I was studying at student hall (Gill Street North) in my first year, it is a sharing flat with en-suite rooms. I like the fact that I can keep my privacy while having chances to interact with other students in the common area. And the most important thing is about the location, it is literally just a few minute’s walk to campus! It is just a life saver when it comes to early morning classes. Also very impressive with the staffs there, all friendly and helpful.

Hi, the beds in Gill Street North are single beds 3' x 6'3" therefore single fitted sheets will be fine.
Q
Does Block A en-suite bathroom has shower curtain or shower door? and if shower curtain are they provided or we need to buy?
Also is the bed size a standard single or a bit longer than the standard ?

Hi there shower curtains are usually provided, however if you are wishing to bring your own, we suggest obtaining one which is 1.80 x 230. The single beds are standard; however, some people prefer to have a double quilt to ensure they have amply coverage during the night. We hope this provides you with ample information.

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.

Hi <Name>, Thanks so much for your review. We’re glad you had a great experience living at Gill Street North! Kind Regards, The Gill Street North Team
My accommodation is perfectly located just a 3-minute walk from campus, which makes it incredibly convenient for attending lectures and accessing university facilities. The proximity saves so much time and allows me to focus on my studies and enjoy campus life without worrying about long commutes. It’s ideal for students who want to be close to everything the university offers!
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted you had such a positive experience living at Gill Street North. Kind Regards, The Gill Street North Team
Loved the community of Gill Street North and we made it our own, however no social spaces in Gill Street North to hang. However we would go to each others flats instead or hang outside the entrance or around the campus space.

All flats do include kitchens that have dining table and chairs and a sofa to help facilitate social interactions.

All the staff are lovely it is super easy to collect post, do laundry and any problems are fixed quickly. The cleaners clean communal areas once a week, do a great job and are super lovely. Staff take our kitchen bins out regularly. it feels safe with 24/7 security, a fobbed gate, and 3 locked doors to get into my room. there are no designated social areas but the kitchens have dining room table and chairs and a sofa.

It was a lovely location to stay, centrally located and 2-5 minute walk from the university. The flats and grounds were very well managed by a team of cleaners and maintenance. It was very safe and secure by having a 24 hour security and locked gate at all times. Only downside to this is that there was not a very big social space, with on three benches spread through the whole accommodation. Perfect facilities, with loads of laundry and postal area.

Staff at reception are 50/50 some are super nice some are just there to do their job (cant blame them really) weekend night staff are icons tho, love those guys. Showers are FREEZING and wet room should be considered the entire flat, water will leak. Exctemely inaccessible (especially given i applied through disabled students accomodation and got placed on the top floor with no elevator despite mobility difficulties). windows are so hard to close so choose between your fingers or mould. Btw to the people living next to me, yes i can hear yall going at it in the middle of the night, atleast someones having fun

