I lived here in first year and honestly couldn't really say anything bad about it. The room is big enough and most of the facilities work! I really enjoyed the fact that I was living with other people because it helped me make friends outside of my course as well and it's super close to the uni and anything in Dundee really. If there is a problem with anything, it's super help to get Maintenance to come in and fix it so overall I'd really recommend this accommodation.

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.

I spent my 1st year in Belmont flats, I lived there every day. As the semesters went on I found I was becoming frequently ill, only finding out when I moved out that there was mold on the pin board making me sick. There was also a constant smell of sewage, or something to do with pipes that was probably also making me sick, it has been pointed out by many people who would be in my room. A lot of beds in the accomidation were also creaky and broken when people arrived, I believe this issue should have been fixed before arrival. The kettle was broken and there was black bits constantly in the water.
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We’ve reviewed our complaints and repair log and we can’t find any record of you logging any issues with mould, your kettle or bed during your stay with us. We also checked your room and are happy to confirm that there was no mould present.
I lived here in first year and honestly couldn't really say anything bad about it. The room is big enough and most of the facilities work!

Thanks for your review. I am glad you met new friends and enjoyed your stay with us :)
DUSA events have been well organised and allowed me to meet new people
Thank you for your review. pleased to hear that you have enjoyed the events run by DUSA
my room is spacious and bright however my windows leak during storms and there was some small items left from the last tenant
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you experienced issues during the recent storms, and that we did not meet our usual high standard to clear out rooms between residents. IF not already done so, please contact the office and we shall get the maintenance team to check your window seals.
My accommodation is a great place to stay and I really like my room, bathroom, and the shared living space (kitchen/living room), which is a great size. It is a very expensive accommodation though, and the rent isn't even covered by the SAAS loan which isn't ideal.
thank you for your review and your positive comments about the accommodation. The All inclusive rent covers all bills, 24 hour staffing and ResLife and welfare support from the University
Overall, I think for the amount of money that we pay to live in our accommodation that there are definitely some improvements needed. I think we are paying more for the location rather than the accommodation itself as it is very similar if not exactly the same as other cheaper accommodations. There have been times where we are waiting for a month and a half for issues to be fixed for example one of our kitchen lights has been broken since moving in and has still yet to be fixed.
thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you have waited longer that our planned time to carry out a repair. Please contact the office and we will investigate and resolve the issue for you
flats are quite basic but generally good, would be nice if there was a building communal area to meet others.
Thank you for your review.
Belmont Flats has been a great living space so far. It is close by to everything and has a spacious kitchen.
Thanks for you review and glad you are enjoying Belmont!
it has been very cheerful and fun.
thanks for your review!
Flat mates have been lovely, a home away from home. We watch movies together and its a lovely dynamic.
thanks for your review - we are please you found Belmont Flats a home away from home!
Very nice spacious rooms with an on suite bathroom. Only issue is price and how expensive it is.
Thank you for your review. The rent includes all bills, access to the University WiFi and network connections, 24hr staffing and maintenance
Best thing is going back to my room in between lectures and having a nap, which can be done as I’m so close to campus
thanks for your review! Glad you are taking advantage of the location between lectures!
belmont flats are in a perfect distance from the campus and city center. in each flat there is six rooms and a communal kitchen. they are an ideal choice if you are an international student because of its proximity to everything.
Thank you for your review!
I love living here, I also got really lucky with my flat mates this really contributed in making my time at university enjoyable!
Thanks for your review and are enjoying living at Belmont Flats!
Overall fantastic, however sometimes the wifi drops and I wish on the ground floor the windows were frosted for more privacy
Thanks for your review
Overall a good student accommodation in comparison with others. Sometimes I feel sanctuary students are persecutory to students with no care for how the student feels if something has gone wrong, this can lead to high levels of stress when issues occur or students not reaching out to sanctuary when issues occur.
Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience as Sanctuary strive to provide excellent customer service to all our residents. We can discuss with the team going forward :)
Great for meeting people. Lovely rooms and en-suite bathroom. Big kitchen with lots of storage.
Thanks for your review
I like my flat bedroom as I’ve got a large bed and decent bathroom space, however there is a limited amount of storage within the bedroom. The social area within my flat is great with an open kitchen and 2 couches
Thanks for your review
Been a brilliant experience so far!! The social area in the kitchen provides such a good space to be able to relax and spend time with those in the kitchen - lots of room to accommodate everyone :)
I am glad you are enjoying the accommodation. Thanks for your review
Overall lovely accomodation! Is a bit on the expensive side but is in the middle of campus which makes getting to and from classes super easy.
Thanks for your review
A great sense of community with a large kitchen / common area. Rooms are lovely and maintenance is always carried out when requested.
Thanks for your review
Really love the size of the kitchen/living room area. Makes it easy to socialise with flatmates.
Glad your enjoying your flat, thanks for your review :)
Was very good as I was able to make lots of friends.
