This year there’s been a lot of maintenance work done where we have to allow access to our rooms, and there was a day we were without electricity and water due to it
Hi Student, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. New Medlock House is supported by our onsite Maintenance Team and Third-Party Contractors. A Customer's General Obligations within our Terms for booking is to allow access in order for us to carry out any works, repairs, maintenance or installations required by law, such as a scheduled power outage, or any work associated with any necessary improvement or refurbishment work. Many thanks, Megan - Student Experience Team Leader
very close to the city centre and to the university facilities. i’m mainly in the brooks building and it’s only about a 7 minute walk for me. the reception team are very friendly and welcoming, especially jacob. the maintenance team are quite fast too, when i have logged an issue on the app they are usually ready to solve it the next morning. the rooms are nice, reasonably sized and have a large desk with 2 plug sockets and 2 usb sockets. there are also 2 plug sockets under the bed which is good if you like to use your phone at night, and the bed has a light above it. the kitchen is large and has plenty of space for you and your flatmates to store your stuff in the cupboards. the only negative i can come up with is how the lift was broken on move in week and i had to carry all of my belongings up 5 flights of stairs as i was staying on the 5th floor. also the heating only turns on when the room is at a certain temperature, and i was cold a lot so i had to buy myself a portable heater.

Compared to other accommodations, New Medlock stands out for many reasons. Firstly, the location could not be better. Situated in the city centre and only a 2 minute walk from Oxford road, 5 minute walk from the train station and a 5 minute walk to all uni buildings. My room is modern, bright and clean. The shower is especially great! The kitchen is so nice and spacious too. Everyone at the front desk especially Jacob, Marjan, Jenna and Megan are always so friendly, helpful and make you feel really welcome. Additionally, the maintenance team fixes any problems you encounter asap. I haven’t had any problems living here and can gladly say I wouldn’t want to have spent my first year anywhere else! It’s definitely pricey but having visited most of the cheaper accommodations, I prefer New Medlock.

the under bed storage is honestly the worst, it’s so heavy to lift up. i wish it was draws that you could pull out from under the bed instead. also izzy on reception is the goat, she’s so lovely and helpful and her cupid idea definitely deserves a raise;)
Good Afternoon Student, thank you for taking the time to leave us a Review. The under bed storage is the length and width of the 3/4 and double beds we have here at New Medlock House, perhaps this is the cause of the uncomfortable weight, or the mattress on top? We are very sorry to hear that this has caused you an inconvenience. Please do feel free to let us know if we can help to assist you with this in the future. Our Resident Ambassador influences what happens in the New Medlock House Student Community so we are glad you find them to be personable and that you are enjoying the experiences they have created for you. Megan - Student Experience Team Leader for New Medlock House.

Good Afternoon Student, thank you for leaving such an enjoyable Review for our Team Members! Megan - Student Experience Team Leader for New Medlock House.
New Medlock House is in a great location, particularly for Manchester Met students as its so close to the majority of the man. met buildings (literally round the corner) aswell as only being 10-15 mins walk to the city centre! The staff are brilliant and cant speak highly enough of them, all of them are so helpful and friendly and will go above and beyond to help, for example, Jake (staff member) is so helpful with any problems or queries you may have and if there is any problems, it gets resolved quickly by either staff or the maintenance team. The facilities are great, everything is modern and there is a large study space which is a lovely environment to work in as well as a pool table and other things. Its also a good price compared to other accommodations.
Good Afternoon Student, we'd like to say thank you for taking the time to leave us such a heartwarming Review! New Medlock House is ideal for Manchester Metropolitan University Students, offering easy access to campus and the Student Union. The buzzing nightlife, shops and the culture of the city are all reachable on foot!

The staff are super friendly here! Especially Jacob whom you can always expect a warm and friendly welcome from and goes out of his way to remember everyone’s name. Would recommend living here as its in the perfect location and near everything. One thing I would say to new students is to bear in mind it is not the most sociable halls however if you are looking for a clean, modern place to live in a convenient location that is reasonably priced for Manchester defo consider living here! Hope this helps :)

Really nice rooms, kitchens are a good size, ensuite bathrooms are small but good enough for one person. Price is on the higher side but worth it if you are happy to spend a bit more
Good Afternoon Student, thank you for taking the time to leave us a Review. Our kitchens are a fab size with Features such as a Breakfast bar and en-suite Rooms give you your own private shower room. Megan - Student Experience Team leader for New Medlock House.

