Student Review: 3 /5
By member5109486 On 23rd May 24 verified Verified student

Management is terrible, higher ups making constant bad decisions and with the recent decision with changing £30 A WEEK for “storage” for keeping my items in my room for month and coming back is insane. I don’t know if it’s them trying to make up for losses in revenue due to less university students internationally or what but there is no real reason. What? Will they clean my items for me and start making sure they’re shining while I’m away. I don’t understand the added cost a week at all. HR is terrible.

Fantastic friendly staff, great value for money and quick resolution of any problems. Rooms are clean, and cleaning service for shared spaces every two weeks. Just missing Netflix/streaming services on the TV's to be a full 5 stars

Absolutely brilliant. Staff are amazing so friendly. A few things with the new flats are not so great. Only space for three people in a freezer, no individual light above bed and less sockets. But overall, very very good.

Very helpful reception staff, easy to talk to and resolve issues well. Communal areas of flats are cleaned every two weeks so shared spaces are always clean. I've really enjoyed living here :)

Dave and Chelsea are amazing employees who have helped my wellbeing during my stay in huddersfield. Lela and Nicola are friendly and hardworking employees who ensure cleaning throughout the accommodation. Ray, Clair and Rob have always ensured my maintenance jobs are completed the following day.

I have really enjoyed the new revamped rooms, they look brighter and the kitchen space is lovely! A lot of storage spaces in my room! In the kitchen, storage space is comfortable for 4 people but for 6 people, it might be a bit cramped. The accommodation is only 5-7 minutes from my lecture rooms so it’s very convenient.

Good accommodation generally, but I have encountered a few problems and mistakes that should never have been made. It is an old building so can be quite noisy sometimes, but if you have any complaints or concerns the reception staff and security are lovely and will always strive to help you as best they can. I may have just been unlucky but I have encountered several problems that were simple human errors made by whoever allocates flats, but other than that Snow Island is good.

Perfect place to stay! Love Snow Island, the staff are so friendly, the housekeepers are constantly cleaning and ensuring the place is kept up to an appropriate standard. The social spaces are great and everyone is so helpful. Maintenance is done quickly and efficiently. The staff on the desk always make time for you and ensure you feel comfortable. It can be made very homely!

Lived here for 2 years now. First year the acommodation was under another company's name and actually had fairly caring members of staff in reception. Now, there is no bother to help the people who live there, like we aren't actual people. The location, the wifi are decent. There is a lot of noise outside if you live in a room that'a windows face the inner area of the acommodation, so you will pretty much wake up every now and then from people yelling drunk at 4 in the morning. Everywhere you walk is cracking, so your neighbour upstairs will constantly annoy you. The cleaning here barely gets done, and both cleaning staff and maintenance will take your own equipment in the kitchen to clean up despite being provided their own. They see no fault in this. There is no cleaning or maintenance done before you move into your flat, that will come in roughly when the cleaner is supposed to be doing their shift, so this year we had to move in and back out until our kitchen was properly cleaned.
