Most helpful review

I am currently staying here and have nothing bad to say. The reception staff Michelle and Adam are always friendly and helpful, the university is only a 10-15 minute walk away and a lot of the nightlife is only a couple of minutes away. I look forward to staying here again next year.

First, the building is still prone to fires. Came from London for studies (drama school) the property manager Michelle, sits at the reception every day and tends to pick her favourite students , which can make your stay very uncomfortable if she doesn't like the look of you, again you have to see her every day. Maintenance and the cleaner lady are lovely but other staff tend to change often because of ............Me and my mate tended to start avoiding the accommodation within her working hours as your place to rest should not be stressful, especially if you are a student at a STUDENT ACCOM. Don't be fooled by the front she puts up at the start btw. Cheap appliances are also bought like microwaves, and ovens and you are charged for that if it is faulty at the end of your stay. Even if it's electrically faulty. Management needs to drastically change...Two stars cause the building is alright, I reckon the owners a cool and they just don't know

The staff at reception are always very helpful, friendly and welcoming. They always seem happy to talk to you. The studio accommodation meets the high standards of your needs, as well as being good value for money. Not to mention a free gym and a laundry room with enough machines to never wait having to wait for your turn. The Cube also offers parking space for your vehicle or if you need to drop something off, with a high security standard.

I am currently staying here and it is a great place. The rooms are well equipt and it is in a really convenient location being only 10 minutes from the university and minutes away from any night life. The staff are amazing and the reception staff Michelle and Adam always try to say hello if they see you and make you feel welcome. There are also small events that go on from pool competitions to fun sports days, its a really good place to live.

A very modern and well-built building, accommodating student living spaces, spacious communal areas, and fully-equipped kitchens. The rooms are spacious with en-suite bathrooms, and they are well-ventilated, and very warm, all day long! Situated right in the heart of Bolton Town Centre (Bradshawgate), with shops, restaurants, public services and transportation at the feet of the accommodation!!

Rooms are fairly big for the price you pay, mattresses are horrible so I would recommend you to buy a new one if possible. There’s just one fridge per flat, if you’re 6 you have to be able to share it together, staff is really nice and friendly tbh

My experience at The Cube Bolton has been awesome so far. I moved in February, and I have not had any regrets yet. The staff (Mitchell's, Adam and Bright) are awesome and always ready to answer all of my questions, even the silliest ones, lol. Location is good because it's very close to school, the environment is always neat, the students are always also very welcoming. I endorse this place for any student looking for an accommodation. What I have seen here so far beat all my earlier expectations and I am so impressed.

What a great experience its been during my first month in the Cube. Perfect place to stay especially for students, here are a few things that made my stay so nice: 1. Walking distance to the Uni, bus station and train station. 2. Cooperative management, solved a few problems I had. 3. Clean place, always so clean. 4. Value for money considering the included gym, security etc considering the rent is so high in the area. Pleasure staying here :)

I love staying at the cube, the facilities are really good and it’s a good value for money, I love seeing Natalie and Michelle everyday.. they make my days a lot brighter when I come home from a stressful day of uni and also push me to go to uni when I don’t want to, they’re basically like my second mums and they are the people that I can turn to when I need some guidance. They plan loads of fun activities that I always attend and it’s made my experience here so much better.

Michelle and Natalie are amazing and super friendly. Couldn’t recommend this place more. It’s a brilliant location too, minutes walk away from uni, the train and bus stations and all the shops and restaurants etc. The courtyard is lovely too.

This is my first year living in The Cube, and as a third year student who is in University 4/5 days a week, the location is ideal! Only a 10 minute walk to the Uni and a prime location for shops (and some nightlife, not all work and no play) The receptionists, Natalie and Michelle are FANTASTIC! They are the friendliest face in the morning to wish you well and there on return to ask you about your day. They are on hand with absolutely everything and made the transition back into student halls so comfortable for me. Not only is everything run smooth by them, they are just genuinely lovely people! I’m gutted I didn’t stay in this accommodation sooner.

Anyone moving into Bolton for college should definitely consider The Cube for accommodation. The amenities which include the common area are well maintained with regular cleaning and Maintainance. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is equipped with the latest appliances. The location is bang in the middle of the town centre and is literally 2 minutes away from the train and bus stations. The university is about a 10-minute walk in the same direction. Natalie, Michell, and other property management team members are always available and are very responsive to inputs. They do a fantastic job and have made my stay at The Cube a very pleasant one indeed!
