Assuming some sort of normality resumes by October, is this a good social environment to talk with and meet people, as I will be moving UOA myself, it'll be important I get out there a bit haha
By member455800 On 31st March 21
I found when I stayed there was little socialising outwith flats and people organising their own social events (this was precovid). If you're a sociable person you'll be grand - if you prefer organised events look elsewhere as everything unite planned was at causeway halls
By member1260880 On 11th July 21
The Old Fire Station houses nearly 300 students and has it a common room for communal events and informal meetings! Unite is also hoping to get back to doing events hosted by our Resident Ambassadors across all of our properties - Covid-19 regulations allowing!

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 Old Fire Station Reviews
I was moved here from another EveryStudent-accommodation mid-semester (which was not ideal but I don’t think the fault lay with the organisation). First, I was assigned a basement flat, which had apparently not been checked before moving us in because the floor was full of dead (some living) bugs, in the corridor and kitchen as well as in the rooms. The staff luckily moved us into another flat on the ground floor on that same day. Unfortunately, the room I was assigned here had a very peculiar smell to it and one day later, I found the source to be loads of black mould that was forming under the bed on the wall. Again, I was relocated within the same day into another room in the same flat that was luckily unoccupied, and that one’s fine. Kitchen was not that clean, but after wiping down all the surfaces and cabinets, it was okay. Staff are very helpful here, everyone‘s really friendly and issues are resolved rather quickly. Heating is increased in winter.
Thank you for taking time to share your experience. We apologize for the inconvenience of moving between rooms when issues were found so we could address these and we appreciate your patience whislt we were doing so. Our aim is always to be able to provide the best accomodation for our residents and we will take your feedback to improve on our services. We are so glad that our helpful and friendly staff were on hand to address and resolve issues quickly! They all take great pride in the customer service they provide. All the best Every Student Team

The staff that work here, specifically the reception team, are just amazing. They’re so genuine and lovely people! The accommodation as a whole is great. There’s a new social area where you can study or play pool and games. The room feels very safe and I like mine a lot. It can feel super daunting when you first move in with it being so bare, but your room becomes so cosy when you bring in all your personal touches and things from home. Also, in the booking process the team were once again super. I was unsure of what location, room etc I wanted and they do not pressure you in any way but try their best to accommodate. I got very lucky with my flatmates and have had the best experience so far! But if you ever had any issues the team would help you and always support you through anything. The location is very central and near many amenities like Morrisons. Overall it’s been nice to stay here and a fun experience!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience at the accommodation! It's fantastic to hear that the staff, particularly the customer service team, have been so welcoming and genuine. We know having a friendly and helpful team can really make all the difference when you're moving into a new place, especially when you first move in. We are so glad to hear you feel the accommodation itself is great too - the new social area has been a fantastic addition, providing a space for residents to study, socialize, and unwind. We know it is so important to have those communal facilities. And you're absolutely right - it can feel daunting at first when your room is bare, but making it your own with personal touches from home is all part of the exciting process of settling in. It's wonderful that you're enjoying your room and feeling safe and comfortable there. We are really happy that our booking process was a breeze as well, with the team providing excellent guidance without any pressure. That level of support and flexibility is so valuable when you're trying to figure out the best fit. Thank you again for sharing that you've had a really positive experience so far, which is fantastic to hear. Old Fire Station sounds like it's providing a welcoming, comfortable, and enriching environment - exactly what you want when embarking on this new chapter. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and I hope you continue to have a wonderful time here! All the best Every Student Team
The building itself is nice, communal areas are good and the halls are in a very central location. However, the staff are what make this place great, they are always so lovely and willing to chat, they always are able to address problems in a timely manner and give great advice, such amazing folks!

Does not provide value for money. Social events are held, but are pretty lame and low-effort. No one attends.

Lovely staff, happy to assist with problems, nice social area. Decent location for food shop/corner shops/easy access for bus. Lots of storage in bedroom/kitchen. Poor value for money, room was not cleaned when first arrived or kitchen space + no kitchen curtain, mould in the shower + in freezer on arrival, noisy- can hear above flat toilets flushing, sockets could be in better space. more suitable for uni of aberdeen students.

Poor value for money. Small bedroom. Was not clean when I first arrived. Mould in fridge on arrival. Confusing how to use cooker/hob. No lamp shade. Noisy. No curtain in kitchen. Nice social area. Plenty of storage.

