We were very disappointed, we had booked double en-suite; the room was equiped for a disabled person, the bed an extremely small double with a dent in the lower part of the mattress, no aerial cable for T.V., reading light & overbed light did not work. It appeared to be equipped for one person ie 1 set of towels, 1 tooth mug. Neither heating or towel rail worked. Bathroom area very lime scaley. Staff had difficulty finding room key & seemed uninterested as a whole.

The location isn't perfect because the uni is slightly outside of the city centre but you can't fault the price.

Difficult to find, but room was spacious and very clean. Easy and cheap to catch the bus into the town center rather than attempt to drive (an absolute nightmare). Staff very helpful.

Everything was perfect, good facilities, great price. However make a note that you are not supplied with plates, cutlery, washing up liquid. However they did supply a towel, small bottle of condition and body wash and soap. So bring your own shampoo. And the closing of doors around you is pretty noisy. Other than that it was very good

The room was wonderful. The kitchen was OK, but there were no kitchen utensils or cookware. Wonderful, hot shower. The Accommondation Services has obviously big problems with their customer service. I stayed over 2 months and every time I paid my "rent" (usually 3-4 weeks at a time), there was a mix-up. Some members of the housekeeping staff were very noisy - some of them were also nosy - and didn't seem to care that some guests might want to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

The room was excellent. Unfortunately the shared kitchen facilities offered were dirty with no means to clean them. The university campus is very pleasant and the Sports cafe offers a basic healthy meal till 7pm on campus

Location is a bit far from town, otherwise is an excellent alternative to traditional hostels. Onsite sports facilities and 24 hour library are great benefits!
