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 :)

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 :)

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 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
