Read Ropemaker Court Reviews
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! 👎 There are people working outside our windows staring at us in the morning. Also there’s super loud noise from the scaffolding we had to listen to for HOURS every morning! We tried mailing Ropemaker since they promised that the scaffolding work will be completed in a short while but it went for MONTHS AND ITS STILL NOT DONE. The only solution they came up with was window frosting so random men don’t stare at us while we sleep lol. This is the WORST accommodation you can take. Also random fire alarms go off at 3 am almost every other week. It’s super annoying.
The fire alarm system is faulty and ridiculous. It often goes off at night (after midnight) during the week. When it does, it continues to go off throughout the night and sometimes into the morning. It’s been an issue for at least 2 years now, yet staff are still keen to push the blame onto students. They insist that they are taking measures to change things but nothing ever does.
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear that your experience of living with us was less than enjoyable. Unfortunately the fire alarm was activated maliciously during November and December. We worked with the team, and security, to resolve these issues and to date, there have been no false activations during 2023. Please do come for a chat with us in reception if you feel we can do anything further to improve your experience of living here. Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
Absolute crap accommodation. Please do not pay to live here. Fire alarms going off at night. If you like sleeping, do not live here. They have fire alarm issues and are also drilling all the time starting from 8 am. So you can expect fire alarms at 3 or 4 am and then have drilling and scaffolding wake you up at 8 am. Lots of false advertising as well and it is extremely overpriced.
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear that your experience living with us has not been a good one. There were multiple fire alarm activations during November and December. Unfortunately these were being activated maliciously. This was out of our control. The Accommodation Team worked tirelessly with staff and contractors to resolve this issue and we are pleased to say that there have been no false activations in 2023. We do have builders on site, working on scaffolding from Monday - Friday. They are carrying out improvement works which has unfortunately meant that there has been some noise disturbance throughout the day for some students. We do try to keep students up to date with regards to the progress of this, and work is suspended during exam periods. We also have a Study Room, Cinema Room and Common Room which are all available to book should any student wish to study in there. We do hope that this response is useful to you. Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
Enjoyed my time thoroughly. Lovely staff, maintenance issues sorted quickly and good facilities.

Staff at the reception are really worse. I mean worse is an under statement. Really rude and careless but Jane is really good. The other staff and security are really good.
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that you thought the staff and security were really good. The Accommodation Team are always on hand to help with any enquiries or issues and we hope that you felt happy and safe here. Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team

A great place for students to feel at home being so many miles away from their actual homes. The management team instantly helps with any problems that may arise to make the stay as comfortable as it can get.
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
Ropemaker Court’s location really couldn’t have been better. It’s in close proximity to the university and has many eat outs and grocery stores around for essentials. The rooms are nice and spacious. The common kitchen is well equipped. The staff here is helpful and pleasant to talk to.
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for leaving us a review. We agree - the location of Ropemaker Court is fantastic for the Uni Campuses, shops and restaurants! The Ropemaker Team work tirelessly to ensure the best experience for our students and we are so glad you felt happy and safe. Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
Ropemaker Court is a great student accommodation in a few different ways: 1. The location is fantastic- uni is close, whitworth park nearby and shop/food places nearby. 2. The staff are fantastic. The reception team are friendly and work hard to help you have the best experience you can. Whenever I have had an issue with my room, the maintenance team ( in particular Steve-amazing!) sorts it out within an hour of me logging it. The security are also friendly and amicable. 3. The rooms are a decent size as well as the en-suite being a lot larger than other student accommodation I have seen. There is also a lot of storage- which is something I needed a lot.
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so glad you loved the location. We think it's in an ideal spot too! The Team works tirelessly to ensure the best experience for our students and we are so glad that you felt this when you lived here. Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
Social experience was hampered by Covid-19 but nonetheless the accommodation is very modern and the staff are always helpful
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Covid-19 proved a very difficult time. The Accommodation Team worked tirelessly to ensure that our students were safe on site. We would have loved to host more social events, as we usually do, but as you say, this was not possible due to Government Restrictions at the time. Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
My experience at Ropemaker Court was overall a good experience. I felt that the accommodation looked stylish, the rooms were perfect size and the shared kitchens were nice. I thought the reception and staff were extremely helpful throughout my stay aswell as the security guards, in particular Scott. The only downside I had while staying here was that I found a mouse in our flat during winter. However, I understand that we live next to lots of restaurants and businesses where rodents would possible roam, and once I complained to the staff and maintenance, they quickly resolved the issues and no one in my flat came across one for the rest of the stay. If you are looking for a private accommodation in near fallowfield I would highly recommend Ropemaker as it is in a great location and has lots to offer for a student.
