Stayed here in the second year of uni in a classic en-suite. The rooms are very spacious with double beds, and lots of storage for clothes and other belongings (including a large built-in wardrobe, under-bed storage, drawers, and shelves). En-suite was very nice, with a good shower. The staff was exceptionally friendly, making me feel very welcome. The reception takes in post for you, meaning you'll never miss a parcel. The prices are very reasonable, cheaper than the equivalent university accommodation; not as cheap as some student houses, but much nicer and more modern. Highly recommended for students looking for accommodation.
