Raleigh Park Reviews

It would be better if RP can open to new international students a few days earlier who have booked their rooms in new semester. That would be helpful for these students have enough time to handle contingency which may be caused the pandemic, such as checking health condition in airports following different policy from different countries. Sometimes this process may take several minites or even a couple of days.

Absolutely terrible experience, flat was dirty when I moved in, it took the staff 6 months to replace the sofas which were broken upon arrival and Derwent Students have been exceedingly uncompassionate during COVID-19 and are demanding full rent payments, bills and utilities included whilst students are at home.

I the position of RP very much, and it is also very cheap.

So we are in the middle of a pandemic (CoronaVirus). The government as to leave uni halls and get back home ASAP. Which is what I and my friends have done. In the event of this University accommodation's and student accommodations across the country have decided to terminate contracts with the students. As there is no point in paying for something when you are using it. In Nottingham a lot of student accommodation have terminated their contracts with the students that have left their halls. Which is good. Raleigh Park still expect us to pay the full rent even though my friends and I won't be there utilising their facilities. I believe this is unfair as a lot of other student commendation in Nottingham are terminating their contracts, whereas we still have to pay. They don't care for us, otherwise the contracts would had been terminated immediately.

Struggling to get a useful response on a rebate for my final term rent. Due to COVID-19 all other students on and off campus both university and privately run have been given refunds. Raleigh Park seems to be very slow on this.

Pretty good value for money, I have a standard+ (standard room but with a 3/4 bed) and that costs ~£110/week including bills. Location is good to get into town and near two supermarkets - great for Jubilee campus but University Park is a bit of a trek. Management are incredibly slow to respond to any queries, and once woke everybody up at 06:00 on a Sunday morning for a fire drill then issued no apology when everyone complained. They also require lots of access, probably more than once a week on average, for some sort of testing or inspection. They could be much more friendly and considerate, Cleaning is fortnightly, which in a flat of 6, is pretty much useless. The cleaners are rubbish at cleaning, and shout at each other whenever they come. Social spaces are good, but aren't really used by many. This is probably because the social life is the saving grace of these halls, so people socialise in their block. The WiFi was recently upgraded, but it drops out frequently.

Raleigh park is a horrible accommodation and during this crisis (covid-19) we still have to pay rent where as St. Peter’s court took it in too consideration and allowed people who don’t stay on site not to pay rent? Don’t choose Raleigh they aren’t thoughtful to any individual and don’t care about anything in all honesty st Peters is much better so I’d suggest you do that accommodation as I regret Raleigh park

Thank you to Tony Lewis and the maintenance team for swift response to issues in the flat at the Farthings

007D the farthings will stay on site

The service is so nice and intimate. Thanks for all the questions that have been solved for me!

The cleaners don’t do a very good job. The WiFi cuts out. Reception staff can be really rude at times. Security are lovely though.

Well priced halls. Some minor issues with washing machines however they've recently installed new ones

Was put with international students who never socialised

If you like a loud party atmosphere, this is the place

Loved my time in Raleigh! If you a business student it is just a perfect location!

Worst experience of my life, living here. Laundry machines broke down every time I used them. Housemates were an absolute nightmare. I thought living in postgrad halls would be quieter and cleaner, but no. Most of them didn't bother cleaning up once, one guy acted like he owned the whole kitchen. He used the curtains and his gym clothes as dish cloths and listened to misogynistic podcasts so loud in the kitchen I could hear it from my room, which was furthest away from the kitchen. He also threatened me. When I mentioned this all to Raleigh Park staff, I was told to either call the police or welfare as they 'couldn't do anything' about the fact that my housemate had just threatened me [I have anxiety so this was a pretty big deal]. Welfare hours listed were wrong and they didn't answer the phone. Was forced to go back to my flat without any help or suggestions on what to do for the 5 hours until Welfare were available. Nothing was done about him, despite three housemates complaining.

Great value for money and the best option for self catered due to close proximity with the city! A great deal less sociable than catered halls on campus.

Raleigh Park is a very good place for student accommodation, The scheme manager, Tony, was very helpful and the staff are really welcoming also they are very transparent with policies and procedures. The site is quite big and they have great social events. I would recommend this place to many students looking for self catering accommodation.

Raleigh park is in Lenton so you will be closer to town and most 2nd and 3rd years live around this part of nottingham to. Most people live on campus so be prepared to make the 20 to 40 minute walk to see your friends in their campus halls. There is a much more chilled vibe in Raleigh than other halls, most people keep themselves within their flats and houses so maybe not for you if your super social (you'll meet far more people in campus halls). However if you want to keep your stuff in your room over semester breaks and want the indepence of selfcatering, Raleigh park might be for you!

Amazing halls. Best choice I made. Wonderful social areas and staff

Good halls and very good value for management but maintenance and cleaners are unreliable.

