The room is nice and kitchen has lits of cabinet space. The staff are nice as well. Maintenance can be a bit slow but easy to request through the app. There was a problem with the hot water and the water supply a few times usually lasting a few hours which got annoying but was fixed in a month

They'll be pleased that you find them to be helpful! We appreciate your patience with the water issues we encountered. Unfortunately this is sometimes not a simple fix, so we're thankful that you have been understanding. The good news is, we are currently working on a long term solution. We hope you enjoy the rest of your time at Chalmers Street. Kind Regards, Bex Moylan General Manager

What a lovely review! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. It's great to hear you appreciate the team and social spaces, it really does feel welcoming at Chalmers Street. We're glad that you find the location to be good for accessing the central campus - it's nice to have The Meadows just next door too. Kind Regards, Bex Moylan General Manager
The staff here are incredibly nice and understanding. The overall maintenance of the building isn’t amazing due to constant construction and a frw weeks without hot water as well as a lot of appliances breaking. The price increases are horrible but that is simply because of the cost of living crisis.
Thank you for your review of your stay at Chalmers Street. The team will be so pleased that you have recognised their efforts to provide a welcoming environment for our residents. They really are great! In regards to the ongoing maintenance, we are sorry that this has been somewhat disruptive. The works are in place to improve the overall safety of the building and wellbeing of residents, and we sincerely thank you for your patience with this. Kind Regards, Bex Moylan General Manager
Internet connection is not stable and can be better in terms of signal. The officials at reception are really friendly and helpful!
