I was staying here the first year after opening and it was the best accommodation I could’ve gotten as a first year student. I was originally worried because of online reviews, but this accommodation beat all expectations I initially had. The staff are so friendly, the interior and exterior was just gorgeous, there is a little shop right next to the accommodation, it’s close to campus and it also *was* pretty affordable. The only downside I would say is that it’s not as social as halls would be, but much quieter which I preferred. Overall, I would’ve chosen to live here again if rent hadn’t increased. Thank you Parkway Gate team for making my first year in Manchester so memorable.

Cant be understated how good the location is with respect to both the City Center and the Uni. Rooms and kitchen are pretty tidy and people are really nice. Only problem is things seem to go Out of Order very frequently (like the Gym Treadmill or a Lift) but they are usually fixed soon enough.
Thank you for the nice review! We're glad to have made a friendly and tidy atmosphere for you. We do our best to get things fixed in the accommodation as soon as possible but sometimes come across unexpected delays, if you ever spot anything out of order before we're aware, just come let us know and we'll get to it as quick as we can!

Parkway Gate feels like a home away from home, the staff are lovely, Aisha and Carol are so nice and always really helpful. The property feels safe and secure and has lots of social spaces. Staying here again next year because I know very few people who live else where who have had such a positive experience with their accommodation.

Parkway Gate is a really quick walk to the universities nearby. Located in the city, it is super practical and has lots of services. The study rooms are well kept and perfect to work in. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Aisha has been really resourceful and welcoming when helping out with any enquiries. The rooms and kitchen are also very spacious!
Very happy to read your review. I know the team at Parkway gate does everything to make people feel home. Aisha is fantastic and her customer service is exceptional. Parkway gate is also one of the largest property in Manchester accomodating 754 students within the 3 blocks. The free gym is a fantastic opportunity to stay active. New Medlock house is next to us and you can use their a digital and a live music studio, or the dance studio if you fancy.
The environment is very good! All the things are new, the receptionist of Carol is very good especially.
Thank you very much for the lovely comment. My personal favourite is the karaoke room. It is one of the busiest room at Parkway gate :)
Really nice place and staff! Especially Carol! Love herrrr :)
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! I'm sure Carol will be thrilled to hear it! :)

On move in day my room was completely uncleaned and still had the mess of the previous tenant in the room. I had to wait two hours for someone to come and clean it and then cleaned myself because of the poor standard they cleaned it to. The WiFi goes in and out constantly and there is no social experience here for freshers as it is full of international and older students.
