Most helpful review

Lindsay Hall at Keele offers exceptional value for money, and I would highly recommend it to a friend. The location is excellent, being close to the library, lecture halls, and other Keele facilities. It is safe and accessible at any time. The property management is outstanding, with regular maintenance and prompt resolution of concerns, and Keele Security is always on standby when needed. Resident Advisors (RAs) are available for support, even at night. The cleaning staff keeps the hall sparkling clean with regular cleaning. There are amazing social spaces, including a laundrette, where everyone wants to hang out. Additionally, there are plenty of social events and opportunities to connect and meet new people. The internet/WiFi connection is perfect for studying and entertainment throughout my stay.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Good but insanely overpriced. Other uni accoms offer way more for lower prices. The cleaners are friendly and good at their jobs. But issues with broken windows took a while to fix.

Lindsay Hall provided a place especially close to course-related buildings. Living with many students, mostly in first year like myself at the time, it was easy to make friends. However in S block, there was limited kitchen or social spaces compared to other accommodations such as new Barnes.

Most of the facilities have been out of order once in my period of stay here, including the main light, the radiator, the roller blind and the door frame in my room and the fridge in the kitchen.

I lived in Lindsay hall E Block. In my opinion this is the worst block to go for simply because it's shared with 50 students and there are only 2 kitchens which are located on the second floor (if you have social anxiety then this is NOT for you (unless you make friends with everyone)). Within the first couple of weeks living there, the other students had aleady smashed the entrance door, broke all the cookers and other few things (the cost will come out of everyones deposit). The only good things about these halls are where it is located and the room cleaner. The halls are next to Lindsay bar and I had a very nice cleaning lady! Nearly all the rooms have mould in and you have to share the showers & toilets which can be a pain if you have horrid house mates. I told my cleaner about the mould and she cleaned it up straight away for me! The other cleaners wouldn't clean the bathrooms at times because it's not their job to clean up vomit and faeces. So treat your cleaner well

Lindsay is a great hall, the Premier En Suite rooms were the best accomodation at the time on campus. The pricing was very reasonable when compared to other Universities. Lindsay is blessed with one of the best locations on campus with Lindsay Bar on site and close proximity to the main academic buildings. It has a great sense of community as well as stunning views over the Staffordshire countryside that make excellent Instagram shots!

Most rooms covered in mould- nothing done ever works because uni doesn't put money or time into fixing it- it's a health hazard for everyone who lives here. Kitchen space is too small for amount of residents. Kitchen is used as social space as there is no where else. This makes it more cramped. A lot of the time hobs and ovens don't work as well. Corridor is also used as social space- this is very noisy and can be heard from rooms. Internet access is poor, IT services want to check all your personal electronics before admitting the WIFI is terrible and do something about it- this is not acceptable as it's a university and we pay for it in our contracts. No group face to face communication has been given in regards to halls management- nothing from RSAs or security, nothing after people kept moving fire extinguishers. Walk to lindsay needs more Street lights also. Only good thing is the cleaners- better value for money in different halls.

Old run down blocks, wouldn't be a problem if place wasn't filled with damp, maintenance staff don't do enough but from what I've heard from them the orders come from above. Feels like a quick cash grab by the university until they finally replace these aging halls and seemingly against investing into any fixes or improvements. Many of the terms of contract are being breached. Internet coverage is varied and some rooms have none, any complaints you have however will be blamed on your devices and there is an overly long bureaucratic process to get this resolved and it seems I.T staff have been told to do as little about it as possible.

The living arrangements in regards to sharing a small kitchen with 12 others was horrific, however, I think it encouraged us as a flat to get to know each other, making us great friends in the process. I love my room, it's cosy. Howver, it's damn well freezing daily.

Absolute nightmare living here due to the whole building being accessible to everyone. After every night out for one person, the whole floor gets woken up. Kitchens are far too small for the number of people and repairs take weeks.

Lindsay is in an ideal location on the campus. The only let down is the fact that the common room, The Hexagon, isn't within the block, and there is no dining space in the kitchen.

Having no table seems like a small inconvenience, but really after nine till five day, coming home to cook a meal for 30 minutes and Then having nowhere to sit Down and eat it- it's awful. Lindsay Hall Block D has no table apart from your desk table so group eating/sit downMeals aren't even a possibility unless you count standing up at the counter in the kitchen. Constantly see/hear of friends in other uni's or halls you are having meals together as a flat or as a block. pre drinks involve sitting on the floor or bringing your desk chair into another persons room- not ideal and not even for buying our room table to eat at. Seems like a basic thing that's missing and would make a world of difference. No communal area either apart from external basic common room not in our block. Would you pay a lot more just to live in different halls with table.

Halls are great! Rooms are well designed and very spacious for the costs. Only problems are the fact we must share 2 kitchens between an entire block. Rather ridiculous as all universities I have friends at have one kitchen for 8! Also don't appreciate that the number of people per kitchen is not made clear online before you come to keele. Only other problem is that I find it rather surreal we are not provided with toilet roll. No university I have visited has expected students to bring they're own loo roll and once again this is not made apparent on the accommodation website.

Needs updating. Showers are good but lack power and turn on and off when both in and out of the shower. Windows can break easily and are susceptible to the weather meaning they don't close properlyz
