A few issues that haven’t been dealt with- fridge, freezer
Hi, Thank you for your review and we are so sorry for the inconvenience caused due to the freezer issue. Please accept our mistake of the miscommunication among staff. We should have done it better. Our Property Manager has contacted the supplier about the fridge. Powis Place Team
I managed to book into Powis Place at a much later date than others, around July / August or so as I received my offer from UoA much later. Unfortunately Powis had no spaces left, but a girl on Facebook was advertising her room for a tenancy exchange. I took the offer and had a smooth transitioning process thanks to the staff at reception being amazing at their job. Not long after I went to view my room and the receptionist Grace was amazing at showing me all around the premises and giving me information about Powis. The moving in day was nice and easy, Grace was super helpful and assured me the staff would answer any queries regarding my stay. I did have an issue with one of my hangers being a bit dodgy but that was resolved the next day. Throughout the year the staff host events with free snacks and drinks making everyone feel at home. Grace has been doing an amazing job as a receptionist and is always very friendly and welcoming to any queries anyone could have.
Hi, Thank you so much for your nice review! We always want the best for students and we are glad that you enjoy your stay and happy to have you here! Powis Place Team
I have loved staying here at Powis Place. The staff are so lovely and welcoming. Grace is always so smiley and understanding, she’s always very helpful and reliable. When I was filling in my forms and sending over documents they were very patient and understanding. I was quite worried/anxious with moving so far away from home but Katherine was so lovely on phonecalls and helped reassure me. The team made sure I got an all female flat like I asked for and put me with a lovely group of girls. The staff make an effort to get to know each student, they remember your names! There is an amazing gym here too which has a good range of machines. There are so many fun social events like free breakfast and pastries, soup day, pumpkin carving contests which makes it really welcoming and gives a sense of community. The location is great too, there is a Lidl just about 7 minutes away! I would recommend this place to any new student looking for a homely accommodation!
Hi, Thank you so much for your review. We are always here to help our students! Your review has definitely made our day! Powis Place Team
The receptionist is a very nice lady. She is so kind to and responsible for everyone. And the Powis Place is safe and warm and clean to live. I like there very much, I like my roommates very much.

Hi, Thank you for your review! We are happy to help students to ease their stress! Powis Place

Hi, Thank you so much for your review. We are happy to help students! Powis Place
I would like to acknowledge the excellent work of the team 'We are homes for students'. Especially Kathryn, who helped me find a room from my first call and got me a tenancy agreement without any difficulty. I am also very grateful to Natalie from Fraser Studios, because this person arranged the contract for me in the most convenient way, and also helped me to carry all my things to the right room when I was checking in. I really want to mention the intern Grace, who is very responsive and ready to help. International students can often have difficulty with guarantor services, and I was no exception. I am grateful to Kathryn for helping to resolve this issue very quickly and efficiently. Powis Place has very nice people who really care about the students who live here. They literally know who lives where, remember your names and important information. I highly recommend the team 'We are homes for students'. Here, everything possible will be done for you to make you feel comfortable,
Thank you for such a lovely review, we are glad to have been help :)

