Who This Residence Suits
Students prioritising proximity to City University – Romano Court is described as a 10-minute walk from City University. This makes it a practical choice for students attending that institution, reducing daily commute time.
Those seeking a central London location – The address at Briset Street places the property in the EC1M postcode, within the Clerkenwell area. This is central London, close to transport links, shops, and restaurants.
Students who want either self-contained or shared living – The property provides two distinct room types: Studios (private kitchen and bathroom) and Non-En-suites (shared facilities). This caters to different preferences and budgets within the same building.
Those who value a high rating from existing residents – A rating of 4.8 out of 5 indicates a strong level of satisfaction among the 118 reviews collected by the data source. While verbatim review text is not available in the data provided, the aggregate score suggests consistent positive feedback.
Who Might Prefer Another Option
Budget-constrained students – The starting price of £240 per week is 85% above the city from-price of £130 per week. Students with a limited budget may find more affordable options elsewhere in London, though likely further from the city centre.
Students requiring an en-suite bathroom – The property lists Studios and Non-En-suites. Non-En-suite rooms typically share bathroom facilities. Studios include a private bathroom and kitchen, but the term “en-suite” is not used in the data. If an en-suite private bedroom (with shared common areas) is preferred, this may not be the best fit.
Those with flexible or short-term needs – No minimum lease term is provided in the data. Students needing a short tenancy (e.g., fewer than 6 months) should confirm whether such options are available.
Students whose university is far from the property – The proximity advantage applies mainly to City University. Students attending other institutions such as Imperial College London, UCL, King’s College London, or LSE may face longer commutes. UCL and LSE are within reasonable distance in central London, but commutes from Clerkenwell to Imperial College (South Kensington) or King’s College (Strand and other campuses) could be 20–30 minutes by public transport.
Resident Feedback
No individual review excerpts were provided in the data for Romano Court. The overall rating from the source is 4.8 based on 118 reviews.

Price Positioning versus City Average
London student accommodation prices vary significantly by location, quality, and room type. The lowest weekly price among the 53 properties listed in this dataset is £130 per week. Romano Court’s starting price of £240 per week is nearly double that. The upper bound of £472 per week positions it at the higher end of the market for central London.
For context:
- City from-price: £130/week
- Romano Court low end: £240/week (inductive — confirm with the operator)
- Romano Court high end: £472/week (indicative — confirm with the operator)
This pricing reflects the property’s central location and the self-contained Studio options at the top end. Students should compare this with other properties in the area, particularly if their budget is below £240 per week.
Room Types and Selection Guidance
Two room types are available:
Studios – Self-contained units with a private kitchen and bathroom. Suitable for students who prefer privacy and do not want to share facilities. These are likely the higher-priced options within the £240–£472 range. Best for those who value independence and have a higher budget.
Non-En-suites – Rooms where bathroom and kitchen facilities are shared with other residents. These are typically more affordable than Studios. Suitable for students who are comfortable with communal living and want to reduce costs within the same building.
When choosing between the two, consider your budget, your tolerance for sharing, and how much time you plan to spend in your room. Studios offer complete privacy but at a premium. Non-En-suites may require coordination with flatmates.
Booking Timing
