Manchester Court, manchester

Lived here for over a year and all the staff were very friendly and so supportive. Any questions or needs they were there really quickly. I lived with some really lovely people and had a lovely room and living spaces. Would recommend!

Really good location. But a tired interior, you get what you pay for. A lift would have helped for easier access to fourth floor. Maintenance was sometimes slow and caused an inconvenience (our shower is yet to be fixed, having been broken for a month). Contacting staff was sometimes difficult- the office was closed often. However Nicola was really nice and helpful at the end of my stay.

Since living here I’ve found the location is really good, it’s close to multiple tram stops and is close to the Arndale which is great for food shopping and other things. The people in the office are lovely and really nice to chat to! If there are issues and you send emails across, they tend to get dealt with as quick as they can and sometimes things like vouchers are given out for when problems occur.

I've lived at this accommodation for about 2 years, two separate rooms and have just rebooked for year 3! In what flats I have stayed in, there have been 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one with a shower and one with a bath) and a kitchen. The room I stayed in my first year was quite large, I managed to be able to fit a air mattress inside, which I used as a sofa in my room. My second year room is slightly smaller but still cosy to live in. You get a desk and a pretty big wardrobe in each bedroom. The kitchens are slightly outdated in my opinion but have a lot of room, plus a TV and 2 sofas. The bathrooms are quite small, but it's easy enough for a quick shower and is relatively clean. It's simple enough for easy accommodation, plus it's a five minute walk from the city centre. The only complaints I do have is a lot of the time there are staff shortages which lead to the office being closed a lot of the time, and the app they give you sometimes doesn't work when reporting an issue. We did have a few issues recently with plumbing, but they have been getting sorted out quicker, and there haven't been as many problems as my previous year staying here. There is no lift, which can be difficult for getting to the 4th floor of the building which I have found difficult to climb sometimes after longer walks or with shopping/heavy bags or suitcases. Overall, if you are considering living here, it's not luxury, but it is good for if you're just looking for somewhere simple close to your university or want to be near the city centre.

Only moved in this year, but found it ok. Communications have been ok and maintenance have been good dealing with issues quite quickly. Rooms are a little tired but they are trying to update. Location is fantastic.
