Who is Canvas Arundel House Coventry actually for?

BOOK IT IF YOU ARE...

  • •
    • •Studying at Coventry University. Campus is a four minute walk and several faculty buildings are closer still, which is unmatched anywhere else in the city.
    • •Sociable and new to the city. With 778 residents, a rooftop, a games area and regular events, meeting people takes almost no effort at all.
    • •Wanting facilities included. The on site gym alone saves most students between twenty and thirty pounds a month on a separate membership.
    • •An international first year. All bills, contents insurance, 24 hour staffing and a package room remove most of the practical stress on arrival.
    • •A city centre person. Shops, restaurants, banks, the market and the station all sit within a ten minute walk of the front door.
    • •Booking late. With 778 beds across eight room grades, availability tends to last longer here than in smaller Coventry buildings.

LOOK ELSEWHERE IF YOU...

  • •
    • •Studying mainly at Warwick. Gibbet Hill and Central Campus are a twenty three to twenty five minute bus ride, which adds up across a full week.
    • •Wanting a quiet, small building. A block of 778 residents with an active events calendar will never feel like a calm, private setting.
    • •Bringing a pet. Pets are not permitted anywhere in the building, with no exceptions made for the studio room types.
    • •A smoker. Smoking is prohibited throughout the property, which means stepping outside in every weather for the whole tenancy.
    • •Likely to change rooms. Room moves after the tenancy start carry a non refundable £50 administration fee and depend entirely on availability.
    • •On the tightest budget. En suites from £105 sit above the cheapest Coventry options, so compare carefully if price is your only deciding factor.

What residents actually say

👍 Being four minutes from campus changed my whole routine. I go home between lectures, cook properly and never budget anything for transport.👍 The gym and rooftop are genuinely used, not just marketing photos. I met most of my friends through building events in my first fortnight.👍 Key card access and staff on site around the clock made me feel secure as a woman living alone in a city I did not know.
👎 It is a big building and it feels like one. If you want peace and quiet, the corridors and social spaces can be noisy at weekends.👎 The lifts get very busy at peak times. On some mornings I gave up waiting and used the stairs from a high floor instead.👎 Kitchen cleaning in the shared flats depends entirely on your flatmates, and mine were not tidy. Communal cleaning does not cover your own mess.

The neighborhood, honestly

  • •Safety. The property runs 24 hour security, CCTV throughout and a monitored fire system, and Whitefriars Lane sits inside the well lit, heavily walked university quarter with constant student footfall.
  • •Green space. The Whitefriars gardens and Lady Herbert's Garden are minutes away, and the medieval Charterhouse Heritage Park gives you a proper stretch of grass and river within a twenty minute walk.
  • •Who is around. Overwhelmingly Coventry University students, with a large international population from India, Nigeria, China and Eastern Europe, which shapes local shops and the social calendar.
  • •What is around. Coventry Cathedral, the Herbert Art Gallery, the Transport Museum and Belgrade Theatre all sit within a short walk, giving genuine culture rather than just chain shopping.
  • •Everyday errands. Sainsbury's Local is 0.4km, the main Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencer under 0.7km, and West Orchards and Lower Precinct shopping centres are both under a kilometre.
  • •Transport. Magistrates Court bus stop is 0.38km, Pool Meadow bus station 0.56km and Coventry railway station 0.9km, so national travel is straightforward without a car.

Documents & booking process

Documents you will need

  • •Guarantor and emergency contact details. Both are required at application, with full names, relationship, phone numbers and email addresses.
  • •Resident ID. A valid passport or government issued photo identification, submitted as a clear scan during the application.
  • •Proof of student status. A university enrolment letter, offer letter or CAS confirming your place for the academic year.
  • •Employer contact details. Only where applicable, typically for postgraduate students or those in part time employment.
  • •Bank details. For the payment plan, with bank transfer, direct debit and recurring payment all accepted, plus Stripe and TransferMate where needed.
  • •Signed reservation agreement. Issued after your holding payment, which starts the three day cooling off period.

Which room to pick

  • •Best value. A Silver En Suite from around £105 per week. Private bathroom, shared kitchen and lounge, and the lowest entry point in the building.
  • •Best all round. A Gold En Suite XL, giving you noticeably more floor space and better fittings without the studio price jump.
  • •Careful budget. The Silver En Suite on a promotional plan from around £110 per week, which is the cheapest realistic route in.
  • •Privacy first. A Silver Studio from around £177 per week, with your own kitchenette and bathroom and no shared spaces at all.
  • •Top of the range. The Diamond Studio, the largest and best equipped room grade, worth it only if budget genuinely is not the constraint.
  • •Sharing with a partner. Gold Studios permit double occupancy for a one off additional £50, which is unusually good value for couples.

Payment terms, decoded

  • •Total cost. En suites from around £105 per week and studios from around £177, with promotional plans from around £110. Multiply the weekly rate by your contract length for the true annual figure.
  • •What is included. High speed wifi, heating, water, gas, electricity and contents insurance, plus gym, rooftop, courtyard, study lounges, laundry access and the package room.
  • •Instalments. Payment is made by bank transfer, direct debit or recurring payment, with instalment dates confirmed during the booking process. Stripe and TransferMate are used where needed.
  • •Deposit. A holding payment secures your room at the reservation stage and is refunded in full only if you cancel within the cooling off period.
  • •Cooling off. Three days from the date of the reservation agreement. Cancel in writing to the site team within that window and the holding payment is returned in full.
  • •No Visa No Pay. Where your visa application is refused and you supply official evidence, you can be released from the tenancy agreement.
  • •No Place No Pay. If you fail to achieve the grades required and therefore lose student status, official documentation allows cancellation.
  • •Extra costs. A non refundable £50 administration fee applies to room changes after the tenancy start date. Double occupancy in a Gold Studio costs a one off £50.
  • •Cancelling outside the criteria. You remain liable for rent unless a suitable replacement tenant is found and approved. Replacement requests are not accepted after 1 June within the tenancy period.

