I have loved staying at Tramways over my first two years in chester. All the staff are amazing and really approachable. I love chatting with Paul and Mark who are both so enthusiastic about what they do. The flats and rooms are a home away from home and have plenty of space for all our needs. I love it here and will be sad the day i have to leave.

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.

The location is perfect for a Nursing student like myself. It isn’t far from town, it’s opposite the train station, and there is a bus stop nearby to get to placements which is a big bonus for me as I don’t drive. The staff here are very helpful with anything I ask them such as anything faulty within the shared kitchen or my room - they are always quick to answer any question via email or phone. Tyler and Paul have been especially helpful and friendly and it’s always good to talk to them. The facilities here are good as well like the social space where they host a bunch of fun activities like movie nights and quiz nights.
Hi there, we're so pleased to read such a wonderful review, it's great to know our location has been so useful to you during your studies. We really appreciate your feedback on our accommodation and our wonderful team members. Many thanks - Student Roost

Hi there, thank you for the wonderful feedback on our accommodation and our team members, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Many thanks - Student Roost
My experience at this student accommodation has been outstanding, notably surpassing my previous year's stay elsewhere. The 24/7 assistance is a game-changer, and the staff, especially Paul and Tyler, are not only helpful but also incredibly friendly. The social space is great, with amenities like PS4, pool table, and table football. These facilities contribute to an enjoyable community experience. Overall, I highly recommend this accommodation for its exceptional service, friendly staff, and great communal facilities.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate the wonderful feedback regarding our team members and are so pleased you've enjoyed everything our accommodation has to offer :) Many thanks - Student Roost
Greqt social space. There's a social event almost every week. Its perfect for the train station and it's the closest accommodation to kingsway campus. Staff are friendly and helpful. Paul and Tyler are always there with a smile. I've had a great stay here.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we're so pleased you've enjoyed your time at Tramways and that you've had such a positive experience with our team members :) Many thanks - Student Roost
I have stayed at Tramways for both my first and second year of uni. Throughout my time here I have met some really amazing friends and have had a really positive experience overall. Any issues with maintenance the staff have always been so attentive and fixed it straight away. Adding to this, the facilities are excellent. I have never had any issues with the laundry and the vending machines by the social space are a nice extra. In particular, the night staff member Paul is always happy to help no matter what the time is or even just have a chat. Over the last 2 years it has been really reassuring to have the familiarity of Paul there as a friendly face, particularly when you don't always see family or friends as much living away from home. He is always willing to go above and beyond to sort out any issues that may arise, which again is really reassuring. I would highly recommend Tramways as a place to live for future students, as it has definitely benefitted my uni experience :)
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate the wonderful feedback and will be sure to pass on your comments to Paul :) Thank you for choosing to spend the last 2 years with us, we're so happy you've enjoyed your time experiencing everything Tramways has to offer. Many thanks - Student Roost
have been at tramways for my first and second year and have rebooked for my third . the room has everything i need and just the right amount of space. staff are so friendly and always on hand to help- night owls paul and tyler are my favourite. maintenance always respond quickly if i have any issues also! laundry facilities do the job and social spaces are great as well. only minor issue i have ever had is that i moved in early for my second year, and a policy i was not warned about is that there is no guarantee your flat will be deep cleaned in time for your arrival. the kitchen was dirty to the point of no return from the previous occupants and the hobs were broken. it took three days after my arrival for a cleaning crew to come. left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, so bear in mind in case you plan on arriving early.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so happy to read you've enjoyed your time with us so much you've rebooked for a third year - that is the best feedback we could ask for! We really appreciate the feedback on our wonderful team members too. I’m disappointed to read there were elements that negatively impacted your experience upon check-in. We use all resident feedback to further improve our services for current and future residents, so it is very much appreciated that you brought this to our attention. Many thanks - Student Roost
I have very mixed opinions of my times here, the night staff Tyler & Paul have always been amazing. They’re helpful & lovely to chat to. The day staff are also lovely, however my experience with the managers has been negative. I have experienced zero empathy or help when struggling with rent due to hospitalisation. (being out of work) It seems that people in shared flats have had positive experiences, however myself and other people i know in studios have not. The facilities & space that we have is not good value for money at all. I would recommend getting yourself an actual flat if you’re considering the studios as it would be much cheaper & better value for money. The social space is great, we have good facilities like the PS4, pool table & table football etc. Vending machines are great when they actually work, we have lost one this year & the other one hasn’t been working for about a month. & the washing machines are expensive & people never collect their washing on time.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your experience at Student Roost. While I’m happy to hear you have found our team members helpful and friendly, I’m disappointed to read there are other elements of your time with us that have negatively impacted your experience. We’d be keen to find out more about your experience, so we can work with our team members to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We use all resident feedback to further improve our services for current and future residents. You can contact your property directly with more information, or complete the Feedback and Complaints form on our website (www.studentroost.co.uk). Many thanks - Student Roost
Staff are very attentive and always ready to help out when there’s an issue. night staff, especially Tyler are always ready no matter the hour to help or even just for a friendly chat.

