Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Easy to find, parking was slightly problematic due to remote payment system. Good standard student accommodation.
Slight problem with room as found, apparently due to booking mix-up. Easily and quickly solved by staff.
Convenient for uni open day
Entry into building instructions could have been clearer
Kampüs içinde ve güvenli
Temizlikçiler havlu ve çarşafları koridorda doğrudan yere atıyordu. Wifi çaşışmadı
Very comfortable twin room at a good price and breakfast was good too. Ideal for a one-night stay at the end of a conference before travelling home.
As we expected when we booked, having looked at the location on maps, there was quite a lot of traffic noise from the M6
Είναι σε άριστο σημείο μέσα στο campus.
Δεν υπήρχε κουρτίνα στο μπάνιο και ήταν αρκετά στενή η μπανιέρα ώστε όλο το μπάνιο πλημμύριζε με νερά που λίμναζαν όλες τις μέρες. Η καθαριότητα ήταν ανύπαρκτη. Μείναμε 4 βράδια και ποτέ δεν άλλαξαν πετσέτες και σεντόνια. Ειδικά οι μαξιλαροθήκες στο ένα κρεβάτι που είχαν λερωθεί, δεν τις άλλαξαν 4 ημέρες ενώ τις αφήναμε στη μέση του κρεβατιού για να τις δουν και να αλλάξουν έστω αυτές. Την 3η ημέρα, άλλαξαν την σακούλα με τα σκουπίδια και την γεμάτη δεν την πήραν. Την άφησαν πάνω στο γραφείο. Κρίμα. Το προσωπικό στο campus είναι ευγενέστατο, αλλά στην καθαριότητα απαράδεκτοι.
Easy to stop near motorway
Terrible bathroom & shower. The parking charges
Location in the campus
High cost for the quality received
On the campus, regular buses to the city. Basic but convenient and comfortable.
NA
Good price and good location for visiting the university / city.
The cupboard had a collapsed shelf, other than that it was fine.
The location is really nice and it is convenient to access the campus. We enjoy the kitchen and the desk and sofa in the room. The breakfast is delicious.
There is no elevator and we have to take the luggage to climb the flight. The staff with Asian face in the canteen is impolite to us.
Ehrlich gesagt hat uns an der Unterkunft nichts gefallen das Frühstück war passabel Das Zimmer war sehr groß.
Uns hat nicht gefallen dass keinerlei überhaupt nicht Zeit eingerichtet war das Bad war stimmig es waren Haare es gab kein warmes Wasser mein Kind hat in der kalten Dusche geduscht nicht in Ordnung
Good basic accommodation, close to the motorway. The on-site breakfast was excellent.
Out of town if you need an evening meal and you have to pay for parking.
Simple, clean room which was easy to find and get into and with a generous breakfast
Poor lighting. Loud road noises made it difficult to keep window open for ventilation
Sehr gepflegt, alles notwendige vorhanden . Große Frühstücksauswahl. Genug Parkplätze (kostenpflichtig) in unmittelbarer Nähe vorhanden. Der Self Check-in und -out ohne Wartezeit ist prima.
Die Matratze des Doppelbetts war mir zu weich.
Extra charge for parking not made clear at time of booking. Parking meters were also missing or not working so you have to pay by app No TV or radio in room, and the shower cubicle could do with some maintenance
Location is good for university business
Lack of plug sockets(one double located on the desk, problematic if like my husband need to use a CPAP or like anything else plugged in next to the bed); mattress extremely uncomfortable; sheets, duvet and pillows also fairly unpleasant. Bathroom not particularly clean, lacking plug for sink and stains on the carpet. Our daughter is in halls here, and her accommodation was far better!
The room was spacious, light and airy. The breakfast was excellent both in quality and choice. Beds were very clean and comfortable. the bathroom was clean and functional. The location was good and there is a regular bus service into Lancaster.
The traffic noise from the M6!
Handy for where I visited,easy to find and check in instructions were easy to follow
Nowhere close by,walking distance for an evening meal.As a lone traveller,it’s something I struggle with
• Location of room was quiet • Easy parking
• Being on the second floor. Choice of a lower floor would have been appreciated. • Confusion about parking rates and times as these have changed recently and not clear what was needed to be paid for. • Getting attitude when asking for more than 3 items on the cooked breakfast! I did get the scrambled egg in the end. • Having to ask for toast, milk and yogurt to be replenished - but to be fair, there were only 2 girls on doing everything.
