Definitely my favourite place to have stayed at. It is slightly expensive but worth every penny! There are lots of areas to go to so you are not trapped inside of your room and there is a real sense of community. The staff are amazing and know what they are doing. There was always parties but also quiet areas if needed. Only thing the place is missing is parking for the students.

The reception team are always nice to chat to. Ryan and Abraham are especially helpful and always go above and beyond to try and help resolve my issues. Ryan has helped me when I’ve had a really hard time with certain issues. I really appreciate the effort they both put in and to try help students as best as they can. Alex who is part of the maintenance team is extremely helpful and always tries to help resolve issues asap. I’ve had a lot of maintenance issues within my flat and he has always put in effort to fix these and been very speedy in responding to issues within the flat in comparison to other members of staff within the team. I really hope Ryan, Abraham and Alex know students appreciate the effort they go to, to resolve issues and help us. The staff in general are always very helpful and this is really appreciated. I hope staff are recognised in the support they give to students and how helpful they are.
The reception team are very nice and helpful, Especually Abraham, Gary and Ryan. The maintenance team would fall apart without alex lynne and margarita are lovely

Janis is just an amazing gentleman, who will passionately help you any day anytime. He simplifies problems and make your worries worthless. I am happy Janis ushered me to causewayview my very first day in Aberdeen. He makes life better. 👍
Never had any issues living here staff always been lovely and helpful
The staff are all lovely, but since i have to choose, Team Leader, Janis Sneiders, is great.
The staff especially Gary are always helpful and willing to go above and beyond to help. I Feel like I can approach the staff with any situation I have and I love that Gary actually cares about the students and is there to care
I love staying here. Gary at reception is amazing and always helps when we needed.
Gary is lovely, very helpful with everything and I really like staying here
Lynne visited Room 128 yesterday to assist with issues we may have and as most mothers do, Lynne will make you miss home less. She’s friendly, kind, respectful and so caring. She gets things done. She came this morning with results. Thank you Lynne! You rock!
The House keeper, Lynn, is fantastic.
The cleaner Lynne was very helpful and provided me with hoover bags. She went the extra mile and cleaned part of the kitchen for us and replaced the hoover bag.
Hi there!We must admit we are biased, but we think Lynne is an absolute super star! Thank you for taking the time to leave her a review, we'll make sure and pass this on as I am positive it will make her day!Thank you!
Very up kept through the halls and a safe place to be, only thing would be for a possible kitchen cleaner to save flatmates cleaning up after others
Hi there!We're glad to hear that you find Causeway View to be maintained to a great standard by our amazing Housekeeping team!We understand your request for a kitchen cleaner (we don't like doing our dishes either) however, as the flat is your home, we try only entering during routine maintenance/in the event of an emergency so that your time with us here is kept as minimally disruptive as possible. If you are interested, our team can hold a flat meeting with your flat, and set up a cleaning rota that makes it fair for all the residents in your flat and works out a system so that everyone takes their turn in ensuring you all have a clean, welcomming living area! If this is something that you would like, please come to the reception to discuss it with the team!