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so glad you enjoyed living with us here at Ropemaker Court Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. There are many external activities as well and we just got treated with a bbq :D
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are so glad to hear that you found your room clean and comfortable. We do hold events each month to engage with our students and we are so pleased you loved the BBQ. We did too! Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
I very much enjoyed my experience at Ropemaker Court this year. Despite the difficulties arising from the pandemic, the accommodation team managed to make the stay both fun and safe. The team were friendly and always inviting, making me feel very welcome, particularly Simon! The facilities at this accommodation are amazing. Arcade machines, football tables, tennis tables and a big TV room are examples of the recreational facilities available for students here. There is also a study room. The bedrooms are very spacious, equipped with great facilities, and the kitchen is more than satisfactory. I would definitely recommend this to people looking for a place to stay in the upcoming year!
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for leaving us a 5* review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us.

Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for leaving us a 5* review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
Its an amazing accommodation to stay at. Its location is central as it is close to many supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, bus stops, University of Manchester etc. Rooms and kitchen have sufficient storage. Kitchens are cleaned every fortnight. I've stayed here for 2 years already and booked a room for my 3rd year as well. Rent is inclusive of all the bills including fast WiFi. I'd recommend students to stay here!
Good afternoon Hope you are well. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying living with us and have continued to do so for 3 years! Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
Decent accommodation in very convenient area. However there are regular maintenance problems.yet I would stay here again
Good afternoon Hope you are well and thank you for leaving us a review. We are glad you love the location of Ropemaker Court. All students are advised to log any maintenance issues on their online portal and our team gets to them as quickly as possible. Urgent issues surrounding water or electricity are attended to first, with less urgent issues being resolved at the earliest convenience of the Maintenance Team. Dependent upon the nature of the issue, there may sometimes be a slight delay when we are waiting for items from suppliers. It's great to hear that you would stay with us again. Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Accommodation Team
Very good location but things can be improved
Good afternoon, Thank you for leaving a review. We are glad you love the location of Ropemaker Court. We are always looking to improve our service or facilities and would love to hear your feedback. Kind regards Simon, Jane & the Ropemaker Team
scott was a good help and always
Hi Thank you for leaving us a 3* review for your stay with us. We are really pleased that you found our Security Guard helpful. We noticed that you scored us low on the wifi and the cleaning and we wanted to reassure you that our Wifi provider is scheduled to upgrade our speed and connectivity during the summer months and thanks to restrictions being eased, our cleaner is now able to resume the fortnightly kitchen sparkle cleans to help our students keep on top of the communal areas in their flat. We would like to take this opportunity to wish you every success with your future studies. Kind regards Jane & the Accommodation Team
lived here for 2 years already, staffs are really nice, rooms are clean and the kitchen is spacious. maintenance team works efficient as well.

I enjoyed my stay at CRM Ropemaker court. The location is excellent and the staffs were helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 4* review on Student Crowd. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We would like to take this opportunity to wish you every success with your future studies. Kind regards Jane & the Accommodation Team
Really enjoyed living here this year, team are very friendly and helpful and the accommodation is very safe and secure and has all the amenities you could want. Location is excellent, just next to Rusholme Lidl. Price for this and the quality is pretty good. Only thing I could improve would be wifi because it is temperamental, but this is the fault of Ask as I had them last year and they were equally poor then. The team here on site really do try to make your experience here a good one so I can’t recognise the reviews about rats etc from above, my experience has been totally opposite so take from that what you will!
Hi Thanks so much for leaving us a 4* review. We are pleased that you found the staff friendly and helpful and more importantly that you felt safe throughout your stay. We pride ourselves on the safety of Ropemaker Court and find that always having a Security Guard on site really helps our students to feel at ease. We are pleased to say that our Wifi providers are carrying out some improvements to the speed and connectivity in the summer months which should mean that the service is even better for our students. On behalf of the team at Ropemaker Court, we wish you every success with your future studies. Kind regards Jane & the Accommodation Team
The giveaways are awesome like the red bulls! Staff are friendly also!
