The rooms and prices
Calcott Ten gives students a genuine choice between two living styles. Private studios come with your own kitchen and en-suite bathroom, ideal for students who want full independence, while en-suite rooms in a shared flat offer a private bathroom with a shared kitchen and living space, better for a social setup on a lower budget. Both room types are furnished to a cosy, comfortable standard designed around student needs. Capitol Students runs direct-booking cashback offers for the 2026/27 academic year (check the current code and terms), and as with all Capitol Students properties, dual occupancy is available on eligible room types, so couples can live together at no extra charge. Prices vary by room type and season, so confirm current rates at booking.
Location and getting around
Calcott Ten’s Far Gosford Street address puts you within a 10-minute walk of everything central Coventry has to offer: Coventry Cathedral, the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, and the main shopping district are all close by. For transport, Pool Meadow bus station (serving local buses and national coaches) is a 10-minute walk, Coventry train station is about 20 minutes on foot, and Birmingham Airport is roughly 20 minutes away by car. This makes Calcott Ten well connected for both city life and travel further afield. My tip: the 10-minute walk to the city centre and Pool Meadow bus station makes Calcott Ten a genuinely convenient base without needing a car.
Amenities
Calcott Ten offers a solid set of shared facilities to complement the private rooms:
- Games area with a pool table and table football
- On-site management team
- Secure entry and CCTV
- On-site laundry
- Bike storage
- Dual occupancy available on eligible rooms for couples
- Recycling facilities as part of Capitol Students’ sustainability commitment
The honest picture
Calcott Ten’s strengths are its genuinely central Far Gosford Street location, the choice between studios and shared en-suites, and being run by a Global Student Living Platinum Certified operator, a recognised quality mark in the sector. The honest counterpoints: as with any city-centre building, the busiest social spaces (the games area) mean it suits students who enjoy some shared activity, and studios carry a premium over the shared en-suite option, so budget-conscious students should compare both room types carefully. As always, confirm your specific room and its exact price before booking.
Who Calcott Ten suits:
Strong fit: Coventry University students who want a central, 10-minute walk to campus and the city; students who want to choose between a private studio or a social en-suite flat; couples wanting dual occupancy; those who value a recognised, accredited operator.
Weaker fit: students who want to be right on the University of Warwick campus (further out); budget students who would pay less for a room further from the centre.