How lovely to hear that you think our Team Members have such sunny dispositions! Megan - Student Experience Team Leader for New Medlock House
It’s alright for the money. Can tell they do try but some issues I have to sort myself because they won’t do it. Like cleaning the builders dust on the day of move in or sellotaping the window because they can’t fix a draft 😂 Don’t get me wrong. This is the best you’re gonna get for your money if you take the location and nearby places (think food and gyms) into consideration
Good Morning Student, thank you for taking the time to leave us a Review. Here at New Medlock House we do have on site Facilities Team Members who, once a Maintenance Request has been raised either via the MyUnite App or with your Reception will attend to work to resolve your issue. We do also have on site Housekeeping Team who, if requested, can provide room cleans. New Medlock House is just a 5 minute walk from the City Centre, with a convenience store on the ground floor and gym located within our sister Unite Students Building, Parkway Gate.

jake is the best receptionist, is a good laugh and gives good advice on takeaways hates it when i say slay
Good Morning Student, thank you for taking the time to leave us a Review. We are glad to hear you find our Team Members so highspirited and helpful. Megan - Student Experience Team Leader for New Medlock House.
New medlock house is an excellent place to live. The rooms are lovely however do lack a touch of personality. The the building and facilities are modern and easily available. The staff are all lovely especially Jacob who is see more as a friend than a receptionist. The whole place does give off a slightly flat pack feel however with everything feeling a little character less. Apart from that would recommend.
Good Morning Student, thank you for taking the time to give us a Review. How wonderful to hear that you believe New Medlock House to be a superb place to live and one worth advocating. Don't forget, you can make your Room here your own by shopping our Uni Kit Out product range: Shop living essentials from Uni Kit Out | Unite Students.

Hi Student, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a positive review! We're so happy to hear that you have been made to feel welcome here! Your New Medlock House Team :)
It’s a decent place, rooms are good size, I’ve got one of the smallest and I managed to fit most of my stuff in it. Staff really friendly, only downside would be our lift constantly breaking, it would be fixed for a couple of hours maybe a day or so, but then would just break again.
Hi Student, thank you for taking the time to leave us an honest review, we really apprecaite youe feedback. Your New Medlock House Team :)
Really amazing building with super cool staff. Needs work on the lifts but the refurbishment looks good. 10/10 location
Hello! Thank you for your Review! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us Feedback! The Building is only as good as our Students! Your New Medlock House Team :)
It was good I went there first year . There were too many fire alarms but I believe that there has been some renovations and improvements for this year students
Overall I'm pretty disappointed with New Medlock. For the money it is not worth it and they have just decided to kick us all out for the last month we were meant to be living here with barely a month's notice. There is no compensation offered apart from Unite students credit and considering I would never live with them again it's a pretty poor show. Lots of people have had issues with sewage leaks, mushrooms growing in their rooms and a lot of general disruption. Most of the selling points of this accom don't exist now and have all been taken away at a moments notice. The outside social area (promised for the warmer months) has been ripped up and out of use for most of our stay - this was the only real way to meet people at this halls. The washing machines have been out of order every other week until recently when they got a whole new set (leaving us without while the work went on) they have just replaced all of the locks and left sawdust all over my bedroom and bathroom. Terrible.
Bedrooms are okay, not much storage, wardrobes are maybe 20cm wide not near enough to even fit a winter coat in addition to daily clothes, mattresses without a topper are terrible, springs being the main issue. Bathrooms are tiny, no room to put anything anywhere, barely any room to turn around, when I arrived and saw the showers I gasped…having talked to my flat mates and seeing that they have had the same experience I can confirm that the showers are COVERED in black mould. Kitchens are usually a little dirty but of course that depends on who you live with and whether they tidy up after themselves so it’s not a fault of the accommodation itself. However, I did just come across a dead mouse just chilling next to the fridge… AND have heard of bug infestations in other flats which personally to me doesn’t seem like a place I would like to make my food. Poor mouse must have been exhausted after having to get up 7 floors of stairs since our lift has been broken for around a MONTH.
