UHI Inverness – Campus Accommodation

Where shall I begin?!

Bedsheets, towels and quality excellent. The room could do with being cleaned more thoroughly, however, it is passable for the price. The staff are all very friendly and it’s extremely good value for Inverness. The only thing to be wary of is the rooms do get very hot at night. These buildings should have been fitted with AC.

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! Stayed 3 nights and because of slamming doors we got a total of 15 hours sleep! Kept awake until 4am each night by other guests leaving the slow closing doors to slam shut. Room was dirty and medical paraphernalia left in cupboard from previous guest. Ground floor window does not lock so room was not secure. No hand soap. The group of guests staying in the other 5 rooms on our landing congregated in the communal kitchen at 11pm and would stay up drinking till 4am. However they would go back and forth to their rooms to use their toilets, meaning the various room doors were opening and slamming shut constantly. Asked staff to do something about night time noise. They initially said there was nothing they could do other than print posters asking guests to keep the noise down! They then grudgingly promised to get night time security to talk with other guests, this made no difference. Eventually, after contacting their management, they moved us to a different part of the building. Still no sleep till after 3am however as guests continued to leave the doors to slam shut.

No bin provided in the room. Window didn’t close on the ground floor. When we told staff about the window, they weren’t very concerned about it. Room was extremely warm, and the bathroom was always mysteriously extremely hot. Shower did not drain well. The staff was also unsurprised when they were told. Strange door system where you have to use the key card to both lock and unlock the door, causing confusion. Locks to get into the building often slow to respond. The campus is very far away from the rest of the town and not always very accessible by bus.

Soaps missing

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!
