My experience with the Applegate place has been very positive. I have a small en-suite room on 4th floor in block 2. It is actually a good size (I don’t have a lot of stuff I bring to university. I share the kitchen with 13 or 14 people which at first sounded like a lot. However, the kitchen is huge and split in half, there are appliances on each side so there are technically two kitchens. We also have lockers so we don’t accuse each other for stealing food too much. I can’t feel that there’s that many people living here. When it comes to cleanliness, it all depends on your roommates. I was quite lucky with them here as people mostly clean after themselves. We had a few bad incidents due to 2 people making mess, but everything’s been resolved. The gym has everything you need and isn’t too crowded. Staff is amazing, always helpful, I’ve had especially positive experience with Katarzyna, Stephen and the maintenance team. Overall it’s a shame I found Applegate so late (3rd year).

great accommodation, staff are very good too
Thank you for sharing your review on our Applegate building!
Helpful and dedicated staff, especially night staff member Micheal who always answers his phone when called and is happy to help. However, I have been needing a fob for almost a month now and they say that they cannot give me one because the engineer has not yet come to fix the system. It has taken to long for the issue to be fixed.
Thank you for reviewing our building, please feel free to contact us on book@hellostudent.co.uk if you would like to discuss this matter further!

Comfortable living spaces with gym, big kitchen and lots of social activities offered throughout the year.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it is lovely to hear that your experience with us was such a positive one and that you made use of the on-site facilities!
Although you have to share with 20 people the place stays relatively clean and the staff are all amazing and helpful whenever there is a problem.
Hello! We understand this may be a lot in one go but the proof is in the pudding! Your words reflect how we aim to operate every site and we are over the moon that despite doubts, your experience was positive overall
Nice Accomodation, amazing people to the management, a lot of event. I chose this Accomodation for three years for these reasons. :)
Hi there! Three years!? We must be doing something right! We are so glad that we excelled your expectations and you enjoyed your time with us :D
Really clean and comfortable place to stay. Easily accessible and located well between the city centre and DMU campus.
Thank you for sending in your review, we appreciate the feedback!
Stayed here for two years and have had a great experience, the location is perfect, close to uni, shops, clubs and bars. Slightly on the pricier side but worth it for the quality of the room, I always get compliments on my room. Cleaning is done regularly and is always good but the cleanliness of the kitchen depends on your flatmates. Overall, I’d recommend this place to anyone!
Thank you for taking the time to review our Applegate building, we use these to better our service for our students!
Amazing staff Sarah, Sonya, Tammie and zuleikha easy to talk to and are polite, amazing value for money and convenient to get to university and town center

Perfectly situated at the edge of town near all major events locations whilst being a leisurely 5min walk from the DMU campus. Rooms to fit most budgets and amazing views.

I have had an amazing experience so far, Damion and jay have both organised a few social fun events to keep the resident occupied. One of the staff from the maintenance team came to fix my leaking tap immediately and completed it with in 4-5mins. I’ve so far had a great experience. I will definitely rebook for the next academic year.
