I could not have had a better flat for my first time living alone - spacious, comfortable, good resources. However, I was not fully able to enjoy the flat as I was not close with my flatmates, who otherwise were their own happy family, and so I could not relax in the lounge when I wanted and felt uncomfortable even going into the kitchen to cook. Therefore, I felt my time in the flat and the money I spent was partly wasted, not to the fault of anyone specifically but still a sad fact.

Was very good as I was able to make lots of friends.
Thanks for your review I am glad you enjoyed your time at Belmont and made lots of friends :)
Good experience and a great team working to ensure functioning of the properties.
Thanks for your review I am glad you had a great experience :)
amazing time here, made friends for life
Thanks for the review I am glad you had a great experience :)
Can't complain as a student at the University, I would say it is the best and well kept flat for the money you pay.
Thank you for your review :)
This place is not a dump like iQ. I was surprised. Very nice
Thanks for your review :)
the best student accommodation on campus.
Glad you enjoyed the accommodation :)
I thought the price of £6,600 was a very high when compared to other accommodations in other cities. The washing machine service on site was inconsistent at best. For hundreds of students there was only 4 machines working at any given time. It took weeks for a broken one to be fixed. The app rarely worked as well. The flat itself was adequate. The best part of staying in Belmont was the excellent location, you were so close everywhere you had to go to such as; classes, the sports centre, DUSA, shops, pubs/clubs.
Thanks for your review :), We are sorry you had issue with the Laundry on site. We are working with our laundry provider to upgrade and improve the laundry this summer, including adding additional machines and Circuit Laundry is improving their app.
Couldn’t imagine my first year experience to be anywhere else, best staff and amazing location
I am glad you enjoyed your experience :)
mostly positive but my flat were not massively social so I found my friends through clubs/societies rooms are very spacious but i had a consistent issue with my radiator and bathroom light which is why i only gave 1 star for value for money
We are sorry to hear you had maintenance issues in your flat. We do try to resolve with a first time fix - but sometimes issues are more complex and take time to resolve. thanks for your feedback.
Has been a great experience so far!
thank you for your positive review!
Wifi went down on at least four or five occasions for a couple days at a time, flat visits to fix showers or check water were scheduled numerous times before someone actually came round. On one occasion a member of staff let themselves into my room without knocking and usually when work had been done I had muddy footprints and trash thrown into my toilet. Fans in everyone’s bathrooms, despite not working since before moving in, were not fixed until shortly before moving out. I had numerous issues with my radiator not working at all or being too hot. The rest of my problems with my accommodation were due to messy flatmates. Overall, a very expensive accommodation despite how difficult it was to actually get people to sort things out.
Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry you had several issues during your stay and that they were not resolved quickly. We strive for a first time fix, but some issues take time to resolve due to the complexity of the systems installed.

Hi - thanks for your review. We are sorry that you did not bond with your flatmates and this affected your stay with us.
On uni campus, close to city centre and shops. Friendly and helpful staff. Great accommodation overall
thank you for your review!
Good experience and close to classes and conveniently located for most things.
thank you for your review!
Couldn’t use Tv/ devices on wifi. No social areas apart from kitchen
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you were unable to use your devices on the WiFi, the University provides support through help4U@dundee.ac.uk for any connection issue and there is guidance on the website on how to connect devices through the StudentResidences WiFi
Fantastic student accommodation right next to the university, made adapting to university easier and offered social events in the Union closeby
Thank you for your review!
Most ideal location for students as it’s right on campus - so close to all the lecture buildings and the Union, practically the Center of campus. Great to meet new people as so many flats to interact with and also the Belmont tower.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Belmont
Belmont flats was excellent in terms of proximity to my morning classes, but issues brought up with the accommodation office took far too long to be resolved if at all.
thank you for your review - we are sorry that you feel that we did not resolve issues you raised with us.
I've enjoyed the 2 years I spent in Belmont, living close to the city centre:)
Thank you for your review - we are happy you have enjoyed your stay at Belmont!
Loved the location and all the flats next to eachother made it very easy to socialise on a night out :)
Thanks for your review - we are pleased you enjoyed the location of Belmont!
Belmont flats is slightly more expensive than those in the area, however i still believe it was an excellent place to stay for first year especially; it is on campus so not far from schooling at all, and most students living in this accommodation are also first year students.
thank you for your review!
Lovely place to stay for first year, lots if opportunities to socialise and make friends. Management were very helpful and kind
Thank you for your kind review!
Location is excellent, right in the centre of campus - close to all classes and University hosted social events. Flats have a kitchen/living area good for socialising, however other accommodations have common rooms that come with TV’s (Netflix included) and other amenities that make for better socialising. Most issues have been acknowledged in a timely manner, however repairs have taken slightly longer than ideal (we went just over a week without a working hob, and our extractor fan was broken for at least a fortnight). Hallways and stairwells outside the flats are cleaned once a week. Laundry is managed by an external company and has been a nightmare, there are limited facilities to begin with (5 washers and dryers for 360 students), but almost always one washer was broken. If given the option to buy a laundry card, I would highly recommend it as if there are any wifi issues the laundry app will not work - which has been a problem for 6 weeks straight.
