Pittville Reviews

Very badly ran halls. Moved in with no working toilet. Great start. Wasn't fixed for nearly a week. Room hadn't been cleaned and was mouldy prior to moving in. The photos I was shown look nothing like my room. Can barely open my windows to ventilate room. Curtains only allow one window to be opened at a time. Staff are rude. Kitchen tap makes very loud noise and leaks. Wifi doesn't work well. The list goes on. Paying far too much for what you get. Do NOT live here!!!

New this year. Hot and hot running water in some rooms. Cold and cold in others. Great way to meet people, needing to borrow a shower.

During my first year at uni I was placed in Pittville halls of residence. It was a building site for my whole stay there, it's quite far away from campuses on foot 25-30mins approx. Staff were not that friendly and didn't care for complaints or issues. My ensuite was very unclean and dusty, one of the taps didn't work and the toilet didn't flush properly and still to the last day they didn't bother fixing the toilet. On the first day the bathroom mirror door broke and I had to pay for replacement hinges. Social space is a tiny room shared between 5-6 students, the students i lived with were very rude, loud and unfriendly and after emails of complaints and transfer requests to head of Pittville accommodation they did nothing to help with the issue. For the price of accommodation which was over £5000 a year and is increasing next year I would not say it's worth it at all, I had a terrible first year living experience.
