Great value for money. The location is absolutely ideal, everything I need is within a 20 minute walk. The fact that uni gym membership is included in the rent price is a huge positive factor. Staff are always very helpful and friendly :)

It's overall a very good experience but space needs a few study rooms that can be booked.
Hi thank you for your review we really do appriciate it
Friendly staff, 24/7. Good rooms with most amenities included. Price seems to match (if not beat) others in the area.
Hi thank you so much for your review
Great place, very clean and staff incredibly nice
Hi, thank you so much for your review
Good, not very social though. Good location

Very lovely people at reception that make the experience so much better
Hi, We really appriciate the time you took to give us a review
Its the best place to stay.The staffs are very friendly.
Hi, We really do appriciate your review
When I tripped the circuit in the kitchen, I told staff at reception who reassured me that it was no problem, and they showed me why it happened so I know for future. This is just one example of the high quality service provided by staff.
Hi, thanks for your review it is very much appriciated. We are on site 24/7 and a staff member will attend for these issues.
Love the people the room is very nice
Hi, we really do appriciate the review
The reception staff are lovely and very helpful! The rooms are excellent and the kitchens are very nice
Hi, Thank you for your review it is very much appriciated
Pretty good staff, very nice rooms compared to other accom options. Only major downside is the walk to city centre, but even then you figure out the shortcuts quick enough.
Hi, We appriciate that we are not quite as close to the City as some other accommodations, but a 10 min walk to George Square, takes you to the heart of the City.
Over it has been a good experience. The only improvement I think that could be made are a bigger social space or additional amenities like a gym that other student buildings have !
Hi, We appriciate your review and comments with regards to the social spaces and gym. At present our students use the Strathclyde Gym or Pure Gym which are about 10 mins away.
Friendly staff, great location.
Hi, Thank you so much for the review
Mostly good but problems with the inventory through the website not working when moving in, and the website generally being buggy and slow
Hi, We really do appriciate your review and if you do have any issues please email the property direct
Very welcoming accommodation for students. Ideal location and staff organise a wide variety of events and social activities.
Hi, Thank you so much for your review
I had an issue with my flat and it was resolved promptly and efficiently (and with a smile)!
Hi i am so pleased that you are happy, thank you for your review
Loveliest staff and great service 24/7. Wish there was more social space and a little gym here, more things to do around the place other than the common room and benches.
Hi, thanks for your review. We will take on board your comments and feed this back to the company
Overall a very pleasant place to live. There could definitely be more fridge space, cheaper uni accommodations have two whereas ours it’s very limited. A second sofa would be nice, perhaps in place of a smaller dining table - this would create a more sociable, comfortable living space. Staff are lovely and very attentive, can’t fault them at all. A regular cleaner would be excellent, all other uni accommodations have an external cleaner at least once a month (again at a cheaper price). Also, the laundry service is very expensive
Hi, we appriciate all reviews. You have gave some good suggestions around the kitchen areas. Also we do offer a cleaning service, but this comes at an additional cost, for bedroom & kitchen cleans, please contact reception and we can give you pricing for these services. The laundry service is a third party unfortunalety and we have no control over the pricing of this service.
Really lovely helpful staff, lovely modern kitchens and cosy rooms
Hi thank you so much for leaving a review, we really do appriciate the time taken
Helena, Jackie, and Emily have all been so great throughout my time here. They’re always friendly and helpful and it makes going to reception a great experience! I definitely feel safe at the complex since everything is opened by a key card. The location isn’t the greatest just because there aren’t restaurants across the street or stores to shop at, but a Tesco isn’t too far and the city center is just a 10-15 minute walk. I heard they did fitness classes last year here and I’d love for those to happen this year if possible
Hi, thank you so much for your lovely comments. It is vey much appreciated and we srtive here at buchanan view to continually keep our students happy and deliver the best service we can. We did have fitness classes last year but due to the bad weather and the classses being held outside the classes were cancelled. We are however offerening one on one personal training sessions. If his is something that you yhink you would like to persue then please do speak to Jacqui at reception and we can organise to get you booked in and get a fitness and nutritian plan put in place for you.

