Would not recommend unless really stuck for anywhere else. Highly advise you look at other options. Being very close to Aberdeen Uni is the main benefit. Rooms are very small and lack good storage. The under the bed storage seems useful except that you have to move the mattress to get into it so it's not practical for regular access. The Bathrooms are very poorly ventilated and you can strongly smell everyone's cooking in your bathroom as the minimal ventilation they do have is all connected. The windows don't open fully. Make sure your room has natural light access. Some of the rooms are blocked in by the Złoty shop and so get no sunlight at all. The walls are paper thin so you better hope you neighbour doesn't like "singing" at 3am every night. Some of the staff are really kind and helpful and some are completely useless and don't seem to have a clue what is going on. Random fire alarm test and vague notice about when they might need access. AVOID!

King Street Exchange is a really nice place to live. It is 5 minutes from the University of Aberdeen and 10 min from Lidl. I have amazing flatmates and I will probably keep in touch with them for a long time. The people working in the accomodation are really helpful and nice to talk to. The only thing I would regret is not having more socials organised with other Every student accomodations.

It's fine. The location is ideal (right beside the university). The wifi is great and I had no issues with it. The front desk staff are a bit of a mix. Some of them are great but some are extremely unhelpful. There isn't much for social space and it's challenging to meet people. I would recommend it for a reasonably priced accommodation, but don't expect too much extra

The location is excellent – it's only a short walk to campus, and there are plenty of restaurants, shops, and other amenities nearby. The staff were always friendly and helpful whenever I had any questions or issues. They were also very responsive when it came to maintenance requests, and any problems I had were always resolved quickly.

Great accommodation. Really friendly and helpful staff. Paul has done an amazing job. Washing machines are annoying as don’t always connect and also having to pay out for washing is an extra expense not needed. Also need a social space in king street for events and to chill

There are no disadvantages except that the room is small. In particular, I was very satisfied with the delivery. I would receive an email to remind me that the delivery had arrived. Paul was also very responsible and careful. All in all, very good.

I am an engineering student at Aberdeen University and I have lived at King Street Exchange for the last 2 years (booked on for a 3rd year). Value for money is excellent, all bills included in a safe area, lovely warm rooms with your own bathroom, under bed storage and lightning fast internet (I get 80 mb/s download). You have an app on your phone for any issues including maintenance, lockouts or noise complaints with staff available 24/7! I was seriously ill last February and my parents embarrassingly were able to have a member of staff check on me (I was sleeping all day). The location is truly best case scenario. Within 5 min walk you have: Aberdeen University, Lidl, take-aways, barber, SPAR, pubs, Aberdeen Sports village <- amazing facility and super cheap for students. Angela the site manager is very friendly and keeps everyone up to date with news and events happening around Aberdeen via information boards. Anything I have ever needed has been taken care of immediately.