Good staff l, but bad wifi and phone signal
Good afternoon, Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear you are enjoying your stay with US! I am really sorry to hear about WiFi, please contact our reception team who will be happy to help. Thank you again!
Causeway view has easily the best location out of all the student accoms. It’s close to the uni but also close to the centre. Staff are super helpful and always pleasant.
Thank you! Spring Gardens and Causeway view are both located in the city centre with easy access to universities and right in the heart of Aberdeen! Happiness of students is our number 1 priority and I am glad you enjoyed staying with US!
Very good accommodation and kind staff
There is nothing more important to us then to provide home for every student who lives with us. Glad to hear you like our accomodation!
Causeway is the best!! Always fun things to do, lots of social spaces too. Shoutout to the reception team for being really helpful! Can’t wait to stay again next year :)
It is great to hear that you are enjoying your time with us! We always put the customer at the heart of everything we do! Thank you again :)
really nice apartment to live in
We are very happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay at our wonderful Causeway View accomidation! The location itself is very beautiful and our staff are always happy to help!
Causeway View is the best! I feel so at home here, the facilities are great and the team are always so helpful. Aimee, Sophie and Gary at reception are always there to help with any queries and provide support. Angie keeps our accommodation so clean and fresh, she is great! Definitely the best accommodation!
We are so happy to hear that you have been enjoying your time at our Causeway View property, as well as its range of facilities such as the gym, study spaces, and common room! Our staff work tirelessly to ensure the property is kept to high cleanliness standards, and that it feels as friendly and welcoming as your home-away-from-home should be. I will pass this on to them as they will be so pleased to know that their hard work is paying off! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! - Ellen
Causeway View is a great place to stay, with great facilities (study spaces, gym, and roof terraces). Angie the housekeeper is amazing at keeping the building clean and smelling good. The reception staff (Aimee, Sophie and Gary) are always so welcoming and helpful. Overall, my favourite place to stay.
Thank you so much for this fantastic review of our Causeway View property! Our staff all work very hard to create the most welcoming, friendly, and hygienic environment and will be so very happy to hear how much you are enjoying your time here. Our newest build in Aberdeen, all of Causeway View's ensuite rooms and studios have access to its amazing facilities and we are so glad you have been able to make use of them! - Ellen
Amazing location, very friendly and helpful staff, especially Paul at reception and Angie who maintains causeway at an amazing standard. Also the WiFi is really good and you get around 80Mb/s usually, which I’m really surprised considering it’s student accommodation- so you wouldn’t have any problems downloading lectures or playing games ;) The rooms are also the best ones you’ll find for uni and having someone to help open your door if you’ve lost your key at any time at night ( a Uni tradition) is a life safer. All in all I can’t recommend this place enough, has made first year better considering how Covid has affected most other factors.
We are so happy to hear you’ve enjoyed your time at Causeway View! During the pandemic, we have tried our best to make sure everyone has the best experience possible even though most things have been moved online. Our reception and housekeeping teams will be so pleased that you enjoyed all their hard work and effort. We work with our partner Glide on providing the fastest and most stable WiFi possible and we are glad to hear you’ve been able to use this to the fullest extent – both for your studies and for recreational use. Our safety team work very hard to ensure they are on-site within fifteen minutes, meaning no student is locked out of their room at night for any longer than necessary as your safety is our highest priority. Thank you so much for your generous feedback and we hope to make all our future students’ experiences as successful as yours! - Ellen
I have been living at Causeway View for a year so far and I would recommend this property to anyone I knew knowing full well that they would be more that satisfied with their experience here also. the property is beautiful inside and out. the staff are so lovely and friendly, for example, a staff member who helped me today (Gen) made conversation with me and helped me with such grace and kindness. I have planned on staying here next year also and I hope it will be as great as this year!
It is so encouraging for us to hear that you enjoyed your time with us at Causeway View! Our newest property, it is a fifteen-minute walk to the University of Aberdeen with bus links to Robert Gordon University, and close to big supermarkets as well as the city centre. Our staff endeavour to create an as welcoming and supportive atmosphere as possible and will be so happy to know that their efforts paid off. Thank you so much for your kind words, which we will pass along to Gen who will be over the moon, and we hope your next year with us is equally as positive as the last! - Ellen
This year has been awful at causeway. They hired security, fair enough, but the security got a bit power hungry and started asking for not only your key card but your unite app too and if you couldn’t show both then they wouldn’t let you in?? My flat complained numerous times about our neighbours keeping us up through the night, all unite did was send them an email. This didn’t help the situation at all. For most of my stay the gym and social areas have been closed, which is due to government guidelines. But unite are money hungry and haven’t offered any kind of discount for those facilities not being useable, like the printer. Wifi goes down all the time, a friend in another flat doesn’t even have strong enough wifi to do her online lectures. Wifi was down for the good part of 2 days leaving me unable to complete an exam, no apology/refund/discount. Personally, not the best place to stay. Not enough characters left to be able to explain the rest but don’t stay here,not worth it
We are very sorry to hear that you had a less than ideal experience at Causeway View this year. While student safety is our number one priority, the behaviour noted here by the security team is not acceptable and your feedback will be passed along to ensure this does not happen again. Our safety team do their very best to respond to noise complaints and our on-site team then follow up with the flats. Our partner Glide is responsible for our Wi-Fi and does its best to provide stable and high-speed internet. If you would like to get in contact with them, their details can be found here. Our on-site gym and social areas were closed due to government guidelines, the adherence to which was of vital importance to us to stop the spread of Covid-19. They are included in the price of the accommodation as a perk and we do not charge extra for their use. Thank you for your feedback which is invaluable to us and encourages us to further better our service. If you would like to further discuss any of these issues you can contact us at aberdeen@unitestudents.com - Ellen
Great central location in the city (you can easily walk to practically anywhere you want to go). Only 5 mins from two big supermarkets and an extra 10 mins to another. Staff are so helpful and maintenance are always quick to fix issues. Rooms are nice and spacious. and well decorated. Have spent 3 years here, feels like a second home. Would highly reccomend!

We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us at Causeway View! Our partner Glide work very hard on providing the most stable and fast WiFi possible and we will be sure to pass your feedback on to them. Thank you for taking the time to review your experience! - Ellen
Cleansing during COVID is shocking, same cloth getting used on all unite properties, loud parties every night that unite refuse to do anything about, WiFi only works in certain areas.
We are so sorry to hear that you did not have an optimal experience during your time at Causeway View. Our housekeeping team work very hard to keep each of our properties clean and safe during the pandemic; we can assure you that they would not all have used the same cloth across eight properties. Our safety team do their best to respond to all noise complaints, they will be grateful for your feedback on this issue. We work together with our partner Glide to provide stable, high-speed WiFi and are always working on improving their coverage. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review as we are always looking for ways to better our service! - Ellen

Great location, helpful staff and the bonus of a gym on-site. Relaxed atmosphere I found to be homely and welcoming.
Rude staff, maintenance issues not resolved - reported 3 times and still not fixed. Overall safety of the building is a joke. Fires keep getting started in corridors yet the fire alarms don’t activate despite the smell of smoke throughout the building. Overall experience makes prison life seem like a more humane experience than living at causeway view.
The rooms are modern and spacious, lots of common area for hanging out and studying, an equipped gym on site with no extra charge. Staff on site day and night are friendly and helpful - a fantastic experience.
