Having stayed here for 3 months so far I can say that it's the best student accommodation I've ever had. Rooms are very convenient and light, New furniture and beautiful interior. Amazing social spaces with such amenities as gym, cinema, studying and karaoke rooms, there's also a table tennis, pool game and an air hockey (which is my favourite 😁). They also have a private dining room so you can organise a huge party and invite your friends (I’m planning on doing that). These all are included in price which was a huge surprise for me. The stuff team here is amazing ❤️ They are very friendly and will help you out if you have any problem. Very kind and lovely people, I’m glad to be friends with them! The other advantage is that it’s quite here at Canvas. You don’t get to wake up at the middle of the night from someone screaming outside the house at it’s a quiet area but still close to the city centre!

The staff are by far the best part of living here, they are always so nice and helpful. Brian the maintenance man is the best, always resolving issues in canvas as well as being a great chat and a laugh. The staff here also make me feel very safe and accepted for who i am. There is a range of events on all the time for all kinds of interests and holiday. The night staff are also so lovely and do such a great job. 10/10 Would recommend to students wanting a great place to stay and 100% worth the money.

Canvas Glasgow is the perfect option if you are looking not only for an accommodation, but also for an exciting experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and is always ready to help you out (Kudos to Andrew and Gary for helping me out and being such amazing people!). The social spaces are very nice as well, and the cherry on top is the amount of events they organise (like for Pancake Day, Valentine's Day etc). The only thing I would suggest the team is to be a bit more strict with the kitchen situations. It might be possible that your shared kitchen is dirty and messy, which obviously depends on your flatmates. Even though there are weekly inspections, the action taken does not seem enough. Besides this flaw, the overall experience is great and I would suggest any student to join this incredible accommodation.

Out of all the student accommodations I've stayed at during my time in Glasgow, Canvas has been the most welcoming and most homely of all of them! The staff is incredible and always ready and willing to help with just about anything. The amenities such as the Gym and Cinema room make it a great place to socialize and meet fellow students. The location is the perfect distance from City Centre and only a few minutes walk to the nearest subway station.

it was my first time leaving home this year, as a 17 year old i was nervous about moving to a whole new city and scared to make friends. staying at canvas glasgow has been amazing and even on my first day i felt more than welcomed. it’s a lovely designed place with lots of things to do around the campus! they also hold activities to do where it helps you meet loads of other people, a few examples of this is massages, party’s, celebrations for different religions and many more. i have had a positive experience in canvas, one thing i love the most is the lovely team of workers they have to help you through out the year. i want to make a special mention to the lovely lauren that works the front desk during the day she’s always there to meet you with a lovely smile and a conversation, nicola she works nighttime and is always there to help when you need it, Gary the deputy manager with his funny personality and the maintenance guy Brian which you see around the campus. i want to say a big

Over the last two years I have resided in Canvas Glasgow and had an over all extremely positive experience. The location is perfect as it’s two minutes away from my university, perfect for rolling out of bed in the morning. it’s really close to the city centre which is very convenient. Canvas Glasgow is really modern and clean and offers a great set of amenities as well as social nights and events where residents can mix and socialise. There are so many good things about canvas however the staff are by far the best part, they are very friendly and always happy to help with whatever you need or just for a chat. Gary, one if the staff is one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met he never fails to put a smile on everyone’s face. If your thinking of living at Canvas Glasgow I would highly recommend it

I've had a very good experience at Canvas Glasgow. The place is not only nice and clean but also conveniently located near the University of Strathclyde and the city centre, both within a short walking distance. The organised events throughout the year add a lively touch to this place. The staff has been consistently friendly and helpful. I'd like to express special thanks to Nic, who has been exceptionally kind and supportive since my first day here. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great student accommodation!

Since I moved in in September, I have found a (second) home here in Glasgow. For me, the proximity to the University of Strathcylde, a nice and competent team that is always ready to help you and the service that is offered here is particularly positive. Even though I really appreciate everyone in the team, Marikus is the best for me! I would recommend this student residence to anyone who wants to live comfortably and still enjoy student life. There is a lot on offer here, from a cinema and karaoke room, to various socialising events and a team available 24/7 - living here is definitely a nice experience and makes the student years a bit more enjoyable :).

It’s a very nice place to live. The people who work here are friendly and helpful and they organize a lot of fun events. It’s closest to Strathclyde and Caledonian universities but if you don’t mind using public transport, University of Glasgow is also very easy to travel to. I would definitely recommend.

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.

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. The security measures are also good, as there are cameras around the building and 24/7 security staff.

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!

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!

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 :)

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.

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 😃

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!

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

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.

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!

Always something going on like at Christmas we had real life reindeers. Only downside is that I’ll be leaving in a year.

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.