I wish there was a proper social space in the flats with a tv and everything.
Thank you for your review. Tv's are in the social spaces, but you are welcome to put a tv in your own kitchen space.
Flats could have better social spaces
Thank you for your review and we will pass this comment on to the relevant department for review
wish there were more social spaces
Thank you for your review, we will pass your comment on to the relevant team about social spaces
The attitude of the counter staff is nice, and the repair and maintenance efficiency is quite high. The kitchen space is large and comfortable, but there are fewer activities compared with other dormitories.
Thank you so much for your review, we are trying to get a better activity set up. Our synergy 360 class is on every Wed @ 4pm
Good accommodation, quick fixes, close to public transportation. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your review :-)
Internet sometimes cuts out randomly

I’ve loved my time here, staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and maintain the building very well. The rooms and kitchen are very nice and inspected enough so there’s no big issues. Location wise it’s perfect, very close to uni, bus station, the shops and other student accommodations. Definitely recommend to any student.
Thank you so much for your review. :-)
Great value for money. All the services are great, the rooms are a good size and the staff are very friendly.

Student Roost has to be one of the best student accommodations I have stay at. It’s close to the city, the staff are lovely they have patience (especially with me 😂). I would recommend this place to my friends. It’s just like home.
Thank you so much for your review.
Great accomodation, over priced
Thank you for your review. Please drop by the receprtion and we can discuss, why you believe the property is over priced.

Great location for glasgow caledonian uni, room is good size nice place to live etc
Thank you for your review :-)
Huge value of money although the social spaces needs to be improved . With respective to the accomodation size , it needs a little bigger space for the social space.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to our social space. We do try our best with the space we have, but your comment is appriciated.
Its a pleasure to stay here. Really lovely but a big social space would be good. A gym if included would be nice.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to the social space.

