Student Roost is the best student accommodation I've lived in, best value for money especially for what's offered and provided, the staff are amazing and so great to talk to, especially Eilidh the girl that runs the night shifts, super chill to hang with, she's got mad vibes. But all in all the rooms are amazing, the service is great and fast, the team/staff are amazing and friendly.

Zero complains living here after a not so perfect stay with a different provider last year. The building is always immaculate with friendly staff in reception - especially Kirsten who is always great when I’m in the mood for a yap. Gutted to be moving away this year or I’d stay forever!
Thank you very much for leaving us a review! We pride ourselves on keeping our beautiful buildings clean and yes, our lovely team are always happy to have a chat. We'll miss you!
Manager is rude, arrogant and sarcastic. She is a seriously unpleasant person who really should learn what the word sympathy actually means. How dare she treat this situation as something unimportant and expect us to still remain in that building which is disgusting and unclean most of the time. I'll be glad not to hear that fire alarm every single day too!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Please visit our website for our updated cancellation policy. We pride ourselves on keeping the buidling clean and tidy, please highlight any problems you see to our lovely reception team
Good facilities. Only problem is that Student Roost are not allowing early tenancy departure due to Corona virus. I'm now paying for a room I am not in
Hello, thank you for the nice comments on our stunning building! Please visit our website to see our updated cancellation policy
This accomodation did not allow students to cancel their tenancy after the COVID-19 outbreak. Very poor.
Hi! Thank you for leaving us a review, please refer to our website for our updated cancellation policy
Student Roost in Aberdeen - never booking again, horrible staff This is not a good accommodation at all, the alarm keeps going off and disrupting the residents all the time. Was horrible especially during exam session. The staff couldn’t even professionally handle the situation, instead they apologized by giving the residents candy. The staff is so unhelpful and don’t care whatsoever about the residents wellbeing or mental health. Would absolutely NOT advise people to live here. Also experienced the staff to be racially discriminating towards the residents. There is an unprofessional environment, I noticed the staff talking badly about the residents.
Hello! Thank you for leaving us a review. We're very sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay with us. Our team are all trained to deal with any fire alarm activations quickly and efficiently although unfortunately, we cannot control how or why it is set off. If you have any serious complaints about our team, please contact pittodrie.street@studentroost.co.uk
The building is very nice & modern and also close to the uni and bus stops. The site manager lets it down for the other staff with her bad attitude. Other than that it’s a nice place to stay
Thank you for leaving us a review and mentioning our beautiful buildings and fantastic location. We're happy to here that you have had good experiences with most of our lovely team and you can always contact pittodrie.street@studentroost.co.uk if there is anything you would like to discuss further
Good social spaces, shame the experience is ruined by the rude and ignorant management. The reception is advertised as open 24/7 but you'll be lucky if its open or the staff aren't away on break when you go to ask a question. Staff are desperate to get you to book for next year its annoying and they ask in a patronising manner, why would anyone want to rebook to live somewhere they can't control how often the fire alarm goes off, its basically every day how are you supposed to study and prepare for exams??
Thank you for leaving us a review. Our reception is manned 24/7 but we do sometimes need to leave the desk to assist students or patrol the buildings. We genuinely want our students to benefit from the best deal possible why is why we speak about our current offers and rebooking. Our fire alarms are made to a high standard and are only triggered by genuine sources. Plese contat our team team at pittodrie.street@studentroost.co.uk if there is anything we can do to improve your stay with us
As a second year student, student roost has been great in terms of university accommodation. The facilities are great as well the location. The staff are all friendly. Cara, Lisaa, SJ, Claire and Lindsay, Kirsten and Mitch are all accommodating and willing to help out. Levels of respect for our privacy is something that is lacking amongst the staff. (i.e. entering the flat as they please instead of knocking on the door). Other than that, I would highly recommend staying with student roost as it has been a great transition from university halls.
Thank you very much for leaving us a review. We're so happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay and experience with our brilliant team. We deifintiely do try to avoid going into flats or rooms without notification, and should always be knocking, whether our own team or contractors, so thank you for highlighting that this hasn't always been the case, we have now refreshed this training

