Marketgait is an outstanding student accommodation! The manager Stuart is amazing as is the maintanence man Kevin. The flats are lovely and the common room is great for meeting people and just in general a great touch. Such a convenient location too in the city centre, and literally a 10 minute walk max to Dundee University. I would highly recommend Marketgait to anyone looking for accommodation in Dundee, so delighted that I've spent first year there and looking forward to being back for 2nd year.

The experience has been nothing short of spectacular and the assistance from the property manager has been amazing and helpful. They are informative, the distance between school and the city centre is close and the facilities are all top notch. Additionally, the wifi is just literally amazing and I could not ask for a better speed.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! I'm delighted you're enjoying your stay with us and look forward to having you stay again next year! We couldn't agree more, the locality to city centre, university, supermarkets etc. is super handy!! Thanks Stuart
Surprised this has a lot of reviews its definitely fake and looks like its bulk bought cause its so similar. here's my experience after a dreadful year at Marketgait, first day of moving in the door handle came out in my hand and I phoned them to help they said no ones here wait in tomorrow and i stayed locked in. 2nd week moving in I hear cries from the elevator, a girl stuck in and the manager said don't call firefighters to let her out because we'll pay for breaking elevator, i still phoned them and let them help her, there was breaking in by a thief and they reported a lot of damage and stolen stuff and the thief kept coming back for weeks after till i caught him and have a video of police thanking me for it when managers were annoyed. wasteee of money
Hi, thanks for your very frank review. Can you please drop us an email- marketgaitapartments@prestigestudentliving.com -with the dates you lived here as none of this has been reported to us at either check in this year or last year? i can only assume that this has happened in a previous year? Its really dissappointing to get a review such as this but i can undertsand your frustrations if you have had a bad experience previously. I can assure you that the most recent reviews on here are in no way fake or bought but reflect the general impression our students have had since i took over the building. i look forward to your email, please provide me with dates/times of all the aforementioned incidents so i can look into this further for you. thanks Stuart
Great stay, staff are easy to talk to and always helpful. Never had any problems when staying at Marketgait.
Thanks for your review! Glad you enjoyed yourself here! Thanks, Stuart
Location is perfect, being near to all amenities and both universities. Managing team at Marketgait is great. Stuart is friendly and very helpful and will make your stay feel like home away from home.
Thanks for your review!! We agree, the location is just so central to evrything you need! Glad you enjoyed your stay here! Thanks, Stuart
Very beautiful and amazing living experience! It's located in the heart of the Dundee city, very convenient for transport, supermarkets and takeaways. The room is well-designed and big enough for one person ( I live in a single studio), the kitchen area and bed area are separate, which is so essential for me to avoid oil and smoke! There is also enough storage space for long-term living, which is also good for us students I think. More importantly!!! Manager Stuart is soooo friendly and nice! Before I checked in, my appointments for online room tour and question emails were answered promptly. After living here, I could also communicate with him and get help and repairment in time. BTW, I was impressed and touched by his effort to remember everyone's names who lived in the building. In all, good room, good location, very kind manager, lovely living experience.
Thank you for your amazing review! Delighted to hear that you're having such an awesome time with us!
I had a good stay in the Marketgait apartments - my studio was perfect for what I needed and the management were friendly and very good at communicating with the tenants.
Thanks for your review! Glad to hear that you've enjoyed your stay with us, we do try and keep everyone updated with our Friday emails!
My stay at Marketgait Apartments was great! My experience was so good due to such great management, always accommodating and there if you need them for anything at all. This place is so central making it so easy to get about and the flats are really nice. I would really recommend staying here!
Thank you for your review, we're delighted to hear you've had such a great experience here!
I have lived at Marketgait for 3 years now. The first couple of years were awful. The management was terrible and things were never sorted. My 3rd year has been an absolute dream. The new manager, Stuart, takes so much time and care to make sure that everyone living at Marketgait is receiving the best possible care. The detail to the care of the building has dramatically improved and if I ever have any issues, they are sorted right away! I would recommend Marketgait to everyone!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I'm so glad that this year has been a better experience for you and we've loved having you live here!!
Good experience overall, staff very friendly!
Thanks for your review! We're so glad you're enjoying your time with us here!
Great accommodation for students! Rooms are definitely luxury for students and although its slightly pricey, it is definitely worth the money. Situated in a great location in the heart of the city close to almost everything. Staff are very friendly and helpful and really go out their way to make sure the students are comfortable.
Thanks for your review! We're delighted that you're enjoying your time with us here! We love the rooms here and as you say they're worth the money. I'll be sure and pass your comments on to the team!
Made my move to Scotland so quick and easy. Settled in really well & would definitely recommend Marketgait to my peers. The location is a huge bonus!
Thanks for your review! We're glad we could assist in making such a big move nice and easy for you! We're certainly very lucky with the location here with local shops, supermarkets and University only being a short distance from us with great local transport links as well! It's a pleasure having you stay with us!
Ngl it was perfect for me location price n all. Even the management is freindly as hell and it is a vibe
Thanks for your review! We're so glad you're enjoying your stay here and also the "vibe"! Hope to see you back with us next year!
This place is really not what it seems. They have removed google reviews because they were starting to get bad (accurate) reviews. Please don’t move here if you don’t like a lot of street noise. The room wasn’t clean when I moved in, a photo of the previous tenant was on the floor along with dust and hair. The management were nice at the beginning but start to become dismissive and unresponsive if they can’t actually help, they won’t follow up or try anything different. I can’t tell you how much smaller the rooms actually are, I got a shock when I walked in. It is not worth the money. At all. Find somewhere else unless you can afford the nicest rooms (£200 a week) they are the only ones that actually look different, anything less is just the same room but increasingly more claustrophobic. I don’t want anyone else to get stuck there like I was, I wish they hadn’t removed google reviews. If you don’t care about paying an extortionate amount for less comfort, do it but otherwise don’t!!
The WiFi is okay - have to pay a fee and add ons though. The location is central, so close to everything but noisy! If that bothers you look for somewhere else. Cleaning - the rooms aren’t properly cleaned before you in, and the bins outside are always a mess and not organised well or accessible. Management - not good, can barely ever find anyone or get responses to emails. They are friendly but don’t do their jobs it’s all very mis leading. Value for money - No!! You’re paying way too much, I’d go back if I could, it is nice enough if you can forgive a lot. It is still to expensive for the service you get.
overall, pretty good private halls compared to the others.
Really nice place! It’s my 3rd time staying here and I’ve already rebooked for next year. Amazing environment to be staying in.
Scott, Marc and the student wardens are all wonderful and responsive, and common areas are always very clean. Thanks Marketgait!