Good price for what you get, and staff are really helpful 24/7
Thank you so much for your review
Only a short walk to GCU, University of Strathclyde and City of Glasgow College, with Queen Street Station and Buchanan Bus Station close by for traveling to University of Glasgow. Any and all issues within the property were always dealt with in a great timely manner by lovely staff who are welcoming and friendly.
Thank you so much for your review.
Great place to stay everything is close by so great for students.
Thank you so much for leaving us a review.
Rooms are really nice and spacious compared to other accommodations.
Thank you so much for your review
It is an amazing place to stay! Location is very close to the Glasgow Caledonian and it is very clean and tidy inside!
Thank you so much for your review.
Buchanan view is a great place to stay, it is in a prime location with great staff who are welcoming, friendly and happy to help you out.
Thank you so much for your review
Buchanan view is in a prime location, the staff are welcoming and easy to speak to. The flat is in great condition and is a good value for money.
Thank you so much for your review.
The rooms and kitchen have tons of storage and are big for a student accommodation. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The rooms and kitchens aren't cleaned but the rest of the building is and is very clean. Its really close to the unis and the center of Glasgow.
Buchanan View is a great place to move as a student. It is in a great spot within Glasgow with many great amenities within walking distance. The staff are amazing and always there to help. They make sure that you are safe and happy with your stay. Furthermore there are many activities that are held throughout the year that are fun!
Absolutely delighted to stay here at Buchananview. Nice place, cool and as the matter of fact friendly.
Buchanan view is an exceptional place to live for the money you pay. It is a very clean and well kept building with a nice size room and lovely kitchen which has just been redone. The staff are super friendly and are always willing to help no matter the time or situation. Any problems have been dealt with pretty quickly. It is overall a lovely addition to the university experience.
Buchanan View is one of the best student accommodations, I would suggest, one, it is quite within the reach/proximity of unis like Strathclyde and Glasgow Caledonian, two, closer to the city centre, three, very economical(being a student, I consider this one of the top most priorities), four, the management is quite proactive and helpful.
Buchanan view has lovely rooms and new kitchens are great. Lots of storage space in the rooms. It’s in a good location, close to lots of shops. Staff are great and always happy to help. Little to no parking that is really expensive so think before bringing your car.
they greet you when you come in but then there's nothing afterwards. People tend to just be pals with folk from their flats with the occasional gaff
Cheapest accommodation in an area near city centre with good infrastructure and facilities. Helpful staff, who is always ready to help. New refurbished kitchens and an interactive social space. Value for money and a good experience living here over all.
The rooms are good, but they are old enough but the renovation work has already started and I hope it will be good after that. The staff is very nice they are helpful as well. In just lack some shops nearby.
The staff are really lovely here and are happy to help with any issues I have. A negative would be the social aspect. There’s a main space but most of the time, it’s completely empty.
Buchanan view is in a good, safe location within walking distance of GCU, Strathclyde and colleges. It is also close to shops and nightlife. The rooms are quite big with lots of storage (under bed too) and an ensuite and the flat is always nice and warm. The new kitchens are lovely with lots of storage space and are good for socialising! The staff are really helpful and approachable! Booked again for next year with my friends made here this year :)
All staff ranging from maintenance to reception are amazing and on hand 24/7 for any issues you may have. Rooms are more spacious than I thought they would be and the new kitchens that are being put in are beautiful and make cooking enjoyable.
The accommodation is worth the money. The new kitchen is fabulous. Very near to Strathclyde university. It is also located in a very posh location.
Very well maintained block of flats outside and in. However, i moved into an unclean bathroom, with a window with no curtains and a leak from the ceiling in the kitchen which after 7 months of staying here, still hasnt been fixed. Other than that, it’s a nice flat with nice staff in the reception.
I haven't missed home a single day since I started living here. The staff are not only super helpful and competent, but like a little family, always taking care of us and the Building is really nice.
This property has spacious rooms and bathroom. Kitchen is also good. It has all the Amenities that a student requires. The best part about the property Is that it is very close to the city centre, literally 10 minutes away. If you are lucky enough to get the room on the top most floor, you get the very beautiful view of the city.
Good place to stay, inexpensive and staff are helpful when you have questions. Buchanan view is safe and clean, good value for money and not far from city centre and GCU.
Staff are all friendly and helpful, lots of cute competitions :)
Miles off the standards compared to week-1. Didn't resolve issues at pool table for months even after lodging complaints for weeks. Took 3-4 months to replace refrigerator. Receptionists duck the complaints lodged by saying to wear a mask. Received racist/inappropriate comments when requested a help. When requested for an apology they didn't even get back to it. Barge into your room for checking when you are sleeping or out somewhere. In short tricked us with the false views and perceptions of maintainence during the early week.
Very good value for money, would definitely recommend to anyone studying in Glasgow! Staff were always happy to help and were always friendly when I went down to reception to collect parcels etc. Excellent location within Glasgow with nearby shops and student facilities all within a 10 minute walking distance. 10/10 experience
No complaints! Staff have always been helpful, ideal location and amazing value for money!
everything has been as good as i can ask for, amazing friendly staff who will do anything to ensure you’re happy, safe and comfortable in your home!
Really clean and large enough rooms. Cheapest accommodation within a good location. I’m a Cali student but it’s good for Strathclyde too rooms are nice and clean and the bathrooms are a good size. Loads of storage especially under bed. Staff are lovely too and will help literally 24/7. Sad about the price increase next year but I’m staying again in the same room. Kitchens are amazing
Such lovely staff, make moving from home easier
I have been staying here for 3 years and the staff has been immensely supportive. This is a great place for students.
Good stay with good flatmates. Amenties are good and reception staff are approachable and friendly.
There can be more social events, some facilities in the flat is a bit broken
Buchanan View has absolutely improved my college experience this year. Along with the great people I’ve met in here & the location so close to the city centre, the staff are absolutely amazing at helping with an issues that may crop up and are super cool with understanding of student life. Absolutely would recommend here to anyone moving to glasgow for uni/college
I liked it it was fun, my flatmates were not
Staff are absolutely amazing and welcoming, it really adds to the uni experience. I have met some of the greatest people while living here.
Good fun environment staff really lovley and helpful, nice new kitchens and spaceious bedrooms.
Very easy to move in and the social diversity in the flats provided me a lot of opportunities to make new friends
Good location, great staff, always clean good wifi
Found this place by choosing the cheapest student accommodation available. It's cozy albeit slightly far from Glasgow Uni (probably better for caledonian or strath students).
Great accomidation, very inviting and understanding
If there’s a problem with my flat, eg locked out or problem with an appliance, the Buchanan view team are more than happy to come and assist. Buchanan view is located in a great area with many shops nearby.
The Buchanan view student roost is a nice place to live and study during your life as university students
Could invest in a study space etc
Far too pricey for what you pay for. Feels like a prison. Decor is very dated and is not a nice environment. Management is awful and tried to fleece student during the height of the pandemic. Much better value for money places elsewhere.
I have just moved in as an international student and the management has been below par. Despite completing my induction online in advance and arriving at the set time I had allocated, I could not get into the property and had to get a fellow student to use their key card to let me in. Upon arrival, my key and induction pack was not prepared and the usage of the key was not explained to me. I again, had to ask a student to help me. I was told that it would be safe for me to quarantine within my room in the building, but assistance was poor. I ordered food online to be delivered, only for the food to not be accepted on my behalf and subsequently resulting in me having to reorder and leave my room to fetch the delivery. I went down to the reception to enquire about my covid test having been delivered and was only told then that I was not permitted to leave my room. I was advised instead to email the reception about deliveries. Emails were not responded to in a timely manner.
The rooms were neat. The staff is friendly, ready to help with any issue, and always available. Premises are well maintained. It has a great lawn area and a common room. The UNiversity of Strathclyde is just within walking distance.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! Our lawn is one of our best features of the property and we spend considerbale time to make sure it is maintained in great condition- we have actually planted 34 bushes & trees over the past year which is a project or maintenance operatives continue. It is espeically useful in sunny weather to sit & study outside! We love receiving all types of feedback as it allows us to improve our service as we endevour to deliver the best experience for our residents staying with us! Keep an eye on our website in the near future as we will be opening up booking availability for 2022/2023 reservations. Thanks again, John Taylor
Everything that they promised would be provided was there and they were of very good quality. Some key things were. 1. New mattress cover, cleaned rooms, lots of storage space including underbed storage that can accommodate 2 big suitcases, good lighting, furniture. Very fast wifi, ethernet port. 2. A good kitchen with facilities like oven, toaster, kettle, cleaning items, iron and stand, vacuum cleaner etc. (all being good quality products). 3. Very friendly staff. The flats are accessed with a unique key card so no one can get into your room without your key card and so there's privacy and safety. Rent is paid monthly which is also good. 4. The best thing is how close everything is. Strathclyde University, Glasgow Cathedral, city centre and also many other student accommodations. Everything is within a walking distance. 5. The common area has pool, foosball, TV, Playstation etc. A few friends who share flat told me how they wished they booked an ensuite here earlier instead.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! The storage under the bed is indeed very useful- espeically for storing the winter jackets that we need in Scotland! I am glad to hear you are happy with the staff at the property, I will ensure your feedbakc is passed onto the team- it makes our day to read such positive reviews! We are also close to Cowcaddens Underground which is just 6 minutes to the west end (HillHead Underground) which offers unique shops, public parks and some fantastic cafes & restaurants! We enjoy receiving all feedback as it allows us to improve our service as we endevour to deliver the best experience for our residents staying with us! Keep an eye on our website in the near future as we will be opening up booking availability for 2022/2023 reservations. Thanks again, John Taylor
Buchanan view is worth the money.its like my home now.Staff are amazing and super friendly and available 24×7. I am so glad that I choose Buchanan view as accomodation. These best part is we get exciting offers and I just love it.

