It's my second year living here and I love it. The facilities are incredible, everything looks nice and new. The staff are amazing, always available and willing to help. Maintenance is always quick, they try and fix anything as soon as possible. Room inspections are always scheduled properly, and we're always told when to expect them, unlike some other accommodations I've stayed at. They always put on events to socialise. The location is perfect because it's close to uni, the town centre/station and Sainsbury's, so I have all I need close by. I would recommend this place to anyone.

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 Oldgate House Reviews
This accommodation is quite expensive, especially for students already managing tuition and food costs. Its central location is convenient but comes with significant downsides, including excessive noise from nearby bars and pubs. Weekends are particularly disruptive, with drunken crowds causing disturbances and littering the streets. Overall, the combination of high costs and a chaotic environment makes it less suitable for students seeking a peaceful living situation.
Hey, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We understand the outside noise can be frustrating, unfortunately this is out of our hands. If you would like to discuss this further, please email book@hellostudent.co.uk
The facilities at the Oldgate House is amazing as it is kept clean at all times and has a luxury feeling. Another good thing about this accommodation is that it is very close to the university with a a wide ranges of shops nearby such as the grocery store, boba tea shop and takeaways. Mostly importantly is has an amazing view outside my accommodation room that overlooks the busy main roads and football stadium.
Hey! Thank you for the detailed review. We are so happy you love Oldgate House just as much as we do :)

I am genuinely so pleased with Oldgate House as a student accommodation that I rebooked for the next year the day it was possible. I love the independence and privacy you get; which normally wouldn’t be the case in shared accommodation, where normally you’d share a kitchen, etc. Speaking of kitchens, I really love the kitchen you get in your studio. It comes with absolutely everything you need AND a little dining extension. The studio is quite spacious and well separated. Decorating it feels more like home, as opposed to other accommodations where really you feel like you’re staying in someone’s room and you get very little space to make it feel like your own. They host social events often and celebrate national holidays with the tenants which is so lovely! The staff are so friendly too! If there’s ever a fault in your studio the maintenance team sort everything for you quickly too. I wish I could write more but there is a character limit. I really love staying here and I’m so pleased!

Great place with lovely staff. Very welcoming and friendly and was first choice of stay frm the beginning I moved to Huddersfield and wouldn’t want to live elsewhere. Great accessibility to entertainment such as cinema room and games in common room. Sophisticated rooms which are paramount with prices (currently) and have enjoyed my stay here for 2 years. HELENA is a great deputy manager and takes care in students personal welfare as well as remaining professional at all times. She is always looking for new ways for students to enjoy their stay and always is smiling. The rest of the customer service advisors are also very kind and are always willing to help.
