place to stay short term and long term for working professionals and mature students. Room benefits: Water pressure are good, no hot water issues, wifi stable throughout the day and night, room lighting is good, window ventilation is good. Facilities: Quiet workspaces, open workspaces gym, spa and sauna.

I really have to warn everyone from moving to The Collective Old Oak. I have been living here for 3 years and they have only increased the rent every single year. They don't care you choose to renew and have been a member for long. They will raise the price every single time you want to renew. It is very uncomfortable to live in a place like that. On top of that, I have moved out 2 months and a half ago and they STILL have not returned my deposit back. I have sent 20 emails already. They still have not done it. I am not even sure if they will at all. This is just unacceptable. The reception staff is so not useful either. I do not think this place is worth the stay. They brought too many issues.