I am currently a first year student staying in Tramways accommodation, and I have to say it’s absolutely top notch!! From the quality of the rooms, to the social spaces and location convenience - everything is beyond amazing. On top of that, the staff are extremely friendly, especially Paul (who is known for amazing hot chocolates, I have yet to try them). I do want to shout out the maintenance team, as I am a very clumsy person and probably known by name by them at this point! Still the team always run to my aid, and I’d love to give the tall one a shoutout if I knew his name, always there to help and lovely to chat to! Thank you so much Tramways for making my experience that extra bit amazing, already rebooked for next year!
Tramways is a very lovely place with such lovely staff, especially Paul, what a legend⭐️
Always prompt with repairs and resolving any issues, Paul on reception is great and always willing to go the extra mile.
Paul, one of the night owls, is always so kind and is up for a chat. I always look forward to when he is on shift.
Friendly night staff aka Paul and his amazing hot chocolates
Night staff are brill! Tyler is a great help when you need it. Definitely recommend going to him if you have a problem wether that’s a maintenance issue or something else.
tyler on nights is great and extremely helpful and always have a laugh with us at night when we come down for a walk.
Have been staying here since 3 months and I have to say, the facilities are top notch. Social spaces are good as well along with great WIFI. It is a gated and monitored accommodation so there is no issue about security.
Welcoming and readily available staff, cleaning services worth the money, convenient location next to train station.
Thank you for the lovely feedback!
Totally good facilities provided here and support team you convince me
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad the team are of support to you.
Aside from the parcels being left on the ground everything else is fine and I’m satisfied with my stay here