In the university campus , convenient location for an open day visit
Very uncomfortable beds , very hot , noisy from the motorway , small shower cubicle
More than 1 round at the warm breakfast buffett
Good value for money, convenient to M6 and Lancaster. Simple accommodation but comfortable.
Felt cleaning of hand basin toilet could have been cleaned daily. Yea and coffee topped up daily but no bins emptied feel these should be standard daily stuff.
Good value breakfast and room was clean.
The beds weren't very comfortable.
The campus was an eye opener for me. So large and impressive.
Bathroom. A big let down was tired needs updating. No plug in hand wash basin, hot water tap rotated was not secure flooded floor a few times, shower step ridiculous as it's about 12 inch high the shoer cubicle is not square and to close the door from the inside was cumbersome.
Campus was great for evening walk Bus stop underground was brilliant Breakfast fab x

It was in the university grounds where zi attended a conference
N/A
The room was ideal for what I was looking for. It even had useful extras like an iron and a hairdryer! The room was spacious and bright and was on a quiet part of the campus where I wasn't disturbed by anyone else. Breakfast was included, which was excellent. I had to extend my visit by an extra night and the staff were considerate and accommodating, also by giving me a ground floor room as I have mobility problems at times. I would certainly stay there again.
There was nothing not to like really. My only slight problem wouldn't have been in the university staff's ability to change - that I wasn't able to drive at the time and the university is outside of the city centre. However, taxi prices were quite reasonable and I believe that the bus links are good - certainly there were plenty of buses coming and going while I was there.
Convenient location, good breakfast, good value for money.
The bathroom could do with updating and there was no fan or A/C to help with the heat.
studentisches Zimmer mit kleinen Macken, Frückstück fein
The property was conveniently located and easy to access. The instructions of how to get to it were spot on and we didn’t have problem finding the place.
It was a bit tired looking. Could do with fresh paint and just re-sealing the bathroom.
Breakfast was fine. Campus was nice to explore
Too hot. Noisy start to morning with workmen
On location.
Wry basic for the price. Carpets outside very stained. No air con.
University location, good kitchen facilities to do your own thing.
Joining instructions/where to go could have been clearer, but the security desk were really helpful.
Quiet clean and comfortable
Some facilities were closed probably due to time of year
Great location for daughter’s graduation. Nothing fancy but perfect for what we needed.
Nothing
L’emplacement idéal au bord de l’autoroute pour une escale pratique en allant vers le nord. Le petit déjeuner est très bien et agréablement servi par des personnes attentionnées !
Le matelas était très mou et assez inconfortable, les oreillers beaucoup trop plats.
Accessibility to food, shops, and the university environment
Staff accessibility
Not enough amenities were provided for the price
I did not like at all.
Just a bare small single bed in a small room. No TV, no fridge. Problematic wifi that disconnects frequently.
Room was fine and the breakfast was great - offers good value for money overall.
Only problem was that we weren’t sent the code for the entry and had to trek across the university to get it from the security team.
Contemporarily finished halls of residence.
Nearby amenities. Friendly & helpful staff on-site.
Large bedroom with everything you would expect from a hotel. Shared kitchen was useful as we had to leave before breakfast. Much better than usual university accommodation.
No lift and we were on the 3rd floor! Right next to the motorway so extremely noisy, had to close the window to sleep and no air conditioning.
Very handy for university. Room ideal
.
Close to Lancaster but out of town and easy to get to.
Food outlets were so close but hard to find in the dark after arrival. More tea and coffee would have been nice. Struggled to open the window but did manage eventually and struggled to adjust the shower temp but did in the end.
Room was good
Poorly signposted and having the key lock box on the second floor was confusing We got trapped in the car park for an hour waiting for a truck to unload
Everything was clean and handy. There was also a restaurant on campus where we served fresh hot food.
N/A
The location was fine.
