I would say it is the best place to stay in that to in City Center with all the amenities and to do socialize. Traffic noise is not even much but you can see a beautiful view outside balcony.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wasn’t aware about the social practices followed so nicely. I was told that they arrange get to get hers which I thought it is just for sake of doing it but it was actually meant and followed.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I was responded to all the queries raised immediately. Mr Abu also helped on the day we came here for the stay. Mattress was missing so when informed Mr Kishore he Immediately arranged to get the new one.

Vivek thank you for your 5-star review, the team are so happy to read how much you are enjoying your new home and life here in the great city of Birmingham. If there’s anything more we can do to help, just let us know.
Great Value, Good Team
Overall this is a fantastic place to live. Paul, Kishor, Abs, and all of the team here are very friendly and really sort you out. The management side are brilliant, and any issues e.g. plumbing are sorted very quickly. The only small downside to this place is the lift, two lifts are not enough for this size of place, however that is the only short fall. This place is not cheap (£1000+ for a one bed) however given its location, how safe it is, as well as there’s a gym and wifi is included, it is very good value. Would recommend 🙂
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Good – very close to everything, stations, bars etc.
Bad – there can be some noise on the street at night, but only very occasionally and is to be expected living in the centre
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish the gym was a little bit bigger, however it’s not bad given that it comes with the building. Wish the lifts were better!

I am really impressed the team in Aston Place regarding how to manage the daily requests from the residents
As I am a Civil Engineer/Project Manager, I am really impressed the team in Aston Place regarding how to manage the daily requests from the residents. The buidling and property management team (such as an excellent manager Kishor, Abs, Melanie, Mark, ect) have been super helpful to support the new residents for moving in. I am really happy to see myself to make a right decision to live in here.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Personally, I have been living in Birmingham for almost 9 years and I have rent so many places in the past and I could definitely say living in Aston Place under Dandara Living company in Birmingham is one of the best choices I have made. As this place is very closed to the train station, a lot of decent restaurants and local super markets are surrounded. You also can take a tram to view the whole Birmingham without any issues. The most important thing is this place is very safe and traffic noise is almost invisible.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I probably wish to know that the Aston Place has provided charged cleaning service, I wish I could know this earlier otherwise it could help me minimise my time finding the professional cleaning service to do with the end of tenancy for my previous place.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes as I mentioned through the previous section, I am really impressed the way how building management to deal with the residents’s queries and help us out as best as they could.

Safe area
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
– fridge is tiny for a 2 bed- like a minifridge size- they do offer a tabletop freezer for free but this is still not enough for 2 people. We bought our own fridge freezer.
– parking is £100pm but this is standard for central birmingham. Parking is not in the building but in the building next door but its connected underground which is good.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
No issues raised. Got a wrongly issued parking ticket when moving in but they dealt with this themselves.
Great development with friendly staff
Greta development, rooms are well designed and the balcony is a plus. Good gym facilities which are kept in good condition. The management team and staff are friendly, they are always at hand to help with any queries. The place offers small events for residents which are a good way to meet people.

Hello DJ and thank you for sharing your thoughts about Aston Place. I’m delighted to hear that you’ve found our team to be helpful and efficient and you’d be happy to recommend Aston Place as a good place to live.
Why you should choose Dandara Aston Place for your next home
The management team is truly exceptional! They’re so friendly, professional and easy to communicate with. Kishor greets every resident of Aston Place with a warm smile and always has time to make sure if residents have any problems and will contact the right department to get your issues sorted. The reception team are lovely and trustworthy, over the 2 years my partner and I have been here, everyone at Aston Place have made us feel very welcomed.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Dandara Aston Place is in the perfect location for experiencing Birmingham city center and all it has to offer! There’s always a new restaurant or bar around the corner to try near Bullring or Brindley place. The street only gets a bit busy on weekends when everyone’s come for a night out in the city; however, the apartment building is sound proofed and you rarely hear anything from the street level. Parking is also convenient on Holliday Street along with bin collection etc. You really do get the full experience with great location and amenities!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Prior to moving, I wish I had known how much of a community Aston place really is! I would have been more involved in the residents lounge for breakfast gatherings or book clubs etc. that the management team organizes every month.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We’ve had a few issues regarding boiler room smell and raised concerns with management. They would prioritize the issue and send maintenance at their earliest convenience to fix a valve or explain the parts they need to order etc. Great communication when responding to any concerns we have.
Best place to live
The facilities are so new, clean, modern and very well maintained. If there are any problems, the response from the maintenance team is super quick and efficient. Everyone that works at the reception is so sweet and helpful. Whether you’re bored and need to talk to someone, need advice on a good sim provider, or a good restaurant for grilled chicken, they are always willing to help.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Aston Place is in city centre and the convenience is delightful! It’s only a 5 min walk to the station, 10 mins away from bullring, a fresh market, loads of restaurants, 5 mins from the post office!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The windows and balcony doors sound like they are sound proofed! When closed I can’t hear anything from outside. And staying above a highway can get a bit noisy at times, but with everything shut it becomes so silent. I love it!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any issues within the flat can be raised conveniently on their website. Based on the severity of the problem you get an adequately timed response. I had a tiny leak in my sink and someone came to check it merely a few hours after I logged it on the website.
Manager Response
We’re so pleased to hear how much you are enjoying living at Aston Place, and the convenience of the location. Birmingham is a great city and we hope you’ll continue to be very happy living here.
Excellent property to live in
I don’t have any comments to give for the improvement, it is already a well developed property. The only thing that I would request is to add a rack and bar bell weight in gym.
To be honest, facility and building are good in aston place. Also they keep the place so clean, the public area is much more clean than my home.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Excellent location! people and staffs are so nice. It is graceful to live here. It is very close to the new street station. You just need 5-10 mins walk to reach the Sainsbury’s local / Tesco express which is super convenient.

