It was a really lovely place to stay at, as less than 30 people lived in the building, everyone knew everyone. Well furnished and cleaned, the kitchen is spacious and a good social space. The WiFi from my phone often disconnected though but that’s more of an eduroam problem than the hall’s fault. Overall it was a 5-star experience, especially for the money.

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.

management is poor, complained about laundry room services, cause there is no laundry room in this hall. but the reception stuff just keep telling me that I need to walk to Cartwright Court to do my laundry, which means I need to walk about 15 minutes while carrying my clothes.
Worth the price
Lovely hall with lovely people so much space in the kitchen and bedrooms. Opposite dominos and other foody places 5 minute walk from anywhere!
Great small halls, 10/10 location (better than talybont). Only social space is kitchens (no sofas or anything) but big rooms and desks and good storage.
best place ever, all 6 houses got togeethr and we all become great friends
Great location, on a street full of fast foods and restaurants. Close enough to the biggest/cheapest groceries and to university (10-15 mins walking). Rooms are big enough and very well furnished. On the other hand, the social space is a kitchen and all the parties happen there (which is a bit limiting). Kitchen is big and good though. Be carefull with thieves and robbers if you live ground floor or if you own a bycicle. Great social experience becuase you know every student in there (there are 30 of us) and you'll be likely to get a second-year house with some of them.
Great hall, very cheap. Does the job.
ROY ROCKS!