Student Roost Pittodrie street is a pleasant place to stay, it's a 7-minute walk to The University of Aberdeen and around a 10-minute walk to the beach. The staff here are lovely, Cara, Lisaa, SJ, Claire and Lindsay, Kirsten and Mitch are all very friendly and helpful. Overall I would highly recommend Student Roost Pittodrie Street if you are considering studying at the Univerity of Aberdeen.
Thank you for leaving us a review. Yes, we are in a perfect location and thee is an amazing sea view from one of our roof terraces. Thnk you for giving shout outs to our team, we are always happy to help and love getting to know you all
I love this student accommodation. Perfect location and perfect facilities. Although I'd like to see more events done inside.
Thank you for taking the time out to review us. We're delighted to hear you are enjoying the facilities and our central location is great for both universities, the college and the great shops and restaurants in Aberdeen. Please keep an eye on our events calendar whilst we test out some new ideas!
Super comfortable home. I love it here.
Thank you so much for leaving us a review. We are very happy to hear you are loving your home and enjoying your stay with us!
All the staff are so friendly and helpful
Thanks for leaving us a review! We agree, our team is just the best!
The service is worth the stay. The bathroom,kitchen, and ambience of the common roo m is breathtaking
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so happy you are enjoying the service our fantastic team provides and we agree; the bedrooms and common spaces are out of this world!
Always feel at home here! Staff are very helpful. From flat 309 xx
Thank you so much for leaving us a review! We're so happy to hear you feel so at home and are enjoying the experience our awesome team provides. We love having you here and are doubly excited that you're staying with us again next year!
Our flatmate has taken in a twenty six year old in to the flat illegally! She’s not even a student. Sort it out! Twenty six year old brings back boyfriend! Disgusting!
Hello, usually with disputes, we suggest you talk yo to your flatmates in the first instance and if this doesn't work, then we can step in and mediate. Please contact us at pittodrie.street@studentroost.co.uk or visit our 24 hour reception and we will see if we can help
In answering this net promoter score for Pittodrie Street, Cara, Chloe, Kirsten, Lindsay and Lisa are all very helpful in any needs you may have and it’s particularly useful that reception is covered by a Duty Manager twenty four hours a day. Maintenance by Lindsay is carried out professionally very quickly. She will see you the next working day or even quicker! The only downfall is the other residents are singularly insular which is a lonely atmosphere.
Thank you so much for leaving us a review. I'm so happy to hear that you are having great experiences with our lovely team. We agree that it is so important to have somebody here 24 hours a day to help you out. We pride ourselves on having an on site maintenance team and the fact that Lindsay is so fab is an extra bonus! We will look into having events that encourage more interaction between you all - suggestions always welcome, of course! Thanks
Would not recommend living here, lots of social space but they never bother to do anything with it, staff dont speak to you, make it seem like its a problem when you ask a question
Thank you for leaving us a review. I'm very sorry you feel the team is not up to the standard that you, or indeed we, would expect, this is not the impression we want to give at all. I'm sorry if you have missed out on events in our social space - please visit reception if you have suggestions for any future events - we'd love to hear from you
Eilidh is an amazing person. She's always very nice and helpful. I can see that she cares about the job she is doing and is good at it.
Thank you for leaving us a review and for giving Eilidh a shout out! We really do care about what we do and it's so lovely that you can see it

Good value for money and great location
Thank you for your feedback.

