The worst customer service experience ever. The day I moved in, the condition of flat was unacceptable. The kitchen was a complete mess - rubbish everywhere, sticky floor, dirty counters, and the smell... I was extremely annoyed because I could not use the kitchen because of its state. Nobody did any inspection of the flat before my check-in. I would never recommend this accommodation to anyone!

Been living in here for three years and this year becomes the worst experience. The hot water issue has been repeatedly happening since early January and has never been throughly fixed. We are having cold water showers every half a month. Not to mention the construction noise. 2023. 12. 31: Again no hot water at Christmas and new year's eve.

There is nothing I regret more than choosing this apartment. I moved here in September, and then the apartment began to be renovated in November, and I was told that the renovation would last until June, which means that I have to endure the very loud noise and the laughter of the workers starting at 8 o'clock every day for two-thirds of the lease period, and I have to pay up to 200 pounds of weekly rent for it. Don't choose this apartment, and no one will care about your complaint at all!!!!!

Nice student accommodation. Located at the heart of old town, it offers great transport links, easy access to shopping and close to George square campus. Great for studying. Only issue would be that it is a little pricy but overall I am more than satisfied with my stay.

Some issues had already happened with the Old Printwork’s hot water system during CNY, where there is no hot water to shower and had to shower with cold water for consecutive days. They fixed it and a week later, problems starts again! No hot water again. This is so unacceptable. Please don’t choose unite students as your accommodation, your uni experience will just be bad.
