Great location as everything you need is within walking distance. Lovely modern kitchens and rooms with nice views and en-suites as seen in pictures. Building is managed and taken care of very well. Security is here every night from 9pm-4am. Staff are lovely and always organising parties or coffee mornings, giveaways etc. Easy to pay rent online and easy to arrange payments to align with student maintenance loans. Have rebooked for my second year.

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.

Loved it. Friendly staff. Great social events. Close to town and Plymouth Uni. I felt really looked after.
Best experience! Lots of friends to meet and events.
It is so nice to hear that you been able to make lots of friends here, we do like to put on regular events so you can continue to enjoy freebees but also meeting other residents.
As an international student I have had nothing but an amazing experience living with saltwater place, the staff are absolutely amazing and very friendly.
This is fantastic to hear, it can be daunting moving to a new place and we are glad we could offer you a friendly and amazing experience :)

Hi, thank you so much for such a lovely and in depth review. It is great to hear that you appreicate the hard work of the staff, and we are very happy to have you here again for your second year. Hopefully lots more memories will be made!
They have a very supportive team. Great amenities. Modern design. Thriving student community.
Thank you for the review, we are glad to hear you feel supported and that there is a great sense of community :)
I can't say enough good things about the property management team here. From day one, they've been incredibly responsive and proactive about addressing any concerns or issues I've had. One of the standout aspects of their service is their lightning-fast response time. Whenever I've reported a maintenance issue, they've had a team member on-site the very next day to assess and fix the problem. It's truly impressive how efficiently they operate. Not only are they quick to resolve issues, but they also do so with a friendly and professional attitude. It's clear that they genuinely care about the well-being and satisfaction of their residents.
What a lovely review, thank you so much. We really do care about our students and always want to help where we can to ensure everyone is happy living here. It is lovely to know that this is being noticed :)
The staff are all friendly and always happy to help if you have any issues. The building and rooms are spacious compared to other student accomodation I've stayed at in Plymouth including being well insulated and warm. Maintenance are quick to fix any issues that arise and so that never becomes an issue. My only feedback would be if there was communal flat kitchen/hallway cleans fortnightly to help keep on top of it as other student accomodation offers this.
We love to see such a nice review, thank you! We are lucky to have a lovely accomodation with modern and bright rooms. Thank you for the feedback, unfortuantely we don't have the resourses to clean the flat kitchens and hallways, Tracy is always working so hard to keep the rest of the accomodation clean.
The staff here are Lovelyyyy!!! They are easy to talk to and they are really eager to sort out the issues promptly! Very Kind and can talk about other things! The accommodation is very nice and worth the money definitely!!
Our favourite part of the job is chatting with our residents, you can always come down to have a chat and grab a hot drink, especially at Tracy's monthly tea and chat drop ins.
Amazing staff, one of the best student friendly places to live in Plymouth, location is excellent being minutes away from the sea and the town centre with great transport links down the road! Would recommend highly!
Thank you so much :) We are very lucky to live so close to the sea! It's great to just pop up the road and sit overlooking Plymouth Sound.
Absolutely love living here, fully recommend for student looking to live outside of dorms so much chance for social interaction and they do lots of freebies which is perfect for students
We love to hear that you are enjoying staying here and thank you for reccomending us! We really do give away a lot of goodies, in two weeks we are giving away baked goods from the local bakery!
Situated in the nicest part of Plymouth, central to the city centre, university and coastal area (The Hoe), great for people who like frequent walks/ swims near the sea. New and clean atmosphere within the building. Stayed here for 2 years and made some great friends all thanks to saltwater.
Thank you for staying with us, you were the first to live in the building since opening and it is great that you wanted to stay again. It is heatwarming to know you were able to make some really great friends!
Most things are good, but there are some technical/electronic issues and it takes a really long time to fix them.
Hey, thank you for the review, we are sorry to hear that you are having some technical issues. Please come to reception so we can help support you.
Pros: Is the best located accommodation in Plymouth. Only 10 minutes away from the Hoe and sea, 15 min walk to University, payed gym is right outside, the nightclubs are around the corner along with a Theatre, it's 5 min away from Tesco and if you want to go larger shopping 8 min away from the shopping centre and bus stops. Staff ( specifically Sophie, Su, Tracy and Mac) have been truly amazing not only very friendly and switch on, willing to help with anything. Rooms are comfortable, on the small side but they have a modern aesthetic, good lighting and big bed. Adjacent bathroom all to yourself, bit small but efficient. Shared kitchen is big with nice view, not enough seating and window locks break. Fast WiFi and ethernet. Facilities are okay, the hub is filled with games such as football table, table tennis, TV's and Xbox games + others. Easy access to laundry and bin storage. Cons: gets unbearably hot during summer in room, difficult connecting to WiFi, no parcel pickup on weekend
Thank you for such an in depth review, you have highlighted some really great things about Saltwater Place! We have to agree that we are in an amazing spot, like you say; perfect for everyone. It is always great to hear that the team are doing a great job supporting the students.
Saltwater place is undoubtedly the best student accommodation in Plymouth. The facilities are excellent and new. The rooms are modern and lovely.
Wow, what a great summary of the accomodation, thank you so much :)
In comparison to other student accommodations saltwater place stands out massively, cleaner, sleeker and overall a better experience than many others in Plymouth.
Thank you so much for such a great review. It is so nice to hear that Tracy's hard work keeping the accomodation clean is being noticed.
