The staff are incredibly kind and always say hello to you when you come in! The security staff are very helpful and kind. The do lots of events throughout the year e.g., pride, black history, welsh days, christmas etc. It’s quite easy to get any maintenance done but sometimes when it’s busy throughout the year it takes a bit longer. I had a lovely time living here:)

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.

This Accomodation is lovely and organised
Charlton Court is in a great location as it is a 15-20 minute walk into town and right next door to Lidl and a Puregym. As well as this there is a bus stop right outside making it so easy to get around. The accommodation itself is modern and the bedrooms/en-suites are well designed apart from a bit of a lack of storage. The kitchens are a great social space with plenty of cupboards, even if the chairs are a bit uncomfy! There’s been some issues with maintenance requests not being resolved but on the whole if you report something then it’ll be looked at quickly. The reception staff are always happy to help and the 24 hour security gives you peace of mind. Overall I would recommend Charlton Court for first year accommodation.
The staff are incredibly kind and always say hello to you when you come in! The security staff are very helpful and kind. The do lots of events throughout the year e.g., pride, black history, welsh days, christmas etc. It’s quite easy to get any maintenance done but sometimes when it’s busy throughout the year it takes a bit longer. I had a lovely time living here:)
i had such a good time living in charlton court, the staff are so friendly and always willing to help (my favs were brian, fran, and mo
Owain is always talkative and welcoming
Overall the flats and management are excellent
Loved being able to see my mates whenever as we’re so nearby. But then some of the staff who work during the day at reception are hopeless such as writing insensitive emails, never know the answer to any questions even though they work here, don’t get anything done in my opinion that r take ages and more (there’s a few who are great tho) and don’t get me started on the night staff omg!!!! Brian and Dean!! Love them and make it so welcoming, making sure ur okey, having amazing chats for hours, both literally dads to us making sure we’re okey.
Brilliant for if you are studying at locksbrook campus. Very lovely staff !
really great experience great location friendly and helpful staff
Best student accommodation!!!!
Good accommodation with enough space in bedrooms, big kitchen and friendly staff
Absolutely love the rooms here (especially the green ones). The ensuites are really good size with alot of storage and the shower is also a good size. Love the main rooms incredible amount of storage and lovely bed. perfect room honestly, i love my room so much!
Being on the 4th floor of charlton is awful. Heat is ridiculous. Wifi is unreliable too plenty of times it just went out and sometimes even 4g is better. No circulation either and so dry. Mattress is pretty bad too and springs are spent.
It was very functional and spacious. The en-suite was a massive life saver and everything was in perfect distance, from Lidl to Pure Gym to bus stops. And I had a very scenic view of the river.
Thank you for leaving us a review! We are really glad to hear that you have really good experience whilst living with Unite Students in Charlton Court. We love getting such great feedback and wish you all the best with the rest of your Uni experience!
Since my campus is close, it makes getting to classes so much easier. amenities are good enough as well as the cleaning. The staff here are also really good. Issues arise from kitchen and individual bathrooms but all in all, its well rounded.
Thank you for your review! We are really happy to hear that you enjoy living with Unite Students and that we can help make your time at University a positive one! We would be really interested in gaining more feedback from you regarding the kitchen and bathroom concerns you raised, so that we can see what we might do to alleviate these concerns and see what we might be able to improve on for the future. Please pop to reception or feel free to email us at charltoncourtbath@unitestudents.com with your concerns and we can take a look for you. Many thanks, Your Charlton Court Team
Generally really happy with my experience here. The staff are always lovely, bar one occasion but they seemed stressed so it’s ok! The flat wasn’t clean when I moved in and had to clean it but the corridors and communal spaces always feel clean enough. It’s very expensive but it is in Bath generally so hard to not accept that.
Thank you for your review!We are really pleased to hear that the team have been able to make your time living with us here at Charlton Court a positive one! We really appreciate your feedback and will be reviewing it to see where we can make improvements for the future.Many thanks,Your Charlton Court Team
I’m not left wanting for anything. It’s reassuring to have 24/7 friendly staff on call for any issues and the events they run are inclusive and inventive.
