Beckley Point Reviews

It was a lovely stay and the staff are phenomenal

The staff are so friendly and the rooms are beautiful! The views are to die for especially during summer. So many events (such as pizza and a pint) are held here too. An amazing place to stay!

Good location, Friendly staff, Good facilities

Very happy with all the facilities and rooms.

The lifts are shockingly bad. I’ve waited 20 minutes for one for it to stop on every floor. If you live near the top you can fell the building move in the wind. It’s really nauseating after a while, they could have designed it a bit better.

Been living here for 2 years and it’s been great! Reception is very welcoming and very helpful. The room is spacious and very cozy. Also, a great location as it is very close to campus and in the city center .

Amazing accommodation! Rooms are a good size and facilities provided here are top tier! Best bit is the location, very close to big supermarkets and most importantly, the Uni! Staff are very helpful and overall, the accompanying is pretty organised.

I’ve been here since September and love living here. Great facilities and the staff are always lovely. Any problems are resolved quickly.

Great facilities, great location and friendly staff.

I’m so happy living here! The staff are so friendly and the building is amazing. From study areas, to the games room, to the cinema room and even the sky lounge ... you can never be bored! I’ve met the most amazing people and live in such a safe area! I have recommended here to a few of my friends and will continue to do so:)

When I arrived at Beckley point my flat was a state! It was filthy!! From previous floods I also had a lot of water damage in my flat. The location is ideal though

Love the place :) even during Covid-19 the staff have been very helpful and attentive to maintenance or any other queries I might of had. Great social spaces all very modern! Just what a students needs.

No cleaning staff have ever entered this flat. Staff walk in without notice. Good social spaces although obviously reduced use due to covid

Had an absolute blast the past two years. Even with covid around, the staff have been caring and want to make sure everyone is safe within the building. I always feel safe within the building and would recommend Beckley Point to new students at Plymouth University. The placement is perfect literally across the road from the uni and supermarkets and less than a 5-minute walk to the train station. Good value for money for what you get - 2 student social spaces, games room, study rooms and also a cinema room. The staff are lovely and offer support and help if you need it. Couldn't ask for more really!

I have lived at beckley point for 2 years now and I absolutely love a lot of things about it. The privacy of having your own space is so much better than sharing and the facilities are amazing - a cinema room, big hosting kitchens, gaming room and study spaces with a sky lounge overlooking the sea. Wayne (the manager) is always here to help with any issues I have and is so helpful and always trying to make the experience the best (can be hard in a pandemic). There are many free gifts eg pancakes for pancake day, little goodie bags and competitions for pizzas and vouchers. I definitely feel I made the right choice choosing beckley point.

I’ve stayed at Beckley for 2 years now and I’m glad I stayed rather than moving into a student house. Amazing location and great social spaces which are kept clean. The rooms are small but most accommodations in Plymouth are small. I do agree with some of the other reviews about bad wifi and the pipes screaming when someone has a shower/runs their tap which is annoying. The shower drains get clogged easily too. However I do feel safe here and also feel that broken things get fixed very quickly which is so important. Some of the staff are lovely and will try and sort things the best they can. Sadly the social side has been bad this year solely due to covid but I’m hoping next year will make up for it :)

Great location, probably as close to amenities as any student accommodation. Very approachable staff.

Beckley point is an amazing place to stay and live out your uni experience, the wonderful staff make everyday good. It is a nice and clean building with students at the forefront. I would definitely stay again

Good place, facilities are lush. Room for improvement with some facilities etc but other than that a win. Covid has affected my view on the place but it is nice to live in.

Beckley has been an all-round amazing place to live - especially in the first year. The location is so convenient as everything is so close. The town is a 2-minute walk and the supermarket is even closer than that. University is a 5-minute walk too. I've found the social spaces really helpful. It just gives me a change of scenery from my studio. I have found I can get lots of work done in the study spaces and this is really helping me progress academically. All of the social spaces are very clean. All of the staff have been nothing but helpful. I haven't had many problems, but when I had a problem, they were very quick to sort it out.

