I lived in a studio flat the previous year with my own kitchen. This year I switched to James house so I shared a kitchen and doing this found myself socialising easier. Found many of my flatmates interesting and easy to talk to along with management staff who were always friendly and helpful. The bus stop nearby is less than 5 min walk and is at the beginning of the U1 bus route making it easier to get a seat. Cleaning is done by yourself for your room and as a flat for the flat kitchen. So cleanliness depends on your flatmates.

Cons: - Extremely bad soundproofing. You can hear other people closing their room doors, you can hear water running through the pipes in the wall, you can hear cars passing by outside, you can ever hear your flatmate's alarm go off in the morning from the room next door! Definitely not a good place if you want something quiet. - No cleaning service provided for the shared kitchen spaces. For the price you are paying, kitchen cleaning should be included. However, they leave it up to the flat to keep clean and if your flatmates do not care, the kitchen becomes unhygienic and potentially dangerous quickly. Heck, for half the price, University of Bath managed accommodation had a cleaner clean the kitchen once a week! - No social events. Everyone keep to themselves or small groups of friends from their country. Management very rarely organizes events and should really put more effort to solve this issue.

Room is abit pricey but I would say all the other services added live up to the price. The staff are lovely! so so friendly :) i would say the only thing I would like for JH to improve is the internet - for school work it is mostly fine; for everything else that involves downloading and video streaming ( watching lectures + youtube etc ) it can be really slow in the evening

James House is overall really good. The location is great, right next to a super market, a five minute walk to the city center, and a ten minute walk to the train station. The property is on the pricey side, but it’s clean and the social spaces and activities are great. The staffs are friendly and attentive. Issues are fixed quite fast. The Wi-Fi is slow, but manageable. Overall, I would recommend if you can afford the place.

Whilst the reception staff are lovely, they can be a little too friendly when coming back and wanting to go to your room, but they are lovely and will help you with anything. The furnishings are the cheapest anyone could imagine, every room I have been into their sink leaks, there is mold in the corridors, the oven is what I can only describe as destitute, the noise from the bus stop on one side and the Sainsbury’s on the other means no one can sleep, and for the minimum price of 13k i would rather be in a premier inn than here. Oh and the wifi is completely useless and unusable
