The Collective Bar & Kitchen

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.

I've been staying in the collective for three months now i just rented a cosy studio it's very friendly very calm, safe. and the renting process is very easy, no guarantors needed no advance pay. I had a great experience with Abdo Dada who showed me around the building and talked me through every step of the application process. A home away form home.

I am a new resident/member of The Collective but I have to say I have met some wonderful people here. Friendly is an understatement. I feel welcomed into this community and am so happy I made the decision to try this lifestyle out for myself. Also, Hanife, the manager of housekeeping is so attentive. She let's you know that she is here to ensure we are satisfied with their services. I almost hate to mention just one person at the front desk because I don't want to overlook the 3 or 4 who literally carry the weight of our first impressions, our complaints, interactions and everything in between. Suffice it to say, there are a few that you just know you can depend on.

I had a good experience here. particularly with the booking/renewal process. Abdo was really helpful in particular and the reception staff are always so friendly and present. I'm really grateful for the key worker support they put in for the NHS workers, without it i wouldn't have been able to live here.

I had the chance to meet such a good people from different backgrounds here in the Collective. Also I really want to mention the sales team, specifically Mr.Abdo Dada, always so responsive and respectful; He kept me informed throughout the process of renting my place, providing updates and ensuring that everything went smoothly. so thankful for the experience that I had in Collective building.