The old fire station is an old building with unique characteristics within it. Some flats are better than others, some are more spacious and better value for money. Bedrooms are newly decorated. All bathrooms are wet rooms which does mean that you can't have anything free standing or toilet roll in your bathroom and drains can get slow at draining very quickly. Heating in the rooms can be an issue however maintenance are very helpful at trying rectifying the issue. The majority of staff on reception especially management are very helpful and are keen to rectify problems as soon as possible. Maintenance team are very keen for a quick turn around of maintenance issues and on the whole will rectify any issues within the working day. Safety team majority of the time are no where to be seen and at times if there is an urgent issue (such as keys not working or the fuse box tripping,) past 6pm it can be difficult to get it resolved and staff on the phone can be rude.
Thank you for the detailed information about your Old Fire Station stay! We love being able to offer a unique living experience with character and newly decorated bedrooms. We appreciate the insights regarding the wet rooms —good to know how some people feel about these. It’s reassuring to hear that the maintenance team is helpful in addressing heating concerns, as that can definitely make a difference in comfort. We love to share more about which flats are available and the best options in terms of space and value for money. Thanks again for taking the time to share! Best, Every Student Team

Despite the friendly staff, run-down building with obsolete equipment. Other major complaints included heating being cut off despite the cold (I ended up having to wear sweaters/jackets indoors during the day), and the lack of cleanliness. For the high price, it's surprising to see such irregular cleaning services. Overall, a very underwhelming experience and most tenants slowly left for better places elsewhere.

The place is perfect if you are looking for a reasonable price, the rooms are quite good. I was living in the -1 rooms which are the biggest and have a huge kitchen but it came with a huge problem. The wifi is 2.4Gz meaning it is a very slow wifi, most of the time I have to avoid whatsap video calls and films in the phone because it just doesn’t handle it, I fixed the problem with the computer by buying a Ethernet cable, but nothing can be done on the phones.

Hello, Thank you for your review about your experience at The Old Fire Station ! We are very happy to hear that you have had a nice experience with our Team and our Facilities! Have a lovely day, Rossella
I lived here for 2 years, it's really convenient to not have to pay separate utility bills and the booking process is incredibly accessible and smooth for the most part. My experience was much better once I moved in with my friends in my second year, as living with strangers is hard sometimes. Great location, easy to get to my uni campus and town, pretty much everything is in walking distance. Nice outdoor spaces and benches. It is annoying that staff can come in and out of flats as they please, and the heavy fire doors are really loud. The property also changed management right at the beginning of my second year and we were given next to no notice and very little information about this, and there were some issues as a result of the change over. There are also frequent issues with the showers, such as drainage problems and poor water pressure. Usually it's not too difficult to get things fixed but it can be frustrating when these issues recur multiple times.

Old building with lots and lots of maintenance issues. Contractor visiting all the time and all the noises from working makes it hard to tolerate. Expensive rooms but no appropriate social spaces matching the rent.

It takes pretty long time for the property (e.g. lift) to get repaired, but it's a good place to live in during the uni years in overall - could tell as I've been living in this accomodation for 3 years.

A lot of things broke like our hob was broke before we moved in. Both the fridge and oven light had to be replaced too but the management came and fixed it quickly so that was good. £10 for a new keycard is a bit expensive I think though because you can’t help if you loose it maybe after the second or third charge but not straight away

A Wonderful Stay at Everystudent, Old Fire Station Aberdeen I can confidently say that my time at Everystudent, Old Fire Station in Aberdeen was nothing short of fantastic.

Overall, The Old Fire Station is ok student accommodation in my opinion. However, customer service is extremely poor; I was promised a LifeStyle voucher by October 2022 and I am still yet to receive this as of June 2023, staff are not helpful at resolving this issue.
Hello, Thank you for your review of the Old Fire Station! We are sorry to hear that you have not yet recieved your LifeStyle Voucher! However, we are not the provider of this promotion, please make sure to contact the previous accommodation provider! Have a lovely day, Rossella
The old fire station is a good place to live in general - excellent location, lovely receptionists, ok rooms, but the building is quite old and you can definitely tell. Also the maintenance team is not the fastest, best nor most considerate of people living in the flats. Also the cleanliness is not the best. Depending on what you value most it is worth the money, but if you want modern and problem-free living (no issues with the building or flat etc) I probably would not choose the Old fire station.