Thanks for your review I am glad you enjoyed your time at Belmont and made lots of friends :)
Good experience and a great team working to ensure functioning of the properties.
Thanks for your review I am glad you had a great experience :)
amazing time here, made friends for life
Thanks for the review I am glad you had a great experience :)
Can't complain as a student at the University, I would say it is the best and well kept flat for the money you pay.
Thank you for your review :)
This place is not a dump like iQ. I was surprised. Very nice
Thanks for your review :)
the best student accommodation on campus.
Glad you enjoyed the accommodation :)
I thought the price of £6,600 was a very high when compared to other accommodations in other cities. The washing machine service on site was inconsistent at best. For hundreds of students there was only 4 machines working at any given time. It took weeks for a broken one to be fixed. The app rarely worked as well. The flat itself was adequate. The best part of staying in Belmont was the excellent location, you were so close everywhere you had to go to such as; classes, the sports centre, DUSA, shops, pubs/clubs.
Thanks for your review :), We are sorry you had issue with the Laundry on site. We are working with our laundry provider to upgrade and improve the laundry this summer, including adding additional machines and Circuit Laundry is improving their app.
Couldn’t imagine my first year experience to be anywhere else, best staff and amazing location
I am glad you enjoyed your experience :)
mostly positive but my flat were not massively social so I found my friends through clubs/societies rooms are very spacious but i had a consistent issue with my radiator and bathroom light which is why i only gave 1 star for value for money
We are sorry to hear you had maintenance issues in your flat. We do try to resolve with a first time fix - but sometimes issues are more complex and take time to resolve. thanks for your feedback.
Has been a great experience so far!
thank you for your positive review!
Wifi went down on at least four or five occasions for a couple days at a time, flat visits to fix showers or check water were scheduled numerous times before someone actually came round. On one occasion a member of staff let themselves into my room without knocking and usually when work had been done I had muddy footprints and trash thrown into my toilet. Fans in everyone’s bathrooms, despite not working since before moving in, were not fixed until shortly before moving out. I had numerous issues with my radiator not working at all or being too hot. The rest of my problems with my accommodation were due to messy flatmates. Overall, a very expensive accommodation despite how difficult it was to actually get people to sort things out.
Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry you had several issues during your stay and that they were not resolved quickly. We strive for a first time fix, but some issues take time to resolve due to the complexity of the systems installed.
I could not have had a better flat for my first time living alone - spacious, comfortable, good resources. However, I was not fully able to enjoy the flat as I was not close with my flatmates, who otherwise were their own happy family, and so I could not relax in the lounge when I wanted and felt uncomfortable even going into the kitchen to cook. Therefore, I felt my time in the flat and the money I spent was partly wasted, not to the fault of anyone specifically but still a sad fact.
Hi - thanks for your review. We are sorry that you did not bond with your flatmates and this affected your stay with us.
On uni campus, close to city centre and shops. Friendly and helpful staff. Great accommodation overall
thank you for your review!
Good experience and close to classes and conveniently located for most things.
thank you for your review!
Couldn’t use Tv/ devices on wifi. No social areas apart from kitchen
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you were unable to use your devices on the WiFi, the University provides support through help4U@dundee.ac.uk for any connection issue and there is guidance on the website on how to connect devices through the StudentResidences WiFi
Fantastic student accommodation right next to the university, made adapting to university easier and offered social events in the Union closeby
Thank you for your review!
Most ideal location for students as it’s right on campus - so close to all the lecture buildings and the Union, practically the Center of campus. Great to meet new people as so many flats to interact with and also the Belmont tower.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Belmont
Belmont flats was excellent in terms of proximity to my morning classes, but issues brought up with the accommodation office took far too long to be resolved if at all.
thank you for your review - we are sorry that you feel that we did not resolve issues you raised with us.
I've enjoyed the 2 years I spent in Belmont, living close to the city centre:)
Thank you for your review - we are happy you have enjoyed your stay at Belmont!
Loved the location and all the flats next to eachother made it very easy to socialise on a night out :)
Thanks for your review - we are pleased you enjoyed the location of Belmont!
Belmont flats is slightly more expensive than those in the area, however i still believe it was an excellent place to stay for first year especially; it is on campus so not far from schooling at all, and most students living in this accommodation are also first year students.
thank you for your review!
Lovely place to stay for first year, lots if opportunities to socialise and make friends. Management were very helpful and kind
Thank you for your kind review!
Location is excellent, right in the centre of campus - close to all classes and University hosted social events. Flats have a kitchen/living area good for socialising, however other accommodations have common rooms that come with TV’s (Netflix included) and other amenities that make for better socialising. Most issues have been acknowledged in a timely manner, however repairs have taken slightly longer than ideal (we went just over a week without a working hob, and our extractor fan was broken for at least a fortnight). Hallways and stairwells outside the flats are cleaned once a week. Laundry is managed by an external company and has been a nightmare, there are limited facilities to begin with (5 washers and dryers for 360 students), but almost always one washer was broken. If given the option to buy a laundry card, I would highly recommend it as if there are any wifi issues the laundry app will not work - which has been a problem for 6 weeks straight.
