Living in Denmark is a dream come true for me. It' is more than just a place; it's a haven where you can relax, breathe, and truly call home. What makes this experience even more special is the beautiful tapestry of cultures that converge here.

Q
Hi, Can I ask why there isn't a dining table & 6 chairs in the accommodation? There are 3 bar stools for 6 people, 2 very small end corner sofas, and a coffee table that is stained and disgusting. There is room for a table & chairs so why do you not provide them? How are 6 people supposed to cook, eat and relax in here? Beyond disappointed with the accommodation especially at such a high price.

The roomsand flat are well equipped. However every room is of different size despite the per week rent being the same. The maintenance is also very slow so that's a bummer. But overall, the rooms are cozy and the location is ideal for me.

I have been writing complaints to the accommodation office (via email and verbal requests to the front desk) for over a month and finally got the issue sorted after 3 separate maintenance request forms and demanding to speak to the maintenance team when handing in my third form. The whole process took approximately 6-7 weeks since our flat moved in. The only way I was finally able to get the accommodation office to listen to me was threatening legal action with the students union. Credit where credit is due they did have someone in my flat that afternoon because I had told them how completely fed up I was and upgraded my priority for repairs. The majority of the minor issues in my flat were fixed but some of the bigger issues have still not been resolved 8 weeks onwards since the initial complaint. If you are reading this review I guarantee you that any accommodation offered by the university of Manchester (particularly unite student halls) and halls in Fallowfield are better.

I like my room and my kitchen. I have lovely views and there is enough space for me to live comfortably. However, I have had a terrible time with building maintenance. We were left with no water for a week and we’re given an extremely limited drinking water supply and no attempt was made to aid with hygiene. Staff were not receptive to providing help, or listening to complaints. My room is also subject to a silverfish infestation. Pest control came however it has not helped the problem. Very poor value for money, would not recommend to others.

There was a water disruption that took them 4 days to fix, even though I could not access any water including a shower and sink, they said there was no refund for me. Also, they seem to be slow in addressing issues. I asked them to replace the strange showerhead left by the previous user, but there was no service for a month. However, when I reported a kitchen water leak, they came to repair it in just about 5 hours. In the process, I was able to have the showerhead fixed by chance. The kind and nice staff mentioned that this floor had not been properly maintained, as the lights were out, doors were broken, and there were water leaks, yet nothing had been repaired since before moving in. Indeed, the facilities are nice, and there are many social events being held. However, I've experienced so many issues within just one month of moving in. Currently, one of the kitchen lights is still broken, but their response is so slow that I don't even feel like going to the front desk to complain

Denmark Road: A Two-Year Home Away from Home "Denmark Road" has been my cherished student accommodation for the past two years, and it's more than just a place to stay. In the heart of the Manchester UK, Denmark Road has been my comfortable and supportive home away from home, offering a cozy and convenient living space. With well-lit, spacious rooms that come complete with private bathrooms, it's the perfect environment for focusing on my studies. The accommodation's free Wi-Fi and inclusive utility bills have simplified my life, ensuring that I could remain connected and focused without any financial concerns. The cozy study spaces have seen me through countless hours of studying, and the recreational amenities, including table tennis and a pool table, have provided a welcome break from my academic pursuits. Over the past two years, Denmark Road has not only been a place to live but also a place to forge lasting friendships and memories with its friendly and helpful reception staff

My experience at denmark road has been great! The rooms are spacious and well light. You don't feel cramped in your room and can stay in comfortably on a rainy day. The kitchen is amazing and the ventilation is great! The appliances work really well and it's always a fun time cooking some food in the kitchen. The best part is the private bathroom!! Which is no less than a hotel room and makes the living experience as an international student very comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful! The also have a thing called freebies Friday where they keep some goodies for students to take!

Denmark Road was a nice accommodation generally, it had a great location and the flat was a good space. However, there were multiple water issues during my stay there that lasted from 4 days at one time to around 2 weeks at another time-we did not get a full refund and the staff were extremely slow and unbothered to organise and get maintenance sorted. Due to this, the accommodation was not worth its high price, especially considering the price is going up next year. Also the common room is quite dirty and was left unclean for long periods of time.

I have been living in Denmark road for this academic year. I must say the rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The cleaning of the social spaces and weird smells have been a big concern throughout my time here. I've noticed that the couches have really old stains on them as well in the main common space. We have had electrical issues in our flat and even after a month they are unresolved despite the maintenance guys coming in really often. The maintenence team does always come over within a couple of hours of the complaint but maybe they could use some extra training for better solutions to the problems in the flat.

