The hall provides all the basics and the cleaning is really good, but the rooms and equipment are worn down. For £99 a week I feel like more could be offered.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.
Read Fyfe House Reviews
You get one room and shared bathroom/shower/kitchen facilities for £99 a week. I felt like I was living in a hotel the entire year. There's almost no point in the common room as its only ever used for parties and management actually locked it because they made so much mess. Our corridor was full and we were all sharing a kitchen with not enough storage space and they wouldn't let anyone move into the next corridor which was nearly empty. Most of the cleaning staff were friendly. I wish there was a recycling bin in the kitchen. Location is ok. 15-20 minute walk to main campus, 10 minute walk to Lidl's. Fyfe is in Hillhead, and the main building here is the closest thing students have to a social space so that's good. There are also regular buses right outside, but they're expensive. Laundry is also expensive and half the time the dryers don't even work. Spare yourself the cost and buy a drying rack. Internet is pretty good but drops occasionally.
Nice and clean, but you'd expect something more for the money you pay. Taps and showers are ridiculous, doorlocks can drive you crazy. But generally it's not bad. You'll need your own pots, graters and so on, but things like toasters or microwave are already here. Laundrettes are not in control of reception and apparently they can't do anything but call the company if something goes wrong.
The hall provides all the basics and the cleaning is really good, but the rooms and equipment are worn down. For £99 a week I feel like more could be offered.