I have thoroughly enjoyed staying at Tramways during my first year in Chester. I am a Hammond student and I feel as if the size and accommodations of a Tramways room is perfect for me to practice the dance I need to do, something I couldn’t find in any other halls. The staff are so so lovely and friendly; a special shout out to Paul who is the greatest member of staff, he will make sure you have everything sorted.
We love having the Hammond students here at Tramways, you brighten up our day! Thank you for such a lovely review and keep on dancing!
Paul is great! Lovely and chatty!
How lovely to hear! Thank you for taking the time to review us :)
Great place for first years although it is far from the main campus. Staff and management are kind and reliable
Thank you for the review, we're glad you feel comfortable here as a first year.
As a first year student, staying at Tramways has been incredibly beneficial. For location, it’s so close to town and to my campus (Queen’s Park). It is the safest and cleanest accommodation I’ve visited. Most importantly I have met my closest mates here due to Tramways, therefore I am always grateful. The staff are always welcoming and helpful which makes living here so special.
What a lovely review! We're so happy you're enjoying your time with us and thank you for your lovely words!
Best place to live! Enjoying my time here, my second year here and enjoyed it the first year so decided to stay here again. Also booked again for 3rd year as I enjoy it and feel safe here especially with my epilepsy. Paul is amazing as well! Makes the best hot chocolate and always free for a chat and makes the nights so much better when you feel down as well. Such friendly staff and always on hand to help!
Thank you for taking the time to share such a lovely review. I'm glad you feel safe here and our team can always assist. Thanks again for re-booking!
My time at tramways so far has been a very enjoyable experience. For the very reasonable price, my room is more than suitable, my bathroom is great, and my kitchen has everything I need. The biggest plus to staying here is that the prices are fixed, and very good considering the cost of living crisis. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are super happy to hear that you have everything you need. We do indeed include all bills in the price which will always stay that way! Thank you for being part of our Tramways family!
Really good, very nice place to stay and close to the station and town. Gives good exercise to the uni
Thank you for the lovely review! It certainly does get the exercise in (thank goodness we have those bike sheds!).
This is currently my 2nd year here and i have already booked my third year here. The welcoming I got on my first day was exquisite, the staff were very welcoming and very kind I already felt at home. Once I settled in, everything felt normal. I am very friendly with the night Staff, the night Staff that will have a game of pool with you, Have a great conversation with you makes my nights where I may struggle to sleep a lot easier. The managers and myself have a great friendship. Every time I pop into reception, I could have a nice chat and that will make my day. In my first year, there was an incident where I had accidentally flooded my kitchen, this caused me to be very worried and anxious about having to pay a large sum of money. However, after speaking with the staff at Tranways, they had eased my anxiousness and made sure help me and in the end I didn’t have to pay a penny. Thank you Darren/Alison/Paul/Jav and the rest of the team.
Well it certainly sound like you "made a splash" at Tramways! Thank you for the lovely review and your trust in the team shines through in your review. It's a pleasue having students like you live on site and feel safe in our communinty! Thank you & thank you for re-booking.. again!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're glad you feel comfortable here!
Tramways has been a really nice place to stay as a first year so much so I am staying here for a second year . Met some lifelong friends, constantly felt safe here. Staff helpful and friendly. Darren is amazing. Package system is really good.
What a lovely review! We'll let Darren know but we won't hear the end of it! Uni is all about making friends and we're glad Tramways has made your experience that much more enjoyable! Thank you and thank you for re-booking with us!
Everyone at the front desk is really helpful, making Tramways a truly excellent place to live. In particular, Mr. Paul is the best; he is like a member of the family. I still recall the day I arrived in the UK carrying Covid . In regards to any issue, he was always there to assist me. I am so grateful.
It's lovely to hear such wonderful feedback from our residents. Paul love's his job and it shows how much respect you all have for him. Thank you.
Such a lovely community and supportive staff, staff are really friendly and responsive , also Such a handy location too and it's too close to train station and city centre.

I have been very happy with my stay here, which is why I will be staying here again for my 2nd year. The staff are all lovely and accommodating.

A very well maintained and high quality student accommodation with excellent staff.

