I had an amazing experience at park view. The receptionist and maintenance people are lovely. A particular receptionist name Elena was one of the loviest and most helpful person on desk. She is always very informative and fun to be around when hosting events. I would recommend this place as a student stay!

The perfect place if you want something within budget and close to the university. Reasonable distance from Lidl and other stories. A bus stop right outside the accommodation and the staff are super friendly and helpful. If you are an introvert this place is for you as there will be absolutely no social events. The accommodation offers free hamper/products very frequently. Now coming to the drawbacks, the place offers no social events and therefore if you are first year student/ a social person, find someplace else. The WIFI is terrible, it gets disconnected for like a hundred times a day on your phone and don't rely on it for video calling. Frankly would have preferred another accommodation if not for the price and the staff. 👍🏼
Thank you so much for your feedback we really appreciate your review. We appreciate the positive comments and we will look into the issues that you have raised to provide a better service for the students.
Overall, for this price, you can get accommodations with a gym, cinema, way more central in an area you don’t fear for your life. My stay at Grafton St Sanctuary Students made me realise what I was missing out on and how terrible this accommodation is. I wish I could go back to tell everyone to move out, because they’re wasting money on NOTHING!! Do not go here, there are so many better places with better facilities, staff, area. To summarise - dirty room & kitchen (literal SOCK in my room when I moved in, years worth of dust, dirt, and blood). Staff are rude, inconsiderate, slow. Oven never worked. Parcels late. Haven’t got my deposit after 6 months. I have my things in a jammed cupboard that they STILL haven’t fixed!!!! Dodgy area. No common room. Below average wifi. There aren’t staff/security on site 24/7, which is the worst in such a dodgy area - unlike my next accommodation that was only £115 a week and had 24 hour security. Do not waste your money!!!!

Kind regards. Laura O’Brien Assistant Manager
No 24 hour security, incompetent staff, dirty rooms when moving in, no social events, no common areas, location is dangerous but transport links are okay, staff are unhelpful, slow response time to emergencies, slow response time to faults within the flat, would not recommend to anyone ever
I had an amazing experience at park view. The receptionist and maintenance people are lovely. A particular receptionist name Elena was one of the loviest and most helpful person on desk. She is always very informative and fun to be around when hosting events. I would recommend this place as a student stay!
Thank you so much for your amazing review. We are thrilled you had such a great stay with us!
My viewing of the property was conducted online by Elena and she was super nice, helpful and patient. She answered all of my questions and provided me with many useful information. Completely satisfied!
Thank you so much for your review. We are delighted you had such a positive experience.
I've recently booked a flat viewing and was given a tour by a very kind lady, mrs Jo. Unfortunately I will be living somewhere else next year due to flatmates' preferences but I definitely recommend this hall to other students. The location is very good - close to university, a lot of shops and Whitworth park, although I advise caution at night. The lack of separate common room is a bummer, but there is a social little corner in the reception area for anyone interested. Overall a pleasant viewing and a solid accommodation option compared to other places I've heard about :) *ratings are just a bet*
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We really appreciate the feedback.
For my viewing, Elena was extremely friendly and helpful! While I didn't choose to live there ultimately (the contract length was too long for me), the space looked really nice and clean. Great location as it's a 15 minute walk to Uni!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We really appreciate your feedback.
The staff were all very nice here at Park View.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are glad you had such a positive experience with us.
The staff at reception, especially Elena and Leah are really great to talk to and really helpful when I need help with anything. So overall engagement is really great. However some of the facilities could be improved such as the WiFi as it is often quite slow and I often have difficulties reconnecting, and social things have been lacking but this is probably due to Covid. Overall though, a really nice place to live.
Thank you so much for your lovely review we really appreciate the feedback. We will look into the problem you have raised.
The team at Park View are amazing! Helen, Leah and Elena always stop and chat and will do anything to make your day! Neil, Andy and Zekiel are just as great and look after us and the building so well. I’m gutted I won’t be staying next year (it’s my final year) but I would recommend Park View to anyone!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We are delighted you had such a wonderful time here.
Great cost, especially for students completing an NHS course. Good location - walkable distance to main campus. The process of booking this accommodation was made 100 times easier thanks to support provided by Elena Bernal. Really helpful and dedicated to answering all your enquiries. Very much looking forward to next year.
Thank you so much for your amazing review. We really appreciate it.
Great service. The lady was quite welcoming, considerate, and thorough

