Most helpful review

In terms of safety and cleanliness this one of the best accomodation. Moreover events around the month helps to reduce our stress with Studies. Also the staff here is very friendly and helpful. The best part is about the study room where there is a quiet atmosphere

Dobbies Point: Exceptional Staff, Unforgettable Experience! Dobbies Point exceeded my expectations, thanks to its exceptional staff. Led by Layla, the manager, the team, including Ani, Maria, Chris, Kennedy, Amy, Tommy, Jordan, Urzula, Donna, Belin, and Eddy, provided outstanding service. From their warm and welcoming approach to their commitment to resident satisfaction, they created a comfortable and memorable stay. I highly recommend Dobbies Point for its exceptional staff and unforgettable student accommodation experience.

Staff made my experience. They encourage everyone to be sociable and make new friends with the events they hold. Some nights when i felt i just wanted to go home the reception staff were always so welcoming and friendly (shoutout to Urzula and Aimee). always a warm welcome at the front door by Maria, Teigan and Layla which is sometimes what you need after a hard or stressful day at uni. Rooms are modern. had the best 2 years living here going to miss everyone, my experience wouldn’t have been the same without Dobbie’s!!!

I have spent the past 2 years living in Dobbies Point and i couldn't have had a better living experience. I enjoyed my first year so much that i decided to stay a second year. The location couldn't be much better as it is a 5 minute walk from the Glasgow Caledonian University and also all of the shops. The staff really made the stay. Layla, Natasha, Maria, Ani, Tiegan, Eddie, Donna, Urzula, Amy, Tommy and Jordan are always there to help and even there just to chat. They make a big effort to make a memorable stay for all students. I will never forget Dobbies and best believe I will be back to visit :)

the Dobbies point staff have been beyond helpful throughout my stay, however having to pay extra for cleaning services on top of the quite high rent prices is a big ask. The social aspects of dobbies has been great, where they run lots of events for us.

Really enjoyed Dobbie's Point overall but can't rate it highly for value for money due to the construction that has been happening since January. It is frustrating because the experience of having the construction people was annoying but the staff were nothing but helpful moving around dates because I work night shift just wish I didn't live here the year they have to do work on every room. Everything else has been great, made some good friends, room is a bit marked up but comfortable, and the staff have been a real highlight for me both day and night team (especially letting me in to the accommodation at all hours of the night - sorry!) I would recommend living here as long as the construction is finished otherwise you may lose some sleep for a few weeks.

Horrendous experience at this accommodation,, barely slept all year the noise was so bad from the courtyard and staff did nothing about it when complained about. Had an unfortunate experience with a very noisy flatmate who kept me awake all night and made me scared to go into shared kitchen / living room and nothing was done for months after various complaints made by multiple other flatmates. This flatmate managed to house two pets in our flat: a cat and a dog despite this being against regulations and the allergies of some other flatmates. Probably slept well and peacefully about twice and i lived there from september- april. Do not recommend for the price it has cost.

Absolutely speechless and have with no words to share how satisfied and amazed I've been honestly living here for a year. A tonne of memories and a bag of great experiences. Lots of events, wonderful staff and the best accommodation in Glasgow for sure. I will never forget how supportive the team has been to me and every other student here. It has truly been my home away from home. It felt like finding a family and I did not in any way feel alienated as an international student here. Layla, Maria, Katie, Tiegan, Jordan, Urzsula, Amy, Eddie & every one else have been no less than a blessing. Highly recommended and I wish I could stay longer. Thank you Student Roost. Thank you for being my home, Dobbie's Point! <3

I’ve really enjoyed my time at Dobbies Point. The location is great and in walking distance to all necessities. The accommodation is clean, spacious and there is lots to do. The staff (Layla, Maria, Ani, Teigan, Katy, and the night staff) are so helpful, and they work so hard to make the time here enjoyable

I had a wonderful stay at Dobbie’s Point while I was at college. All the staff were amazing. Jordan, Steven and Urszula were always on hand to help with my middle of the night mental crisis. Jeannie and Jessie were always class to hang out with at the weekend. During the week Maria and Ani were superstars and were always there to help, Donna’s an absolute gem and I always loved coming to Natasha and Fiona for a chat. Internet was really good, I’m a streamer and game a lot so it was great for download and upload. Regular fire alarms made me feel safe. Communal spaces were really tidy and kept in great condition. Really safe place to stay, gonna miss it a lot:(

I stayed here when I was in first year. Nice enough room, good flatmates, fantastic location. BUT the lifts broke pretty much once a month at least. I lived in the blue block and when I had come home from a&e one day, the blue lift was broken and the staff told me they couldn’t let me use another lift and open a door for me to get to my flat. I had the option of waiting 3 hours for the lift or climbing 9 flights of stairs, fresh out of hospital.

Great accomodation, the staff are so lovely and totally willing to help at any point. The large living area and kitchen is so good for socialising in the flat and the facilities throughout the accommodation are always clean and easy to use/access. Also a great location, I cant fault it.

•Internet always has maintenance works going on. •When flatmates are extremely messy management does not care. •All management cares about is receiving your rent payments on time. •Everything advertised that says this accommodation cares about its tenants is a lie. •Only positive is the location of this accommodation.

I used to love living here but the staff have favourites and let them hang around and everyone else is brushed to the side the night people and security officers are lazy and just sit with there feet up and you have to wait until they are ready to get up Maria is superb and Iain to Fiona Zack and Calum are way to stuck up and bossy it was better when I first moved in now it’s different and not as enjoyable

Mixed reviews about being here, not sure if I enjoy it. Staff are quite rude and V moody. Loads of drug dealers around in the evenings especially in OUR home which I don’t understand why it’s not being taken seriously.

I lived here before,I enjoy the facilities and living environment here,stuffs here are kind and nice as well and they could offer me help whenever I wanted.Considering my own particular situation,I had no options but to renew my room when the expire date was approaching.Obviously it couldn't be that good as it was too late and almost all the rooms were occupied so that I had few choices.Normally under this kind of circumstances,the stuff would not be willing to bother with that,you can choose to leave or stay as so many students want to move in,it's your own business. But stuffs in dobbie's not.What impressed me most was that Maria worked very hard to help me coordinate the room so that I could live with Dobbie's longer and enjoyed the last time here. Fiona is also a best lady I have ever met,as a manager,she has loads of things to coordinate and process everyday,I really appreciate it as she thinks for me indeed and makes things that seems difficult easy. So much love for dobbie‘s..
