Booking FAQs

We try to make the booking process for our student accommodation as hassle-free as possible. But you might find it useful to know a bit about the process before you start.

Things to consider

What kind of room do I want?

At CODE we have different rooms to suit each budget or taste. Prices vary based on size and view/floor level. It might be helpful to decide on your maximum budget, because some rooms sell out quickly.

How long do I want to stay for?

You can choose between a 48 -week or 51-week contract. The longer one helps if you want to stay over the summer. Because our accommodation is so affordable, your total cost can still work out cheaper than living elsewhere with a shorter contract.

Do I want electricity included or receive termly bills?

For an extra £10 per week, you can receive a capped electricity allowance for the length of your contract. This is good if you want to budget and get away from seasonal variations.

Booking online is the quickest and easiest way to reserve your accommodation with us. But you can also book by calling us. For Coventry call 024 76 105106 or for Leicester call 0116 233 5678.

If you have any questions, we’re also happy to discuss them on the phone, or alternatively you can email or use the live chat on our website.

Our team are used to answering lots of questions, so please ask away! We can also help if you are an International student and would like a bit more assistance with your booking.

Making a waitlist booking when rooms are sold out

Our rooms are very popular and sell out fast. If the room you are interested in is sold out, you can still try to get a room by making a ‘waitlist booking’. Using the waitlist system means you get a priority booking – securing a room before it’s re-released on our website.

When you make a waitlist booking we will take all of your personal information and your credit/debit card details, but your card will not be charged until a room becomes available. (Please note: the £100 will be marked as a “pending” payment by your bank or credit card provider, meaning you cannot use if for other payments).

A waitlist booking is processed automatically, so is helpful if you really don’t want to miss out on a room but can’t keep checking our website for availability.

If within 30 days there is no room available, your waitlist booking will be automatically cancelled.

Please note: There is no guarantee a room will become available, but if it does, you will receive an email confirming your booking and information on next steps. We also recommend you only make one waitlist booking, choosing your most preferred room type.
