Had free food and drinks waiting on move in day. Helpful staff on duty 24/7. Rooms are lovely (I got silver package). Kitchen is nice however there is no toaster or kettle. The gym is lovely as well as the karaoke room and the cinema which you can reserve for up to 4 hours. The building itself is slightly weird in its shape. Meaning that people in C block can see into A block bedroom windows and vice versa. Other than that lovely. It’s a plus that it has lifts in every block.
Brilliant, friendly staff and great amenities, with lots of room in the social areas to meet new people :)
Boyce house is my second home, with friendly and helpful staff, a clean environment. I like their social activities like Halloween, New Year, Valentine's Day and more. The location is great, 5mins walk to GCU, 8mins walk to Strathclyde uni and 6mins walks to Buchanan bus station!
The accommodation offers spacious and well-designed rooms that come with all necessary amenities. The location is convenient, as it is close to the university and many local amenities, such as supermarkets, shops and cafes. The rooms are well-maintained, clean and offer a comfortable living experience for students. There are also communal spaces and facilities, such as a gym, study areas, a games room, and a cinema room. As far as the management and staff are concerned, they are helpful and always ready to assist their residents with any issues or concerns.

Honestly the only thing I don’t like is the Bluetooth keys and maybe gets ACs installed for this summer heat.

Canvas Glasgow is very cozy and clean. The staff members are all friendly and very nice, helpful as well. Recommended!!
It is a good place to put up. The staff is amazing 😍😍😍
Amazing place with amazing staff, social events can be quiet lacking at times.
Canvas has been such an amazing place to live, the team that work here are always so friendly and welcoming and have always been there when you need anything. The location is also amazing, your only a short walk into the city centre which is so convenient for being a university student. I have loved living here so much that I’m staying again next year!
It’s a great place to live in. Even though it’s a little expensive that other accommodations, it makes up for that with their amenities and especially their staff. They’re very quick to resolve any issue and the place always feels fresh. The rooms and kitchens are super spacious too!
Have had a really amazing experience with canvas. All the staff are lovely, friendly, and make an effort to know you which is really nice when moving to a new city alone. All the social spaces are always kept clean. Best gym facilities of all the other private student halls I’ve seen. 15min walk from Strathclyde uni and a quick walk into town. Would really recommend canvas to any student looking for accommodation next year!
I have had a great time living at Canvas Glasgow, friendly staff, clean rooms, en-suite bedrooms are a good space and neutral design so you can decorate easily and make it feel more like home
Excellent space, rooms, staff, customer service and amenities. It is a lovely experience.
This student accommodation is very cozy, nice, and on top of that, clean. The staff, everyone from reception, housekeeping to maintenance, have very affable personalities. Moreover, this student accommodation also holds a variety of monthly events that will surely to keep anyone satisfied while they are there! Location-wise, it couldn't be any more convenient - a few minutes walk to the nearest bus station, a Tesco that is just in walking distance, and it's located close to two universities; Glasgow Caledonian and Strathclyde. I'd highly recommend this particular student accommodation to anyone who is in search of one as it can't get any better than this!
I’ve been living here for 2 years, reception team is like my second family. They are super friendly and welcoming people.
Let me start by saying that this accommodation is truly exceptional! The rooms are impeccably clean and incredibly spacious, providing an abundance of room to unwind and relax. The kitchens are not only spacious but also equipped with all the utilities you could possibly need. Moreover, the staff members are incredibly friendly and always ready to assist you with any concerns or questions you may have. Not only are they helpful, but they also make for enjoyable company when engaging in a friendly chat. If you're in search of the finest accommodation available, Canvas is undoubtedly the perfect choice for you!
Canvas Glasgow is a great, comfortable place. The location is second to none with a short walk until your in the middle of town and great if your a student of Glasgow Caledonian. The social spaces are great places to hang out with friends or chill out by yourself. If you have any issue the staff are amazing in their response along with their friendly attitude. Would recommend to anyone :)
An amazing student accomodation, had a great experience living here. Totally worth the money, no complaints.
The staff is very hospitable. Each one of them. Special mention Andrew
Where do I begin, this accommodation is absolutely brilliant! The rooms are immaculate and have loads of space. The kitchens have loads of space aswell as all the utilities you need. The staff here are so friendly and help with any issues or queries you have, as well as just fun to have a chat with. If your looking for the best accommodation Canvas is your place !
Although the facilities were as comparable as other student private accommodation companies, the workers were the main star which sets them apart from others! ❤️
I still remember my first day as an international student at Canvas. It was incredibly challenging to relate to individuals. But because I've been living there since September, Canvas seems like home to me. The amenities offered go above and beyond what is expected for the price, making living here a great value. All nearby universities, the city centre, and public transportation are all easily accessible from this handy location. The property management staff has been excellent, warm, attentive, and prompt in resolving any issues with maintenance. superior at planning events. The social area offered in the accomodation has been excellent, providing a friendly environment for interaction with other students. My social life has greatly improved, and it has made it possible for me to establish deep ties. The top student accommodation in Glasgow, in my opinion, is Canvas. For me, it has been an absolutely extraordinary experience.
