Amazing accommodation, as a physically disabled student I have many worries about safety and ease of access but that is no problem here. The staff are amazing and always on hand to help and almost all the building is completely accessible. Would highly recommend for a safe, comfortable and well situated place to live with nearby transport links all over Bath and even into Bristol. I have never felt safer living in an apartment than I have 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.

Not good value for money. Only two laundry machines which cost 5.50GBP per load. No facilities like gym. Smoke alarms go off a lot. and at 5:30am.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re sorry to read of these aspects of your stay that have negatively impacted your experience. All of our facilities are shown on the website prior to booking. We’re sorry that the fire alarms have caused you disruption during your stay, due to the large number of residents we have cooking, etc. fire alarms occasionally sounding is inevitable and are vital to the safety of all our residents. We appreciate your feedback. Many thanks – Student Roost

One of the best student accommodations in Bath; with a social area open 24/7 and staff always available and willing to help the Depot is one of the most welcoming places to stay throughout your uni course. Both the day and night staff go out of their way to make your experience the best it can be. Several event are run throughout the year and are always good fun. Bills and Wi-Fi are included in the rent cost which make the accommodation relatively affordable.

Had a really great year here. All the staff were so helpful and friendly especially Reuben! He was always smiling and was able to help me with any problem, and so friendly! Couldn’t recommend more.
I have been at the depot for 2 years now and couldn’t think of a better place to stay! I have made so many amazing friends in my building, and the social space is a great place to hang out and watch movies…. Not forgetting the study room if you need a change of scenery from your flat! The entire team are incredibly kind and supportive. Their door is always open 24/7 if you need a chat, so you know the building is in safe hands. Big shout out to Cassie (day staff) and Rory (Night owl) who are always up for a chat and will make you feel so welcome. Couldn’t recommend this place enough :)
This was a saviour for me as I needed to shift in the middle of the semester as my dependant got a visa. the staff is very nice. Staying with your partner is with no extra charges. Also, I did not know anyone in the UK so had to not worry about a guarantor as they take international guarantors too. the studios was all cleaned and given to me. the place is very clean and quiet and there is actual sunlight in the rooms.
There is not a single negative thing I can say about this accommodation. The rooms are very modern and the location is perfect. But more importantly, the management team is amazing. They are very helpful, caring and understanding. I wish I found this place earlier. I cannot recommend it enough. :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy that you felt at home with us we are sad to see you go, but good luck in your future :)
Friendly staff, great service, close to bus stop and Sainsbury’s
Thank you so much for your review, your feedback is important to us! Good luck with your future endevours :)
My experience staying at the Depot has been nothing short of amazing ! The reception staff are super friendly and a delight to talk to, they ensure everything is taken care of immediately and have your best interests at heart. Despite the ongoing pandemic and the lack of social events, I have been able to make some wonderful friends in the building. I would 100% recommend this accomodation to individuals who really love their own space and wish to be closer to town.
Thank you very much, we really appreciate your review ! We are happy that we can make your stay with us pleasent :) - The Depot team
Massively overpriced. Facilities are bad, and quality is below expected. I would not book here again.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear you are not satissfied with living at The Depot. It would be great if you could send us an email to the.depot@studentroost.co.uk or come and speak with us at the reception as we value every opinion and would like to discuss further the issues you've mentioned. We look forward to hearing from you. - The Depot team
The best and most comfortable accommodation to take. The building is safe and secure. The staff is available 24x7 to help you with any problem you face. Would a 100% recommend to everyone over raking uni accomodation.
Thank you very much, we really appreciate your comment! - The Depot team
The staff are all amazing with 24/7 support and security on site. The rooms are a little expensive however any issues that I have had were resolved quickly by John the lovely maintenance man :)
Thank you very much for your lovely comment! John is indeed a professional and friendly caretaker, we are proud to have him in our team! - The Depot team
I am just disgusted by how the company treats tenants. The reception staff is amazing but management is terrible. They have no interest in being accommodating during a global pandemic. he water is disgusting and white instead of transparent and the drainage is non-existent. I would NOT recommend this property especially for foreign students who get exploited by the company. No care that they are dealing with students, all they care about is how much they can juice from each individual.
Hello, I am sorry to hear that you feel this way . In regards to the water it is not on site issue but water in South is hard and that is why you can find white stains. The Depot is very multicultural site . The team and students come from all over the world and we do not at all exploit foreign students. The Depot has been helping students since the start of the pandemic . We put many things in place to protect the tenants and the team. We would like you to come and speak to the manager so we can discuss and understand your issues as nothing like this was ever mentioned to us . Kind Regards The Depot Team
Location is very good. Shopping is very near . Depot staff is very good at helping. Manager is very friendly and supportive. I would like more social events . Studio is good size and the sun comes in . WiFi could be faster .
Covid-19: site is very clean ,social distancing information and staff is here every day and night to help us
Thank you for your comment, we really appreciate and value your opinion. Unfortunately, we have no control of the Wi-Fi, as it is our internet provider that can asisst with any issues. If you email us, we can certainly point you in the direction of who to contact for support with your Wi-Fi. - The Depot team

