Great value for money for the space you get, i always get called posh for where i live because of how immaculate the property is and how it looks. Ideal location as it's only a 10 minute walk to both campus and work for me. Now we have a cinema right on our doorstep what more could you want!

Perfect sized accomodation. Great space to live cofortably but still have the social aspect. Building is always tidy and inviting. Location is great only 10 min walk to campus which is always useful.
We completely agree with you that Granary is ideally placed. An ideal central location, the city centre and bars & restaurants are only a stone’s throw away and perfect walking distance to the university campus.
Great accomodation. Will be rebooking for next year as i have found the accomodation welcoming and easy to socialise. Staff are always helpful and i always feel that I can come to them with something.
Thank you for such kind words! We do our very best to accommodate and help all residents at Granary Studios. We are so glad that you have found the experience a positive one and look forward to seeing you next year.
An amazing accomodation, with staff that are caring and look out for us. We are in the city centre, so always something to do. Claire is a great property manager and Jess is always availble in the office to offer assistance.
Once again, we are overwhelmed by the positive feedback, this is truly heart-warming to see such a great response to our services and accommodation team. Jess is a truly wonderful addition to the team, and we look forward to many more years of her service to the residents and building.
Excellent accomodation, always clean and lovely. Staff are very attentive and always looking out for us. Wellbeing information is always shared and staff are always a quick email away.
Wow.... what wonderful feedback! Our Granary Studios Cleaner will be so touched to hear such a great comment. Our Housekeeper takes amazing pride in the work that they carry out, which absolutely shows in the quality of cleanliness in the building. Thank you very much for the review.
A great accomodation with lots of social events. Clearning of the communal areas is 100% and the managment team are always there for me. They are knowledgable and i will be rebooking for next year.
Fantastic to hear of another potential rebooker! We are looking forward to hopefully welcoming you back next year, with lots more social events and activities to come.
I have stayed at this accomodation for multiple years now and have always felt welcomed and listened too. The accomodation team (Claire and Jess) is excellent and afre always attentive and deal with any issues I have promptly. Would 100% reccomend.

A wonderful accomodation! Jess and Claire and lovely and welcoming and have always made the place feel like a home. Staff always go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable.
Lovely and clean accomodation that provides everything I need. I am very happy here and have found making friends easy enough in a studio building. Wellbeing by staff is ace and I feel valued!
Excellent accomodation, this is my second year here and i would never think to choose elsewhere. Social events have been exceptional in recent months with staff trying really hard and always super helpful. Even issues not relating to the accomodation, the staff have still helped me through.
been so much better now jess is in the office😎😎 love you claire and jess
Granary studios is the best accomodation it has a perfect location surrounding town and public transport links its a very spacious accomodation i feel very happy here and i love having my own kitchen and bathroom as havung my own space is important for me so its perfect
A lovely warm social environment, where everyone can get along with clean and functioning facilities.
Had a great year here, however online it is advertised as having staff onsite 24/7 - this is not true as there is only staff 8-5 if lucky. Most times 8am-1pm. No overnight staff and when they were requested due to a broken entrance, they were unfriendly and unreasonably aggressive.
Wonderful staff who are friendly and easy to approach. Studios are definitely worth every penny as the furniture they come with are good quality and the mattresses are comfortable. Lots of small events/online presence (such as helpful tips for budgeting etc. on the Instagram page).
The staff are always friendly and amazing to be with. Security offer a fast service but could be a little bit friendlier. The location is 10/10 close to my town everything within a 5 - 10 minute walk.
Excellent facilities & location with friendly and understanding staff
Being a 1st year student, opting for a studio rather than a flat share or house share, granary is a really comfortable place to settle in on your own, the rooms have more than enough space even for a bronze, social space and events could be used a lot more, the company could help fund more events for the students here as it has been hard to meet people here with them being studios accommodation.
Claire is an exceptional member of Granary Studios. She has looked after me from day 1. Always helping me in times of need. Not just due to my accommodation but as well as general life.
Awwww.... it so nice to hear such positive feedback regarding our staff members.... this shows that the accommodation team are doing a great job to make you feel so much at home. Thank you for the lovely comment.
Lovely and friendly environment, management is always there when you need support with anything. Amazing staff and they made me feel at home
Thank you very much for leaving such lovely feedback. As a team we really try to ensure that your new home becomes a home away from home for you so it is lovely to read that you feel so at home at Granary Studios
Spacious and comfortable flats with a modern design, has everything I need. The management team is always friendly and easy to reach with any queries, plus they keep us up to date with everything via email.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your lovely feedback. Your comments are a testiment to the constuction company that built Granary nearly four years ago now, for you to state about the modern design of the building. They truly captured a design that would stand the test of time.
Staying at Granary studios is fantastic. The rooms are very conducive, and the location is central such that you never have to worry about getting to the main areas in Chester on time.
We could not agree more.... Granary Studios really is in a central location in Chester. With the City Centre being only a 5 minute walk away and the University only a 10 minute walk away, it really is not hard to easily get yourself around.
location is amazing!! also extremely clean, very friendly and accommodating staff. I love living here so much I’m going to live here again next year
Yaay.... it so nice to read that you have enjoyed Granary Studios that much, that you are going to stay with us again next year.... this shows that the accommodation team along with the building and its facilities are doing a great job to make you feel so much at home.
Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, loveliest staff and will always say hi when passing by. The most helpful and supportive people ever. Facilities amazing anything you need help with is immediately dealt with. Cleaner in every week to ensure social spaces are intact. And also super comfortable !
Wow.... what lovely feedback!! It is so nice that you have mentioned about our Granary Studios Cleaner because so often, they are the unsung heroes of any building. Our Housekeeeper takes amazing pride in the work that they carry out, which absolutely shows in our building and as said, it is great that you have included this in your review. Thank you very much
Great facilities and building. At the minute there is often no people in the office but they are still making do after losing a valuable worker (James).
Thank you for your feedback. Completely agree, James was a very valuable member of the team and it has proven difficult to find a replacement who is just as good. However, we do believe we have found this now and that normal office hours will resume soon. Even if the office is closed, a member of the accommodation team is available 24/7 and always responds to give assistance.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year stsying at Granary Studios. It is very clean and all of the appliances are exceptional.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, your feedback is invaluable. We, the same as you, believe that Granary Studios is a great place to live and offers all the necessary appliances and amentities to ensure everyone's stay is pleasant and enjoyable.
Staff fantastic Great Modern Studios! Overall Amazing Place To Live !
Thank you so much for your lovely words. It is great to read that overall, you believe Granary Studios to be an amazing place to live
Granary studios provides the best services its clean and friendly. Mainly james who has been there and helped us.
Had an amazing experience so far. I wish the social room had a pool.
Fantastic accommodation, great staff and perfect location. The staff made me feel so welcome and they have been very accommodating.
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
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.
It’s a money worth experience. Everything is well maintained and clean. Great location, very close to the city center. So everything is nearby.
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.
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.
Good place to stay in Friendly staff Great facilities
Great location close to everything needed and very helpful staff
A perfect place for a University student to live.
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.
Great place to live, quiet, clean and a great space for those who prefer something more private.
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
Really enjoy living here. Friendly staff and so nice to be living close to the city centre
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time living in Granary studios, the facilities are great and the staff are really helpful.
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!
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!
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!"
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 :)
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.
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 ☺️☺️☺️
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.