Thank you for your review. We will take on board your comments with regards to the length of time to fix maintenance issues. The Laundry provider will be upgrading all our laundries over the summer adding an additional machines where possible and improving the way to pay for the services
Probably one of the best first-year accommodations available. Although slightly pricey, I would say it is worth the money. I think the best part is the location, it is directly across from the ISE (sport and exercise building) and super close to the student union (DUSA). Belmont flats have the reputation of being party central, and I can confirm that is pretty accurate. But it is a great way to meet more people.
Many thanks for your review and sounds like you had a great time at Belmont Flats! One of the many benefits of being in University accommodation is the friendships that you make.
Great if you have the money to spend to live on campus. Belmont Tower is a great, slightly cheaper, alternative. No cleaning provided, and the only ‘social space’ was individual living rooms/kitchens but that’s fine for hosting
Hi - thanks for your review. Belmont Tower now has social space in the form of TV room for all residents to use that is located in the ground floor of the main building and is open daily. We have installed a smart TV with a netflix account for residents to use and residents are welcome to use their own other streaming services on the TV.
It is ok in general but definitely not worth the £700 per month in rent. This includes bills, but you can find other places in Dundee where the total expenses are £200-£300 less. If you’re happy to pay £700 per month for just a room and a shared kitchen then by all means, go for Belmont. Having said that, the location is good as it is on campus and a 10-minute walk from the city centre so all the necessities are nearby. However, I would advise people considering Student Halls here to really ask themselves if paying that money is really worth it. Sanctuary Students know people won’t look elsewhere, or even consider renting with an agency or landlord, because they have moved far away and in their eyes students have nowhere else to go, so they hike up the rent prices because they know students will pay it. They don’t give a good service. They are entirely about profit.
Thanks for your review
Loved all my Flatmates, but it's so expensive in comparison to the city.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased you go on with all your flatmates. We try to ensure that the all inclusive rents are in line with other Student Halls
Great facilities, no cleaning service.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are please you feel Belmont Flats has great facilities. Although there is no cleaning service within the individual flats themselves, the laundry and common stairs are cleaned regularly
Very expensive, but good location and quite big rooms.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased you liked the location and the spacious rooms. Our all inclusive prices are competitive with other student halls and have 24/7 staffing, inclusive utility bills and access to the University Wi Fi and wired network included
Awful people. Very noisy. Over priced. No maintenance. Lack of security. Doors don't lock properly.
Hi, thanks for your review, we are sorry that you did not enjoy. We have staff available 24/7 for support and we aim to resolve any maintenance issues reported to us within a reasonable timescale. Our 24 hour contact number should be used to report any noise issues at them time. The flat front doors lock automatically when closed.
Really enjoyed my experience in Belmont, very sociable and clean. Everything was fixed as soon as their was a problem
Hi, thanks for your review, it will be a great help to other students! Glad you enjoyed your experience and received good service when there was an issue
great wifi, great location, bit of a pest problem, great staff
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, sorry to read that there was a issue with pests in your flat. We aim to deal with any issues raised as soon as possible to eradicate any unwanted pests!
I felt that the flat mentors were a bit too "clingy" for lack of a better word. However, it's in the heart of the campus and great for socialising.
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, sorry that you felt the support provided was not what you expected, but enjoyed the location for socialising !
great halls, very good for living. bad thing is there is no common room
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! Glad you found Belmont to be a great residence to live in. Each flat has a large kitchen with lounge area to allow residents to socialise.
I met some of my best friends and colluages in here. It is on campus and it is safe, secure and modern. Love love LOVE the en suite facilities!
Thank you so much for your fabulous review!
Modern, en-suites in all bedrooms - expensive but but better standard of halls that other universities
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students!
Halls has been amazing. I've loved my flat mates and I have met so many new people
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! We are pleased you found the experience of living with us amazing!
Great experience, thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Perfect location, with all the services and amenities close by. Only issue is management team and cleaners seem to lack quite a bit sometimes. Flat atmosphere depends of flatmates but generally not bad, no major issues apart from cleaning kitchen.
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! Glad you enjoyed your time at Belmont and found the location perfect with all the amenities being so close. We are sorry you felt that the team did not provide the service you were expecting
Great for your first year at uni! A bit expensive though! Although you do get you own bathroom so that is a plus!
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! All our rooms have en-suite shower rooms and all utility bills, and 24/7 staff available included in the price
-ensuite bedrooms which are a bonus -cleaner for stairwell and lift -no communal social space which would be nice for socialising -strict security (both a bonus and a downfall) -nursing students accommodated together which is great for shift and term time