We are also ideally loctated for the city centre shops, restaurants and the lively nightlife that Aberdeen has to offer. We always strive to be sensible with our pricing so that you get the most reasonably priced rooms possible

Eilidh is really really great, the best receptionist going, I like her face ;)
Thanks for the feedback on Eilidh - we think she's rather fab too! It's so nice that you all have somebody to speak to - and help with parcels, lockouts etc - during the night as well as daytime
I love living in pittodrie street especially because of how accommodative the staff are. Eilidh has been a warm friend to me during my stay
Thank for leaving us a review! I'm so glad you are enjoying living here so much and have had great experiences with our team. It's lovely to hear you've made a friend in them too

Rooms are good. Social space is very useful
Thanks for leaving us feedback. We're so happy that you enjoy our huge multi use social spaces, we think they are perfectly laid out and great for socialising, games, studying, eating and relaxing - whatever you like really!
DO NOT stay here if you care about sleep and your university studies. Fire alarm CONSTANTLY goes off, doesn’t matter what time. Staff are doing absolutely nothing. Hope one day it isn’t a real fire. Any issues while you are staying here, go high up, as this is absolutely pathetic. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. Our on site and head office teams have been working hard to find a solution to our fire alarms which keeps you all safe, which is our ultimate priority. I am happy to say that yesterday, an adjustment was made to our fire alarm system which should ensure the alarms are activated less often
Horrendous place to stay, think long & hard about wether you want woken multiple times of night by the fire alarm and then to be greeted by an on-site management team that frankly couldn't care less about how it makes you feel. The only two good things being the staff who work tirelessly despite poor leadership & the WIFI connection
Thank you for leaving us this feedback. We have completed an update on our fire alarm systems which should enusre the alarms are activated less often. I'm sorry you feel that the management team do not care, I can assure you this is not the case at all. Thank you for the positive comments about our on site teams and the wifi
Do not stay here! Fire alarm goes off every day and often multiple times during the night! Phone calls constantly cut off because of no signal. Also the deals which are offered are not always followed through! Still waiting on £200 voucher (which was a large part of my reason for booking) that was supposed to be given months ago.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. I'm happy to tell you that some updates have been made to our fire alarm system which should lessen the frequency of activations. If you visit reception, we can look into what has happened with your voucher
Staff are nice, good facilities
Thank you for this feedback. It's always great to hear good things about our on site team and we're so happy you are enjoying your stay with us
Everyone's so so lovely, and it's such a nice place to stay
Thank you so much for this feedback! We love having you stay with us and are looking forward to you living here again next year! The team love what we do and are super proud of our beautiful buildings
- Fire alarm goes off constantly - Staff confidentiality is very bad and often 'gossip' or share personal student information - Unhelpful of any issues such as faults etc - Female manager is the most helpful for any issues and is very professional
Thank you for taking the time out to review us; we are currently working with our head office team to find a safe way to reduce fire alarm activations. I'm sorry to hear that our on site team and the correcting of faults hasn't lived up to your expectations, please feel free to discuss with Kirsten, our Senior Operations Manager, at any time
Quite an unclean environment to live in, fire alarms go off constantly, the manager Kirstin is quite patronising in her tone and gives the impression she doesn't really care. Seems to be fake in her concern. I'll not be staying here for another year after this term.
Thank you for your review. We are generally really happy with the cleanliness in our buildings, please visit our 24 hour reception if you see anything in the common areas that isn't up to standard. At the moment, we are working to minimise fire alarm activations. We pride ourselves on the passion of our on site teams so I'm very sorry you haven't felt this during your stay
The fire alarm goes off literally every single day, even during the nights. Don't live here if you care about your ears or your sleep
Thank you for your review, we understand and feel your frustrations. We acknowledge the level of activations and I can confirm that our site and head office teams are currently working on a resolution which unifies the detector system and our student's busy lifestyles
Pittodrie Street is honestly the best place to live , social areas are second to none , staff are extremely helpful especially Chloe and Lisa ! Couldn't have chosen a better place to live this year , definitely rebooking.
Thank you very much for this feedback! Our huge social areas are spectacular and our friendly Customer Service Advisors are always happy to help! We'll look forward to having you live with us next year - booking is open!
Pittodrie street Student Roost is an amazing student accommodation to live in. The staff are available for contact at all times, the events calender is popping and the social are makes you feel las though you are at home. The staff member Chloe is especially helpful, friendly and caring towards all students. I couldn't have chosen a better place to live this year.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a great review! We are particulalry proud of our common spaces and we love that you've been been enjoying our events calendar. The whole team loves having you stay with us!