I was emailed about this accommodation during College and I blindly booked my room when I knew I was going to Plymouth College Of Art. I am super glad that I did choose this place. The staff are really friendly and nice, it's always super clean and the social spaces and entertainment provided by the company are top-notch. The WiFi is amazing as well! I do experience some slight issues from time to time but that can just be down to bad weather or it needs to be down for it to be fixed. The neighbours in the building are... alright. I am able to make quick chat with them easily but a lot of them don't follow the rules that the staff have given. Nonetheless, I think this place is worth it if you are looking for a working space that you know you can feel safe in.

This building is a lovely modern place to live. The views from the sky Lounge emphasise how amazing Plymouth is to live. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to help you if you have a problem. I feel safe and secure living in this building and I would highly recommend it to other students who study in Plymouth.

The accommodation is maintained very efficiently, supporting students in their needs whether it may be from a social, mental or physical aspect. The management provide various opportunity for social interaction (pre-COVID) and maintain a healthy interaction on-line when needed during COVID.

A very modern building in the perfect location (not far from the main campus and the city centre) with some amazing views of the seafront from the sky lounge! The staff are friendly and always happy to help making it a safe and comforting place to live:)

My experience in Beckley has been very unique. With the on-going Covid pandemic, it has been very difficult to make friends and meet new people. The majority of the staff are friendly and helpful except the night staff who are very rude, aggressive and should not be working in an environment with students and young people!

Really good location with very good communal facilities staff are friendly and nice too, WiFi is not great or TVs, piping is a bit odd to drainage issues regularly!! But overall v pleasant

Staff Helpful and Understanding, always there to make sure you are looked after and any issues they are always welcome to help.

Really nice friendly staff close to the uni, it has a generally friendly feeling and it is still possible to book study rooms even with Covid

Beckley is located in a great area, super close to the uni, city centre & has a Tesco right next door! The social spaces are great, I love the sky lounge

I have stayed at this accommodation for 3years now in different rooms and the experience was excellent. 1st year I was in a 4 person flat with shared kitchen and an ensuite bedroom. 2nd and 3rd year, I stayed in a 2 person flat by myself and everything has been excellent. I needed something to be fixed this academic year and they came and fixed it quickly. The staff go above and beyond. The facilities are excellent and in the 3 years of staying there the WIFI has only been problematic once. It is in a great location in the city centre, near the mall, opposite the university and near supermarkets.

Beckley Point is in the centre of Plymouth, with all of the city's main attractions within walking distance. The social spaces are amazing, with plenty of study spaces, and even a cinema and games room! The views are amazing too, especially from the sky lounge.

Really nice social spaces, friendly staff but TSHC could’ve been more generous with the their covid response. Can’t beat the view though, rooms are really modern and I’ve really enjoyed my time here!!

You won’t get a nicer, more modern student accommodation, the rooms are the best I’ve ever seen with little to no price difference with other accommodations. The location is perfect and the views from anywhere in the building insane. The social spaces really do make a difference, with plenty of them and the cinema room and pools and ping pong tables there’s always a chance to be social or do something

Beckley Point has amazing social areas such as a cinema room and a sky lounge with amazing views. The study rooms are major useful if you would like a different scenery to study in. The studios are small but compact and has everything you need in them! Even though you can find other cheaper accommodation, they most likely won’t have the added ons like the social areas and study rooms. The building is right opposite the University and a short walk to the Barbican and the hoe with Tesco’s right next to it and Sainsbury’s opposite. It could not be in a better location. The cleanliness in common areas has been great especially due to Covid.

Staff are super helpful and there is always someone around to help you or listen to any concerns. The common areas are kept clean and tidy and are great for socialising. It’s just across the road from the university and is in very close proximity to shops as well so it’s in a brilliant location. The sky lounge has some amazing views, as well as rooms higher up in the building. Overall it’s a great place to live.

