Really friendly staff, Sean along with their team work really hard to make sure everything runs smoothly. Maintenance staff are efficient and see to any issues that arise quickly. Rosamond House is close to most MMU buildings which is really handy.

There are weekly common room inspections and maintenance staff don’t tend to knock - despite that, no other serious issues. The reception staff are beyond delightful and always so, so helpful. You get to access the amenities of other Unite Students buildings like gyms, cinema rooms, etc, so there’s an added value for money there. Overall pretty decent!
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are happy that you are enjoying your stay with us at Rosamond House. In regards to our communal kitchen inspections, these are emailed to be done weekly so that we can prevent fire hazards and help with maintaining a safe living environment. In regards to maintenance not knocking, we will be sure to speak to our maintenance team, please come down to the reception or contact us if this ever occurs again. Any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to us. Kind regards, Chloe, Rosamond House.
I really enjoyed living , a very great experience
Given the higher costs of manchester accomodation, this is pretty good value for money. Its deffinitely one of the better ones for a lower price range, and I've found it good for privacy as the flats are only 4 person and its the cheapest I could find with ensuite. Its an extremely convinient location. Reception staff are nice, though reception is not open 24/7 as advertised- they seem to be understaffed. Maintenance have been pretty un-disruptive for me and solve problems fast, though I have heared they spend a lot of time in some of the other blocks in the accomodation and can be quite disruptive there. I have not engaged in many of the community events though I hear they are friendly. We have no common room so events are held elsewhere. I would say these flats have a lower likelyhood of being used as party flats than many other flats in manchester. Overall my expirience has been decent. I would reccomend them if you are looking for cheap ensuite flats and a decent accomodation.
Really nice and close to campus, the rooms are slightly dated and the TVs are something that belong in a museum but how close it is to Uni and how it does what is said on the tin
I have loved it here for the time I have spent living in my room, I got the premium room with a double bed and it was such good value for my money!! the rooms are pretty soundproof, I had a flatmate who loved to blast his music, and you could hear it in the hallways, but once you got into your room it was basically like it was not there! the kitchen and bathrooms are nice, and I just love it so much, I wish I didn’t have to move out!!!
Hi there! Thank you for making the time to leave us a review for Parkway Gate, we value all feedback so it's great to see! We love to hear that you enjoyed your stay, it's why we do what we do. Thank you so much for leaving us your review! The New Medlock House Team
The accommodation is typical of a UK uni accommodation, there is nothing special and it’s alright if you keep your expectations realistic. What’s great about it is that we do get en-suites for a good price though. The wifi is fairly decent with only a couple hiccups here and there too. There aren’t any social spaces such as a common room or any pool/football tables either which is disappointing, and bathrooms only have either a boiling hot or freezing cold tap with no mixer. On a positive note, whenever I have gone to collect a parcel all the staff members there have been lovely and I’ve never had any issues with them.
If possible, I would still choose to live in Rosamond House for the other academic years.
The room wasn’t clean at all when I moved in (desk was dirty, carpet was dirty and there was hair all in the shower), mould in the shower that they just painted over and then left paint marks everywhere too, the bathrooms are tiny and have cracked tiles. Also always get emails about inspections but they never actually happen and maintenance people say they’ll come at one time and then come days later. The corridors also stink and are never cleaned. The buildings right outside MMU, the rooms a nice size the desk is huge and the Wi-Fi does the job. That’s about it
First day of moving in their where marks all over my wall, there still is 5 months later… my Shower definitely was not cleaned properly and it’s disgusting.. mould is there still. Got mold also in corner of the bathroom. Had many problems with kitchen facilities having to be replaced etc.. it’s like there is always something wrong a every day. I would say staff are very friendly and helpful but just can’t see over how the flat is always got issues. Nice sized room and en-suite for what we are paying.
