I live in a gold studio which is very spacious. It has a lot of place for storage. The interior is fantastic. Luckily i have 3 windows in my room so the ventilation is also good. It is located in the city center so its very convenient for students because everything is nearby (banks, markets, stations) . Our service assistant is also very helpful and friendly. The building is well maintained and clean. Overall I’m glad that i choose Granary Studios as my residence.

Q&A
Hello there,
Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us here at Granary Studios
Unfortunately, we do not offer parking on site. However, you may be able to purchase a parking permit from the council for Market Street Car Park which gives maximum security for you. The council offers a 35% discount on these permits and with Market Street Car Park being 3 minutes walk from Granary, you really couldnt get any closer :-)
Hope this helps
Kind Regards
Claire
General Manager

Hello there, thank you very much for taking the time to leave such kind and complimentary words for Granary Studios and in particular for James, our wonderful service assistant on site. We do strive to ensure everyone has a great time at Granary Studios and it is great that this has come across for yourself
Had an amazing experience so far. I wish the social room had a pool.
Thank you for your review and it is great to read that you are having such an amazing experience with us and we hope this continues for the rest of your stay :-) We have also taken on board your comments about a pool table and we will see about the possibility of having this included :-)
Fantastic accommodation, great staff and perfect location. The staff made me feel so welcome and they have been very accommodating.
Hello and thank you for such a positive review.... You like many other residents before have mentioned about the location of the property and as mentioned, we are in an ideal location, not far from the City centre for any shopping needs that our residents might have. Only a 10 minute walk to the nearest train station for easy transport when our residents want to go home with any of their washing :-) Only a 10 minute walk from the University Campuses, whether it be Parkgate or Riverside or Kingsway Campus Again it is lovely to read that the accommodation team have made you feel welcome in your new home, we strive to ensure that all of our residents feel part of a bigger family unit here at Granary Studios as we know it can be daunting being away from home
Made me feel at home straight away! Perfect location right in the city centre and staff are amazing always there to help if you need anything
Hello and wow... so great to read that you were made to feel at home straight away. Here at Fresh and Granary Studios we are well aware of how hard it can be to move away from home, so we really do try to go out of way to make sure you are happy with your new home.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind and descriptive words about your accommodation with us at Granary Studios. Our Gold studios really are spacious and as you have mentioned the majority of this room type really do offer a lot of natural light, which is great for residents wellbeing. As you have mentioned, Granary Studios does offer amble enough storage, however, this is not just in our Gold Studios, all our studios offer the same amount of storage, so plenty of room for your knick knacks regardless of the size of room choice. Our residents team are second to none and are always on hand should any of our residents require any assistance... they really will try their hands to anything to help others
It’s a money worth experience. Everything is well maintained and clean. Great location, very close to the city center. So everything is nearby.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. We completely agree, our Housekeeping Team really do take pride in the building and regularly ensure that the building is left clean and tidy and are always on hand should they be needed. Also, as mentioned in the majority of our reviews, you really couldn't get much closer to the City Centre as you can at Granary Studios
Granary studios are the cleanest, most modern and quiet accommodation for students I’ve found in Chester. The staff is so helpful and kind, so you will never feel abandoned. You will never regret you chose it.
Hi There, Thank you so much for leaving this great review. Completely agree, we do have one of the best housekeepers in Chester who takes great pride in her work, which clearly shows with your review. With our building being just studio accommodation, it does offer lovely quiet surroundings and then with our social events, our residents have the opportunity to all get together and have fun Again it is so lovely to read that the accommodation team have helped make you feel at home during your time at Chester We wish you all the best for your future
It’s a really lovely place to live in, feels like a safe home for international students far from home that’s the most amazing part.
We fully appreciate here at Granary Studios how hard it must be for our International friends to come so far away from home, so it is lovely to see that we have made you feel safe during your stay with us and we hope that we helped with any pangs of homesick you may have experienced. We thoroughly enjoy getting to know our International Family and getting to learn about all different cultures and experiences, it really does fascinate us at how different cultures can be Good luck for your future and if you are ever in Chester again, please feel free to call in and see us again
Good place to stay in Friendly staff Great facilities
Thank you for taking the time to write such positive feedback for us, it really is appreciated. We agree, our social space is ideal for the building and the perfect area to get toegther with your friends and either play a little foosball or chill and watch a movie. The added advantage of the the use of Tudor Place gym is also a massive bonus!!
Great location close to everything needed and very helpful staff
We couldnt agree more, Granary Studios really is in the centre of Chester and has everything that you could possibly need within walking distance. Thank you for your feedback about the team and we will be sure to pass this on Good luck for your future
A perfect place for a University student to live.
WOW.... what more can we add to your fabulous review... other than we completely agree obviously. What with the central location for both the City Centre and the University, what more could be offered to ensure our residents enjoy their time at University Thank you
An overall good experience, a great location and lovely staff (James on reception is great!) No out of hours security, which is not so ideal.
Thank you for your feedback and your kind words about 'Our James' - he really is an asset to Granary Studios Granary Studios is covered by an 'Out of Hours' Security service, so when a member of the team is not on site and should you need any assistance, the out of hours security service is available for all residents and a secuirty guard would be on site within a matter of minutes. So, there may be not a guard on site, but there is one available at any time. However, we will take your feedback on board. So lovely that overall, you had a good experience here at Granary Studios and we wish you all the best
Great place to live, quiet, clean and a great space for those who prefer something more private.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and we are so glad that you enjoyed your time here with us at Granary Studios. We completely agree with you that Granary is a quiet building, however with our ideal central location, the City centre and bars & restaurants are only a stones throw away and perfect walking distance.