Covid-19: social distancing, clean site, lots of infomation and support from the staff
Thank you very much for your comment! If you email us at the.depot@studentroost.co.uk we can point you in the direction of who to contact that can assist with your Wi-Fi. - The Depot
Very well maintained accommodation . Good location and very friendly team and manager. It has been my home . The bus stop is 1 minute walk. Supermarket is very near. You can walk to the centre in few minutes.
Covid-19: Depot is kept very clean. The team has introduced social distancing so it feels safe. We are still able to collect parcels which is great .

Thank you very much for your lovely comment! This is exactly how we want our tenants to feel, like at their home :) - The Depot

extremely wifi, unable to watch even 720p video lift 360/365 days out of order keys issue took 1 month to fix rent fee increased almost 20 but quality dropped
Covid-19: nothing special but social distancing and one person in the lift (and the lift is broken) so no effort
We're sorry to hear you have not been satisfied with staying at The Depot. Our lift has been fixed and is working fine. We're unable to assist with Wi-Fi-related problems, as it's our internet provider that can help with any internet issues, we're happy to provide you with their contact details and they'll be keen to resolve any issues.

Great property, large Studio Rooms. Location is perfect and can have your own space when needed but have a great student life too.
Thank you very much for your lovely comment! We wish you the best of luck in future! - The Depot team
Since I'm living in the corner room, the atmosphere here is quite nice. The only thing that seems to be the problem occasionally is the noise from the roads. Sometimes, other occupants who use the social room with loud noise could be a little bit irritation. Othern that those mentioned factors, the accommodation is pretty nice for long living.
Manager is really friendly and caring (always wanting the best for residents), staff in the week are fantastic; weekend staff not as swift to respond. Room quite comfortable and well contained. Price is a little steep, as for nearly £300 a month I'd expect something with better running WiFi, and a more regular clean of the rooms.
Thank you for your comments and that you find that the stuff during the week meets your expectations, however we are working to improve on all areas of Customer Service with our weeked staff. Regarding rooms not kept clean regularly could you specify as to which rooms?. At The Depot as you know residents are responsible for their own cleaning of their studios. If you require someone to clean your Studio you are more that welome to have an idependant cleaner come as long as you let us know so that we can sign them into the building and give them access.
Great place to live, friendly staff, onsite maintenance is very helpful. I feel very safe here. Nice facilities love a game of pool after a long lecture and make alot of use of the study room. All rooms are studios with a modern kitchen. I've booked for my 2nd year.
Thank you for your lovely comments and we are glad to hear that you feel safe here with us and that you enjoy the social space playing pool after a hard day of work at Uni. We hope you enjoy your 2nd Year a much as you did your 1st Year!
The team are really helpful and friendly and support us with maintenance jobs quickly. It's in a great location, the study room is great and I love a game of pool to switch off after long lectures. My studio is nicely furnished and is very comfortable. I would not hesitate to book here, I love it. I have booked for my 2nd year too!
Thank you for your lovely comments glad to see that you are enjoying staying with us at the The Depot.
waiting for keys to be remade since 3 months - not joking. cannot enter building and room unless reception people help me get through. staff is okay, not always helpful. security and manager not nice. very overpriced for unhelpful staff
We are sorry to hear that you think that the Staff at the Depot are not as helpful as they could be, however am sure you have noticed that he Key issue has been resolved as fast as it could have been as we where wating for the right parts, although you might have felt frustrated that you did not have you did have access to the building and yo uour room the stuff where here to give you access to the building and your room. We are sorry to hear that you find that Security and Mnager are not up to your standards however if you woud like to discuss this further please could you come to the office.