The exceptionally fast Wi-Fi and incredibly friendly staff, make this place ideal for those on a budget. The staff is amazing, always ready to help, and the place is consistently clean. Highly recommended for a good time, with frequent events featuring drinks and food, making it perfect for any student. The location is close to the city centre and just a 12.46-minute walk from the University, offering great views from high-level rooms beside the Hoe. The communal area is impressive, and the gym group is conveniently located nearby. If you don't mind a somewhat walk to the University but desire well-furnished rooms akin to hotels, this is an excellent choice. Saltwater is also worth considering, with its perfect location just 10 minutes away from the University and next to the Hoe.
We love to hear such positive feedback about the staff, we really do have an amazing team here. Every single one of us cares about the students and wants to make your stay here great, and it is lovely to know we have acheived this :) We have another give away in two weeks from the bakery!!
Perfect location, lovely staff, would recommend
Thank you for the review! It is great to know you would recommend us
Great reception team, friendly and personable. Namely Sarah, Su and Max. Social event are great once again. I believe though the pricing is fair this year, next year the increase in rent makes living here unsustainable going forward.
Thank you for saying such nice things about the team, it is always lovely to know. Sadly the pricing everywhere is going up, we have made sure we are within the same price bracket as the other accomodations.
it’s a good place. I would suggest maybe adjusting the windows. And the sink area is too small for 4 people to share with
Hey, thank you for the feedback, we would like to know more about your suggestions to see if we can help improve anything. The sink size is standard so I am unsure if there is anything we can change there, our advice is to keep ontop of washing the dishes and putting them away,
Wifi really fast. Staff really friendly especially the receptionist Su, but all staff are awesome. Location close to city centre and a 12.46min walk from the Uni. Right next to the Hoe and great views from high-level rooms on both sides. Communal area is pretty good. Gym group is right behind the accommodation so really close to the gym. So overall really good place if you are on a mid-budget but would like really furnished rooms (rooms are like hotels) and don't mind the somewhat walk to the University.
Thank you for the review, Su really is great and it will be sad to say goodbye to him in August, we will make sure to find someone equally as amazing!
Saltwater is worth every penny, the location is perfect, 10 mins away from uno and right next too the Hoe. Located near shops aswell so weekly shops are easy. The staff is amazing, they all help with anything and address any concerns. Always sparkly clean. I recommend saltwater too anyone who wants too have a good time . We have events often with drinks and food. Just perfect for any student.
Wow what an amazing review, thank you so much! The team always do a great job, we are lucky to have them and Tracy is next level when it comes to keeping the place gleaming! We have a few events coming up at the end of this month so keep and eye out on our events board!
Great Staff!!!! All so friendly and at hand to help. (Especially when you forget you key) Very satisfied
We love to hear that you are getting a great experience and that we can come to your rescue when you're locked out!
Really helpful staff, good facilities
Love this, thank you :)
Saltwater Place is great. Sarah and the staff who work alongside her are so kind and approachable. I always feel like I can go downstairs to reception with any problem I may have and it be taken on board thoughtfully.
What a lovely review about our team! We will always offer a listening ear and we are happy to know that you feel you can come to us for anything! It can be hard when being away from home and we want to make sure everyone feels welcome!
The accommodation is literally perfect, the rooms are so nice and aesthetically pleasing and there have very nice communal spaces with game consoles and all. I haven’t had any bad experience with the accomodation, the staffs I’ve met like Su and Sarah have been very helpful
Woah! Perfect! That is a great way to be summed up! It is nice to know you make use of our communcal spaces, we do have some great consoles here.
A generally disappointing start to my time at Salt Water place. Laundry room in my block that was promised on my initial tour of the accommodation has broken with no signs of being fixed. The Gym doesn't exist. Parcels can't be picked up/dropped off on weekends or evenings so makes amazon shopping very hard due to parcels being left completely unattended. Fire extinguishers were removed from the communal corridors and haven't been replaced? There is little to no air flow in the rooms. The windows can only open a few inches leaving rooms feeling like saunas with spikes of 30°C on a sunny day. Good central location but my average night's sleep is accompanied by obnoxiously loud karaoke from the neighboring pub into the early hours. Some staff can be quite dismissive and unapproachable at times. WiFi excellent when plugged in via Ethernet but can struggle with phone connection. Very expensive for what you get - doesn't really feel like "Luxury Living" to me.
Move in system was great and the rooms are perfect, nice accommodation for uni.
Good experience living at Saltwater, would definitely recommend to other students.
Amazing experience! Staff were lovely and very welcoming. The accommodation location is in the perfect part of Plymouth for students with such good value for money
The best accommodation in town
A great modern accommodation, close to the hoe. Amazing views. Always lots of events and freebies!
Good room size, fast internet, good location, friendly and helpful staffs.
The staff's are friendly and very helpful. Maintenance man is the funniest, friendliest and always going above and beyond.
great accommodation to live in!
It has a lovely refreshing atmosphere, with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are amazing and spacious. The feeling is unmatched one of the best places I've ever lived in.
Wifi was broken for hot minute
It’s amazing, the staff are absolutely great. I can’t recommend it enough.
Amazing staff Jodie and Su are always friendly and happy to help. The accommodations location is amazing and close to the hoe. There is always lots of events to get involved with.
Thank you for the review of the staff and events, we do have lots of great events planned throughout the year!
The rooms have lot's of space, and social areas have lots of activities. The location is close to the seafront and only a 10 minute walk from uni. Staff are friendly, help resolve problems and always there for a chat.
Very good value for money, receptionists are great and respond well to any issues that arise.
Staff was super helpful with any queries and the facilities are lovely. Any maintenance issues were dealt with quickly and the room has been comfortable to stay in.