The accommodation is conveniently located near supermarkets and within a 20-minute walking distance from the university. The reception team has been exceptionally helpful and friendly. The property management team is dedicated to maintaining and overseeing the premises. However, the cleanliness of the common area consistently carries a strange smell. The trash area also poses an issue, particularly during weekends when the wind blows the trash around, causing it to scatter everywhere. Furthermore, since the property being leased by both the university and a sanctuary. Unfortunately, due to not booking through the university, we often find ourselves unable to participate in numerous events. This situation can be disheartening and may evoke a sense of discrimination, considering that all residents share the same accommodation. Sometimes event notices are posted in public areas without indicating their exclusivity to university-booked residents, leaving us unaware until we arrive at the

I would 100% recommended my friends about Sanctuary Student’s Denmark Road Accommodation. It is extremely close to all the main University buildings (10-15mins walk max), and is located in front of a beautiful park. All the stores for groceries and other necessary shopping are right next to the park making it extremely convenient for every student to get them. The most attractive thing other accommodations miss out on is the kitchen/living area that Denmark Road Accommodation provides. Its the largest common area/kitchen I have seen amongst other accommodations. The reception, repair, cleaning and security staff is extremely helpful, making our life super easy amidst any difficulties. For instance, our microwave was replaced within a week of the complaint and we got a brand new microwave . The only thing I would say about Denmark Road ,Sanctuary Students Accommodation which is a negative point is that the walls are too thin. I would rate 8 out of 10 stars for Denmark Road.

Denmark Road is a lovely accommodation for students wanting to live near the university and city. It is very clean and quick to fix anything in people's rooms. However, the social life is very limited therefore I would not recommend this too much to first year students. It is very expensive, and for the storage spaces in the rooms as well as being well maintained, the price is decent. But, it is nothing too much better than other accommodations I have been in that are much cheaper.

Denmark Road accommodation is great with spacious rooms and bathrooms. The double bed is very luxurious compared to other accommodations. The Whitworth park is opposite to the accommodation which provides a good location for a leisure walk and is very close to the university and grocery stores and other necessities. The only concern is that it is expensive, the mattress is horrible and took me 3 months to get used to it. The heater is horrible and doesn't work at all. The washroom basin taps are horrible because hot and cold taps are independent and the hot is tooo hot and cold is very cold. You need a mug or a cup to mix the water.

It's one of the best accommodations to live in close to the uni, with nice spacious rooms. I was lucky as I got the bigger room and have ample space inside. On the contrary, my flatmates weren't the most social and so the flat experience isn't too great. They're good people, but I can't host anything at my place as they find it inconvinient. The most problems I had here were with the WiFi, as some apps just didn't work on my phone but that is more of the service provider's issue and not Sanctuary's. The people at the reception are really helpful and understanding. I would like to especially mention Harry here, he's great. About social life, to be honest even I don't have a particular social life here, but that's on me and you get plenty of chances to build one. Join whatsapp groups, attend some parties and you'll have a good time here.

As a postgraduate student, I was looking for a quiet place to stay and Denmark Road was the perfect fit. The amenities are good enough and the location is perfect as it is really close to the University of Manchester, grocery stores and restaurants. The common areas are well-maintained. However, given the high amount we paid, it would have been good if we had cleaning services available inside our flats as some other halls such as George Kenyon Hall had cleaning services even though the tenants paid less. The internet connection is quite poor too but before I left, I saw some maintenance work being done to improvise the Wifi speed.

One of the nicest accommodations that Manchester has and really good value for money when you look at different universities' prices. Really good location, 10mins walk to main uni campus and 10 mins on bus/30 min walk to city centre. Really nice staff and 24/7 staff in the office. Security is really good too. Only issue I had is the social life is rubbish. Mainly international students, who prefer to stay in and study compared to having what I consider a typical uni experience. If you want somewhere social, go to Fallowfield which is the biggest accommodation. It's not as nice but it definitely makes up for it in the atmosphere.

Great location. Terrible social life, it’s possible to have a good social life but it’s purely dependant on luck and having sound flat mates. I’m not saying you won’t make any friends but having lived here I can say I would’ve rather lived in fallowfield. The location is great but realistically you won’t be going to that many lectures in first year anyway coz you’re probably lazy so it’s not too much of an issue, plus so many people live in fallowfield that even though it’s far Away you’ll have people to go to lectures with so it’s not too bad. The rooms are really nice though tbf and there’s worse accoms at not too dissimilar prices. Of the en-suite accommodations I think Denmark road is the best. The common room is actually quite good although sparsely used and when it is it’s by international students so they’re hard to interact with. I’d say this halls is ~65% international students. You don’t get a cleaner. Just think about what you want from first year when you’re applyin

On the plus side; great location, only having to walk 5-10 minutes to lectures in the morning is a blessing. The rooms are modern and aesthetic. The double bed and en-suite is a plus, there is also a lot of storage space including underneath the bed. The kitchen and living area is spacious (keep it clean) On the down side; The walls are incredibly thin, I was unfortunate enough to have very loud flatmates and could hear everything, from the phone calls to the constant music-playing from 12pm-3am daily, it was detrimental to my studies, would have been more bearable with a little sound-proofing. The silverfish infestation in all of the bathrooms got very annoying after a while, I want to pee without a critter scurrying between my feet. As far as social life goes; it is what you make it. The management is the worst thing, there was a water issue (7 days without any running water) during term time, and there was no compensation or resolution from the staff, I became ill because of it.

