I stayed here a few years ago and it was fine. This time not so much. No blind in my room, no toilet roll in the bathroom. Mentioned this at reception. Nothing was done about it. For £110 per night I expected better. This property really has gone down hill. Which is to be expected with it being a student accommodation BUT let the prices reflect this.

Clean, new looking, safe property. Room was very warm, even with window open and fan.

Hot, hot, hot! Yes, mentioned in many reviews, but this building seem to generate their own heat.20c outside, 27c inside, all night. The accommodation is the u diversity accommodation for students, all I can say is poor students, especially how much they have to pay for this small room. Each flat has 6 individual bedrooms with a communal kitchen sitting area. It's easy to find the accommodation, follow signs for building 7. There are 4 blocks of accommodation, reception desk is between building 1 and 2,you can park round the rear then go in the back door. The reception staff are great, walk you to your room. I discovered later on my room could be entered without the room key, but I just put the deadbolt on. The room is small, the bed, you can hear every spring twang, very thin sheet, no mattress protector, put the two pillows together and you might make one normal pillow. There is a thermostat on the wall that is for display only, it does nothing. It was 27c in the room, my car said at the time it was 21. The blind on the window, the cord was broken, could move it up and down a wee but but that was it. They supply a fan in the room, all it does is move hot air about. No TV in the room, there is one in the common area, it's so basic, no linking to your phone for screen sharing and you get a stiff neck having to watch the top of the wall where it has been mounted. The sleep was poor, so hot. Take a single sheet, duvet too hot. For what it is, it is way too expensive.

The room is very nice but heated up overnight and the controls did not seem to work. The bus service was limited so I had to leave on the first bus to ensure I caught my train. I had been staying in Inverness at a nice B and B earlier for the same cost, very nicely presented, near town and I got breakfast so this had far less going for it.

Usually I would see the reviews on a place like this and rate it well because it's exactly as it's described. I went into this with very low expectations, and they were still not met. Issues with the cards/locks, no garbage bin in the room/bathroom, slamming doors at all hours, bathroom light that doesn't turn off, no handsoap, and the biggest issue of all....insanely HOT!! It was an average/slightly chilly day out so no idea if they cranked the heat or what because there's no logical reason why it should have been that hot. My chocolate bar melted into a puddle on the desk. The fan they supplied felt like it was blowing hot air because of how hot it was and that was with the window wide open letting the cool breeze in. So uncomfortable!

The floor wasnt hoovered and all the dust stuck to my feet when walking. Otherwise it was nice. Staff was cooperative.

Difficult to locate had to ask security. Understandably basic room which was clean. The bathroom light & extractor fan automatically engage on entry & lasts 30 mins, noisy at night unable to switch off. Kitchen/tv room pleasant but not sure what I could use & no information regarding nearest shop, bus times etc. Location & view was fine & pleasant walk through grounds into town.

Room and bed is very basic and not value for the money they are charging. There is no A/C or fans in the room and all the rooms and corridors are very hot and difficult to sleep on a hot summer day. Campus is relatively new and being developed, but accommodation is around 45 to 50 mins walk from the city centre.

Pretty disappointed overall with my stay. Had there been other options when booking last minute I wouldn't have booked. The room had long black hairs all over the floor and bed when I arrived. The sheet was very thin with dirt on it. Issues that had to be fixed like the window getting stuck and the shower tap being stuck on scalding hot. The fire doors whilst adding security, slam loudly at all hours of the night and the window had to be open at all times since the heating was high. The young guy at reception was very nice and tried to fix what he could but clearly run off his feet with a lot to cover. Recommend that management higher better cleaners and set prices at a lower level to match the hostel like conditions.

its fair to say we won't be staying again. Points to take away from this experience. students running around shouting in the early hours of the morning doesn't help when you have a hard day ahead of you. sharing a kitchen with the students. If you decide to rent out rooms you have to have the option for a tv surely? nope not here!! The advert on expedia is misleading and doesn't give you the true picture of what it would be like for someone staying.