Staff and management are friendly (security staff are incompetent!) Stress to organise WiFi from Glide. Having to wait for fobs/keys to be reset - not fair on the staff. Noisy neighbours who don't listen to the rules.
A comfortable room, but overall quite expensive with some incompetent staff.
We are sad to hear that you think our Staff is incompetant, if you would like to come down and see us in Office and tell us what we are doing wrong then we shallbe able to work on the problem and try and fix it for you.
the wifi isnt really working very well and the corridor of the floor isnt clear regularly.
We are sorry that you find the wifi does not meet your expectations however if you had come down to the office we could have advised you on steps to take which you can still do now. Regarding floors being cleaned regulalry on corridors our Housekeeper is a here part time and when she is here she does attend to cleaning the corridors.
Quite nice, just a bit expensive.
Thank you for your comment and we shall take the issue of pricing into consideration.
Turtle-slow WIFI, the reception told me to contact with provider while the provider did not do anything but asking me to provide information, and it has already taken them 1 month but nothing has been fixed yet. Very small study area
Unfortunatly Glide is a seperate company from us and therefor we cannot reslove these issues ouselves. If you require quicker wifi we recommend that you purchace a wifi booster to meet your wifi requirements.
I enjoyed my stay at the Depot so much, the staff there are helpful and responsive whenever I need something they are there to help including the night shift staff as well. The room was nice and clean, the room’s storage and closet are usefully arranged. For the students who enjoy a quiet stay, this student accommodation is totally for you.
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad that you had the support from our team 24/7 while you were staying at The Depot.
Very modern and well appointed rooms with good internet and social spaces. Staff are friendly, helpful and professional. Reception is manned 24/7 which is always convenient. Ideal location for students to go to uni or access the city and local amenities. Great place to live if you can afford it and don't mind living by yourself (you can have friends and guests over).
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you had the support from our team 24/7 while you were staying at The Depot. We always welcome guests here at The Depot and living in our self-conatned studios makes it easy to have your studio, your way!
The room is very clean and modern! It is also really close to supermarkets, the bus stop to uni and a walk away from the city centre. Really nice study spaces downstairs. :)
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you liked our quiet study area. Being near to the city centre and supermarkets makes getting snacks while studying super easy :)
Beautifully designed studio flats with an amazing location 10 minutes from the city centre and the U1 bus stop right outside! The staff are lovely and can help with any queries you may have. The apartment building is always immaculate and you can feel safe knowing there's 24/7 security. Rent tends to be more expensive than usual accommodation but its amenities make up for this; you can now choose a shorter occupancy (e.g., academic year lets or semester lets).
Thank you for your feedback! We pride ourselves in making sure all our tenants feel safe at The Depot by offering 24/7 security.
Super valuable for couples as dual occupancy available at no extra cost. Lots of activities throughout the year. Super safe. Responsible management team. Nice location as it is next to a U1 bus stop.
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you made the most of our offer of dual occupancy at no extra cost :)
Overall good if you like to luv on your own and have your own space. Social events happen often if you want to meet people in the building. Quite expensive but so close to the city which is great!
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your time at The Depot. Our social events are always good fun :)
