I've been in the UK since 2017 and came to live at True Manchester Salford this year (2023). Honestly, I'll shout out loud that no other place has been as wonderful as living here. What initially sold this place to me was the 24/7 security, on-site gym, lounges, activities for social butterflies, and quiet areas for introverts. But as I actually started living here, I found this place meant so much more. With a hectic student-work life, I come back to a team at the reception welcoming me with the brightest smiles. They genuinely care for the residents, and they go out of their way to support us! Thank you, lovely team, for making my days better with your care and smiles!

I have stayed at True Manchester Salford since September 2022; it is very comfortable and conducive for students. The management is friendly, welcoming and all-around nice people; the studio is just the right size for me. The best part of the building would be the study room; the ambience is just top-notch. I genuinely will miss True when I have to leave.

My stay at True Manchester Salford has been undeniably the best; I love the events, and the staff here is actually the best. Respect, love and security are top tier; I never thought I’d be able to bond and have interaction with staff ever in my life. I love the fact you get a say in the events they plan out, whether it’s inside the accommodation or outside the accommodation, and you can plan an event; tell me what other accommodations ( public/private) do, any of that sort, so if you’re ever looking for a private accommodation. I believe you should apply and never let it go past your mind.
