Nothing makes us happier than hearing from the students and parents who’ve experienced our accommodations firsthand. Your feedback drives us to keep improving and ensures we provide the best possible service for Swansea’s vibrant student community. Here is a look at some of the fantastic reviews we’ve received recently: "The Digs team were super helpful throughout my tenancy. The property was in a good standard when I arrived and all went well. I would recommend to others looking for student accommodation in Swansea." - George Hollingberry "The service from Lisa Bartlett at Swansea Digs has been exceptional for my daughter this past academic year at Uni. 2nd year not good going with a private landlord, who never came out when items needed mending or replacing . Communication was awful. I wish my daughter had gone with Student Digs. As her third year with them as landlords was fantastic. Always on hand, communication open and response quick. Thank you Student Digs Swansea and especially Lisa . It was nice to know as a parent 6 hours away if my daughter needed support she received it worth its weight in gold. Could not rate them higher." - Michelle Andrews "They are such a helpful and reliable agency, I never had any issues and they would always reply and sort things quickly. Lisa was very helpful during my uni stay using this agency. Would recommend" - Hannah Lawrence "Digs have been so amazing in helping relocate into new accommodation. Lisa was understanding of my needs and arranged viewings to suit my schedule. The process of viewing, to signing for the property, to moving in couldn't have been made easier. Really thankful to Digs especially Lisa for all their assistance. I can fully recommend Digs for all your student accommodation needs." - Wendy Kong "Fantastic letting agency, and it feels like they are committed to making accommodation comfortable, modern and affordable." - Tobi Oyefusi
