Overview & Location
UppeHalls Residence is a student accommodation property located at 76140 Le Petit-Quevilly, on the southern edge of Rouen, France. The residence sits within a suburban area approximately 3 kilometres from Rouen’s historic city centre. The property is positioned close to a metro station and several supermarkets, which residents have noted as a practical advantage for daily life.
The residence offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom unit types. Key advertised features include a gym and all-inclusive bills. The minimum lease term is four months, and availability begins from 2 July 2026.
Rouen itself is a medium-sized French city with a significant student population. Based on available data, the city currently has three student accommodation properties listed on the platform, with the lowest monthly price starting at €440. UppeHalls Residence sits at the higher end of this local range.
Price Positioning
The monthly price for UppeHalls Residence ranges from €440 to €675 — indicative, confirm with the operator. This places the property at the upper boundary of Rouen’s student housing market. The city’s from-price (the cheapest listed accommodation) is €440 per month, which is the same as the starting price at UppeHalls. However, the maximum price of €675 is notably higher than the city’s baseline.
Several factors likely contribute to this pricing: the inclusion of bills in the rent, the availability of a gym, and the newer build quality that residents have commented on. It is worth noting that one resident described the price-to-experience ratio as poor due to management issues, while another considered it reasonable for what was provided.
If you are comparing options, you should check what is included in the rent at other Rouen properties — not all may cover utilities and internet to the same extent.
Room Types
The residence offers three unit types:
- Studio: Self-contained units with a combined living and sleeping area, plus a private kitchenette and bathroom. These are likely the most common option for solo occupants.
- One-bedroom (1b): Separate bedroom and living space, suitable for a single person who wants more separation between sleeping and studying areas.
- Two-bedroom (2b): Shared accommodation with two bedrooms, a shared living area, and kitchen. This option reduces the per-person cost compared to renting a studio or one-bedroom alone.
The inclusion of bills in the rent means you will not face separate charges for electricity, water, heating, and internet. This simplifies budgeting, particularly if you are unfamiliar with French utility billing processes.
What Residents Actually Say
The property holds a Google rating of 3.6 out of 5, based on 44 reviews. The feedback is mixed, with both positive and negative accounts. Below are three verbatim reviews provided by former residents.
Dyanne Tan (Rating: 1) — “Stayed here for my exchange in Rouen, France. My stay there was pleasant with several supermarkets nearby and metro station. The only downside was that the water heater had several problems during my stay (and it was winter!!), laundry room’s ceiling was leaking quite regularly, internet connection wasn’t the good and ”
This review highlights a common pattern: the location and basic amenities are satisfactory, but technical maintenance appears inconsistent. The water heater issue during winter, a leaking laundry ceiling, and unreliable internet are recurring operational concerns.
Meriem Boussaha (Rating: 4) — “Lovely residency with all you could possibly need, the rooms are clean and have a lot of storage space, the only minor issue I had was that the oven in the common area didn’t work, but it should be fixed by the next term.”
A more positive account, praising room cleanliness and storage capacity. The oven issue in the common area was described as minor and expected to be resolved. This review suggests that for residents who do not rely heavily on common-area appliances, the experience can be satisfactory.
Saravanan S (Rating: 1) — “This is the worst place I’ve ever stayed in any country. They have their rooms good but the management here is worse they don’t event give you the proper respect and they try to get your money as much as possible. I never expected it to be this worse. My suggestion, for this price and this attitude towards their tenant”
This is the most critical review, focusing on management conduct rather than physical conditions. The resident acknowledges that the rooms themselves are good but describes the management as disrespectful and overly focused on financial charges. This is a significant red flag for anyone who values responsive and respectful property management.
Summary of resident sentiment: Physical rooms and location receive generally positive marks. Maintenance reliability and management responsiveness are the primary weaknesses. The property appears to work well for residents who do not encounter problems — but those who do may face difficulty getting timely fixes or respectful treatment.
Who This Residence Suits
- Students who value privacy: Studio and one-bedroom options provide self-contained living without the need to share common areas with strangers.
- Residents who prefer all-inclusive billing: Having utilities, internet, and possibly other costs bundled into one monthly payment removes the hassle of setting up separate accounts with French utility providers.
- Short-term exchange students: The four-month minimum lease and availability from July align well with semester-based exchange programmes. Rouen has multiple universities and business schools that host international students.
- Residents who use public transport and local shops: The proximity to a metro station and supermarkets, as noted by Dyanne Tan, makes daily errands and city access straightforward.
- Those who want an on-site gym: The gym is a distinguishing feature compared to many smaller student residences in French cities.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
- Students who cannot tolerate maintenance delays: If you need fast, reliable repairs for appliances like water heaters, internet, or laundry facilities, the resident feedback suggests this may be a point of frustration.
- Those who prioritise responsive management: Saravanan S’s account of disrespectful treatment and aggressive financial practices is concerning. Even if this is an isolated experience, it is worth being cautious.
- Residents on a strict budget: At up to €675 per month, this is not the cheapest option in Rouen. You may find lower-priced alternatives elsewhere, though possibly with fewer included services.
- Students who need perfect internet reliability: Dyanne Tan reported that the internet connection was not consistently good. If you rely on video calls, online exams, or data-heavy coursework, this is a factor to verify before booking.
Booking Timing
Availability for UppeHalls Residence opens from 2 July 2026. Given that Rouen has only three student accommodation properties listed on the platform, the overall supply is limited. If you are planning a semester abroad or a full academic year beginning in September 2026, the July availability date allows you to move in early and settle before term starts.
For exchange students arriving in January 2027, the four-month minimum lease and July start date mean this property is best suited to the autumn semester (September to December or January). If you need accommodation for a spring 2027 semester, check whether the residence offers different availability windows directly.
Given the mixed reviews, it is advisable to view the property in person or request a virtual tour before committing. Ask specific questions about maintenance response times, internet reliability, and the process for resolving disputes with management.