Phil makes sure that Powis a home away from home. as an international student it gets lonely sometimes but his smiley face always lights up my day!
Everyone at Powis is here to make you feel at home, because it IS your home!
wonderful Gym, nice staffs, professional services
The gym really is a cut above the rest! I'm glad you enjoy it!
nice apartment, I’m a Chinese student of UoA. I really like this apartment, because their workers are very friendly to Chinese, especially in some Chinese traditional festival, they will paste some paintings to celebrate Chinese festival that makes me feel like live in Chine.
We love all our international students, we try to welcome everyone! I'm glad you appreciated our chinese new year decorations, we always go the extra mile for anyone who might be far from home
Great accommodation with friendly staff and spacious studio flats. Added bonus, it is within walking distance of both the University of Aberdeen and the city centre.
Our studios are the best kept secret in Aberdeen! WE love having you stay with us!
Great place to stay, close to city centre and the university.
Thanks! We're glad you enjoy staying with us!
Great place to stay, with friendly staff and it is fairly close to the city centre as well as the University of Aberdeen.
Hi! Thanks for a lovely review! Our location between the Uni and town is incredibly convenient.
They offer the best studio and best gym in Aberdeen! The staff are friendly and helpful. One thing hope can be fix in the future is the speed of Wi-Fi in the room at the corner is unstable.
The gym really is pretty great huh?! We take pride in our en-suites and studios as well as the site overall. Wi-Fi issues can usually be resolved by contacting Glide directly, give them a call or email, I'm sure they can resolve this issue.
Powis place was a very friendly, homely feeling place. Phil personally for me went up and beyond, always there for a chat when I needed and helpful in times that were more serious. Anyone who is thinking of staying at powis place I do highly recommend, and always remember to go down to the office for a daily chat :) thank you for all the kindness and welcoming feel.
Glad you enjoyed your stay with us! We do try and make you feel at home as much as we can, and I am never too busy for that daily chat!!
Phil is very friendly with all the students and there is a great social environment created in powisplace. I am glad I picked to stay here because I have made lots of friends. The gym is really good and the roof terrace is cute. Good value for money, I would recommend.
Thank you for a lovely review!!
Phil at CSA makes the whole accommodations better. Makes the place feel like home and he is always here to help.
Helping is the name of the game! Glad you are enjoying your time with us!
Phil at CSA makes the accommodation experience way better and is always there to help
I'm glad! Powis Place is a great site, full of great people!
Stayed her for my final 2 years in uni, I’d say it’s worth the money! Helped above and beyond for any issues, and the staff themselves are people who you could chat to. Recommended 100%!
Thanks for a fantastic review! We try our best to keep everyone happy!!
Outstanding place! The team of Powis Place can always be helpful!
We certainly try, thankyou!!
Great location and friendly staff. The gym is well stocked and the social areas clean and tidy! I Recommend to any student of any year.
What a great review, thankyou!
An excellent facility with excellent staff. Would definitely recommend people to choose this student accommodation for their residence. Powis place has a 24 hour gym available as well, so if you ever need to blow off steam at any time it is perfect. The reception is kind and more than willing to sort out any sort of issue you may face and the free annual bus pass provided definitely seals the deal
The bus pass is certainly useful for anyone studying at RGU, there is also a cashback offer for anyone who feels they wouldnt benfefit from a bus pass. The gym is great too and just at the bottom of your stairs! Glad you are happy!!
My stay here so far has been spectacular. My room is just amazing and so spacious equipped with running hot water 24x7 and a radiator. The staff at Powis Place have been so helpful and supportive with respect to the resident's concerns and what not. This is an amazing place to live in! Home away from home!
Music to our ears! We try our best to make you feel at home at Powis Place. We love hearing that you are happy with us!
I've been living at Powis Place for two years now and I am fully satisfied from my experience! The rooms are very nice and cozy, and the staff is amazing! They are all very helpful and friendly and make everyone's experience amazing daily!! Also a lot of social events are organised very often (currently online due to the Covid-19 pandemic), that give the chance to residents to get to know each other and have fun!! I 100% recommend it!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review :-) And of course we are thrilled to hear you have been enjoying and continue to enjoy your exeprience here at Powis Place! We do like to provide students with some activities to help meet others, but even more so this past year with everything going on due to Covid. We hope you continue to enjoy your stay here, and you know where we are if you need us! Best wishes, Powis Place Team
The place is just 5-10 mins walking distance to lidls and Morrisons. The bus stop is just outside the accommodation. The people at the reception are friendly and often give out free goody bags and snacks for students. It is a nice place to stay.
Hello :-) Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really do appreciate it! We do like to look after our students, and who doesn't love a wee freebie :-) the short walk to Lidl seems to be a favourite of some of the students, not sure if it has anything to do with their delicious in house fresh bakery...if you haven't tried their croissants yet, I would highly recommend it!
Property management has been very helpful and friendly! The place is really clean too.
Good afternoon, thank you for leaving us a review, we love hearing what you guys think! We are happy to hear that our staff are friendly and helpful, this is key to us!

I can only be thankful to every worker of this accomodation, being at Powis Place felt like being at home thank to their huge kindness. The accomodation in full is magnificent, the gym is amazing and the rooms cannot be better. Personally I need to specially thank the receptionist Philip who helped me during my time in Powis Place and also during the COVID-19 pandemic becoming himself into my personal saviour which I will always remember and be thankful for.

Great place to stay for university accommodation! The staff at reception are so friendly and helpful. It is in a great location as it's near to University of Aberdeen and a 30 mins bus ride/walk from the city centre (Union Street)! Also there is great transport links to Robert Gordon University. Would definitely recommend staying here!
