Great value and well situated for the Uni

Great value and perfect because I needed accommodation while taking a 2 day course on campus. Rooms are fairly basic and not roomy - fine for a couple of nights, but just a bed, shower room and desk, and without much space. Breakfast was fine but again, nothing fancy - self service bacon, eggs, cereal. The reception staff were all really kind and helpful - sympathetic when I arrived hot and flustered, helpful with questions about parking and the campus. A kind helpful attitude counts for a LOT. I would definitely stay again for the price and convenience, but I wouldn't treat it as a holiday base due to the lack of space.

Basic but nice

So staff are really friendly and polite and super helpful. We did have some spiders n cobwebs up in the corners and a questionalble stain on one wall which i removed with a wet wipe. Towels and toilet roll is plentiful and there seems to be lots of parking too. Nice social areas Fabulous breakfast options too. Easy walk downhill to the town and pubs but you'll want an uber for back up its one heck of a climb 347ft to be accurate! Id stay again as it was a really comfy bed too. Some signs of wear on the bathroom door and wardrobe but she was built back in the early 00s so shes doing alright as buildings go.

It took 40 years but I finally made it to university!😂 The room was a standard dorm room with basic facilities. And a wonderful view from the 13th floor. And as it was after the end of the term it was very quiet and empty. All you can eat breakfast included, so a great start to the day.

Stayed again at the venue but this time midweek the only small criticism I have is that they chose not to do filter coffee jugs at breakfast which was disappointing as was very welcome at the weekend when clearly more guests were staying. I would however suggest just keeping one jug on the go in mid-week would have been nice

This property is student accommodation and is very good value for money. It isn't, and doesn't pretend to be 4 star, but works well and has all the basics. There weren't any lifts in the block I was in, but staff were happy to help with cases. As it was outside term time, there were no buses on the campus, which is hilly.

The University Accommodation was very clean and well cared for. The Staff were very polite and helpful. The room was clean and very acceptable. You do need to bring all your own essentials as toiletries are limited to hand soap. Don’t forget a hairdryer if you need one. Breakfast was most appealing.