One of the worst halls in terms of management. All throughout my year we have had multiple water issues with frequent water flow cuts and boiler issues. Days on end spent without water. Walls are also very thin. It is modern and nice flatmates (if you're lucky) but be vary of water issues

Really good location and I have great flatmates. The only problem is that the maintenance seems to take about a month to actually get anything sorted, oh and the bug problem in all the bathrooms is annoying too.

Pros: great location, modern building, decent sized room, en suite bathroom, double bed and a good kitchen. Cons: no sound insulation in the walls, not the greatest staff, temperatures in the room are hard to regulate, poor social life. Denmark Road is a nice place to stay if you want to live close to the university campus (5-10 min walk) and Oxford Road (2 min) with a great amount of busses to take you around Manchester. Not having to rely on public transport in the mornings should not be underestimated. Let’s be honest, nobody likes waking up for those early 9am lectures. That is probably the biggest advantage of living in Denmark Road. The building is modern with some decent common room facilities. Mainly a lot of empty space though, with a small seating are, a pool table and a ping-pong table. The rooms are bigger than average and come with double beds which is a big plus. You will have a lot of space for storage including under-bed storage to keep suitcases or other large it

Pros: Location - the accommodation is situated close to a range of shops and supermarkets - 5 minutes walk from Tesco, Sainsburys in the other direction, and Asda is about 15 minutes walk. The university is only a couple of blocks away. Rooms - Decent size, double beds, lots of storage space and a place to hang your coats. The ensuite is perfect and actually looks like a bathroom (not like some of the other halls of residence). The bed is comfortable and have a decent amount of space. Cons: The walls have no sound proofing whatsoever. My room was situated next to the kitchen (the wall which housed the cupboards and shelving units was directly on the other side). Very noisy at times. Temperature: Cool in the winter, but extremely hot in the summer. Needs some sort of cooling system, especially on the upper floors like my room. Overall, though, I would recommend staying here.

If you are looking for a good lively social experience. Don't come here. There is no social life whatsoever. Lovely rooms and double beds with ensuites but if you are looking for a good exciting uni experience don't stay here. Take it from experience I would have a much better time at uni if I didn't stay here. Harsh but true.

Where to start. The simple fact is your paying for the location and that it is pretty new. The people that live here are majority the type that stay in rooms keep themselves to themselves. If you want more social look elsewhere. The rooms are nice so if you want to sit in there thats fine-providing you have a good temperature regulator on your body. If you are on the higher floors in the summer periods it is like a sauna. In the winter the lower floors are literally like living in the arctic. There is no central heating and expect one small portable heater to heat the whole kitchen. Which switches itself off after 20 minutes. The security and res life team seem to treat you as children they have to nurture not the adults you are. If i had the choice i would have chosen somewhere else.

Positives: -Big room, double bed, huge bathroom. -Well-equipped kitchen Negatives: -Non-existent sound proofing (i.e. I hear it when my flatmate's phone vibrates, sleep with the lullaby of my flatmate's snores, and can hear every conversation that goes on in their rooms, including what their mum is telling them on Skype) -Cleaning services: Most other halls provide cleaning of the kitchen, but not for Denmark Road. Which is okay, since university students should be old enough to tidy up their own spaces, but when you've got dirty flatmates who refuse to cooperate, you've got to be the maid. What's worse, when I first moved in, the room was covered with what I could only assume to be leg hair of the previous tenant. I wonder if any cleaning was done between leases. -Heating: Has a heater that shuts off every 2 hours. Meh.

Great for if you're used to a bit of luxury. But if you want a more social first year I'd recommend anything in Fallowfield. Whilst Denmark is great for if you want to do work it's kind of boring on the weekends. Absolutely love my room and kitchen though, it's definitely better than what I've seen in other accommodations.

Positives: You get a great living space with a TV, sofa, spacious kitchen between a flat of six people. Bedrooms are all large with a double bed and ensuite. One of the closest halls to campus, only a ten minute walk away. Potential Negatives: The cost is very high, just under six grand for the year, but you do get value for money, these are probably the best halls on the whole campus facilities wise. For most phone networks not great signal, and the wifi isn't extremely fast though decent enough. Cleaners only clean the corridors/ social spaces so it's up to you and your flatmates to clean your rooms and living space. Can be a little noisy if you're on a lower floor since you're in the city centre. Overall if the cost doesn't put you off I would definitely recommend staying here, they're great halls.