Staying at Gill Street North has been a convenient and comfortable experience. The location is one of its biggest advantages, as it’s just a short walk to campus and the city center. The studio layout, with a private kitchenette and en-suite bathroom, provides the perfect balance of independence and comfort, making it ideal for students who prefer privacy. The communal areas are clean and well-maintained, creating a welcoming atmosphere for socializing with fellow residents. However, the cost is on the higher side, so it’s important to budget wisely. Occasionally, noise levels can be an issue, especially on weekends, but it’s manageable with a good pair of headphones. Overall, Gill Street North offers a great living experience with modern amenities and an excellent location.
Hi, Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it here at Gill Street North! We’re really pleased you enjoyed your time living here. We also offer a range of accommodation options in the city for different budgets all within a couple of minutes walk between each other. Kind regards, The Gill Street North Team
Only issue is prices of laundry £5 roughly for a wash and dry but the machines can fit a lot in. wifi can sometimes be slow and disconnect because so many people are on it
Hi, Thanks for your feedback. We use Circuit Laundry across all our NTU properties, and the prices are defined by them directly. We will look to feedback the concern on laundry price to them. Kind regards, The Gill Street North Team
Course Quality: Overall facilities and course content is great, but lecturers seem to skip over topics quickly. Graduate Careers: NTU has a huge employability scheme to help students get careers after graduating. Accommodation: I stayed at Gill Street North Halls and the overall rooms are amazing but wifi is lacking along with high price point. Student Life: Nottingham has probably the best student life experiences within the UK with loads of activities to do within the city and many opportunities to meet people in and outside of university.
Hi, Thank you for your feedback. We’re really pleased you loved your accommodation and Nottingham City life as a student. In regards to the WiFi, we routinely invest in improving our facilities and customer feedback helps shape how we prioritise improvement in the future so thank you for you feedback. The Gill Street North Team
Cleaning was minimal - cleaners would sit on their phones If there was a problem it was fixed quickly
Thank you for providing feedback on your stay, we always strive to improve the services offered. We’re sorry to learn of the issues.
Enjoyable time living here, the facilities were not always up to par, such as the washing machines, but overall an enjoyable and relatively affordable experience
Thank you for providing feedback on your stay. The laundry and washings facilities are provided by a third-party company, who are responsible for the maintenance and servicing.
Gill Street North is a great place to start your university experience. The halls are in a great location (only 5 minutes walk from most uni buildings and the town centre), they are well maintained and have great social spaces too.
Thank you for the positive review. We really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to feed back.
As a PhD student at Nottingham Trent University, living at Gill Street North has been a game-changer for me! The accommodation is situated right on the city campus, making it incredibly convenient to access all the university facilities like the gym, library, and campus cafes. It’s also just a short walk to the city center, so everything I need is close by, whether it’s for studying or unwinding after a busy day. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, giving me plenty of space to organize my work, and the regular cleaning services keep everything in top shape. The facilities provided are excellent and make life as a student so much easier. Plus, the value for money is fantastic – the quality you get for the price is exceptional. For any PhD or postgraduate student at Nottingham Trent, I can’t recommend Gill Street North enough!
That's great to hear! We're happy to hear you made the right choice with accommodation.
A very mixed bag. The location is close to the City campus - and therefore close to the trams, buses, the city centre, student union, etc. - and there's a good sense of community thanks to the courtyard in the middle of the complex. Internet speeds are more than plenty for the vast majority of people (500/400Mbps down/up w/Ethernet), and the rooms are quite cosy once you get set up. Reception staff are friendly and always willing to help - one staff member helped a friend of mine get to A&E. The rent is ludicrous for what you get. A shower curtain means you'll regularly be fighting against it in the shower whilst you half flood the bathroom floor, I've seen silverfish a handful of times in my bathroom and heard reports of them being in other blocks to worse extents, and I currently have a leaky pipe in my roof. The kitchens and cupboards are perpetually warm, which is concerning in a place where food is stored. It's nice here, the rent just needs to come down a bit.
Thank you for the review! We take all feedback onboard to improve our services. Should you experience any issues, please do not hesitate to report them via the Homes at Hall App or to reception, who will be more than happy to help.
It's really good accommodation, the cleaning help comes every week and with the home at halls app any problems are solved within a day making life so much easier and it's a 5 minute walk to city centre which is amazing for places to shop and eat, it's also close to the architecture course buildings which makes it easy to get to
We're pleased to hear you've made the right choice in accommodation and enjoying your stay. Thanks for the kind words and positive review. Reviews help us to maintain and improve our services.
It's in a brilliantly placed location.
We're pleased you're enjoying your stay here. Thank you for the review; much appreciated.
I’ve had a good experience sharing a flat with six people. They are all friendly and it’s been easy to share the space together. Our kitchen is good with all the utilities you could need. My room is nice and comfortable, with big desk space, decent bed and nice bathroom & shower.