Room could do with a tv. The mattress was to soft and you could hear everything from outside, with the windows closed. At midnight a bunch of kids were making that much noise we could not sleep.
Breakfast excellent. Perhaps a bit more information as to how to reach the location by public transport would help.
Nothing, really.
The university cafeteria offers a wholesome breakfast, and dinner was quite nice, too. It takes some effort to find your way around campus, but there are plenty of people to ask :) The room is nice and spacious.
There was no television in the room and no A/C.
Location
No key in deposit box on arrival. Had to contact the security guy as it was after officer hours. He was absolutely frazzled as there were numerous other people arriving with similar problems. The security was superb but clearly embarrassed by his fellow employees ineptitude. We were given an alternative room but others weren't so lucky.
Nice clean and very accessible for everything.
Where we stayed, it’s a bit noisy.
Staff super disponibile, camera come da foto allegate. Rapporto qualità-prezzo ottimo!
Insonorizzazione della camera non ottimale.
Perfect location for graduation ceremony- helpful staff - clean - fabulous breakfast - quiet (all together a great experience)
The Bedding
Dusty carpets uncomfortable bed very stuffy room
Perfect location for Graduation Ceremony. Quality breakfast.
The front door (entrance to the block) didn’t lock.
Location
Very poor value for money. Hand held shower with no shower curtain, mountainous pillows, very basic facilitates,, short beds, no TV, no AC, noisy next to M6,
The bits on the desk like , coffee, sucre,tea bags etc ..
Other guests doors slammed every 10 minutes , I was hitching every night because of dirty carpet, bed frame and mattress uncomfortable
Gostei de tudo!
Como tava um calor insuportável, falou um ventilador ou ar condicionado!
Excellent location.
Needs a tv
Excellent location. Tea and coffee making facilities Comfortable bed Nice wardrobe with plenty of storage Good breakfast
Noise from other residents at 3am Doors slamming Close to fire door and noise from people exiting the corridor
Clean comfortable and spacious room
Did not receive code for key safe, not told which house i was staying in in a huge block of sections so had to make several phone calls to sort out,was very annoyed.

Just the breakfast and the campus.
booking给的行程有好几个地址版本,我在校园里找了好久,很不好。
Room spotless, basic but everything that I needed was there. Breakfast excellent, wide choice, all freshly cooked.
Nothing really. All good.
As I booked the property essentially to attend graduation ceremony of my son, I can only confirm its perfect location. The rooms are small but very clean.
Room clean, shower pressure very good and refreshing. Sunny aspect, bright room. Good size wardrobe with iron and ironing board much appreciated. Kettle with teas and coffees. Bed comfortable single. Bed linen clean and dazzling white. Spotless white towels. Free access to university internet 🛜. Accommodation quiet and location easy to get to locations on campus, ideal for attending graduation ceremony without travel concerns. Breakfast variety good and filling. Q code information in room giving campus facility, food outlets and other information very helpful. Bus frequency to and from Lancaster bus station during the week is high, fares very reasonable.
Access code not received on phone. Bit irksome at first but easily resolved when arrived. No blinds or curtains in room somewhat irritating.
It had the two beds and shower and toilet I booked for my sons.
We were assigned the top floor and there was no lift 🥲.
It was near the venue and at least this building has a lift.
I booked two rooms for my son’s grad. The room I reserved was for a proper double room with comfy double bed, hair dryer, coffee maker/kettle etc. I ended up getting a single student accommodation with one set of towel. 🙈. My husband and I had to make do with the single bed after a 4.5hours drive from southeast. I was just so tired to get too upset. I called the following day to ask what happened and I was told that the accommodation manager will get back to me. So far I’ve got no comms. The security officer who released the key, given that we arrived at 10:35pm was very warm and lovely and he is the only consolation I get from this- oh and the nice breakfast staff too. I don’t want to ruin my family celebration- but this is a big fail.
Convenient location
Loud fire doors banging into the early hours and wi-fi problems
Basic room but great value for money. Great location for the university. Great breakfast. Would definitely stay again.
Room a bit dated but looked like some rooms are being refurbished.
Very good location
Great location on campus, the rooms are basic but clean and have en suite bathroom and a kettle with tea/coffee.