Not really. Because staff in Aston introduced quite detail to us when we had our first appartment visit tour here.

The Parking facility makes us feel absolutely safe coz the security team stands by all the time to check out any cars drive in to identify those either in aren’t the resident or guests from Crown plaza hotel.

As the high demanding of Aston place so in my case, I almost no chance to move in. Just a miracle and the closely follow up by Miss Indianjit , fortunately I was able to move in before Christmas 22. What a great Christmas gift to me 🌟
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
In terms of my recent water leakage from the boiler box, once I addressed to Paul , he arranged the boiler specialist to come at same date at night for helping us to fix the boiler . We did greatly appreciated the boiler specialist as well as Paul ‘s prompt reaction to call them up .
In particular, I have to Thank “Miss Indianjit “, without her closely followed up of the time I applied for rent , I couldn’t live in Aston place .
Also , the team both at front desk (weekdays and weekends) keeps our parcels tidily and 2 technicians do great help when I have issues since day one . Greatly appreciated !
At last but not least , I greatly thank the Cleaning ladies or gentleman who clean all corners and corridors of the building spotlessly .
The best place in Birmingham!

Great building but building management needs improvement
Great modern design and great facilities like a gym. However I have been disappointed by building management as it has taken days for building management to come and sort out issues I’ve had in my apartment and any enquiries I have sent to customer services/reception have taken days to get a reply to. In some instances I’ve had to chase them up too.

Could be better for the price
The rent prices have soared recently in West Midlands and North, therefore studios are £850+ a month (bills not included), depending on the floor of your apartment. The fridge is extremely small and barely fits anything (even in 2+ bed apartments) and in studios there’s no dishwasher. You are not allowed doormats even though the houses are fully carpeted (apart from the tiny strip in the kitchen area and the bathroom), which in bad weather months (90% of the time in Birmingham) makes your apartment carpet absolutely disgusting, unless you take your shoes off before coming into the apartment and put them somewhere to dry/not bring in dirt. There is a hot drinks machine near reception, but you need to pay for the drinks, unfortunately. There’s a gym, which is great but it does get busy. Also has a water dispenser in the gym, but the water smells weird, like it’s from the tap. There’s WiFi included in your rent, which is good, but you can only add devices through MAC numbers, so bear that in mind. Also, if you do a lot of washing up/showering – your hot water will finish and you’ll need to put a booster on, which doesn’t work between specific hours of the day/night. There’s very little storage in studio apartments and your water boiler is located in the wardrobe in your bedroom and makes loud noises in the middle of the night. You do have a good sized balcony, so that’s a plus. You are not allowed to have a second set of keys for your apartment if you live alone, which is a bizarre. Most of the staff are OK, although there is a certain individual who is extremely rude to residents.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Good – 5 mins walk to the station, close to the city centre, have a Sainsbury’s 5 mins away.
Bad – the underpass to get from the apartment to the station and city centre in the evenings and early mornings is very dark, has no streetlights and a lot of drunks/drug addicts and homeless people. Also, if you don’t drive – you will only be able to either order groceries online or shop in expensive local supermarkets as Tesco express, Sainsbury’s local and M&S.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That you’re not allowed doormats and second set of keys for your apartment and that if you want to change some of the furniture in your apartment or just buy some of it yourself – they will not take their furniture out as there’s no storage in this building.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management (most of them) have been great help and very supportive. Although I did have issues with the wifi which took a week to resolve and get someone to finally come and fix it.