The best accommodation in Glasgow without a doubt. The staff go above and beyond for anyone that needs assistance and the rooms are top quality. The best🫡
Really Kind Staff. Very Accommodating to your needs and Changes.
Canvas is an amazing place to live. The management is very kind and helpful.
It is a lovely place for students with great staff.
Thank you for your review :)
I have lived here since September. I can honestly say I was terrified of moving to the UK but the people here make you feel so welcome and put you at ease. I speak with mainly Gary and Lindsey and they are so nice. They have nice parties for meeting people and the building looks great and new. Other buildings I had viewings in looked very dated but this is like a brand new building and always something happening. Staff are easy on the eye too 😃
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and we'll pass on your lovely feedback (they'll be showing off about the last part!)
Lived here for a few months and miles ahead of the other building ( ACROSS THE ROAD) I get a good nights sleep and my flat mates are lovely. Only issue I had was my blind broke but between all the staff they fixed it so fast. They all pitched in and are always there even when I was a bit down there's always somebody to talk to. Defo book here if you can!
Thanks so much for taking the time to review us, we'll pass your lovely feedback onto our team :)
I had an amazing stay at the Canvas Glasgow. The accommodation is extremely well managed and conveniently located. Rooms are spacious and the common areas provide a variety of activities that can be enjoyed in groups or solo. Gary and his team managing the space are extremely cordial, friendly and helpful right from the day you step into this lovely, well spaced and carefully maintained accommodation. My gratitude to the team here, doing the great job that they are and wishing them the best for future
Thank you for your lovely feedback - we're so pleased that you enjoyed your time with us and we'll pass on your comments :)
Paying to much for the accommodation, for there to constantly be issues with the water. Been left without hot/warm water multiple times over my stay. Including a full day of brown water coming out all stinks, showers and toilets. Wifi goes down a lot! Not good when we still have online classes. Lastly most of the washing machines seem to not work. Staff are friendly, and make it an enjoyable time, but it’s far to expensive for all the issues.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review us but we're sorry to hear you have been experiencing issues. Please could we ask you to contact our team directly as we'd like to look into this further? Thank you.
Perfect accommodation for students. It has all the facilities you would need as a student in addition to an amazing staff that are there to help 24/7 esspecially my boy Sam.
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback!
If you are an international student coming to Glasgow, I would recommend staying at canvas. Awesome location, got activities to help you break into the social structure and also lovely staff and fellow residents .I recommend Lauren and Sam as your go to reference if you need anything, they make my stay at canvas memorable .
Thanks so much for your lovely review, we'll pass on your feedback to the team :)
Gary, Lindsay and all the team are amazing. From Check-in onwards everything was well done. All questions answered with no bother. All issues resolved with no fuss. For a wheelchair user, Boyce House is a great place to spend the year away from home. Anything I needed was provided with no bother. The celebrations: Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas etc were a lot of fun too. Thank you to everyone
We'll pass on your lovely feedback to our Canvas Glasgow team - look out for more exciting events in the New Year!
Great management, chill atmosphere, perfect location near the universities, and they organize a few events each month.
Thanks very much for your feedback, we're so glad you're enjoying your stay!
Gary and Lindsey where so amazing and caring, couldn’t ask for a better staff team, really need a raise in my opinion, great staff, great bunch of people, cured my homesickness, and made me feel super welcome, and i owe them everything!
Thank you so much for your lovely review - we'll pass on your feedback to our Glasgow team
I loved staying here so much. The building was really modern and the room was nice but the best part of staying in Glasgow was the staff. They went above and beyond to help me with anything I need, even out with canvas. Even on my first day I was so nervous about making friends and they told me “well you already have a group of pals right here” and I definitely felt that way. Would totally recommend staying here for anyone looking at accommodation.
Thanks so much for your review and welcome to our Canvas family! We'll pass on your lovely feedback to our Glasgow team and we know you'll have a fantastic year with them :)
Was great in my first year but things just got worse. Only allowed Bluetooth key on mobile device and it was not accessible at all. Lift in accommodation is always smelly, fridge in kitchen is not maintain and take months for staff to get them replaced. Do not recommend for the price.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review us and we'll definitely feedback to our team. We're sorry to hear of the difficulties you experienced with your key, we can certainly take that away and continue to improve this process. We'll also feedback on the maintenance issues you've experienced to continue to improve going forward.
Lauren and Andrew are amazing!! They help me 24/7 with anything and with a big smile. Additionally, they are very friendly and fun to be around. They take their job seriously and have make my university experience 100% better. 😄
Thank you for taking the time to review us, we're so happy that you're enjoying your stay and will pass your comments on to the team :)
The staff is so amazing. I feel like home here. Andrew has looked after me since day 1. Lauren, Bryan, Marcus, dainis have been amazing. But the only thing is Canvas increded there prices too high. I am paying more than double this year than I did before. This should not be done to students. But the people at the reception deserve a pay rise.
Thank you for taking the time to review us and we're so happy that you're enjoying your stay - we'll pass your comments on to the team.
The place is amazing and the staff is highly co-operative. Especially Andrew and Gary who are always fun to talk to and always ready to help.

