Student Roost Reviews 

Bathroom fan is terribly loud and doesnt shut off for 15 minutes, makes sleeping difficult. Room gets really unbearably warm basically no way to cool it.

Such lovely and helpful staff, if you have any difficult situations with flatmates, they'll talk you through next steps that you can take for your safety and wellbeing. I specifically stayed at Buchanan View and cannot recommend it enough purely because of how rare it is to find such supportive staff members. Many thanks to Tiegan in particular!

The staff was great, the facilities fenomenal and the location well conected. Only think I'd say is that the hall to block 1, the one near the trash, was always smelly.

Stay there if you want to hate ur life, awful people, no one speaks english, flatmates we’re dirty as ever, had silverfish the whole year, showers are always blocked,shoutout mark in reception though he was lovely, good location but not good for socialisation.

This place is very lucky for me. Good things happened when I moved here.

Staff were very nice and ran the accomodation well and the facilities the accommodation provided were lovely. Although, the room itself was questionable as it was clearly maintained lazily as the walls weren't painted properly so they were easy to stain while cleaning and they didn't fix damage from previous tenants. If you're staying in Home Park, Bournemouth your experience will be just fine just document ALL damage so they won't find a reason to fine you.

Safe accommodation with kind welcoming staff.
Unfortunately the facilities weren’t always reliable and caused damaged to my belongings when flooding.

I loved my time at St David’s student roost. The staff were nice and accommodating. I genuinely loved my room and the people I shared the flat with, just not their habits, such as partying around 4am, making noise and slamming doors, leaving the dishes and trash out. It was genuinely hard to go into the shared space at times. The other problem I had was maintenance. I had this problem were there was no drain cover in my bathroom and I had sent out an email on two separate occasions and all those times, I’d go to the portal and it would say that the repair had been completed meanwhile no one had even come to fix the issue. I even sent out an email the second time and explained this and they said they would fix the issue but they never did. That’s one thing I didn’t love about staying there. Also my package got stolen. The delivery company said delivered but reception said they didn’t have it. It was a very confusing and stressful week Overall it was a good experience for my first year but not that great.

The facility was good for me. It’s like clean and kind staff. But I felt like there was a little bit of old. Also, my flatmates could not respect other flatmates.

All they think about is your money in Nottingham two 0 help in what you need

It was amazing

It’s been disappointing lately. For more than a week the lift wasn't working, even during the hottest period, and then the Wi-Fi stopped working too, which made the stay very difficult. The lift also seems to break down repeatedly, suggesting it's an ongoing issue.

It was quite nice..A lot of activities throughout the year even though i did not participate😭😭 only thing is i kept asking maintenance to unblock my shower drain.. they would come to “repair” it but it would still be the exact same. Was a problem for the entire year

I love my accomodation so much I booked it again for next year! The rooms are amazing and lovely and cozy which is a biggy for me as I came from a very family home and I thought I would struggle in uni, but my student roost definitely made this not become an issue! The staff aswell are lovely and always happy to help!

The people always keep
extremely noisy at the midnight.

I had lived at Great Patrick for my second year of uni but stayed here at Little Patrick for my final year. The staff here are absolutely lovely and very receptive to all kinds of concerns. There are regular social events that go on and a lovely social space where you can go to chill with people, watch TV or play games but also plenty of spots to study. However, when I got to my room it had clearly been left in a poor state by whoever lived there last, not even the bins had been taken out and the room was in a poor state which I had to thoroughly clean upon arrival. There were also some things missing from the room like a mattress protector and toaster so I had to get my own.
There are also two elevators in the building, but the main one was broken for several months on end, and when repaired kept regularly breaking, which was rather inconvenient. Though I believe this was due to issues with their elevator/building maintenance groups, not sure though.
I lived in a studio apartment which was nice overall, generally comfy bed, nice bathroom, desk and nice extra table with chairs, but the level of insulation in that room was so bad that I needed a fan and wore shorts even in the winter (so as the weather got warmer it got near unbearable, especially as someone who had to do coursework on a computer…). It’s also just a personal nitpick but the desk was near the door in the corner rather than in natural light, which made that corner pretty dark and isolated. However it did mean I felt less perceived if I had the blinds up. You can easily look into closer people’s apartments and vice versa from the view I had which was a little intimidating sometimes haha but also cool to see the view with all the different apartments all around.
(You can easily pull down the blinds if you want, and in my room they were opposite my bed, so something I did to substitute a TV was I got myself a little screen projector and would project onto those blinds so it’s like I had a TV in bed! Spent some nice evenings cozy in bed playing games that way.)
I also wish that student accommodations overall had more desk space (as someone who’s lived in three different buildings), perhaps they work for most people but as someone who had to set up a computer, after taking into account the amount of space the monitor and keyboard take up there’s not much room left to work with (even less as I also had a drawing tablet). So I’d often have to use my mouse with my elbow hanging off the desk which was rather uncomfortable, as well as with my monitor rather close to me. However I’ve seen that in pretty much every accommodation I’ve lived in so it’s not unique to here.
Other than those issues the room was comfortable, and had plenty of extra spots for storage such as under the bed, space behind the bed as well, an extra wardrobe etc. And also an extra little couch! But for how much you pay for it I do wish that standard was just a little bit higher. I think some of these things are just general student accommodation things though haha not just specific to this one. I don’t think this is a bad option if you’re looking for a place to stay, especially if you’re studying at Ulster uni in Belfast as it’s right by it, the location is great and very convenient, just a short walk away from city centre and with bus stops all around. I think I likely just got unlucky with my room with the person who stayed there last not bothering to clean it but I do wish it was cleaned by staff with a penalty to the person who stayed there as they clearly state that you need to clean the room before you leave.

The staff are amazing, extremely kind, helpful and respectful.

This accomodation is really only good for the lidl, the gym is good aswell, the rooms need to be taken care of better. They're not clean or refurbished for new tenants and they end up making the room look worse than it actually is

The staff are helpful in their own right, they do what they can and I respect them for it.

Maitenence urgency isn't the best. But not the worst. They could be better with responding to maitenence requests. The super high proprity requests I expect to be responded to in a timely manner.

Other residents are very loud and annoying when it's late. Id hear shouting. Running. And banging on mine or other doors at times as late as 3am

Not only this but the fire alarms are a nightmare to deal with. They go off almost everyday at random hours. Even on their drill days it doesn't go off at the time it says. And it happens way later. I've lost so much sleep and became much more irritable due to how overwhelming the alarms are. And I now get that same sound playing in my head sometimes. Like I'm experiencing auditory hallucinations

The washer rooms are decent. It's not a pleasant sight when you see machines filled with detergent and also being out of order at the same time. I've been forced to use many methods to save money on washing.

Good for the lidl and distance to uni campus. Bad for alot of other things.

I personally wouldn't recommend staying long term. If you have no choice but to stay there then its your decision to stay long term or not. I'm not rebooting with them ever. I'm not satisfied with my stay

Worst student accommodation in Leicester, the receptionist and maintenance team are all racist. Please do not come here