The parents' section

What you should know before your child signs

  • •The cooling off period is only three days. After that the holding payment is retained, so the decision needs to be made properly before signing.
  • •All bills are included. Wifi, heating, water, gas, electricity and contents insurance sit inside the rent, with no separate utility accounts to manage.
  • •Cancelling outside the criteria is costly. Without visa refusal or missed grades, your child stays liable for rent unless an approved replacement tenant is found.
  • •Security is well resourced. There is 24 hour staffing, CCTV, a monitored fire system and key card entry, which matters for a first year living independently.
  • •Room changes cost £50. Any move after the tenancy start carries a non refundable administration fee and depends entirely on availability.
  • •A guarantor is requested at application. International guarantor alternatives are commonly accepted, so raise this early rather than at the contract stage.

  • •What is included. High speed wifi, heating, water, gas, electricity and contents insurance, plus gym, rooftop, courtyard, study lounges, laundry access and the package room.
  • •Instalments. Payment is made by bank transfer, direct debit or recurring payment, with instalment dates confirmed during the booking process. Stripe and TransferMate are used where needed.
  • •Deposit. A holding payment secures your room at the reservation stage and is refunded in full only if you cancel within the cooling off period.
  • •Cooling off. Three days from the date of the reservation agreement. Cancel in writing to the site team within that window and the holding payment is returned in full.
  • •No Visa No Pay. Where your visa application is refused and you supply official evidence, you can be released from the tenancy agreement.
  • •No Place No Pay. If you fail to achieve the grades required and therefore lose student status, official documentation allows cancellation.
  • •Extra costs. A non refundable £50 administration fee applies to room changes after the tenancy start date. Double occupancy in a Gold Studio costs a one off £50.
  • •Cancelling outside the criteria. You remain liable for rent unless a suitable replacement tenant is found and approved. Replacement requests are not accepted after 1 June within the tenancy period.

The parents' section

What you should know before your child signs

  • •The cooling off period is only three days. After that the holding payment is retained, so the decision needs to be made properly before signing.
  • •All bills are included. Wifi, heating, water, gas, electricity and contents insurance sit inside the rent, with no separate utility accounts to manage.
  • •Cancelling outside the criteria is costly. Without visa refusal or missed grades, your child stays liable for rent unless an approved replacement tenant is found.
  • •Security is well resourced. There is 24 hour staffing, CCTV, a monitored fire system and key card entry, which matters for a first year living independently.
  • •Room changes cost £50. Any move after the tenancy start carries a non refundable administration fee and depends entirely on availability.
  • •A guarantor is requested at application. International guarantor alternatives are commonly accepted, so raise this early rather than at the contract stage.

Who is Canvas Arundel House Coventry actually for?

BOOK IT IF YOU ARE...

  • •
    • •Studying at Coventry University. Campus is a four minute walk and several faculty buildings are closer still, which is unmatched anywhere else in the city.
    • •Sociable and new to the city. With 778 residents, a rooftop, a games area and regular events, meeting people takes almost no effort at all.
    • •Wanting facilities included. The on site gym alone saves most students between twenty and thirty pounds a month on a separate membership.
    • •An international first year. All bills, contents insurance, 24 hour staffing and a package room remove most of the practical stress on arrival.
    • •A city centre person. Shops, restaurants, banks, the market and the station all sit within a ten minute walk of the front door.
    • •Booking late. With 778 beds across eight room grades, availability tends to last longer here than in smaller Coventry buildings.

LOOK ELSEWHERE IF YOU...

  • •
    • •Studying mainly at Warwick. Gibbet Hill and Central Campus are a twenty three to twenty five minute bus ride, which adds up across a full week.
    • •Wanting a quiet, small building. A block of 778 residents with an active events calendar will never feel like a calm, private setting.
    • •Bringing a pet. Pets are not permitted anywhere in the building, with no exceptions made for the studio room types.
    • •A smoker. Smoking is prohibited throughout the property, which means stepping outside in every weather for the whole tenancy.
    • •Likely to change rooms. Room moves after the tenancy start carry a non refundable £50 administration fee and depend entirely on availability.
    • •On the tightest budget. En suites from £105 sit above the cheapest Coventry options, so compare carefully if price is your only deciding factor.
What residents actually say
👍 Being four minutes from campus changed my whole routine. I go home between lectures, cook properly and never budget anything for transport.👍 The gym and rooftop are genuinely used, not just marketing photos. I met most of my friends through building events in my first fortnight.👍 Key card access and staff on site around the clock made me feel secure as a woman living alone in a city I did not know.
👎 It is a big building and it feels like one. If you want peace and quiet, the corridors and social spaces can be noisy at weekends.👎 The lifts get very busy at peak times. On some mornings I gave up waiting and used the stairs from a high floor instead.👎 Kitchen cleaning in the shared flats depends entirely on your flatmates, and mine were not tidy. Communal cleaning does not cover your own mess.