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 organising cute events and pop ups. Their little gestures will always be with me wherever I go from here and I'll miss this place like crazy when I leave!!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, we'll pass on your lovely feedback to the team :)

Building is really nice , staff are super friendly and right in the city centre.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, we're glad your enjoying your stay :)
I only moved in in February as my flights were delayed with restrictions in my country, the staff were checking on me making sure I was okay and offering help even before I moved in, when I arrived my room was lovely and they had taken all my packages to my room already which was so nice , shower blocks occasionally but maintenance is there usually on the day to fix, always free breakfast, pizza and mixers which is nice to meet new friends, I won’t be staying next year but I really like what I’ve experienced so far
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We care very much for our residents so giving you the best possible experience is extremely important to us and we'll make sure we pass on your lovely feedback to the team :)

I definitely gotten lucky when i chosen this building, the staff are incredibly friendly and are always there to help, the rooms are great with a decent amount of storage, 1 issue is my router hasnt been working in my room since I moved in which has only taken away the ethernet option. Overall the builsing is definitely worth it, the memories and experiences i have had in this building are ones that will stay with me my whole life.
Thank you for taking the time to review Canvas Glasgow, we're so happy that you're enjoying your time with us. If we can do anything more to help, please do contact the Canvas Glasgow reception team - we're always here for you.

Thank you for the lovely review, we're so pleased you're enjoying your time with us and we'll pass your feedback onto the team.
I have lived here since september 2021 and have met some of my best friends living here. All the staff are really nice, helpful and fun. The building is such a lovely place to live and I’ve rebooked for next year.
Thank you for your lovely review and we're so excited to have you stay with us next year too! We'll pass your feedback onto the team.
Great student accommodation (especially for GCU students). Modern and clean with a good social life.
Thank you for taking the time to review us - it's great to hear that you're enjoying your time with us :)
I've been living at Canvas since September 2021 when I started my 1st year of uni. I was quite nervous to move out and into student accommodation because I have some pals that have found it difficult but I have absolutely loved my time at Canvas. I had some issues with my flatmates in the beginning and the staff were all so helpful and now everyone is much happier. Canvas have put on really good events which has helped everybody in the building really bond and i've met some of my closest mates through them. We've all rebooked for the same flat next year too!
Thank you for taking the time to review Canvas Glasgow and we're so happy that you're enjoying your time with us. We're always here if you need us and we'll carry on putting on those events!
Lived here for the last year, my favourite so far and rebooking for my final year. Staff are nice and helpful, maintenance issues fixed on the day and never waiting long for anything. Always something going on like at Christmas we had real life reindeers. Only downside is that I’ll be leaving in a year.
Thank you for your lovely review, we're so pleased you're enjoying your time with us (and the team always pull it out of the bag with those wow moments like bringing in reindeers!) We'll pass your feedback onto the team.
One of the best accommodations in Glasgow! The staff is super nice and helpful
Thank you for taking the time to review us and for your lovely feedback - we'll make sure it's passed onto the team.
Great staff, clean spaces, great amenities
Thank you for taking the time to review us and we're pleased your enjoying your stay.
I stayed at Boyce House from July 2021-November 2021 and I found the staff to be very welcoming and ensured that I had a bag of freebies upon arriving which included cups, pens and other canvas merchandise along with a free drink. They respond to all e-mails very quickly and the maintenance team are also very responsive to repairs/maintenance requests within twenty fours. I cannot fault them in any way and it has been a pleasure to see how committed they are to residents, listening to feedback and the social calandar. They are very proactive which is impressive to see. The location of Canvas Glasgow is two-three minutes away from my university and ten minutes away from the city centre and has excellent links to public transport with the local train station, taxi rank and bus station. The only feedback I would give is that bins are given to residents when they move in as kitchen & bedroom had no bin.
