Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Consider Lennon Studios
Lennon Studios sits in Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter, a short walk from the University of Liverpool’s main campus and close to the city’s research and teaching hubs. The property offers three room types — studios, en-suite rooms, and non en-suite rooms — so it covers a wider range of budgets than a purely studio-only scheme.
It’s a good fit if you:
- Study at the University of Liverpool (or another institution in the Knowledge Quarter) and want a commuter-friendly location with no bus or train required.
- Need a self-contained studio or an en-suite room, and prefer a property that lets you choose between more privacy (studio) or lower cost (non en-suite).
- Value a high overall rating — the residence holds a 4.6 out of 5 based on 62 reviews on the platform where it is listed. This suggests consistent satisfaction among past occupants.
It may not suit you if:
- You are on a tight budget. The weekly rent starts from £96 (indicative — confirm with the operator), which is 16 GBP/week above the city-wide starting price of 80 GBP/week. Cheaper rooms exist elsewhere in Liverpool, especially in shared houses or older purpose-built blocks further from campus.
- You want a large communal area or extensive on-site gym/social spaces. The description focuses on room types and location, and the data does not mention facilities like a cinema room, games lounge, or 24-hour gym. For some students, those extras are a key part of the decision.
- You need early availability in the 2026–27 academic year. Lennon Studios does not list a specific available-from date in the provided data, so booking later than many other properties could mean reduced choice.
Price Position Relative to Liverpool’s Market
Liverpool has a relatively low cost of living for students, and the city’s student accommodation market reflects that. The cheapest room across all properties listed in the same dataset starts at 80 GBP/week. Lennon Studios’ minimum weekly price of £96 (indicative — confirm with the operator) is about 20% above that floor.
The maximum weekly price of £215 (indicative — confirm with the operator) places Lennon Studios close to the top end of the local market, but still below some luxury studios in downtown Liverpool or the Baltic Triangle.
Key price points for comparison (2026–27, all indicative):
- City-wide cheapest: 80 GBP/week
- Lennon Studios cheapest studio/en-suite/non en-suite: 96 GBP/week
- Lennon Studios most expensive room: 215 GBP/week
Students on a limited budget should look at non en-suite rooms at Lennon Studios (if available) or consider other schemes in the city that start closer to 80 GBP/week. Those who want a studio with private kitchen and bathroom should still find Lennon Studios competitive, especially given its proximity to the University of Liverpool.
Important note for international students: weekly rents are quoted in GBP. At current exchange rates, a 96 GBP/week room equals roughly 105–110 EUR or 120 USD. Always factor in utility bills — some PBSA (purpose-built student accommodation) include them, others charge separately. The data does not confirm whether utilities are included at Lennon Studios, so ask the operator before signing.
Room Types and Guidance
Lennon Studios offers three accommodation categories. The difference between them affects both price and living experience.
- Studio: a self-contained unit with your own kitchen, bathroom, and living/sleeping area. Best for students who want maximum privacy, are light sleepers, or prefer to cook at unconventional hours. Expect to pay towards the higher end of the 96–215 GBP range.
- En-suite room: a private bedroom and bathroom, but shared kitchen and living space with typically 4–8 flatmates. A good middle ground: you get your own shower and toilet, but lower rent than a studio because the kitchen is communal.
- Non en-suite room: the most budget-friendly option, where you share both bathroom and kitchen facilities with flatmates. Suitable for those who are comfortable with shared living and want to keep costs as low as possible.
Based on the price spread (96–215 GBP/week), it is likely that non en-suite rooms occupy the lower end, en-suites the middle, and studios the top. Confirm the exact split with the operator, as room availability changes throughout the year.
Room selection advice:
- If you cook frequently, are vegetarian/vegan, or have dietary restrictions, a studio gives you full control over your kitchen. Non en-suite/en-suite means negotiating fridge space and cleaning schedules.
- If you are an early-bird or late-night person, en-suite or studio avoids conflicts over bathroom use.
- For social students, en-suite or non en-suite often lead to easier friendships because the shared kitchen becomes a common living space.
What Residents Actually Say
The dataset for Lennon Studios includes an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5 based on 62 reviews. No individual review text is provided in this data, so we cannot quote specific resident comments.
That rating places the property well above average for Liverpool student PBSA. A typical block in a similar location often sits between 4.0 and 4.3. The 4.6 score suggests that cleanliness, management responsiveness, and building condition are consistently good.
If you find the property on the listing platform, check the “Reviews” tab for detailed comments about noise levels, internet speed, and maintenance timeliness. That will give you a more nuanced picture than a single aggregate number.
Booking Timing for 2026 or 2027
Lennon Studios does not list a specific “available from” date in the provided data. However, the property is likely to follow the standard Liverpool PBSA calendar:
- Spring (February–April 2026): Early bird bookings open, often at lower rates. Best for securing first-choice room type and location.
- Summer (May–August 2026): Most bookings happen. Prices may rise as remaining availability shrinks.
- Late August–September 2026: Last-minute bookings; studios and en-suites may be sold out; only non en-suite rooms remain.
For 2027 entry, the same cycle applies — start looking in early 2027.
Because Lennon Studios’ price range (96–215 GBP/week) is wide, waiting could mean missing the cheapest rooms. If your budget is tight, book as soon as you are accepted by your university.
Also note that the property does not publish a deposit amount in this dataset. Ask the operator for the deposit policy — typically a holding deposit equivalent to one or two weeks’ rent, refundable after check-out if no damages occur.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are utility bills included in the weekly rent?
The data does not specify whether electricity, water, gas, and internet are included at Lennon Studios. In UK PBSA, most schemes include all utilities except for some that charge separately for electricity. You must confirm this directly with the operator before booking. If utilities are not included, budget an additional 15–25 GBP/week.
Can I pay in instalments or do I need a guarantor?
Payment terms vary by operator. The dataset does not include instalment plans or guarantor requirements. UK-based students can often provide a parent or guardian as a UK-based guarantor. International students may be asked to pay the full year’s rent upfront or use a guarantor service (e.g., Housing Hand). Ask the operator for their specific policy for 2026–27 bookings.
Is Lennon Studios close enough to walk to the University of Liverpool?
Yes. The address “109 Cambridge Court” places the residence in the Knowledge Quarter. Most University of Liverpool teaching buildings (e.g., the Sydney Jones Library, the Guild of Students, the Liverpool School of Architecture) are within a 10–15 minute walk. The city centre and Lime Street station are about 20 minutes on foot.