That’s great news! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to leave a review.
The cleaners are often lazy, not bothering to carry the bins past our corridor but on the whole do a good job. The location is excellent, right in the centre of campus, but would be nice to have a common room of some kind
Thank you for taking time to leave your feedback. We strive to always improve on services offered.
Fine accommodation in excellent location. As student accommodation goes it was pretty good.
Being in a flat of 8 has been so perfect, not too crowded but have been able to make great friends in my flat and the rest of the accommodation :)
Gill street north is a very social accommodation in a great location, I would recommend it!
Gill street is good in terms of being close to shops but it can get pretty loud at midnight due to parties and just people messing around
My favorite thing about my accommodation is how close it is to the campus and to the city center as well. Also, how friendly and helpful the staff is. I live in a studio and the space is larger that I thought and I have all the facilities I need. The only problem for me is that the wall are a bit thin, so I can always hear my neighbors across the wall.
It’s okay. Rooms are quite nice but the en-suite is very very tiny & the shower head is attached to the ceiling & can’t be moved or taken down which isn’t the best. The kitchen is ugly and fairly old. Which some people might be fine with, everything works fine. It’s a very very noisy accommodation so buy earplugs.
Good accom, really near city centre
Really enjoyed my time at gill street north, security and maintenance are really friendly
University halls are slightly expensive but are more involved with freshers week due to the help from fresher reps.
Not worth the money, if it was upgraded and updated then maybe
Great place, just not worth the money what so ever
Location is pretty good. However it’s pretty basic and gross, and depending on what flat you pick within the accomodation you will either get a basic kitchen with a table or a kitchen with a sofa, table and island even though you are all paying the same money. The rooms can also range depending on who stayed in it before you. For example, my carpet is covered in stains and I have holes in some walls. The hall management is pretty mediocre, if you make a noise complaint they rarely go and check it out. Equally, one time I rang and got rude response and shouted at down the phone by an old bald man, who is also rude to anyone who enters the reception area. WiFi is pretty good, bit of a pain to add devices. Pretty expensive for what you get, so you are probably more paying for the location. Save your money and get a decent flat with some mates in the second year.
Too expensive for what you get Outdated decor
Very convenient place to live as is only a 2 minute walk to the city site in Nottingham. Only problem is the issues we had with the boiler which caused us all in my flat to have freezing cold showers for about 3weeks until the staff figured out what was wrong with it :/ The response to issues gets better as the term progresses and it is a good place to stay if studying at the city site, just very expensive for what is available! This is the same for most city campus accommodation though!
Spent an awesome year here, had so much fun with the flat I have, staff are really friendly and do as much to help.
Rooms are of a decent size with ensuit. Kitchen is small for six people with little social space and several problems before we moved it in such as broken fan and grill. Not cleaned to a high standard for the money the halls costs
Great social experience, and great location. However a lack of socialising space is a shame
I moved in after Christmas and I was welcomed by all the staff who were happy to help and always wanted to know I was getting on okay; location is also ideal
Gill street have a fantastic team of staff that are always on site, they will help you with anything you need. For what you pay a week shouldn't be that price for what it is, it should be less. The kitchen areas are alright, just having hard wooden seats or plastic chairs is annoying after a while, needs to have mini sofas or something. Overall its decent, good location for the uni. just the furniture could be a little better
Great location and sociable halls, good facilities and management but could be improved with more communal areas
Great place for socialising, all the people here are very nice.
An amazing place to live for your first year at Trent, location is insanely close and even though it's private accomodation, you are fully included in everything that goes on
Although yes Gill Street is located in a great area for everything, I think we pay too much for what we are getting. Of course we each have en suit bathrooms but there is no social area, simply just the kitchen which isn't exactly comfortable. Along with the beds, I had to go to the doctors due to the pain I was experiencing sleeping in the beds and currently on back pain relief medication. Luckily, being an art student, there's weeks where I have to isolate myself in my room and my block is very quiet but I think the social area desperately needs improving for future students! Other than that, I like with very respectable people and that experience has been fine, just a few tweaks but I definitely believe we should be paying less.
The location is very good, near the uni but far enough from the crowd. Residence is very quiet and the staff is very friendly.
Compared to other halls Gill street is very expensive for the little you get i.e no sofas or TV - which a lot of my friends have for cheaper. The wifi is also rubbish. However everything else is great especially location and I would still recommend to future students.
Very good maintenance but very expensive for what it is
Way too expensive for what you get, not worth the money at all. Cleaning is good, but cleaners are too noisy - on their phone shouting in the morning. Right near city centre so a 5 minute walk from everything you need. Only social experience you get is in freshers, even then, the reps are annoying and you pretty much stay in your block, or just your floor.
basic accomodation, getting old in places could benefit from updates/deep clean. (stairway to flats in particular)
