Overview & Location
Windsor Court is a student accommodation property located at 112–128 London Road, Liverpool. It sits within walking distance of the University of Liverpool campus, making it a convenient base for students attending that institution. The building is described as “luxury student accommodation” in the provider’s own materials, and offers a mix of studio apartments and non-en-suite rooms.
The property’s location on London Road places it near the city centre, within reach of shops, restaurants, and public transport links. Liverpool’s student population is well served by 32 purpose-built student accommodation properties in the city, with entry-level pricing starting from £80 per week for some shared or basic rooms elsewhere. Windsor Court sits at a higher price point, reflecting its “luxury” positioning and the fully furnished nature of its units.
Who Is This Residence Suited For?
Windsor Court is most appropriate for students who prioritise living alone or in a smaller household, and who are willing to pay a premium for a higher standard of finish.
- Solo living or minimal sharing: The property offers studio apartments, which provide a private kitchen and bathroom within the same room. This appeals to students who value privacy and do not want to share facilities with strangers.
- Students at the University of Liverpool: The short distance to campus makes it practical for daily commutes. Walking or cycling is feasible, reducing the need for public transport.
- Those looking for a newer or refurbished feel: While the building’s exact age is not specified in the data, the description emphasises “luxury” and “well-furnished” – terms that suggest modern fixtures and fittings. Students who want a move-in-ready room with decent furniture may find this suitable.
- Residents who can afford a higher weekly rent: With a price range of £189–£223 per week (indicative – confirm with the operator), this is significantly above the city’s lowest available student accommodation price of £80 per week. It is therefore not a budget option.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere?
Although Windsor Court has its advantages, there are groups of students who would be better served by other accommodation in Liverpool.
- Budget-conscious students: The starting price of £189 per week is more than double the city’s cheapest student housing option. If you are on a tight budget, you could find a non-en-suite room in a shared house or a lower-cost PBSA for much less. Even within the same building, the non-en-suite rooms (which share bathrooms) are still priced from £189 per week, which is not cheap in Liverpool’s broader market.
- Students who prefer larger social shared houses: Windsor Court is likely a smaller or medium-sized property. If you want a large communal kitchen and living area with many flatmates, a traditional house in the Smithdown Road or Kensington areas might offer that dynamic at a lower cost.
- Postgraduate students on long-term leases: The data does not show a minimum lease length. If you are a postgraduate needing a 12-month contract, you should confirm directly with the operator. Some purpose-built student accommodation focuses on 44- or 48-week contracts aligned with undergraduate academic years.
- Those who rely on public reviews: The property has an overall Google rating of 3.8 out of 5 based on 18 reviews. While not negative, this is a moderate score. For some students, a rating closer to 4.5 might be a requirement before committing.
What Residents Actually Say
At the time of data preparation, no individual resident review text was available for Windsor Court. The only quantitative feedback is an overall rating of 3.8 out of 5 on Google, based on 18 reviews. This suggests that the average experience has been fairly positive, but not overwhelmingly so. Without verbatim quotes, it is impossible to pinpoint specific praises or complaints.
Potential residents should note that the number of reviews (18) is relatively low, meaning the score may not fully represent the views of all past residents. Reading reviews on independent platforms (not provided here) can give a more rounded picture. In general, a 3.8 rating often indicates that residents find the property comfortable but note minor issues — for example, response times from management, noise levels, or value-for-money concerns. Because this is speculative, you should treat the rating as one data point among many.
Price Positioning vs City Average
Liverpool is one of the more affordable student cities in the United Kingdom. The city-wide from-price for student accommodation is £80 per week (indicative – confirm with the operator). This is likely for a shared room or a basic non-en-suite in an older building.
Windsor Court’s price range of £189–£223 per week places it in the upper tier. To put this in perspective:
- The minimum weekly price at Windsor Court (£189) is 136% higher than the city’s lowest available price.
- The maximum weekly price (£223) is 179% higher than the city floor.
- Even within the building, the non-en-suite rooms start at £189 per week — the same as the cheapest studio? The data shows min price £189, max £223, but the description mentions studios and non-en-suites from £192/week. The small discrepancy likely reflects a recent update. You should confirm exact pricing per room type with the operator.
For a student on a standard maintenance loan in 2026/27, spending around £190–£220 per week on rent alone would consume a large portion of the budget. If you are not receiving additional financial support, you may need to cut costs elsewhere. On the other hand, if you value the convenience of a central location and a private studio, the price is within the range of similar “luxury” accommodations in Liverpool’s city centre.
Room-Type Guidance
Windsor Court offers two broad room types:
- Non-en-suite rooms: These are typically bedrooms in a shared flat. You would have your own bedroom but share bathroom and kitchen facilities with other residents. The data does not specify how many flatmates, so you need to ask. Price: from £189 per week (indicative).
- Studio apartments: Self-contained units with a private kitchen, bathroom, and living/sleeping area. Price: listed from £192/week, but the overall maximum is £223/week. Studios often cost more than non-en-suites.
For most first-year undergraduates who want to meet people, a non-en-suite in a shared flat might be more social. However, the price difference compared to a studio is small (as low as £3/week), so you should compare the facilities and square footage before deciding. If you prefer cooking alone and having your own bathroom, a studio is the obvious choice. If you are comfortable sharing and want lower utility bills (often included in the rent), a non-en-suite could work.
The data does not include room sizes, floor plans, or specific furnishings. You should request a virtual or in-person viewing if possible, and confirm whether bills (electricity, water, internet) are included in the weekly rent.
Booking Timing Considerations
For the 2026/27 academic year, booking cycles typically begin in October 2025 for the following September. However, availability changes frequently.
- Early booking (October–December 2025): You will have the widest selection of rooms and may secure a lower price. Some operators offer early-bird discounts or reduced deposits. However, the data for Windsor Court does not mention any such offers.
- Standard booking (January–May 2026): Most students confirm their accommodation during this period. Room choice may become limited, especially for studios.
- Late booking (June–September 2026): You might still find a room, but likely only what is left. Rents may remain the same or increase if demand is high.
Because the property has only 18 Google reviews (a low volume for a large city), it may be less popular than some competitors. This could mean rooms are available later in the cycle, but it also means you have less information to rely on. Book as early as you feel comfortable, but always confirm the cancellation policy and refund terms in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions

The exact distance depends on which building you need to reach. The property is also reasonably close to Liverpool John Moores University, though the data only explicitly mentions University of Liverpool.
What is the deposit amount?
The available data does not include a deposit figure. You must contact the operator directly to ask. Typically, student accommodation deposits are equivalent to 4–6 weeks’ rent, but this varies. Always request a written confirmation of the deposit amount and the terms for its return.
Are bills included in the weekly rent?

If bills are not included, factor in an extra £20–£30 per week for utilities.