Thank you for your review! It is really great to hear such positive feedback about the team at Charlton Court and we are really pleased that you are happy in your home whilst at University.
Really nice spacious room and the staff are absolutely lovely would highly recommend.
Brian at the front desk ( night safety) is the best bloke I’ve ever met, give him a pay rise please because he does his job brilliantly and makes us all feel so safe, he’s such a sound guy. Xxxx
Staying at Charlton Court was really beneficial to my first two years at uni, the location couldn't be more convenient for students based at Locksbrook, especially useful having hobbycraft, lidl and costa nearby too. I felt safe staying there and will really miss Charlton as lots of memories were made there. Apart from a few maintenance issues that were sorted fairly quickly, I would 10/10 recommend to others.
Kind staff always available when needed (and emergency staff 24/7). On site trustworthy contractor is available to fix anything you need (and often fixes what you need fixed the next day - you don't always need to be present, this is great when you have work or uni). The only issue is laundry facilities arnt enough for everyone and some are often broken but it's usually fixed soon enough.
Thank you for your comments, they are much appriciated!The laundry facilties are provided by a 3rd party company, we are working towards trying to get new machines to resolve any issues with the washers.
Very nice place - great staff service and polite
Maybe one of the top3 apartments on the Lower Bristol Road!
The apartment complex was a great place to live, the kitchen was great and the room was comfy. A lot of things broke unfortunately and there were some mould issues but most of the things were fixed quite quickly. The staff were all really lovely people and very happy to help any problems we had.
The night team were honestly the nicest Brian and Dean helped with absolutely everything and made sure we were happy and okay constantly. Grace and Owen at the desk during the day are the nicest and the funniest people. Those four really made my experience here the best it could have been!! So thank you and shoutout to them!!
The staff is what made my experience, mainly night staff (Brian and Dean) and Grace :)
Perfect location between uni and town, staff have always been so lovely, accommodating and supportive of our flat! If I could stay forever I would :)
Thank you very much! We are so happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay at Charlton Court! It’s one of our smallest properties which means we have the time to really get to know our students. It's been a real pleasure this year getting to know you all. Thank you for your review and we endeavour to make all our student experiences as positive as yours. Your Charlton Court Team
If I could give it 0 I would. The wifi to begin with is ridiculously slow and doesn't even work in block A. The door to block B has been broken and not locked since November (2018) which makes me and many others feel very unsafe, and it's unlikely to be fixed before we leave. The staff just come into your flat/rooms without announcing. I would be fine with paying the amount they charge since we are in Bath if the place was half decent, but even with submitting complaints you barely get any help or a response from staff or Unite themselves. Definitely do not recommend.
I am pretty disappointed in Charlton Court and it is honestly not worth the money. Positives: Friendly staff, fairly quick to resolve maintenance issues, good location (Costa/Mcdonalds/Lidl close by and only a ten minute bus ride into town. Negatives: The cleaners hardly come in and when they do the kitchen is never cleaned adequately. The sofas in the kitchens are disgusting (stains all over, tears and just generally filthy). The hob takes a while to heat up. The cupboards are dirty inside. In my first month here i found about 12 dead flies in my freezer which is sickening.. My bedroom door frame also fell completely out of the wall in the first month. The toilets are very noisy after you flush them which is just annoying. Generally worth paying a little bit more for the other halls in Bath because Charlton Court just isn't worth it.
This place is seriously over priced. It's also a particularly miserable place, there's no community feel and you can go days without seeing anyone on your own floor due to large amounts of empty flats/rooms. The condition of the flat/rooms upon moving in were dirty and run down. The day staff are genreraly friendly and helpful however, the night staff not so much. The view from the flats on the exterior of the building is beyond tragic featuring a graffitied abandoned warehouse. The location is convienient for buses and there's a couple of shops near by but apart from that not a great area. Overall Charlton Court is NOT value for money. They make a good impression on open days/online pictures but in reality there is much better accomadation available elsewhere.