Buchanan View is a really good place to stay. The staff are always helpful, they take time to get to know their residents and always say hello whenever you're walking past. They go above and beyond to resolve any issues whether it be about the halls of residence or room mates or any maintenance issues which get resolved very quickly, sometimes within the hour on some occasions and I have been really pleased with my interactions with staff here and would highly recommend Buchanan View and give it a ten out of ten!

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to rate our super acomodation! You're one good egg! Kind Regards, The Buchanan View Team
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.
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!
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.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to detail your experience when you were residing at Buchanan View. We aim accommodate our students' preferences and, with over 600 students on-site, this can be a little tricky to match sometimes. We have always said and continue to say that we do not guarantee requests due to site availability. Secondly, in regards to your rent refund - I understand the frustration that you are facing. With Covid-19 a theme this year, our team across Student Roost having been working tirelessly to manage a surge in enquries. We apologise that you have been waiting for a while. I would be keen for you to reach out to us on buchanan.view@studentroost.co.uk with your name and student ID and hopefully, I would be able to provide a insight that is unique to you.

Best value for money and the best staff ever, i would love to stay for another year.
Hello! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time here and we would be glad to accommodate you for another year. It's been a pleasure so far and we hope you will have a relaxing summer after a stressful and quite unsual semester. Kindest regards, The Buchanan View Team
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!!
Hello! Wow! It's great to hear that you had a fantastic experience with Buchanan View. 3 years is a long time however, we hope it felt like home from home for you. You'll be missed at Buchanan View! Best of luck in your studies. Kindest regards, The Buchanan View Team
It was a wonderful experience and without doubt, in terms of quality-cost, one of the best accommodation someone can ever find in Glasgow.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review Buchanan View. We are chuffed to hear that you had a pleasant time. Best of luck in your future endeavours! Kindest regards, The Buchanan View Team
Second year here and it’s been amazing. The staff is incredible and so friendly. Definitely recommend.
Lovely staff, they always help you whenever you get locked out of your room!
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
I was very happy staying here, great location and such friendly staff

Good location very central and close to unis
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!

