Edit: In my previous review, I mistakenly referred to Joseph by the wrong name. I wish to correct that oversight and express my special thanks to Joseph. Please pardon my error, as my memory was clouded having just returned from a 2-month vacation. I have resided at Thurso Street for nearly three years and have already arranged to continue my stay into the next year. Every moment spent here has been thoroughly enjoyable. The location is unbeatable, offering great value for the price – certainly a prudent choice. What stands out most is the exceptional management team. Their approachability, respectfulness, and professionalism are commendable. They consistently ensure effective communication and are always ready to assist when needed. Among them, Joseph deserves special mention for his passion and unparalleled supportiveness – truly one of the kindest individuals I have encountered. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Thurso Street for anyone looking for high-quality accommodation.

The dorm is really nice. When I arrived on my first day, I saw the bedding and kitchen supplies that the school gave me for free.

I live in Thurso Street student accommodation, the staff are all nice and the flat is close to the University of Glasgow. Yet it has some flaws: it is next to a bar so it will be very noisy in the midnight, and the room is not spacious. What’s more, there seems to be a problem with the floor drain system in my shower room, it has not been draining properly since I moved in. I will report it and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

My stay in Thurso Street has been great - the facilities around the accommodation are good, it is regularly kept clean and the ensuite bathrooms are better than any other uni bathroom I have seen. The customer service in the reception is great, the staff are very friendly including Joseph who has always greeted everyone with a smile and was always ready to help me with whatever.

The maintenance team is very efficient. And the reception staffs are enthusiastic and helpful. My life of living there is very happy and the location is great. The only thing is about the cleaning within the kitchen, there is suggested to arrange a weekly clean. Thank you.

Perfect place to stay in if you’re studying at UofG. 7min walk to any place within the south gates of the university. Beautiful view of river kelvin from the rooms and kitchens facing south in block D. The proximity to a LIDL and Morrison’s as well as being able to take a walk in kelvingrove park which is across the street were also a huge plus. Most of the team in the reception were very nice especially Kate and Joseph. Very few things were annoying, like that the windows in the rooms don’t fully open and it can get stuffy and if you try to iron your hair you might start the fire alarm, the fact that we were paying an additional 60£ per week more than the true value of the rooms for the first 9 months because of booking through the university, and the rats that were present in the garbage shed and the garage the first couple of weeks this year but they got rid of them right away. Overall, I would choose to live here if I had to do it all over again.

The experience for me personally was very good. Making friends in your accomodation is one thing but the experience is only good if you have got an amazing team and that was what thurso street had. Joseph, especially is one of the most liked people and whenever I visit him in the reception we always have jolly conversation about what's going on in Glasgow or discussing about restaurants and food in general.

He makes you comfortable from day one and you can chat to him about anything and have fun banter too. The property should definitely organize some more events though. Overall a very nice experience with Thurso street.

My room could have definitely been cleaner moving in. The drawers on my desk were broken, parts of the floor have water damage and there was mold in the sink and shower when I moved in. On a positive note, property management has been super helpful and nice. Kate and Joseph have helped me many times with questions. Also, the building maintenance was quick to help when I was have plumbing issues.

I have spent a WONDERFUL time in Thurso Street and all the staffs are very friendly especially Kate and Joseph who are warm and kind when I chat with them. The building is basically clean yet our corridor has not been cleaned for a period of time. It is worth noting that the outer door of BlockA seems to be broken and it would be nice if it’s fixed for safety purposes. Overall it is worth the money considering all the elements for international students to start a new life here.

The staff at reception are excellent--very friendly, and professional. Katie and Joseph have been especially helpful during my stay here this far. The only really notable issue I have at this property is that the WiFi via Glide can be unreliable. This is stressful because many of my exams are online and connectivity issues are not grounds for excusing late submissions.

There was a rat problem in the outside bins when I had moved in in September but it has since been taken care of. The noise is a bit of a problem; the walls/doors are not at all sound proof so I can hear everything from the other rooms and the corridor. Other than that, the reception staff is lovely and the location is perfect.

Awesome place to live. The guys at the reception, specially Kate and Joseph, go beyond their way to make it an amazing experience to live here. There are always events organized by them to help you make friends and feel welcome. When I have problems, they're always promptly solved. The room's a bit small for the price, but they compensate it with the quality of the accommodation. Extremely close to the glasgow uni, it's a 10 min walk to the main building. 100% recommend it.

My stay in Thurso Street was made excellent by the staff members. Special shout out to Kate who has always made extra effort to connect with students. Her personal touch has made us feel safe and welcome. She has also on numerous instances helped me to resolve issues expediently and professionally. Joseph is always bubbly and ready to help. There were a couple of times when I've had to carry heavy items back to my apartment, and he jumped in to help without any hesitance. Big thanks to Kate and Joseph for making my stay with Thurso Street memorable!