This place is okay but not value for money in terms of bills. The heater does not always turn on so my room would be left freezing cold many times and the staff could not do anything about it. So as a result I would often fall sick. The hot water also randomly turns off after a while in the shower. I would never live here again

Perfect location in centre of Aberdeen with morrisons and main bus stops right outside. However the flats aren't the cleanest and the laundry room is often busy making washing inconvenient

It’s been quite nice living here, although I don’t feel that there’s enough community social spaces to hang out with and meet people in. I sometimes struggle to meet new people and I’ve found it more difficult this year than last year.

Hello, Thank you for this lovely review! The Old Fire Station is definitvely in the perfect location with shops and bus station right next to it! Thank you again for your feedback! Have a lovely day, Rossella
The accomodation is nice, however not having double bed rooms could be quite annoying. The reception’s staff is very friendly. The flats are okay but just need to be lucky enough to get nice and clean flatmates. The location of the accomodation is perfect for a student going to the uni of Aberdeen. We have lots of facilities near by, such as Morrisons, halal shop, African shop etc.. for groceries; hairdresser salon for both ladies & gents. And the bus stops are Litterally 2 mins walk. Such a nice accomodation honestly.

Heating doesn't work as described, its always cold, never turns on. Doors are too loud, and even though there are simple solution, no one has bothered to even attenuate the issue, which has been disrupting my sleep throughout my whole stay. Not coming back

I have spent two years at the old fire station, when it used to be owned by unite student. I feel like unite did a better job at affordability where every student have upped the price of rooms and now charge £10 for a key card etc. Overall, they provide a safe space for students in a good location.

Most of my time here was plagued by a very poor WiFi connection - however it is now fixed and works fairly well. Room had a few faults during my stay however the staff were very helpful in resolving these issues quickly so it was never much of a bother. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and always offer their best efforts and have made staying here feel more homely. The rooms are spacious and unbeaten in quality of desk and storage amenities. The bathroom is difficult to maintain but it all comes at a reasonable cost.
It’s a good accommodation. It has really helped me since my scholarship money has been delaying and the have time to follow up with me and all without giving me pressure
The staff are wonderful, it's in a perfect location for getting where you need to go and it's a lovely place to live.
Kayley is great, best staff member I’ve see, very kind
The staff and facilities are great!
Everyone is really friendly and supportive
Friendly reception and great location. Tesco is very conveniently close with great room size and two bedroom apartment
Good central location, good common room for meeting up with friends. Secure and safe. When I arrived for my STL late , Hazel in safety was very helpful checking me in and showing me around.
Stayed here for 2 years now and couldn’t recommend the place enough. I feel very safe with the security team and the staff. Hazel is great as once we were locked out and she was a massive help in getting this issue resolved and really put me at ease with the situation.
The house keeper Angie is great at providing help where needed.
Love it here, 100% recommended. Angie is super friendly, approaching and always likes a chat.
The Old Fire Station is such value for money compared to uni owned student accommodation. It's a quiet place to live. The staff are so friendly and Angie and Gary are legends and so friendly. TOFS is central and literally only a 10-15minute walk to the city centre, perfect if you enjoy the student night life.
I've stayed at the Old Fire Station for 3 years now. Everyone at the site is very friendly and helpful, especially Angie! The location is great. Just a short walk from city centre, AU and Morrisons across the road. There are also regular bus services into town and RGU from outside the front door.
It's legit an old fire station. love it here :)
This place has been everything that I expected from the website. The staff are wonderful and very friendly. You get people here from different universities and different ages which means that the vibe is quite different to the more party focused university owned student housing.
Been here 2 years and booked again for next year. Security are really nice and Maintenance are quick and efficient whenever there's a problem. Staff are also always very friendly and helpful (Angie and Gary!)
Have stayed at the Old Fire Station for three years in a row and I couldn't have hoped for a better accomodation. I really wanted an ensuite room and the OFS offers those for a really affordable price! Staff is super nice and helpful (shoutout to Angie and Gary) and there's regularly events held in the common room for everyone to socialize. Overall would 100% recommend!
The staff is always willing to help
I have stayed at The Old fire Station for over 3 years. The location of the property is perfect for jumping on the bus to RGU, there is a bus stop just outside the property. There is a supermarket right next door to the property too - Morrisons. The site is in the city centre and the main shopping centres are 5 minutes away. The property is great, there is a very large common room with a free pool table / football table. There is a an area where you can watch tv and a seperate study area with printers onsite. The staff are very friendly, Angie the housekeeper ensures the property is sparkling, great to chat with too. We recently had a new guy start at reception gary, hes so helpful and very friendly.
Great value for money this building is the most perfect location - half way between Aberdeen University and Union Street and also directly opposite Morrisons
