I cannot vouch for the social experience as half of my stay here was at the height of the pandemic (i.e. the period from 03/20-07/20), and most of the friendships I had, were made in class as opposed to back at the accommodation. However I do know of quite a few people who became close friends with their flatmates, so my experience is not universal. In terms of location, Rialto Court is situated in a very convenient part, halfway between the town centre and the university. The best part about Rialto Court in my opinion, is the facilities and the staff; the staff were absolutely lovely and so incredibly helpful. On this basis, I cannot recommended it enough and I have very fond memories of my time there!

I am extremely disappointed with Rialto court! Staff are impolite and never give me parcels! My room is small and the water pressure is bad! I will never recommend any of my friends staying there, G house is definitely better…

It’s a good experience but I just have a major problem with the common room. I hope by next term it will be free use whereby any apartment can go in at the same time. Also, it can close at a later time
Hi, Thank you for your review, sadly during this lockdown period we have had to keep it to 1 apartment at a timedue to government guidelines, Hopefully we will be out of tier 3 soon and these restrictions can be lifted.
Everything is accepted and the pricing is fair, it’s always interesting to meet new people to live with.

Hi, Thank you for you review, we are really happy to hear you have enjoyed your time with us here at Rialto Court
It was a totally unforgettable experience at Rialto Court. I stayed nearly everyday because of the pandemic and I didn’t feel isolating at all because the communal kitchen is so well-equipped for gathering. Went through tough times during my stay and it was a very very good place from every perspective. The staff were so nice, big love to all of you.
Hi, We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Rialto Court through these tough times, Its certainly been a strange year and im very happy to know our staff have been able to make it that little bit more positive for you
Excellent accommodation. All the staffs work hard and care about us during the pandemic period.
Hi, Thank you for the very nice review, We are happy to hear you feel taken care of and enjoyed your stay at Rialto Court
The place is generally clean to live in and all, but some rooms have stains in the carpet and the kitchen in my apartment was not cleaned up after the previous tenant. Overall, it's a really great place to stay in.
Hi, I am sorry to hear that the room had not been cleaned this is something that we always try to make sure is completed after each and every Tenant, In regards to Stains on carpets, please remember that our accommodation office is open to report issues at any time of the day and generally resolved within a few days if not the same day
My room is so small. I’ve visited others like room. Most of them are 2 times bigger than mine. I pay the same amount of money as others. In the preference survey form, I put in I want to live in high floor. However, I was arranged on first floor. None of my requirements and preferences are met. This is totally unfair. I wouldn’t recommend any of my friends who are going to study in Durham ISC to have their accommodations in Rialto Court.
Hi, We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy, If you could please email me at rialtocourtenquiries@mezzino.co.uk with more information then we can look in to this further for you.
Jason is the best manager ever! Every manager is very helpful. WiFi works nice, easy to get to the university. The views from the windows are just amazing: the river and swans.

Best choice in Stockton-On-Tees. Porters are friendly and kind. Rialto also has the perfect location where near the market. Living here like back home.
