the place has been really beneficial for myself and flatmates; the kitchen space is cosy, with its own washing machine and dishwasher which come really handy. the secure intercom service is also a big emphasis on safety which we really wanted, and the social events put on by mezzino are a lot of fun to attend

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.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are thrilled to hear your experience with us has been beneficial and enjoyable. We love that you are enjoying the use of the free washing machine and dyer in your flat. We hope that your enjoy the rest of your time with us and we wish you all the best with your studies. Many thanks Karen, Accommodation Manager
This is the worst accommodation I have stayed in. Management has people coming into the flat almost every week for various checks and inspections. All doors are firedoors so it is hard not to let them slam and my flatmates wake me up constantly. Despite being told when I viewed the property that they would make every effort to place me with other final year students I ended up with a first year and a third year. Both are from another university, both study the same thing and are from the same country (all different to me) so it seems that there was no effort put in at all to place me in a flat where I would fit well. My flatmates take over communal spaces to host groups of their friends and wake up at 5 or 6am to play loud music, talk on the phone or hoover their rooms. I requested to move flats but was told no other rooms were available and there was no follow up on this. The only good thing is it is a good location for the university and for the sports centre.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry you feel that way. I have taken your comments on board so that we can investigate them. We always encourage students to come to us with any issues so they can be addressed quicktly. We pride ourselves on trying to place people with appropriate students however we can't always predict who will apply for the accommodation and sometimes it is out with our control. Please contact us on aberdeen@mezzino.co.uk if you would loike to discuss anything futher , Many thanks, Karen, Accommodation Manager.
Very well located, and great maintenance! Nice social events proposed and cosy flat

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your experience at Mezzino. We are so glad to hear you had such a great experience with the flats and the staff. We pride ourselves on trying to go the extra mile for our students, Many thanks, Karen, Accommodation Manager
Whilst away for Christmas our flat unfortunately flooded due to the pipes in the upstairs property bursting. The management team couldn’t have been more helpful. They moved our stuff including our food to keep it safe and found us new accommodation quickly.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to review our accommodation. Thank you for complimenting the staff after a flood in your flat occured outwith our control. We will pass on all your postive feedback to them, all the best, Karen, Accommodation Manager
we recently experienced an unexpected flooding incident in my student accommodation over the Christmas break. While it was a challenging situation, I must commend the management for their prompt response and exemplary handling of the situation. Despite the flood being caused by a neighboring property, they kept us informed every step of the way and provided alternative accommodation immediately upon our return. The new living arrangements were comparable to our original setup, ensuring we still had access to the amenities we initially agreed upon. Management did everything they could to minimise damage - they dried out our belongings and even stored our food in their facilities. The staff remained incredibly apologetic and supportive, despite the circumstances being beyond their control.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. It is unfortunate when issues happen in the flats outwith our control but we are so pleased you were happy with the service we supplied to resolve the issues you encountered. It was our pleasure to try our hardest to make everytring as seemless for you as possible. Many thanks, Karen, Accommodation Manager
This property is in a great spot, super close to the sports village and university. Maintenance is top-notch, they fix things fast and keep up with preventative care. Paying rent is easy too. Overall, it's a really nice place to live.
HI there! Thyank you for your postive review on our maintenance service. We'll make sure to pass this onto the team! We are so happy to hear you love living with us. Kind Regards, Karen, Accommodation Manager
Amazing flat very close to the University. Free washer dryer in the flat and great staff
Thank you for taking the time to review our accommodation. We are so pleased to hear that you loved having the washer dyer in your flat and free to use without queuing for washing machines or paying extra on top of your weekly rent! We will pass on your comments to all the staff too, Many thanks. Karen, Accommodation Manager
Perfect wifi, great accommodation. Not many social spaces are available in linksfield but they are available in trinity court across the road. Rooms are great and sound insulation is amazing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our Linksfield property. We are so happy to hear you think the WIFI is great and our flats. Trinity Court is close for our Linksfield students to use the student lounge for social gatherings, but we will look at more inventive ways to get social events at Linksfield specifically for you all to enjoy. Many thanks Karen, Accommodation Manager.
Very good property, extremely close to the sports village. Very good location for both the city and the university. Exceptional maintenance with issues being dealt with very quickly and good preventative maintenance. Payment is also easy and quick. Overall a very good place to call home.
Hi there! thank you so much for your lovely review. We're glad to hear you find Linksfield to be a great location for all your needs. We will pass your compliments of the maintenance team onto Gary! Many thanks. Karen, Accommodation Manager.
Been at Linksfield for 3 out of my 4 years at Aberdeen university, would highly recommend to new students. Have enjoyed my stay.
Thank you so much for leaving us a lovely review. We are so happy you have enjoyed your stay with us and have been part of the Mezzino family for 3 years! We always miss our students when they move on from us after University and wish you all the best with your future plans at the end of your academic year! Many thanks, Karen, Accommodation Manager.
lovely staff and lovely social events
The little events have been really fun to attend
We are so pleased to hear you are enjoying our little events, remember to look out for the bigger ones too at Trinity court as everyone is welcome. Hope to see you soon, Many Thanks, Karen Accommodation Manager
I love the events organised. I only wish we had quicker wifi.
Thank you for taking the time to review us we really appreciate it. We are so happy to hear you are enjoying our social event calander. We are sorry you are dissappointed with your Wifi please report all issues to Wifinity and send us your ticket number so we can follow it up. Many thanks, Karen, Accommodation Manager.
Very convenient for the price. Social events are really good.
Thank you for reviewing our accommodation. We love putting on events for our students and glad you are enjoying them. Many thanks, Karen, Accommodation Manager
I recently moved into a flat at Linksfield. The windows were covered in muck and quite unpleasant so I requested that they be cleaned. Mezzino informed me that the windows would not be cleaned for over a month. When I remonstrated, they blamed the seagulls. They then told me that they were going through their summer cleaning and not everything was going to be ready for my move over. I was not told this prior to signing our tenancy agreement. In short, Linksfield is not maintained all year round, so if you want clean windows over the summer, which is perfectly reasonable, then perhaps you should stay elsewhere.
We are sorry to hear you were disappointed we weren't able to clean the windows when you changed flats within the building. We have an outside contractor booked in to clean them prior to the new tenancy starting on 10th of September 2022. A contractor is required to carry out this cleaning due to the size of the building we cannot unfortunatley carry out cleaning ourselves safety. We really hope once the cleaning has been carried out you can once again enjoy your stay at Linksfield, Kind Regards, Karen, Accommodation Manager.
Ideally placed accommodation close to University of Aberdeen, Union Street as well as scenic places such as Seaton Park and Aberdeen Beach. Fully inclusive with high standard of cleaning also provided. Rooms basic but well equipped. Kitchen and Bathrooms both modern and high quality. Hard to judge social aspect due to COVID but kitchen has space for a fair amount of people.
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience at Linksfield, we are so pleased you have had a positive experience and wish we could have done more student events this year.
