Eclipse
Our Cardiff student accommodation, Eclipse, puts you right where you want to be – just a short walk from Cardiff University, the University of South Wales, and transport links to Cardiff Met. With the city centre only 10 minutes away, you’re close enough for nights out but far enough for a quiet night in.

There’s even a Tesco Express on-site, Grab’n’Go breakfast every weekday during term time, and 24/7 staff and security to keep things running smoothly. With a packed events calendar and students from all over the world, Eclipse is more than just student accommodation – it’s your Cardiff home.

Alex
General Manager
I’ve worked in Student Accommodation for around 10 years, joining Collegiate UK in 2023, and have managed Eclipse for over a year now. The thing I love about working in this industry is watching the residents succeed through such a pivotal time in their lives.
Although I’ve lived in Cardiff for 22 years, I grew up on a farm in the Brecon Beacons, and because of thi,s I’m always drawn back to nature and spending as much time as I can along the coast or in the mountains. I’m passionate about yoga, and fill my time with interior design projects and painting.

Simple Reservation Process
To book student accommodation Cardiff at Eclipse, you’ll need to pay a £100 reservation fee to secure your preferred room. This guarantees your place in our student halls Cardiff while you arrange your finances for the upcoming academic year.
Flexible Payment Options
We understand student finances, which is why Eclipse offers two convenient payment methods for your Cardiff student housing:
- Pay in Full: Complete your payment upfront and enjoy peace of mind knowing your accommodation costs are settled. This option often appeals to international students or those preferring to handle expenses early.
- Student Finance Instalments: Our instalment plan aligns perfectly with student finance payment schedules, making budgeting easier throughout the academic year. These payments spread your accommodation costs, helping you manage your university expenses effectively.
For students choosing the instalment payment option, a UK-based guarantor is required. This standard practice for student accommodation provides security for both parties.
Don’t have a UK guarantor? No problem. Eclipse partners with Your Guarantor, a professional guarantor service that acts on your behalf, ensuring international and UK students alike can access our flexible payment plans.”