Maybe a bit too basic for the price, it was £95 for the night.
Convenient and clean rooms located on the Lancaster campus. Breakfast is provided at the Marketplace which is a quick 2 minute walk away.
Check in was not ideal. We didn’t get the entry codes we needed. We were told by Booking.com that we would get these codes via email. We had to find the security office on a Saturday to sort out our check in and were told that this had happened to 2 others that day.
Location

Ja potrzebowałam być na kampusie, więc główną zaletą była lokalizacja. Wzięcie klucza ze skrzynki poszło sprawnie. W niektórych budynkach jest kuchnia, co było miłym zaskoczeniem.
Raz była awaria prądu trwająca 8 h, dwa razy nie miałam ciepłej wody.
The ease of use of key safe, the cleanliness
Mattress was very uncomfortable.
Lack of staff on site for check in
Convenient location
Excellent location
Shower wasn’t great, had to run for ages before it became warm, also parking was very expensive. I think if you book to stay here parking should be included.
On campus so excellent location if visiting
Shower was not so great, water took ages to warm up. Parking on campus was expensive, feel if you are staying then it should include a parking space for guests.
The breakfast staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good.
When I arrived in the evening the room wasn't ready. Bed not made, used towels on the floor. Room not cleaned. I had to drive to security to pick up the key for a different room. When I arrived back at the room the following night at about 22:30 the electronic key fob didn't work so I had to phone security and wait to be let in.
Clean and comfortable. Great location for University visit.
Check in email arrived only after I chased for it, 15 minutes before staff left for the day. I waited outside the accommodation for 30 minutes waiting to receive information. The top floor room was very warm.
Comfortable.
Noise outside
Convenient
Too expensive for what you get. More like a hostel, I’ve stayed in cheaper hotels that were more luxurious!
These rooms are no longer drab and dreary since the refurb. They were really clean, bright and comfortable and the shower step is much lower than before. Excellent WiFi and lovely breakfast. The bed was comfy and there was a lovely communal kitchen to cook in and a fridge freezer to use.
No TV
Very convenient for our purposes
The check in process was tricky because we did not get our email from booking.com with the check in code and room number. But luckily we managed to sort it out with on site staff
Location was good, breakfast was lovely and staff were friendly and helpful
The two ground floor rooms had a musty smell and there was no means to regulate the temperature in any of the rooms other than opening a window which wasn’t really an option as it was one of the days during the recent heatwave.
Clean and perfect location, also very good value.
Very hot as we were on the top floor and the window would only open a bit so we were a bit uncomfortable.
Excellent location, lots to do
N/A
Easy parking and check in, convenient for Uni pick up
TV in room would be nice
Good location on campus. Convenient EV charging. Decent breakfast included.
It was really hot - didn’t expect a/c but a fan should have been provided
Its location was excellent
The lack of anyone to ask questions of / reception area etc
Location
Facilities
Location is good for activities on campus
Housekeeping was limited to topping up of teas and sugars
The breakfast was very nice , the shower was good
There could have been heating.
The convenience of being on campus was really nice, and having breakfast included was a great bonus. There were so many different options for meals/snacks on campus the rest of the afternoon and evening as well. All of the campus staff were helpful and very kind.
The bed was the least comfortable bed I have ever sat on and slept in. No cushioning at all in the mattress, just metal springs before you hit the hard base of the bed. The room was also very dirty… there were pieces of long blonde hair all over the bedding (that definitely didn’t belong to me). The floor looked like it may have been lightly hoovered at some point(?), but it had bleach stains and patches of dirt all over. The shower was pretty mouldy and the bathroom sink hadn’t been cleaned in a while. The window was covered in loads of dust, dirt, and spiderwebs (and as someone with allergies, this made opening the window not much of an option - during a heatwave, this was not good). Honestly, the whole building just needed a good clean, and I couldn’t tell when the room was last touched at all. For the price, I do feel like it should have been slightly more comfortable and definitely cleaner than it was.
Visiting Grandson at University
It was all fine
The shower was excellent The property was an excellent base to visit my daughter at the university
My daughter’s bed was super comfy. Mine less so but still ok The base of the table lamp was very dusty. Please give it a wipe.
