Liked common areas to eat and socialise which were spacious. Did not like the closure of the dedicated nearby parking when no building was taking place. The reception staff were responsive and helpful when there were any issues. Some noise from other guests around 1pm. Excellent views and free facilities eg sports. A really enjoyable stay for 50th anniversary alumni - thank you all.

I found it a bit annoying that the window in my room could only be opened a bit. I don't understand why for security reasons windows cannot fully be opened (in what is essentially a 1st floor room)

The tap water gave me a horrific stomach, definitely not safe for consumption (despite no signs to the contrary) and the breakfast was mediocre at best. Shower was inconvenient, the curtain just sticks to you because its like 60cm away from the wall.

A first for me

You get what you pay for but no complaints at all. The staff we came across were friendly and helpful. Our room was basic and clean but had what we needed. Breakfast is self service . Good choice and great views across the valley. It’s a good 10 minutes walk from the train station, all up hill so a taxi may be needed if you mobility is not too good.

Stunning views and great location

Reception team very friendly and helpful, breakfast was a wide variety and staff again very pleasant My only qualm is that the hotel list as swimming pool with no note or asteroid of extra charges. It cost £7.50 for me and my son to swim.

The property was poorly ventilated, hard to breathe especially in the bathroom. the property advertised a pool on the campus yet you need to pay to enter which is not the most convient idea. The place also had a family of spiders living on the selling and spider nests aswell as black hair everywhere in the bathroom.

Great value and well situated for the Uni

Great value and perfect because I needed accommodation while taking a 2 day course on campus. Rooms are fairly basic and not roomy - fine for a couple of nights, but just a bed, shower room and desk, and without much space. Breakfast was fine but again, nothing fancy - self service bacon, eggs, cereal. The reception staff were all really kind and helpful - sympathetic when I arrived hot and flustered, helpful with questions about parking and the campus. A kind helpful attitude counts for a LOT. I would definitely stay again for the price and convenience, but I wouldn't treat it as a holiday base due to the lack of space.

Basic but nice

So staff are really friendly and polite and super helpful. We did have some spiders n cobwebs up in the corners and a questionalble stain on one wall which i removed with a wet wipe. Towels and toilet roll is plentiful and there seems to be lots of parking too. Nice social areas Fabulous breakfast options too. Easy walk downhill to the town and pubs but you'll want an uber for back up its one heck of a climb 347ft to be accurate! Id stay again as it was a really comfy bed too. Some signs of wear on the bathroom door and wardrobe but she was built back in the early 00s so shes doing alright as buildings go.

It took 40 years but I finally made it to university!😂 The room was a standard dorm room with basic facilities. And a wonderful view from the 13th floor. And as it was after the end of the term it was very quiet and empty. All you can eat breakfast included, so a great start to the day.

Stayed again at the venue but this time midweek the only small criticism I have is that they chose not to do filter coffee jugs at breakfast which was disappointing as was very welcome at the weekend when clearly more guests were staying. I would however suggest just keeping one jug on the go in mid-week would have been nice

This property is student accommodation and is very good value for money. It isn't, and doesn't pretend to be 4 star, but works well and has all the basics. There weren't any lifts in the block I was in, but staff were happy to help with cases. As it was outside term time, there were no buses on the campus, which is hilly.