Park View staff are extremely friendly and I have found through personal experience that Leah and Elena are both willing to assist you with anything and will go out of their way no matter how big or small your issue. There is always someone friendly to chat to in reception and the general atmosphere is very welcoming and enjoyable!
Thank you for taking the time to review Park View! I'm sorry to see you weren't able to give us a 5* review, however, it's great to see the team have all made your stay a great one! Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager, Manchester
Good location, not too far from universities and the center. Aldi, lidl, Tesco, super drug, pound land is a 10 minute walk from the accommodation!
Thank you for the great review! So please you have enjoyed the location and I hope the team have looked after you well this year! Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager, Manchester
It’s a nice accommodation but unfortunately it lacks any social functions and is a little overpriced. The staff like Elena Bernal are trying their best and always offer freebies.
Thank you for taking the time to review Park View. Elena is so happy you have given her a mention! We hope to make use of our amazing outdoor spaces this summer as restrictions are starting to ease! Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager, Manchester
it’s a good location and the staff is really friendly, especially Zekiel!
Thank you for the amazing review! Zekiel is over the moon to have been mentioned! All the best! Helen Baxter, Senior Property manager, Manchester
All the staff are very friendly and helpful, Helen the manager will always go out of her way to help with any issues or concerns, the two Maintenence men scott and Neil are excellent and always help out quickly and efficiently to resolve any problems that might arise, cleaners Z and T are great and always friendly and up for a chat, park view is a good accommodation for the price and in a great location close to amenities.
Thank you for taking the time to review us and mention all of the team that have made your stay with us a great one! If there's anything we can still do for you, please let us know! Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager (Manchester)
Park view is in an excellent location, with a bus stop literally right outside the front door. It’s situated 15 minutes from a big Asda, and 5 minutes from the main road with many other shops and main bus routes. The rooms are spacious, with an en suite and a large kitchen living space. I would recommend Park view
Thank you for the lovely review! We're really pleased you have enjoyed your stay and found the location to be amazing! If there's anything we can do to gain a 5* review from you in the future, please let the team know. Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager (Manchester)
Great staff and nice rooms, however security isn’t the best and its hard to get packages on weekends
Thank you for taking the time to review Park View. I'm disappointed you weren't able to give us an overall 5* review, but I'm happy to see that the team have made a positive impact to your stay and you've enjoyed the rooms we have on offer. Apologies that the office isn't open on the weekends, however we are aiming to introduce some later opening hours during the week very shortly which should help with parcel collections! Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager, Manchester

Can't fault, brilliant accomodation and amazing staff
Thanks for your review! What else is there to say? I'm so glad you have enjoyed your time with us. I wish you all the best for the future. - Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager (Manchester)
The staff here are amazing. They always have treats for us and seem genuinely interested in getting to know us. I had a hard time making friends and felt really homesick, they invited me to a party and introduced me to loads of people. I wish there was a bigger area where we could hang out or a pool table or something? I have rebooked my room for next year.
Thank you for your great review! I'm really happy you've enjoyed our little treats and the team have looked after you well. We are hoping to update our social space in the near future so will definitely pass your feedback about a pool table onto the Property Owners. It will be great to welcome you back next year. Have a great summer! - Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager (Manchester)
I have been with ParkView since September 2018. Parkview offers a really affordable accommodation in a great location, Universities are a ten-fifteen minute walk and is round the corner from great public transport links. The staff are great! The first year there were a few staff changes but staff members like Kerry, Helen, Neil & Few Others have helped with any issues or concerns I have. They are really approachable and nothing is too much. On the social side, this has changed again throughout my stay, whilst the first year there wasn't really much going on, this year however there has been multiple events and activities going on. Room facilities are good, although some areas could do with some TLC, but should anything go wrong Neil & the team would help us out quickly as he can to rectify it. Overall if you are looking for affordable student digs, in a great location and supported by a great team then look no further.
Covid-19: I had to leave the property in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 outbreak, since then the property team have been communicating with me how best they can help with and have been so kind into offering me to end my tenancy early in May 2020 and still keep my stuff safe and secure until the government says its safe to travel to collect. Parkview have gone above and beyond in this area.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! Myself, Kerry and Neil are really pleased and always love to hear how we have personally made a difference to someone's experience whilst staying with us. It's also great to know you have enjoyed our social events and the little touches we have added to make all of your days a little bit better! It's been a pleasure to have you with us, and we all wish you success in the future! -Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager (Manchester)
Amazing place to stay!!! All the staff were incredibly kind and helpful . Neil, Kerry and Helen really helped with a few teething problems which occurred early on, and In the end made for a really nice friendly place to stay.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Myself, Kerry and Neil are really pleased and always love to hear how we have personally made a difference to someone's experience whilst staying with us. It's been a pleasure to have you with us, and we all wish you success in the future! -Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager (Manchester)
The staff is nice. They mistook my request on the room but found a replacement.
Thank you so much for your review! I'm pleased to hear the team were able to put right any hiccups at the start and that you were able to enjoy living with us! -Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager (Manchester)
Staff members are very nice and helpful, always giving my packages and parcels in good condition.
Thank you so much for your kind words! The team and I are all really pleased We have made your stay with us that much better! -Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager (Manchester)
Sucks bad nothing in the flats and no security leads to constant crime, break ins and robbery on campus do not live here anywhere else is better
I'm really sorry to hear you didn't have a positive experience at Park View. I have been the Property Manager since July 2019 and so can confirm that we've not had any security incidents or concerns during my time. I am confident that the issues you experienced are no longer present and so once again, offer my apologies. - Helen Baxter, Senior Property Manager (Manchester)