Hello, Thank you for your feedback, I am really sorry to hear that you have had issues in your room and you are still experiencing some of them now, we always want to make sure that our flats are up to a gold standard and I am sorry that yours hasn't hit this mark. Please would you be able to get in touch with us either via email on rosamondhouse-Manchester@unitestudents.com or by popping by reception with what is still outstanding in your flat and the team and I will make sure we do everything we can to get it fixed for you! Sincerely, thank you for your feedback we use this to improve our service whereever possible. Many Thanks, Rosamond House Team
For the most part it has been a really good accommodation and well priced in comparison to other accommodations. The staff are all friendly and found both Shaun and Andy to be particularly helpful. Would be nicer if the reception was open at the times it says it’s open and a few maintenance requests such as to fix the TV or change a lightbulb were ignored, however the location is very convenient and the rooms and flats are nice - also great WIFI
Hello! Thank you for your feeback, I will pass on your kind words to Andy and the team! We really appreciate it, and thank you for letting us know about your thoughts about our opening times. We will take this feeback onboard as we are aware we are having to close infrequently at different times for the team onsite to respond to emergencies at some of our other buildings. We do try to minimise disruption to the daily bunsiness so students like yourselves always have access to us and the office facilities. Also, if you would report these maintenance issues again I will ensure they are looked at! Once again thank you for your feedback and we hope you have a great rest of your day! Many Thanks, Rosamond House Team
Perfectly fine experience. Andy is good.
Really friendly staff, Sean along with their team work really hard to make sure everything runs smoothly. Maintenance staff are efficient and see to any issues that arise quickly. Rosamond House is close to most MMU buildings which is really handy.

Have a great rest of your day! Many Thanks, Rosamond House Team
It’s a nice place for first year of uni as you have your own bathroom and not so many flatmates. It’s perfect if you’re at Manchester Met as it’s just across the road from campus. Staff are mostly lovely, but often the reception is closed.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your stay with us and that you like your room, and that you like the team! We are looking into making sure the office is open 24/7, unfortantely we have had to close the office up over the past few months for a few hours at a time due to emergencies! As much as we cannot stop them from happening we are implementing ways to ensure that closing Rosamond House happens less and less! We hope you enjoy the rest of your year with us! Have a great day! Many Thanks, Rosamond House Team
Had lots of issues with my flat took a very long time to get sorted. Had to go to the head of accommodation for the uni to get me out of there
Dirty room when moving in (dirty floor, tape on the walls, bascially obviously not cleaned before i arrived) Missing or broken facilities when moving in (broken extractor fan, missing toilet roll holder etc) After 2 weeks of moving in reception decided to shut for over a week without giving notice (albeit not by the fault of the staff, they are understaffed) making it impossible to get packages Clothes washing facilities constantly broken Put a maintenance request in for my broken extractor fan and it still hasnt been fixed (was over a month ago so am basically just living with black mould at this point) Complained to Unite students about all of this and never got a reply (again been over a month without one) Only benefit of living here is the amazing WiFi speed. Living under a bridge with a WiFi router would be easier
Hello, We hope you are doing well! I am sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience with us at Rosamond House so far, and we would like to apologise that your room was not up to the standard that we expect them to be and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Would you be able to contact the reception directly on rosamondhouse-manchester@unitestudents.com if there are any outstanding issues that you are facing as we would like to set this right for you and ensure that the remainder of your time with us at Rosamond House is up to the gold standard that we expect and endavour to provide! Going forward we would like to let you know that Rosamond House is fully staffed and is open 24/7 and we are committed to make sure that we do not close the office unless absolutely necessary now, and if there are planned closures that we are letting all of our students know with as much notice as possible! Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help! Many Thanks, Rosamond House Team
Social is ok but still rather dry Flats mainly single and poor standard Wife horrific u rather use 3G Noise is here rent free in ur head Don’t give rent back
Rosamond House has been a joy to live at. While there are no social spaces (common room), when time allows, there are plenty of flat parties. There is also a group chat on Facebook, which has been really useful in building a social experience. The accommodation itself is hygienic, clean and cozy. Each room comes with an en-suite which, whilst small, is still an appropriate size. I've never had any issues with the WiFi, and the maintenance team have been on the ball when I've encountered any problems. I highly recommend Rosamond House based on my personal experience.
It’s in a good location and the reception staff are really nice & do want to help you but honestly, it’s overpriced and not good. There’s no communal area at all, no lift to get to the third floor, the internet is absolutely terrible, it was off for a week at one point right around coursework submission time so everyone had to go to the MMU library (which is always overcrowded as it is) to do their work. It went off several times for days at a time throughout my stay. There were also a lot of problems with things being faulty and needing fixing when I moved in. However, if you’re willing to put up with all of this, it’s cheaper than the other en suite locations and the location itself is really convenient.