Not even 2 months in the flat and boiler broke/leaked, shower drain is blocked, there are bugs in kitchens and bedrooms, hoover reeks, and overall just way too overpriced
When I first moved in to live, my flatmates had huge party in kitchen at that time I did not know what to do. Freshers are not a joke. They had party from 7 pm to 7 am in the morning and 4-5 times a week. Downstairs non-ensuite rooms are good, but the shared toilets are full of fungus and with many spiders. The outside cleaning is good, but inside flat cleaning is absolutely poor. When you live right above the main gate, there is no chance to open window because people are smoking downstairs. Walls are very thin which we can hear everything inside the flat, specially next room everything! Their night shift staff were not here at nights. As a result so many huge parties come over here, who is not living here. Totally strangers. Receptions are lovely and friendly. The location is brilliant, it is in city centre.
I would like to formally complain about the cruel and unfair treatment towards us university students paying to live in your accommodation during in this uncertain time. Coronavirus has been an incredibly hard time for everyone, mentally and financially however you have continued to charge us obscene amounts of money for substandard accommodation with absolutely no remorse. How are you comfortable lining your pockets with the money of students and their families already struggling to survive in an economic climate where it is almost impossible to get a job? Your business is supposed to create a home for students not to take advantage of them for your own financial gain. All other businesses are struggling and have taken a hit due to the huge economic impact of Coronavirus however you have made the conscious decision to continue charging us full rent for accommodation we are unable to live in while milking struggling students for every penny they can possibly give you.
For the price it's really not worth it, for much cheaper you can get way better elsewhere. We had mice in our flat and it took months to sort it out and when they did they just put traps and poision in the kitchen.. so they were happy to leave dead mice behind the kitchen cupboards until they decide to refurbish it. Bedrooms are nice enough, comfy beds but they're small, good amount of storage and en-suites are nice but still not worth the ridiculous price point. The lock on the block door never worked and the main gate was often unlocked too meaning anyone could walk in whenever, reception helpful most of the time but lazy with logging parcels so you end up waiting ages to be able to get it. Maintenance were always good, quick and really friendly with fixing stuff for us. We had an issue with a flatmate and they weren't unbiased and took sides, not v professional. Good social atmosphere and made lots of memories but the it's way overpriced for what it is.
Covid-19: Option to extend stay for free if can't get home due to lockdown restrictions which I think is good and they provided a fair window for people to completely move out in order to not have to pay the last rent instalment.
Overpriced rooms that are outdated with constant noise all night, only good thing was the location
Rip off, pay way more than other halls for way less. Single beds, no flat cleaners, no TVs. Walls so thin and building so rowdy on a night (security do nothing) that you cannot sleep. Living here has put me in so much debt (£152 a week?!?) I’ve had to consider dropping out many times. Avoid!
Over priced, small and outdated. Lift was broken for months on end and flat was infested with cockroaches
Bad value for money. Poor quality beds, showers and curtains. However had a great time living here as met lots of friends. Not great social facilites. But staff are helpful with any issues, including maintenance.
Close to Uni and very sociable. Also gated.
Alright accommodation just very expensive and they will move everyone at the end of the tenancy to free up flats which is a hassle.
Their team is always available, I stayed here this year and have just checked out yesterday. They requested me to give a review and I was totally up for it because of such a great experience that I had. You can study in silence when inside your room and have fun with flatmates when you wish to, crowd here is great and they really tried to find me people in my flat as per my preferences.
Had a great time here! Excellent location, amazing crowd and friendly management. Don't go for non ensuite rooms though. My ensuite room was good. Study table, bed, spacious room and good instalment plan!
This is one accommodation that allowed me to have store within the property and with Manchester's weather I had this as a blessing. The courtyard is always beautiful and fresh air is amazing. Cleanliness of communal spaces is always well taken care of and non-ensuite room students might face some problems as it's their own duty to clean but I totally loved this place as I booked an ensuite and stayed there.
Awful halls, £150 a week to stay in halls that have obviously never been refurbished since the 90’s. We’ve had water leaks, a broken fridge and no hot water. Everything is so old and dilapidated they only ever seem to change anything when it’s on the actual brink of breaking. The bathroom is only best described as a hospital bathroom which is why they never put pictures of it anywhere. It’s so cheeky of Unite to charge 147 pounds a week for such disgusting halls, when the halls through MMU (not a private company) are the same price and everything is brand new.
My wifi was down I told various people at reception and they told it was not their problem and I and I and ring the company that provided the wifi and nothing was done for 2 weeks even though they promised they'd get it sorted straight away. then my bathroom flooded they said they had fixed it but it just again. I would not recommend these halls!!!