Some of the best times of my life
It's only just begun! Thank you for the lovely review! We're here for you all the way!
Where do I start! Tramways has been insane, the staff are the nicest people, the communal room is brill and gives students an opportunity to meet new people etc, everyone is so welcoming, always there when you need them and a great laugh, I highly recommend to anyone to go to tramways!
Where do WE start! Thank you for such a mind blowing review! Our staff love seeing everybody so happy and enjoying their university experience. Thank you for the amazing comments!
Good location and friendly staff.
being so close to the train station is super handy, and the actual accommodation is well worth the price i’ve made so many friends here, and there’s fun nights held really often!
Lovely place to live, staff are helpful and friendly.
Tramways is the absolute best accommodation for students. The staff are always willing to help. Bless them
Staff are really friendly and helpful, it’s conveniently by the train station and is close to the city centre and campuses
Great place to stay whilst studying at Chester uni. Loved being able to have the experience of sharing a student flat, without having to rent a student house. I switched from renting a student house, to here in my last year and the whole experience was better. Cleaner, staff on site at all times (didn't have to wait 2 weeks for the landlord to finally come to the house to sort something) and the biggest thing for me was having my own bathroom. Location is a little further away from the main campus, but it's fab for the train station and the city centre. Social space lacked a bit when I first moved in but they seem to have really worked on it recently so it's a lot nicer. Even through covid, tramways felt like our own town. So that helped with lockdown a lot, I felt really lucky to feel so supported by the staff and the little tramways community.
Thanks for the lovely feedback. We are on hand for all your needs!
Tramways is a nice accommodation however I do think for the value for money more could be done with the kitchens.
Thank you for your feedback, we will take this on board when refreshing the kicthens during this years change over.
Amazing facilities, nearby train station and city centre and lovely staff.
Very helpful and supportive staff. I feel completely safe living at tramways and never have any issues. I would definitely recommend and have rebooked for next year! Modern and good quality accommodation.
Very positive, lay out is lovely, staff are very friendly and always happy to help.
Amazing friendly staff, really nice accommodations, great cooking facilities 😏
Amazing staff really helpful and feels like home. ;)
Great for uni of Chester students, good place to make new friends, really friendly team!
Extremely please with my experience here at Tramways, with friendly staff and gorgeous accommodation rebooked my room for next year!
Tramways would be a whole hearted recommendation to anyone considering booking student accommodation in Chester. The space is lovely and the staff in reception will help with any situation no matter how silly it may be. Especially Amy who gave me a cream egg to write this review.
Tramways is brilliant Accomodation! It’s right next to the train station, a short 15 minute walk from town, and. 20 minute walk from Kingsway Creative Campus (UOC) The staff at Chester are always on call, and are so helpful and friendly. They always put on events that cater to everyone, from pop quiz’s to health and well being events!
Tramways is a lovely environment and the bedroom space even in a bronze is fab! The social space is ok but isn’t used by students as well as it could be. The location is great and well secure with gates and perfect distance for town and campus. The staff are very friendly and always there to help!
Such an amazing place to live, brilliant for all years of study, not just first year! Always brilliant and inclusive events each months, and a brilliant team of staff!!
Tramways team members are so friendly and always happy to help in any situation given! Overall very lovely accommodation too.
Modern, spacious flats with a relaxing feel. Quiet by day, can be noisy by night.
Great location, wasn’t spotless when I first arrived, however the WiFi is strong with nice facilities and cooperative/friendly reception staff. Accommodation is new and modern, slightly pricy but great all round.
Staff are very friendly and approachable with any queries.
Since moving here in September I have felt at home and safe which has made my uni experience much more enjoyable. The staff are lovely and helpful with any issues or problems that I have!
All of the staff are really friendly and care a lot about the residents that live here. Kitchens can often be left untidy due to residents but is no fault of tramways but is something to be aware of. Rooms are small for what you pay but do the job. Definitely one of the better student properties and very high quality for the price point. Very modern, friends have called it a miniature village haha.
I feel really safe at tramways, the staff are always lovely and willing to have a chat with you. The environment is friendly and it’s always clean. I feel Tramways is in a very good location as it’s not too far away from town or the post office.
Good events all year round, the friendliest management who go above and beyond to help with anything
Stayed here for 3 years and couldn’t fault it at all, staff are friendly, always feel safe and at home!
Good experience living with friends and security is 24 hour so I always feel safe
M- reduced contracts (£99 pw) 2 weeks into the tenancy to fill rooms - despite many remaining empty - which nobody was aware of prior L- Perfect for train as it is across the road, 15 minute walk to Queens campus, 20 (uphill) to the parkgate, fair distance from the town (shops, clubs) H- brilliant staff, chatty, answer questions, security 24/7.

Tramways is an ideal student accommodation with shops and the train station within walking distance. The staff on site are accommodating and friendly and always assist with any problems. The room itself is good value for money with lots of storage and the communal areas are always clean. I have had an amazing student experience here, and I would highly recommend Tramways to all students in all years!
Gorgeous rooms, modern and bright, great location close to the City Centre!!
It’s a great place to live, a little far from main campus though. Very near to the city center and the train station making nights out really easy