One of the best accoms I’ve ever seen and is amazing value for money
Extremely close to university so it is only a short walk to campus. The halls themselves are newly refurbished and well maintained.
Appalling, management lost parcels all the time, provided no support or security, regular security issues, things often broken and not fixed
I’ve only been living here a couple of months but so far I’m really enjoying it! It’s been recently refurbished so the rooms are all nice and modern and the kitchen is really nice! I’m in the premium room and it’s so spacious and there is loads of wardrobe space and a full length mirror! I have given the social side 4 stars because you can only stay with 4 people and there are no communal spaces for the whole building to use and socialise in you just have to put yourself out there and go to the flat party’s etc to meet the people in your building. There are no cleaners which is fine but our flat didn’t have all the cleaning equipment it was supposed to have such as a brush. The WiFi is usually good but sometimes at night it can get abit slow when everybody’s trying to use it! It’s in a really good location for any building your in for lectures and it only takes 20 mins to walk up to the northern quarter but there is a bus stop right outside if you don’t want to walk!
Affordable accommodation for universtiy
Horrible halls. Scruffy and no cleaners. By the end of the year there were flies everywhere inside the building
Great reception and caretaker team, quick to fix issued and very helpful. No common room and the layout of the halls means that there isn't as much of a social life between residents in other buildings.
Awful and expensive. Not happy
Tiny room but good price ans good location. A bit noisy in early morning
If you have the choice and the time, do not waste your money on this accommodation. Yes it is near to the university etc, but it will be a waste of your money. Caretakers are not helpful, considerate or kind. Cleaning? They do not do regular checks on this nor clean for you which is fine, but for the amount you pay, not worth it. It really depends on your flatmates too and whether they are clean or not. I am a very clean person and my room is spotless yet I have an issue with fruit flies and insects. If you do not mind them, then this accommodation is fine for you. But if you have a phobia, like me, do not even bother coming here. Choose something more cleaner from the outside and inside. This is the worst accommodation I have stayed at. Reception staff are helpful and nice but at the end of the day, if you keep hassling them like I do, they don't like you. It's their job to deal with any issues you have. But the caretakers (even though they get paid) are inconsiderate
I was lonely, isolated and it didn’t offer a community. If you didn’t get on well with your house mates (or if they just weren’t around like mine) you are on your own. There should be a group communal space where all flats can interact and have a chance to make more friends
Do not live here. It is awful. £127.50 a week is NOT justified whatsoever in these halls. There is constantly workmen in, yet nothing ever works. The WiFi often goes off, we had to bring our own television as the one provided was terrible. We also had to buy our own bin as one was never provided for us. Every flat has different furniture, and so is unfair as our flat has terrible sofas that are so uncomfortable, yet a friend of mine has very comfortable sofas. Overall I would never recommend this accommodation to anyone. The price is not even worth paying considering how close it is to the university buildings.
I loved living in liberty, made lots of friends and felt very secure. Less than 5 minute walk to the Uni. Very social, there is always something going on, it is also just located by the Union which is handy. You will for sure make friends here
i had a really good time living in liberty! The staff are very friendly and maintenance are always around if you need them. Wifi is pretty good. Room, bathroom and lounge is good for what you pay for. Great location to be sociable and make lots of new friend! Would recommend!
Halls is what you make of it yourself and the people around you, if you’re social you’ll have a better time
Not very good at all. Firstly the social area/kitchen is not good at all, the sofa honestly looked like it had been brought in from the street, ripped and not the right cushions on it. TV is tiny and positioned at the other side of the room so from the sofa you can't see it. The kitchen is ok and there is enough storage for the four of us but the worktop feels cheap and has come off in some places. Moving into the rooms it doesn't look like they have been recently furnished at all, disgusting green carpets and the desk, even though it's quite big, doesn't look very nice. My door is slightly loose as well so if I have the window open it bangs even when closed. Moving on to the window I'm not sure if it is double glazed or not but the sound insulation is non-existent, the road noise is really bad. The bathrooms are ok but I've had a few problems with the shower on/off button sticking. The internet is pretty good. On moving in day they didn't provide parking. Overall I'd say avoid.