Not worth the amount of money they charge at all. Literally all it has going for it is decent security and it's 3 mins away from the John Dalton building. Stay in Wilmslow Park instead same price but 1 million times better
Good location, very central to Universities and central Manchester.
The location and the people there were good, but everything else was terrible - but if cockroach infestations, locks that break, flooding, black mould, no sofas and power cuts every 3 months (electricity and water) are what you want you can get all that for the low, low price of £145 a week then go for it :)
Well, what can i say. the most dreadful uni year of my life, was placed with awful flat mates as we specified to be with certain people because of a previous bad experience.The room we had was bog standard not worth £150 a week, walls were already peeling, a hole in my door, fag burn in the curtain bit like your cheap skeggy B 'n' B had about 5/6 power cuts and water outages since being there, kitchen doors hanging off, what looks like cum stains all on the furniture in the kitchen which again was bog standard, very dissapointed as went to flats on lower floors and they were worth the money. the heaters never heated the room were always too hot or too cold. Just an awful place not worth the money.
Staff lazy, reception hours are given but they are never open. Overall bad customer service.
Quite expensive because private halls and near centre, however social life here is basically non-existent. Also experienced cockroaches and had to move flats for a month.
Total s***!!! Find somewhere else to live! No value for money! lift constantly broken. Fire alarm doesn't work, filthy, noisy.
Only positive is the location and social life. Everything is is below average, laundry is awful (the dryers do not even dry your clothes because anybody can open them and stop the drying), rooms and dated, heating is terrible - heaters in bedrooms only stay on for 5 minutes at a time (in all bedrooms), kitchens are small, dated and dirty when you first move in, staff are useless, maintenance take weeks to respond to anything you need fixing. There are plenty other student accommodations nearby which are so much more modern and better value for money - don't waste your money paying £147 per week for this s*******.
Didn’t really enjoy my time spent at new medlock house - seemed really expensive for what it was. In my opinion not a very sociable halls, however it is very close to university which is handy. Staff were fine and dealt with any issues if I had any
Not good value for money. Room was practically falling apart, several maintainace requests before issues were resolved. Shower broke, toilet seat broke, door broke, mattress worn to bare bones, filthy curtains. Gym is not on on site and is rubbish. Cleaners never clean. WiFi signal awful. Great location though, near town, uni and clubs.
Awful depressing place. Drains don't work, shower constantly not draining properly so floor constantly wet, shower mouldy due to above and fan not working. Smoke alarms covered. Hob and oven controls missing numbers so have to guess what temperature and ring you are using. Cleaning supposed to be fortnightly prior to Christmas none for two months. Noisy, thin walls. Common areas in flats dark, dingy and depressing. Absolute rip off for the money would not advise existing here
Pros- location, large bedrooms and kitchen area depending on the flat, furniture is alright but depends on the flat, kitchen door is soundproof so you can have music on without disturbing other flatmates. Ensuite is incredibly useful and great to have, Reception staff are incredibly nice and maintenance are friendly and helpful. cons- walls between rooms aren't soundproof you'll be able to hear each other having sex, showers a bit dirty and old, heater is iffy and doesn't work on some occasions. If receptions closed when parcels arrive prepare to have to hunt for it or wait a while, I have lost my parcel on 2 occasions so I just send my parcels to my home address than uni. You won't know who your roommates are or what they're like until you move in so if you're a neat freak or hate noise this might not be the best place as you can hear peoples conversations in the next room pretty clearly and the hallway echoes.
Pros: Close proximity to the uni and buses. Helpful not sharing a shower. Small flat size is good. Cons: Internet is very unreliable. Rent is very expensive- you'd expect newer facilities for that price. No proper social experience. If you have loud and messy flatmates, sleeping is not possible. No guarantee of being put in a flat with at least one person who is of the same gender. Reception can sometimes be closed when parcel delivery people come, so be prepared to wait for your stuff. The accommodation is close to the motorway, so total noise pollution is high. First term had a lot of fire alarms being set off in the block in the early hours of the morning. Heating also cuts off and isn't powerful enough.
