When I went to view this accommodation I didn't realise just how close it was to everything in the city centre, it was less than a couple of minutes walk. The girl who took us around was really helpful as my mum is hard of hearing and she took her time answering our questions and was understanding. The big bonus for me is the car parking. I will definetly be considering booking here next year

Moved here last week and the room was very clean and well maintained upon arrival. Study rooms and bike storage is a big plus! Glad I booked Centro House with amber, they helped me a lot with booking and paperwork and also provided all the information about accommodation before booking.

5.0

The rooms are a good size. love the amount of desk space and storage. The only drawback to the room is the lack of plugs near the bed or wall. They do put on events etc for us to participate in and there is pool and table tennis to do. Location: the furthest out of the city campus Safety: goodish safety. prefer the key fob at the forge compared to the key card though. CCTV everywhere although they don't use it. (I lost my watch after a night out in the reception and they refused to look at CCTV to see if anyone had picked it up) Management: the CCTV used pissed me off quite a bit and the fact that parking is so expensive. there are so many spaces left over underneath they should consider reducing the cost as there is free parking at the treadmill. They also took 8 months to deliver our post box keys. how difficult is it to go get some cut or even buy a new lock??? I could do it in 30 minutes by walking to the key-cutting place on Castle Square. Value: good value overall to be fair

Centro house is perfect for students who need to get away from campus and explore Stirling on their down time. The location is amazing. It is in the city yet due to it being slightly hidden, it makes for a quieter setting. Best of both worlds. It is also a short walk away from multiple food stores like Aldi, Lidl, and Iceland as well as B&M for all your home supplies. Lush is also only a few minutes away <3 As for the staff, they made me feel welcome and at home from the minute I walked in the building, before I had even decided on living here. They have always gone above and beyond to help me with any issues.