It has been a great experience but a shame the COVID has disrupted the social aspect as this accommodation is all studios. Ideal location in Chester to both local amenities and campus
Thank you for your kind words and the team here at Granary Studios could not agree more. We love nothing more than organising and hosting social events to get to know our residents and for our residents to get to know each other, however, unfortunately this has not been as possible this past year as we would like. We have to abide by Government Guidelines that have been set for us, until it is safe for us all to socialise together again. We like you, have missed the social aspect, however, as rules changed during the pandemic, so did we. We adapted with the rules and created many virtual events for our residents to take part in, which we realise is not the same, however we hope that you were able to take part
Really enjoy living here. Friendly staff and so nice to be living close to the city centre
So glad to see that you enjoyed living with us at Granary Studios and again, our proximity to the city centre is incredibly convenient. Also, with us only being a ten minute walk from the three University Campuses, Granary really is ideally located for all of your needs. Our resident teams prides itself as being there for each and every resident and we are there to help at every stage of this journey with you all
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time living in Granary studios, the facilities are great and the staff are really helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, especially one that is so positive of your experience here at Granary Studios
Fully furnished room with quiet environment. Best for single type of occupancy. All bills included within rent. Free access to fast Internet (speed up to 20mb downloading speed) and tudor place gym. Worth every single penny spend on it. It's just like living under paradise!
We are so glad that you like your room at Granary, so much so, you compared it to paradise....WOW We do have larger size studios, for example our Deluxe and Gold studios that are ideal for dual occupancy should this be something that you would be interested in :-)
Claire is amazing and she can sort out anything for you! Studios are great, location is in the beginning of the centre and it’s close to everywhere!
We really do pride ourselves on having a great team at Granary Studios, where we are all here to help with any problem that may arise. It is great that as well as the team being amazing, you throuughly enjoyed the accommodation that has been provided
Unfortunately, it's such a shame the place was NOT BUILT LAST YEAR!!!! Would have much prefered living here last year than another student accommodation not far from this place. I am only 2 weeks in, however, I have never felt happier in my life, the residents are absolutely amazing people, AND so are the staff not a bad word to say about anyone or anything, Thank you to Claire and Lorna for making me feel so welcomed. I would 100% recommend this place!! I am currently in a Gold Studio by myself and I couldn't have picked a better studio (even though they are all great). Will definitely be staying here for the rest of my university life! Granary Studios stands by its motto "Fresh Start with Fresh!"
We are sorry to read that your first experience was not what you wanted, however, we are so glad to read that Granary Studios retsored your faith in student accommodation and has provided your with a happier life. With the building being slightly smaller in size, we are really able to create a warm and social environment for all of our residents and year on year, residents get to know each other well in Granary. Thank you for your very kind words
What can I say? This is an absolutely lovely place to live. We're a week in now and me and my girlfriend have moved into a Deluxe studio and its amazing! The space, the view, the appliances is all just fantastic. Storage is everywhere and never short of it, the rooms are brand new and modern! It has an amazing, cosy social space which is where the Manager, Claire, and staff member, Lorna, held a big welcome party for those that moved in, where we played some games, eat pizza, cakes, sweets, chocolate... you name it, and had a good chat and a laugh so we all got to knew each other! Overall, what an amazing place to live! We have only lived in one other location beforehand and this is definitely the best decision we made :)
Thank you very much for your lovely words about the building, your room choice and the team at Granary Studios. We love to organise social events as we want to get to know you all as much as we want our residents to get to know each other. Unfortunately during COVID, we have not been able to do as many face to face social events, however, as the restrictions continue to release, we aim to make the most of this and start to organise social events to be remembered!!
Lovely place, me and my boyfriend have just moved into a deluxe studio and it’s big and spacious and the best studios I have seen in Chester! The manager and staff Lorna are lovely & they threw us a lovely welcome party with pizza to get to know the other students that moved in as well! It was a quick and easy way to get to know each other! All round Granary is the best place so far as there was a problem discovered with my phone in my room and the electrician was called the next day! I cannot say thank you enough.
Our deluxe studios certainly are big and spacious... with 29sqm of space, there really is enough space to bring the kitchen sink when you move in. Not that you need to as our studios are furnished to a high standard. We endeavur to resolve any mainteance issues quick and efficiently as we would not want any of our residents to be without any services.
Lovely staff!!!! Can’t wait to move in! Lovely clean place, staff are more than helpful with the booking process! Can’t wait to move to Chester now in September ☺️☺️☺️
Thank you for your very kinds words about Granary Studios and the team and we are glad that we were able to help you with the booking process
I can't recommend this place enough and it isn't even built yet! Claire the onsite manager is truly amazing, she is there for us with anything and we haven't even moved in yet. I truly cannot wait to move in, in September. Claire helped me and my boyfriend secure the deluxe studio we wanted and went out of her way to get us a hard hat and boots to show us our new room. The social events they will be holding will be amazing including freebie friday, pizza night and more! This place already feels like home to us and we aren't even there yet! please if you have change go and check it out, you will not regret this! So so happy to say i will be living there in September and cannot thank Claire enough for all the help.
What great words you have shared, especially considering at the time, the building had not been finished at the time of viewing. We do miss wearing those hard hats and safety boots to walk around Granary to showcase what we were going to be able to offer Our social events calendar has somewhat changed over the last 18 months, however, please watch this space because the events of the past are coming back, bigger and bolder than before.
