They force you to make a fake review the same day you arrive. All these reviews are fake.
Jose, the credit controller, banged on my sister's door in the middle of the night and threatened to open the door while screaming that she didn't pay. When she had pay her rent but he "wasn't sure".
Avoid at all cost specially if you are a solo woman.
The bald guy in the reception that looks like dracula is also an awful person.
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.
6 Month 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!
12 Month Update:
I only recently moved out of the collective. The transition to leave the building was very easy using the trolley and lifts to take my stuff down to the truck.
I’ve seen a lot of reviews about receiving the deposit back. I received my deposit back very quickly probably within 1 working week so was super impressed with this.
Thank you to the collective team for my stay. It was the first time living away from family and you made it a really good first experience.
resided in Old Oak from September to November due to an unforeseen circumstance at home.
I'd like to leave a 5-star review specifically for the house cleaning service. The manager of the house cleaning team welcomed me on the first day of moving in and consistently ensured that the cleaning met my satisfaction.
Great co-living space, lot of facilities, good transport links. Maintanence team can be slow but with the reception team, especially Kiri who’s been a great help in settling people in.
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
