The location is very convenient, the reception is very good specially Poppy and Kiera. But they dont clean the kitchens anymore, only an inspection. There is a cinema room, 2 common rooms and study rooms. Not the most new looking building but my flat was nice. Some common places need updating.

Tramworks Biography
Staying at Tramworks means you can take a fifteen-minute walk from the University of Glasgow or a twenty-minute bus ride from Glasgow Caledonian and the University of Strathclyde. The accommodation is located in Glasgow’s West End and is surrounded by plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and nightclubs.
You can skip your gym membership as Tramworks has its very own gym. The outdoor social space, cinema and common area are ideal for hanging out with friends. For those days when you need to get work done, you can use the communal study space. For when you are feeling peckish there is a vending machine on-site or you can grab some food at the bookable dining room. There is car parking available for added convenience.
There is a choice of en-suite rooms in a shared flat, which is perfect if you are wanting to share with 4-5 friends, or you can choose to stay in a studio where you have your own bathroom and kitchen. The rooms come equipped with everything you need so all you need to do is move in and add your homey touches.

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.

Nice accommodation and the staff is quite easy-going and kind.
The location is very convenient, the reception is very good specially Poppy and Kiera. But they dont clean the kitchens anymore, only an inspection. There is a cinema room, 2 common rooms and study rooms. Not the most new looking building but my flat was nice. Some common places need updating.
Generally a good building with nice staff but perhaps a bit isolating at first as people in my flat didn’t really communicate much. The gym is good too!
Hello Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we are glad to hear you are enjoying your stay with us. We run lots of events within the property so hopefully this will help you get to know your flat mates and neighbours a bit more. If you have any ideas for events, our team would also love to hear from you :) Kind Regards Liz
The experience of living in the Tramworks flat was not very good, the flat had free breakfast for the first two years and this year it was mentioned in the check-in advertisement that there was a free breakfast (which can be verified on various rental websites), however, after the stay the flat cancelled the breakfast with no notice, and after pursuing with the receptionist they said that it was an experimental perk for the flat in the past and that this year it was cancelled. However there was no complete mention of this part in the publicity, which was very disappointing. Meanwhile, the lift in the flat has been under repair since 9.8 and has been expected to be repaired until 10.7, simply because of a missing battery...what kind of renovation speed is this, unbelievable. Meanwhile, the heating in the flat is not working very well due to the renovation, it is barely on at night when it's 7-8 degrees, so you have to use your own heating device to keep warm... Hope noone come next year
Hi I am sorry that the removal of breakfast is a disappointment to you. As the Team Member has pointed out this was part of a trial and was discontinued. I appreciate as a rebooker this may have not been noticed but it was not advertised on the website this year as a feature. I totally understand your frustration that the lift has been out of action for so long. We are frustrated too but I am told it should be repaired next week. Unfortunately the part required was not available to our lift supplier and had to be fabricated abroad. This has been done as quickly as possible but unfortunately lift repairs are out with our control. Apologies once again. Kenny
very kind, very helpful, excellent staff

I wish it would have been better if I could change the dryer and washer from one company to another, as the dryer doesn't even dry my clothes in one go, resulting in me having to pay extra for another drying! And I've asked the tenants around me and they've all had the same problem!
