Rated 4.75 out of 5 stars.

I booked this accommodation for the 25/26 uni term and it has not dissapointed, the living space is very luxurious, full of privacy and I love the kitchen that I dont have to share with anyone else! One big thing I also like about living here is that the walls are thick- I have not heard any noises from either neighbours since moving in, I must admit I will miss living here after this term ends. Location is more than brilliant, just over 20mins walk to the city centre if you walk a good pace. Common room I haven’t used much but looks pretty good - with renevations coming soon improving both rooms and the common room. The staff are also great but i must point out Fleur for her 5 star service, She made check in on day 1 very easy, explained everything I need to know about my room and even went out of her way to help me find free parking spaces around the area which was really helpful, and everytime I have had a question about the accommodation she has been great!
