My experience here was absolutely great. I don't have a single complaint of this place or its team. Everyone was lovely and helpful even in the most difficult times. Great ambience, socials, reception service, facilities and location. Best team in Glasgow you can bet!

The staff are rude, unhelpful and invasive. Some of the receptionists go out of their way to be unhelpful and the security approach drunk students in the smoking area to try to find parties to crash.

Worst student accommodation in Glasgow, paper-thin walls with no noise cancellation and located right behind the M8 motorway. Rude staff, rude people and with all honestly it's been the worst place I've ever lived in my life. I wouldn't stay there even if the rent was free or even if they paid me to.
I stayed in Buchanan View for my second year. In my application I stated that I would like to be placed with people the same age/ year of study as me. However I got placed with people who were complete opposite of me (doing postgrad etc) and they were all from the same country making me the odd one out. I asked to switch flats as the flatmates I was currently with did not interact with me whatsoever and it was making my halls experience very lonely, however did this not happen. I did not make a single friend at buchanan view for this reason. Furthermore, I got an early release due to COVID-19 and found it extremely hard to get a refund for the rent I paid in advance (in fact it has now been 4 months since vacating the premises and I have still not gotten anywhere) Of course, this is only my personal experience. On a positive note, I will say that the staff at reception and the maintenance team were always super friendly.

I stayed in buchanan view for 3 years, I had a great experience! All the staff was so lovely and caring. Whenever there was an issue they were always happy to help! It’s also perfect location to the city centre! Having lived in Foundry Courtyard the last year it really made me appreciate buchanan view even more! I only recommend buchanan view!!

Tony Tony Tony.. Because of him we feel at home
The accommodation itself is good. However, the staff aren't welcoming or friendly. They don't do anything to help resolve problems
I'm really happy I've chosen this accomodation instead of uni halls,so much better experience.
Absolutely great accommodation with an extremely friendly staff. A lot of social events and freebies every week. Great management as well!
Decent place and value for money. Near to the city centre, subway station and the bus station. Common room is really happening:)
Good for the money, friendly staff, good security. Great location
It’s a nice place for students. It’s close to GCU and Strathclyde universities and a bit far from University of Glasgow. Common room is amazing. Great value for money.
Very friendly and helpful reception staff, great community for new and returning students!
I would recommend the accommodation. Friendly staff and a nice social space

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review :) Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us!
I had a good year here with friends I moved in with from last year. It was great having access to maintenance so easily and always having someone in reception. Being close to uni was great. Sometimes security wasn't great as my boyfriends bike got stolen but other than that it was a secure place to stay. The constant maintenance was sometimes quite disruptive.
Hello, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review! Glad you overall had a great stay with us. Apologies about the bike, we were having some issues with our main gate but now that it is fully working again we shouldn't experience anything like this again. Also apologies about the disruption, we do try to keep it to a mimimum however this can be hard when bigger projects have to be completed. Hope to see you again :)
Fantastic location, close to city centre and university. Very friendly staff. Also have events taking place allowing you to meet other residents.
Hey, Thank you for leaving us a review! Happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and you had a good time at our events :)
The accomodation is great, my experience both with the other students was great and the staff,especially the night one's were really helpful with everything when I arrived. The only thing that I don't like is the laundry and the app circuit that comes with it. It is a good first year location to stay.
Hey, Thanks for leaving us a review! Glad you found our staff helpful and friendly. Sorry to hear that you didn't like the laundry system but thanks for letting us know!
I love it here. Fruity Friday is my favourite. Meg’s really funny and I like her ideas with the comics they are funny. (Need to see more of them) the other recpetion girls are lovely very friendly. Lauren is also lovely she has helped me a couple of times now. Great halls and best time away from home Thanks!
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! So glad you loved the comics and there will definately be more to come so keep your eyes peeled!! Happy to hear you felt welcomed and we hope to see you again soon :)
I really enjoyed my stay here at Buchanan view. I was made to feel welcome. Staff are all very friendly. I love the girls on reception they are so friendly and bubbly. Really like the new girl can’t remember her name sorry- hopefully she will be there next year ;) facilities are great and I can’t wait to see what the common room is going to look like. They have a great rebooker offers every year too. See you all next year!