Thank you for your review. We will take on board your comments with regards to the length of time to fix maintenance issues. The Laundry provider will be upgrading all our laundries over the summer adding an additional machines where possible and improving the way to pay for the services
Probably one of the best first-year accommodations available. Although slightly pricey, I would say it is worth the money. I think the best part is the location, it is directly across from the ISE (sport and exercise building) and super close to the student union (DUSA). Belmont flats have the reputation of being party central, and I can confirm that is pretty accurate. But it is a great way to meet more people.
Many thanks for your review and sounds like you had a great time at Belmont Flats! One of the many benefits of being in University accommodation is the friendships that you make.
Great if you have the money to spend to live on campus. Belmont Tower is a great, slightly cheaper, alternative. No cleaning provided, and the only ‘social space’ was individual living rooms/kitchens but that’s fine for hosting
Hi - thanks for your review. Belmont Tower now has social space in the form of TV room for all residents to use that is located in the ground floor of the main building and is open daily. We have installed a smart TV with a netflix account for residents to use and residents are welcome to use their own other streaming services on the TV.
It is ok in general but definitely not worth the £700 per month in rent. This includes bills, but you can find other places in Dundee where the total expenses are £200-£300 less. If you’re happy to pay £700 per month for just a room and a shared kitchen then by all means, go for Belmont. Having said that, the location is good as it is on campus and a 10-minute walk from the city centre so all the necessities are nearby. However, I would advise people considering Student Halls here to really ask themselves if paying that money is really worth it. Sanctuary Students know people won’t look elsewhere, or even consider renting with an agency or landlord, because they have moved far away and in their eyes students have nowhere else to go, so they hike up the rent prices because they know students will pay it. They don’t give a good service. They are entirely about profit.
Loved all my Flatmates, but it's so expensive in comparison to the city.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased you go on with all your flatmates. We try to ensure that the all inclusive rents are in line with other Student Halls
Great facilities, no cleaning service.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are please you feel Belmont Flats has great facilities. Although there is no cleaning service within the individual flats themselves, the laundry and common stairs are cleaned regularly
Very expensive, but good location and quite big rooms.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased you liked the location and the spacious rooms. Our all inclusive prices are competitive with other student halls and have 24/7 staffing, inclusive utility bills and access to the University Wi Fi and wired network included
Awful people. Very noisy. Over priced. No maintenance. Lack of security. Doors don't lock properly.
Hi, thanks for your review, we are sorry that you did not enjoy. We have staff available 24/7 for support and we aim to resolve any maintenance issues reported to us within a reasonable timescale. Our 24 hour contact number should be used to report any noise issues at them time. The flat front doors lock automatically when closed.
Really enjoyed my experience in Belmont, very sociable and clean. Everything was fixed as soon as their was a problem
Hi, thanks for your review, it will be a great help to other students! Glad you enjoyed your experience and received good service when there was an issue
great wifi, great location, bit of a pest problem, great staff
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, sorry to read that there was a issue with pests in your flat. We aim to deal with any issues raised as soon as possible to eradicate any unwanted pests!
I felt that the flat mentors were a bit too "clingy" for lack of a better word. However, it's in the heart of the campus and great for socialising.
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, sorry that you felt the support provided was not what you expected, but enjoyed the location for socialising !
great halls, very good for living. bad thing is there is no common room
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! Glad you found Belmont to be a great residence to live in. Each flat has a large kitchen with lounge area to allow residents to socialise.
I met some of my best friends and colluages in here. It is on campus and it is safe, secure and modern. Love love LOVE the en suite facilities!
Thank you so much for your fabulous review!
Modern, en-suites in all bedrooms - expensive but but better standard of halls that other universities
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students!
Halls has been amazing. I've loved my flat mates and I have met so many new people
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! We are pleased you found the experience of living with us amazing!
Great experience, thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Perfect location, with all the services and amenities close by. Only issue is management team and cleaners seem to lack quite a bit sometimes. Flat atmosphere depends of flatmates but generally not bad, no major issues apart from cleaning kitchen.
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! Glad you enjoyed your time at Belmont and found the location perfect with all the amenities being so close. We are sorry you felt that the team did not provide the service you were expecting
Great for your first year at uni! A bit expensive though! Although you do get you own bathroom so that is a plus!
Hi - thanks for taking the time to leave a review, this will be a great help to other students! All our rooms have en-suite shower rooms and all utility bills, and 24/7 staff available included in the price
-ensuite bedrooms which are a bonus -cleaner for stairwell and lift -no communal social space which would be nice for socialising -strict security (both a bonus and a downfall) -nursing students accommodated together which is great for shift and term time