Overall quite good, more improvements can be done in facilities
Hey, Thank you for leaving us a review, what would you like to see an improvement in and we can certainly take it into consideration? :)
Great experience staying here. I have visited other accommodations as well but found Buchanan to be the best.
Hello, Thanks so much for leaving us a review! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience staying with us :) We strive to be the best and are happy you think that we are!!
Buchanan view is just 5 minutes walk from GCU and only 10 minutes walk to Buchanan Galleries, making it an ideal place to stay. Plus with double beds and en-suite facilities, I feel this is a great alternative to Caledonian Court - the university’s own halls of residence.
Hey, Thanks for leaving us a review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us! We hope to see you again soon :)
Great facilities and staff friendly
Hey, Thanks for leaving us a review! We try our best to make everyone who stays with us feel at home! Hope to see you again soon :)

Hello, Our social space is due to be getting an upgrade very soon! But thank you for leaving a review for us :)

Hey, Thanks so much for leaving a review for us! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your time here with us and we hope to see you again soon!
The cleaning service should be more efficient
Hello, Thank you for leaving a review with us! I'm sorry to hear you didn't think that the services were up to a high standard. Our house keepers give each kitchen a fortnightly "Sparkle" however it is expected that each flat mate keep the kitchen clean. If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to email us at Buchanan.view@studentroost.co.uk. Thank you :)
All the basic necessities are present, with some surprises on pancake days or fruity Friday, staffs are very friendly, just find annoying sometimes about the fire drilling every single Tuesday
Hello, Thank you for leaving us a review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your time here with us at Buchanan View. Apologies about the fire drills however we like to make regular checks to make sure we are keeping our students and staff safe in the event of a fire :)
Great location - close to uni and facilities Value for money and great help from the office team Totally recommend

Best value for money compared to all the other halls in glasgow. The staff is absolutely lovely, from the managers to the receptionists to the cleaning staff to the maintenance staff. Loved my time staying at buchanan view and very pleased with my choice
Hello, Thank you for leaving a review on our site! We are delighted to hear you love staying here and that all staff are friendly. Happy that we could make your living experience enjoyable :)
I think they have great stuffs, cause they all are friendly and helpful with sorts of things. Great location close to town. And to the uni.
Hello, Thank you for your review on our site! We are delighted to hear that you enjoy it here :)
The student Hall is very well-organized. The place is quiet and full of enjoyable events and services.
Hi Marawan, We're glad you are enjoying your stay here :) Jenny
Not value for money at all. £122+ per week. The fact that the payments come out in a minimum of 8 payments meant that a lot of us couldn't barely afford it because £600+ was coming out of our accounts at once. If you want us to live there for 10 months, charge us monthly. Not very good when dealing with complaints. My flat mate was stealing from me but when we went to complain they did nothing about it. Also the fact that Buchanan View is a non-smoking accommodation but everyone smoked in the flats which was more that disrespectful to the other students living there. And again, when a complaint was made, nothing was done about it. The fact the rent is so high yet we have to pay for a laundry service at £4.50 per every wash and dry. The point that this is a student accommodation means that you know that we have limited funds and you are just making it harder. I thought the staff at Buchanan View were lovely people but they could have done a better job at doing their jobs.
Hi there, I'm sorry to hear there were some issues duing your stay here. We've made a few changes and now there is a new management team on site since you've left your review. The cost of our en-suite bedrooms for 2019-2020 are now £119 per week and we can offer more payment instalments depending on our resident's needs. The cost of our washing machine service is £3 and the dryer is £1.70. We value your feedback - we're always making new improvements. Jenny
It has overall been good, although due to changes in staff team meant that the staff weren't familiar with the premises and additional training needs to be provided with staff who are new to the job.
Hello I am glad that your overall experience was good! Yes like you said we had just been taken over by Student Roost, and were in the process of hiring the best team we could that would help make this accommodation the best it can be :) Since your stay we have really worked on creating a friendly, imformed team. We now have office staff 24/7 with no external security meaning that there is someone in the office what ever time day or night that has an indepth knowledge of the site to help you there and then! We are really proud of the team we have built and feel free to pop in and have a look at the changes we have made if you like :)
Would never stay here again even if rent was free
Hello, I am really sorry to hear this, since your stay at the accommodation Buchanan View has been taken over by a new company called Student Roost.
