Convenient but basic
Convinient lodging for visiting Verdant Brewery. The rooms were as expected, no thrills but nothing wrong. Should be noted that there is little commercial activity nearby, especially at night, so bring food or travel a bit.

Lovely "budget" stay - would stay again
We knew what to expect as my daughter stayed there when she was at res so no shocks for us. It is probably more comparable to a private room (with a private toilet/shower) in a self catering hostel with a shared kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay there and would highly recommend it if you are looking for budget accommodation ... just don't expect any hotel luxuries. You obviously get the basics like towels & bed sheets (in case you were wondering). It is a couple of minutes walk to the car park. Having said that, you are allowed to briefly park outside your room to drop your bags off at the beginning of your stay and when you fetch your bags at the end. Everything else was 3-4 times the price when we were looking for accommodation so we saved that by staying here and used the saved money on other fun things :-)

Convenient place to stay for cornwall amenities. Had no hot water for two days and it took two requests to get it sorted. But apart from that hiccup nice place to stay

Really good value. Great transport options. Staff were friendly and efficient. Room was clean, shower was very good. Basic kitchen available to use . Campus is confusing to navigate with 1 way system . Rooms were too hot , really don't need winter duvets on the bed .

I understand it is student accommodation, however the mattress could do with an upgrade. Other than that, accommodation was fine.
Paul, 3-night trip

What i can say, is that it suited our purpose of being where we needed to be for our daughters masters graduation. The rooms were clean but very basic. Very difficult to get to sleep with some very inconsiderate people dancing and partying at 1am.
Stephen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very enjoyable stay Thank you
Stayed as part of daughters graduation. Was handy being onsite. Book in staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean and well stocked, as were communal kitchens. My only advice would be to have bars/cafes and food halls open longer during graduation to save people having to travel out, which would also bring revenue into Uni. The staff were very accommodating when having to book an extra days stay for my daughter due to unforeseen circumstances.

2/10 Poor

Pubic hair on top of the bedding tiny bed, smaller than a double, very dirty curtains, strong smell of damp , no tv and the free wifi didnt work.

there were a number of faults with the accommodation and facilities. However, once reported to reception alternative accommodation was provided straight away.

the property looks old. It doesn't like the photo. Also the room has some smell.

Had a bit of an issue to start as had booked 3 rooms through Expedia but the University system only showed one. They sorted it ok. Some of the printed instructions, e.g., for parking, names of roads, didn't match reality and could do with updating. Perfect for a short stay.
Martin, 1-night trip

This is student accommodation, so the bed was ok, and the kitchen was clean with enough equipment to make something to eat. I wish that the doors had dampness. I did not appreciate someone who got up at 6:00 to make a cup of tea, letting the three doors they passed through bang. I was there as a student and not a tourist at the time.
Valerie, 5-night trip

Cheap, but possibly spend a bit more for comfort
Good location. Lovely landscaping at the University. However, quite possibly the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever had the pleasure of paying for. Springs were sticking up in the mattress. We turned the mattress over in desperation and it was much better. Bathroom has an automatic light and fan that stays on for well over 10 minutes which was kind of annoying in the middle of the night.
Sarah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Difficult to find our accommodation when we arrived even having a map of the site from reception. Wi-fi was intermittent and made several journeys to reception to try to sort the problem. Staff were pleasant but ineffectual. Asked for extra pillows...they never came. Car parking was on site but quite a distance from our unit. Would not use again...too uncomfortable.

‘No Frills’ is Accurate
‘No Frills’ is definitely an apt descriptor. Happy going in knowing as a more budget end option it might not be all shiny and fancy, but it definitely feels like a tacked on “how can we make cash off these buildings out of term with minimum input” rather than a professionally organised accommodation. No complaints about the people we spoke to as they were largely kind and tried to be helpful, but with 0 housekeeping staff at the weekend we couldn't even get an extra pillow without waiting a whole day. Kitchen is ill-equipped for sharing, with only one tiny ‘sharp’ knife and very little cookware for 6 bedrooms worth of people. Self-catered technically, but hugely limited on what you can cook. Not even a tray for something as simple as a pizza! Food and drink nearby is decent when available, but it’s shut so much of the time you rely on the very few takeaways around to eat. Overall it’s definitely functional, but far from enjoyable given the cost was still considerable even as a budget offering. If this is what is offered to students then I feel sorry for them.

Took a long time to check in. The first room we were given the bed was not made up and no towels. Had to return to reception and be allocated another room. It was late at night and the campus is difficult to navigate when it is unfamiliar. Finally found the other room. Entry was near a waste disposal area that smelt and the room smelt of damp. The window looked out on to a very high grey wall. The room was clean but the experience was underwhelming. Whilst, this is an economy room we recently stayed in similarly priced accommodation abroad which was of superintendent quality.

No frills, good value for money ... poor bed
No frills room in student accommodation. Good size for two people with a double bed. Check in and check out was efficient and friendly and we were grateful that there was still someone there when we arrived later than planned due to traffic outside Bristol. Very clean room and bathroom. When we stripped the bed before checkout the duvet was very stained. I couldn't get the WiFi to work (but that may be my fault). The onsite cafe was really good and a short walk from the room. Reasonably priced with good options for breakfast and lunch and delightful, friendly staff. Good on site shop too. Parking is free and a 5 minute walk away. The main problem for us was the bed. The mattress is thin and we found it uncomfortable; we didn't sleep very well.

Good basic accommodation. Great towels!
Great welcome at checkin (follow signs to Glasney Lodge). Found our room had not been cleaned but quickly swapped to another. Good quality student hall of residence. Take a fan if hot weather! Didn’t find how to release the window “restrictor” until the morning we left. No through breeze in room due to fire doors in communal kitchen. Shower room small but quite adequate. Amazingly, the shower curtain was very effective, not a drop on the floor! Towels amazingly soft & fluffy - better than most hotels we have stayed in! Beds ok but my wife found hers uncomfortable (she does have a back problem so perhaps not an issue for most) but if you like more than one pillow, take one or something to raise the first. Pizza/sandwich shop on site - nice pizzas - closed at 9pm. Parking is distant to the rooms - relevant if you have a walking problem (permit supplied) though they allowed us to park closer with “blue badge”. Can drop luggage off first before moving to car park. If you have a small disk on letting, press knob on outside door with the disk then turn the knob to open door. Some have key instead. Overall. Great value basic accommodation with communal kitchen & tv. Staff in 24 hr reception very helpful & friendly