Can I rate it 0? Students were horrible people, no support given when trying to leave or even change room, left me with huge health issues
it's alright for first year accomodation
make this your last option as the building is very old so does your room. Hot shower does not work from time to time on a going basis
(Resident from 27/09/15 - 17/09/16). Positive points: en suite, friendly staff, quick to fix issues. Negative points: -Unclean (marks on walls, carpets needed cleaning, bathroom was not cleaned before arriving, kitchen was a mess: carpet had old vomit on it, sofas smelled and were unclean, hoover smelt of sick when used, no dust pan and brush), kettle was full of limescale and was leaking onto the electrics -many issues over the year: the toilet not working, boiler always braking down therefore, leaving us with no water and also no hot water. -Other flats had better upgraded rooms that were the same price as what we were paying which i think it unfair. -All year round it was very hot in our rooms as we lived at the top, we never used the heating so i would say the top rooms need air conditioning at least as the windows do not open very far. Overall the experience was not pleasant and remember to call up to receive your deposit otherwise you wont receive it for ages.
DON'T BOTHER LIVING HERE JUST GET A HOUSE. I've had nothing but problems my entire stay here. The staff are generally unfriendly and have a tendency to walk in and out of flats as they please (privacy invasion much? Been in the shower and had a member of staff enter my room without my consent). Felt like I was in a prison being checked on by wardens every two minutes. The toilets are s***, mine constantly makes noise when flushed and has disrupted my sleep numerous times. Has not been fixed by maintenance. Had to spend weeks showering at specific times of the day to catch a few minutes of hot water because there is constant boiler problems. The WiFi is the SLOWEST piece of s*** you've ever known, just cuts out at convenient times like when you need to submit your essay. The price is RIDICULOUS for such a s******, just because you're in Bath doesn't mean you can charge £7000 for ridiculously long contracts, especially when you cater specifically TO STUDENTS.
You can't live here without at least one thing breaking! For what you get, it's ridiculously over priced! The location to town and Sion Hill is great! Very social place :D
You don't expect a 5 star stay when you come to halls but for £141 a week you would at least expect the flat to be clean and in working order. It's close to town and near shops which is handy but the cons out weigh the pros by a mile. Moved in on a Sunday, I told them the toilet was broken, only got fixed on a Wednesday! The flat was supposed to be cleaned and yet there were stains, scuffs and burn marks all around the kitchen. Again, I don't expect a 5 star service but this is barely above what a hostel would be. But then this is my opinion!
Rooms good size, kitchen good size, possibly a fan in kitchen would be good
Terrible! Overpriced for what it is! Charlton Court says it is the "high life of student accommodation", try the lowest level of student living! Hot water that didn't work properly, and you still had to run the shower for at least 15 minutes to have a decent temperature even when they fixed the problem. Internet that keeps cutting out, security Gates that have broken twice in a year. Even the staff wernt welcoming! Okay, so you have less people per flat, but is it really worth roughly £140 a week?
One of my greatest memories of university was my first year, especially student halls. Charlton Court was comfortable (a lot bigger than most halls including en suite bathrooms and massive kitchens) living with 4 others. Most of all the location was fantastic and social life even better!
The halls were very pricey, waay too much for any first year independent student to afford
Excellent but staff need to chill!
A great location, yet so many problems occurred over the year with piping, Internet and electrics. The kitchens need updating and the outside gates kept breaking. Despite all of that, it's great for socialising and the pool/ping pong table are great for spending time with friends. Would like the prices to be improved, considering that Waterside experienced none of the same problems our housing did.
Charlton Court is far too overpriced - it's not worth it for the slightly bigger bed and less people per flat. We spent a week in November without hot water (so no hot showers) due to a broken down boiler. The internet has also been down for about a fortnight in total forcing us to go into uni to do work whenever it broke. My toilet has broken twice - it just stops flushing. Our fridge has been broken from the Beginning - the door won't seal closed as it's supposed to and we've reported it several times - nothing happens.