I have stayed in Beckley point since 2019 and it has been the most wonderful student accommodation. Even during the pandemic, having stayed at Beckley, the team on site made sure that the hygiene was maintained and arranged many virtual events. Beckley Point is the best!

So close to the uni, such a nice building and the rooms are well laid out with a lot of storage

This is my second year living here - it’s in a great location close to Uni, the town centre and the sea! Beckley has always been great and the staff can’t do enough to always help you out and make your experience living here amazing!

I’ve lived here for 3 years now and loved every minute of it! The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the booking and rebooking process is super easy and the location is perfect with uni being across the road and supermarkets in close proximity. I would 100% recommend Beckley Point to any student studying in Plymouth!

I will be living here throughout my whole university course! Location could not be any better , across the road from uni, right in the middle of the city and a short walk to the sea. Staff are lovely and you won’t find accommodation with better facilities.

Ideal location and brilliant common areas. Rebooked again for next year!

Beckley Point has amazing social spaces like study spaces, common rooms, sky lounge, a gaming room and a cinema room. This is probably always fun, but especially during lockdown it has been so refreshing and nice to always have something to do and not be locked in your room. I book the cinema room with my flatmates and we have loads of fun. Every accommodation has their issues but I find that the staff at Beckley takes care of the issues that occur in a timely manner.

I absolutely loved living in Beckley Point in my first and second years of uni! The staff are so friendly and there’s such a good vibe throughout the whole building - thanks to al the various social events such as breakfast mornings and ‘Beckleyfest’ I’ve made so many life-long friends! I can’t imagine having lived my most important and exciting years anywhere else 💗

Lived here for two years. Staff were always welcoming and friendly. The communal areas were always full of people to chat too but there was also quieter areas if you wanted to study. I lived in a studio, the studio itself was a nice modern open space, and the bathroom was small but functional. Had a nice view from my window! If you ever had issues with maintenance then the staff always responded to these promptly. It was fun to have a cinema room to meet up with friends in and watch a movie. Overall it was a really fun experience and I miss living there! It may seem pricey but in comparison university campus halls (which are priced fairly similarly) you get a lot more for your money!

The WIFI was terrible. I ended up using my data everyday. The rooms are small for the expensive price. However, the cinema room was really nice and the communal spaces are all useful, and the rooms had a lot of plug sockets and USB ports which I found useful. The showers always got clogged (not good if you're a girl with long hair), but the staff are always happy to sort it out for you quickly. It's still annoying though because it happened every month, despite me trying to be careful not to get it clogged. Also,the building always made random loud noises like squeaking pipes or weird random crashes. The staff are very friendly. However, the company that owns the building (The Student Housing Company) are money grabbers. They refused to cancel the last rent instalment due to the COVID-19 crisis, despite students being experiencing financial hardship and getting stressed out. Be careful, they only care about their money and not the mental wellbeing of students.

Covid-19: Considering that the Covid-19 situation has caused stress for people across the world, some people losing jobs to pay their rent, or having to help provide for their family where someone may have became unemployed, The Student Housing Company has shown absolutely no compassion towards their residents. They have caused more stress for us as residents by not giving any information for 4 weeks, for ridiculous offers to be given on a insufficient student portal, to finally give only one accommodation a straight answer of being released from our contracts. This process has taken 6 weeks to get any communication from TSHC, and I don’t doubt that the only reason they have responded is due to the pressure students were forced to put on the company. This will have undoubtably been to try and save their reputation.

I lived at Beckley Point for 2 years and I absolutely loved it! The staff are extremely friendly and the communal areas are amazing too. I made so many friends living here, which I think was due to the events that were hosted like pizza and movie nights in the cinema room and other events in social spaces. I wouldn’t have wanted to live anywhere else whilst at Plymouth Uni.