Hi Thank you for leaving us a 4* review. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and glad you enjoyed the Red Bulls especially! We enjoy leaving treats out for our students, and hopefully there will be some more soon!! Good luck with your future studies. Kind regards Jane & the Accommodation Team
Really close to supermarkets and necessity stores (Lidl, Tesco, Superdry, etc). The rooms above the receptions are really quiet, rooms are newly refurbished. The staff and receptionists are all very welcoming and nice. Before I arrived at the accommodation, I posted all my belongings in three giant boxes to Ropemaker Court, the staff very kindly put the boxes in my room before I arrived. The bathroom has a towel rail, and there is a full-body mirror in the room which I like a lot. Very cozy and homey room. The curtains are absolutely great, they block the light very well. Overall very pleasant experience.
Hi Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 4* review. We are really pleased that you found the rooms cosy and the staff welcoming. We are always happy for students to send any boxes in advance and we can arrange for them to be in their room when they arrive. The supermarkets across the road are really handy for our students to grab any food or toiletries that they need. We have taken on board that you were not totally happy with the wifi service, and you will be happy to hear that our Wifi providers are upgrading their service and connectivity in the summer months. On behalf of the team at Ropemaker Court, we wish you lots of success with your future studies. Kind regards Jane & the Accommodation Team
This accommodation is literally infested with mice and rats. I have honestly lost count of the amount of rodents that have been reported in the past year. So much so, one flat mate found a dead mouse rotting underneath her bed. The flats had not been cleaned prior to our arrival, crumbs were all over the kitchen and the floors were sticky. The internet is appalling, yet they insist there’s nothing they can do about it. Most surrounding accommodation received compensation due to COVID, whilst they were not at their accommodation. We received absolutely nothing, as they couldn’t afford to give us a discount. This is despite them closing all social spaces in the accommodation, including study spaces. Not a lot of fridge/freezer space, and the hot water isn’t very reliable either. Don’t go here!
Hi Thank you for sharing your experience on student crowd and I am sorry to read that your stay was below your expectations. I hope that you were in touch with us so we could address the concerns you had. We have a 24 hours pest control response in place, unfortunately there are isolated incidents but there have never been any Rats inside the accommodation. Our internet is provided by ASK4 and we do ask that students contact them directly in the first instance as you have signed up for their service. However if you find Ask4 aren’t resolving your issue please let the site team know. We can escalate the complaint with ASK4 and support you with resolution. As an aside we are going to be receiving an upgrade to our service from ASK4 over this summer (2021). Throughout the lockdowns your Accommodation remained open and staffed, we increased cleaning across communal and high contact areas and only when Government restrictions forced us to, did we temporarily close some social spaces. These are all back open now on a bookable basis with stepped up cleaning schemes in place. If you are still a current resident please do contact us directly. Thank you Simon, CRM City Manager Manchester
FULL OF RATS , S***** WI-FI, RUDE STAFF No hot water most of the time, thin walls (can't get a good sleep because of al the noise) , Really small fridge space, staff is unhelpful, recurring rat problem that management doesn't deal with IGNORED STUDENTS PETITION TO REDUCE RENT DURING LOCKDOWN
Can't lie it was s***, no parties, no one was very sociable and many are International students who keep to themselves. Wouldn't recommend for students wanting to have a good social life and it's a fair walk away from the main bars and clubs. Although the room was nice I really didn't enjoy my time here and I felt really isolated. On top of that when I went home for half term and couldn't return because of a national lockdown they wouldn't release my from my contract and have made me pay for the whole year even though I lived there for little over a month.
Hi Thank you for sharing. I am very sorry to read that you had a negative experience. We do try very hard to please our residents but we do occasionally fall short. Throughout the lock downs it was difficult to host events as Government restrictions meant we couldn’t have groups gathering. We did host regular quizzes online through our dedicated social media channel @CRMManchester on Instagram with prizes for winning teams. As restrictions eased we have stepped up this programme and recently carried out a really successful week of events for Mental Health Awareness. We also did a Scavenger Hunt which proved really popular. For students forced to self isolate we were able to bring up shopping and parcels, provide some basic necessities and keep in personal contact with a programme of well being calls. At CRM students our residents welfare is central to our residences, so please do contact us at site to help identify what more we could have done to connect with you. Thank you Simon, CRM City Manager Manchester