Nothing gets fixed, the whole building smells. My ensuite has no proper ventilation so everything smells damp all the time. The noise levels (traffic) are insane and the curtains don't block out the lights from sirens. Also report everything in your room because if you don't you'll get charged (£71) for issues that have remained unfixed from the previous year. Staff are friendly but unhelpful, everything is done slowly and to a poor standard. There's constant drilling and it always starts at 9am, they also make a lot of surprise visits to the flat at stupidly early times. Experienced a massive bug problem that they did nothing to fix. A HUGE waste of money and living that close to uni isn't worth it as you don't make friends, you can't sleep and everything is of a low quality.
This place sucks. The staff are rude. The place is grotty. We had fire alarms every night at 2 for the first three weeks and two long ass power outages where all the facilities were unusable. None of us have been remotely compensated for this. Also if you have something broken at the begging of the year it will stay broken. Compared to the standard of the other acomadation this is NOT worth the money.
DO NOT LIVE HERE IT IS THE WORST!!! Complete rip off
Worst accommodation, staff lazy, if you make complaints about anything they don't do anything about it. cleaners don't clean, they a lot of the time just walk into flat and leave cause decide it's already clean enough. Always noisy from them drilling yet no work looks like it's been done . They do water tests and light tests almost every week so you aren't able to have quiet enjoyment of the halls. They take ages to give you your post , even if you know from the carriers that it has been delivered they still won't give you it . You pay £142 a week for this is a joke . Complete waste of money
Good accommodation in terms of location near MMU. But the staff here are so poor, and fail to give you a good service. I was overcharged for my first rent installment which left me in debt for my first weeks at uni. They know very little and the staff at reception are useless with most problems or concerns. Maintenance staff aren't the best either and tend to leave things unfixed or problems half solved. I've had an awful first year experience here, but am aware this may be one of few bad experiences. The cleaning staff however are lovely and the cleaning ladies in particular are very friendly and always say hello. Accommodation can be loud at times, but that's student life for you! Would highly advise people to stear clear from living in block E... It's the absolute worst.
DO NOT STAY HERE. Cockroach infestation before we arrived- issue hasn't been sorted for 3 months - I am now having to commute to university and they won't give my my rent back. the cleaners don't clean and the place is a general mess. Complete waste of money considering birley house is just a ten minute walk away with exeptional cleanliness and is 30 pounds cheaper!
As a MMU student and having lectures in the John Dalton Building it made it easy to get to and from uni by living so close however, it's not worth the money! Internet cuts off. Water cuts off. Staff aren't very helpful.
wonderful placement for city centre and university, however a huge flaw in the management of this place. Staff have no interest or power to correct any issues in flats. Kitchens have pests and are in dire need of refurbishment, mine had no skirting around the counters and had mouldy food under them from the day i moved in. Walls incredibly thin and corridors are very echoey, may sound like nit picking but with very heavy fire doors for each room, slamming doors are a daily source of disturbed sleep, even from people just using the bathroom. TL;DR: good placement, but extremely expensive for what you get.
PROS: Great location for MMU & Oxford Road; Lots of shops nearby without having to go to city centre; Staff are friendly and very helpful; Maintenance team are helpful and prompt too; All bills included & unlimited; Each flat has one larger room, presumably for disabled students so you're lucky if you're given one of these; Free gym at another Unite accommodation 10 mins away; free kitchen cleaning is nice; walls and doors are pretty soundproof. CONS: Internet constantly cuts out; Heating isn't good, it turns itself off when the sensor reaches a certain temperature but doesn't heat the entire room; Living room isn't comfortable or cosy; Not much bedroom storage so don't bring too much! OVERALL: New Medlock was my last option but I'm happy I ended up here rather than a more crowded flat. The price is very high though, so I won't be staying another year. Ideal for first year students new to Manchester due to location and support.
It's crazy expensive for what you get, the rooms are tiny, boiling hot! I'm on the motorway so i can hear everything vehicle go past and the curtains don't stop the light so it gets really bright in the morning
Way too expensive for what you get in comparison to other halls with en-suite facilities, like Birley which are much better value for money and more well equipt for less money a week. However in a good location and well built and clean.
Although it is a bit more expensive than other halls it is definitely worth the money. Great service and friendly staff
I stayed there last year, absolute rip off, single beds, showers that dribble, eat and cockroach infestations! The staff are nice but the night staff are useless! Kitchens are grotty and dated, so overpriced
It's not amazing value for money, but it's like a little village that's in a convenient location.
