iQ Astor House

Set up home in iQ Astor House for a fun and inspirational student experience. Admire the beauty of Plymouth Sound from Plymouth Hoe and discover the city’s rich maritime history at the Mayflower Museum. Indulge in boutique shopping and step back in time on the charming cobbled streets of The Barbican, before heading out to explore global cuisine in the international restaurants on Southside Street. Come back to the modern day to check out the incredible sea life at the National Aquarium.

Enjoy contemporary student living in the heart of the city just a 10-minute walk from Plymouth University. The stunning green expanse of Plymouth Hoe is only a couple of minutes away and the views from the iconic Smeaton’s Tower lighthouse can’t be missed.

Step outside iQ Astor House and into the vibrant atmosphere of Plymouth city centre. Get your cultural fix in the Plymouth Art Gallery & Museum, and stop off on the way home for a drink in a local café. Shop in high street favourites in Drake Shopping Centre or across town in quirky independent shops in the West End.

There’s plenty for you to look forward to back at home too, where you can combine the joys of community living with the privacy of your own bedroom. Study at your desk, and when you’re ready to eat you can challenge your flat mates to a cooking competition in the modern, high-spec kitchen. There’s a dual oven so no need to debate about who goes first! Or, if you prefer your own space, you can pick a private studio with your very own kitchen and dining area.

For a change of scenery, enjoy the rare luxury of having a stunning Sky Lounge, which offers peace and quiet and great city views from the 9th floor of your new home. Meet up with your fellow students in the common room to chat and watch TV together. 

There are no hidden costs to consider at Astor House as Internet, utilities and contents insurance are all included. Secure electronic keys, 24-hour staff and CCTV will make you feel ultra safe, and there’s even a lock up for your bike or surfboard.