Great place to live, convenient location, great staff
Aston Place is a new development, it has a modern design, and great facilities such as gym, gym studio, private room that we can book for parties and gatherings, great staff – friendly and efficient. I live in a corner 1 bed apartment, furnished which has a lot of natural light, all windows open and having a balcony is great to get some fresh air inside. Is spacious enough to fit a big fridge freezer (as I cook a lot, the small ones at the apartment wouldn’t be enough for me). The furniture has all the essentials. I really value having a on site maintanance team because you know and can trust who is coming to your home if there is any issue. About building management is really great that we feel heard when we’ve got suggestions or complaints to raise, also there are always activities planned for the residents.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
It’s a really convenient location, walking distance from many facilities such as New Street station, Mailbox, different grocery shops, as well as bars and restaurants. For transportation not only the train station is really close, but also tram links and bus stops as well.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
If you choose a furnished apartment you are not allowed to ask management to remove any item that comes along with the apartment. So if you want to replace a coffee table, sofa, or whatever you can’t because apparently they don’t have another location to store it.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The only problem I’ve got it was with my washing machine that was not working properly and as soon as I raised a maintanance request for it, the maintanance team came along to check it, and very efficiently got in touch with the technical support from the manufacturer and it got fixed in less than a week.

Good employees
I love the people that work here, very kind and respectful. Very dog friendly too. The only thing that I don’t like is that one person is pushing so hard to make this review that now I’m doing it because I think is an obligation,. But other than that all good.

Excellent property
It’s a well constructed design having all necessary facilities in the apartment building. The property management are very helpful, especially Kishor Tahilani, who always welcomes with a smiling face, listens to residents queries. I would definitely recommend this property to anyway who wish to stay near Birmingham city centre.

Hi Tapan, thank you for sharing your feedback about Aston Place. We’re very grateful to have your comments and to read that you feel at home here.
Best building next to the city center.
The building and the furniture all look in good condition. The colors in the studio are neutral so it is perfect.
The carpet is very soft. The balcony is huge and the view from the balcony is amazing.
The chairs in the flat look a bit old and not in very good condition. It would be great if they could provide new ones.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
The city center is so close to the building.
You will have a mailbox (restaurants, bars, shopping stores) less than 5 minutes by walk. The train station is just less than 10 minutes away.
You also have a library and the metro between 2-3 minutes by walk.
The street near the building is clean and safe. You can exit from the parking by walk or with your car.
The building is near a road so you might hear some traffic sounds but it doesn’t me bother much that much. Furthermore, if you close the door, you don’t hear that much.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Good : Parcel room, club room and Gym, loved it
I have not viewed the apartment in person before moving however here are few things I did not expect :
-The co-working place is not very big and not private. It is a open space and close to the concierge and the gym. I planned to work in the co-working thinking it will be in a quiet place and soundproof. It is a bit disappointed as if you are working from home and wish to use a space in the building.
-The bathroom tiles floor need to be regularly cleaned so it can be get easily dirty with time.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Everything was raised quickly. They will phone you directly so the management team can come and resolve your issue

Hello and thank you for the very helpful feedback. I’m really pleased to hear that you’re enjoying the gym and your apartment and our full-length balconies. They are very unique and so many of our residents enjoy having this outdoor space where they can relax.
The best place to live in Birmingham
The design of this place is incredible. I live in a studio which is very well planned and designed. The place almost resembles a one bedroom house.
The views are breathtaking from my apartment which is on the 21st floor. It can get a bit noisy sometimes because of the prime location but the windows are sound proofed so that’s not much trouble. Overall it’s a wonderful place.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
I don’t think there are any bad aspects. The good ones are that the place is very well connected, everything is within walking distance.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The one thing I should have known before I moved to the UK was that London is overrated and this place is much better to live in. Especially when you compare the rent and properties in London to here, this place is just so much better for the same price.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They are incredibly helpful and friendly. They always stop by as soon as the problem is reported. Their customer service is very good.
Manager Response
Isha, thank you for the fantastic review. I am so pleased to hear that you feel at home, and how much you’re enjoying our great city of Birmingham – we also agree that it’s better than London, but we might be a little bit biased! I hope you’ll continue to be very happy here at Aston Place.
Outstanding
The building and apartments are well designed. Every aspects and spaces are thought through. The soundproof and management team are amazing. It’d be perfect if the reception and seating area were more spacious as it can get a little too busy and crowded.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
I’ve only been here for 2 months but so far love living here. The place is at walking distance of everything (shops, restaurants, transports, etc..) . The street is quiet and secured. The area is busy but not too noisy.
The only bad thing is that the address is not well known so it’s a little complicated for deliveries.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There are private services available for residents (cleaning, laundry, etc..).
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
All issues were sorted within the same week we’ve reported them.
Manager Response
Thank you for your comments and feedback, which we really appreciate. I’m delighted to hear that your first two months at Aston Place have been good and you’re enjoying life in our great city of Birmingham.