AMAZING! one of the cheapest accommodation but it is in such good standards! It allows you to save up some money while meeting a lotttt of lovely people! So close to Jubilee Campus and city centre!

Awful response to complaints or any problem faced. Rude receptionist.

Awful resident tutors, awful managements, if you're having trouble not helpful at all. very hostile environment in my flat and I felt like I couldn't use the kitchen at all. No help in resolving. big hierarchy management. students are at the bottom.

I was not impressed with this place since the day I moved in my ensuite for my Postgrad studies. It's quite "old fashioned". The bad: 1) the carpet in the room is horrible 2) very little sound proof. My room was towards the train tracks and I can always hear the trains go by. I can hear everything happening upstairs as well 3) room doors close really loudly (good luck if your flatmate has 9am lessons) 4) difficult as hell to get the right temperature for the shower (either too hot or too cold) 5) really bad internet (wifi). My phone constantly disconnected from the wifi. And good luck playing LoL without an ethernet cable 6) my sink constantly didn't have hot water. The water heater always broke 7) expensive rent for what it was worth 8) poor shower drain 9) minimal space to prep food in the kitchen 10) reception doesn't accept mail The good: 1) spacious room 2) large kitchen with two regular sized fridges 3) fortnight cleaners 4) minimal fire alarm testing

Very bad Accomodation, for the price you pay and what you get it's shocking, plus you need to pay for parking as extra, even though the car park is mostly empty, cleaning is fortnightly and if you live with degenerates who pee everywhere and leave their dishes everywhere, it gets disgusting...

The internet is just plain awful, doesn't work most of the time and even when it does its very slow. The cleaners do an average job, in general seems clean but I question whether areas like door handles and the flush on toilets are ever done (I only mention this because I am pretty sure I can see some sort of bacteria/fungi growing). The overall layout of the room is super basic, the carpet is that horrible blue hard-wearing sandpaper you get and there isnt really enough wardrobe space. They check the fire alarms every so often but dont ever give you prior warning and because it is so sporadic you never really know if its a real alarm or not (the boy who cried wolf comes to mind). Most of the staff are pleasant enough, although one individual who works on reception is always pretty moody and never seems bothered about much. The laundry is heavily overpriced and the machines are not terribly reliable. I have used the driers before and even though they last an hour my laundry was damp.

Far away from everything. Plain. Basic. Practical. No character

Not a bad place to live! Reasonable rent, accommodating staff and the rooms are pretty large for what you pay. A bit dated though.

The staff have been really good to me over the duration of my stay and tge location makes it ideal for students.

So close to town and love that there's so many shops nearby!

its a really good location with lidl just across the road!

Nice place to be - close to uni park (30mins walk) as well as jubilee (10mins)! It is a blessing having the bus stop in front of the building! Plus Lidl, domino, starbucks and more are literally 2mins from you!

The facility are very considerable. Especially when I have trouble to use them ,there will always be someone to help me.

My friend recommended RP for me, now I'm so grateful I choose it .its a very suitable place for me to live and very near to my school.

Love the fact that it is so close to all that I need whether it's going to classes or going shopping

Best value for money and good accomodation for first years

Raleigh Park has been very hospitable to me and my peers. Large kitchens, sofas, consistent wifi and a ball court etc

Great service and awesome communal area

The house is very big and nice, I like the kitchen area and the fact that we have a living room.

Great service and good social area, would recommend this to anyone x

Good and safe place to live! Would definitely recommend Raliegh Park

Great sized rooms, kitchens are good size with sofas for living space as well. Good gocial area.

Great place to live. Lots of friendly people and lots of events to meet new people. Only negative that I can think of is that it's a 15 minute walk from the jubilee campus.

Bets place to live for Uni of Nottingham students!

A nice distance between the university of nottingham and the town, very easy to catch a bus to the city centre and very close to lidl for cheap student shopping

I have really enjoyed staying at raleigh park, I love how close it is to lidl. The only thing I would say is that it is much closer to jubilee campus than the uni park campus.

Raleigh Park is a great place to stay as people are friendly and helpful.

Ideally situated between the city centre and university park, makes going out and going to uni easy

Great experience, great people, great accommodation. The rooms come equipped with everything you need to start uni life. Would recommend.

I'm loving my time at Raleigh park! Everyone is very helpful and friendly

Love living here, lovely atmosphere and good security, staff always on hand to help out with maintainance issues, would definitely recommend to others!

Perfect area and definetly the place to be in first year

The location of Raleigh Park is the best for student studying in Jubilee Campus as it only requires 10mins of walk to campus and 5 mins of walk to Lidl (department stores). Housemates were well allocated and management response quickly to maintenance issues. Cleaner only cleans common area such as toilet and kitchen once every fortnight. If it can be done more frequent, then it will be a plus point!

Raleigh Park is an amazing place to stay when you are a fresher at a university. Because of the large capacity, it's easy to make friends, meet new people and find your feet. The mixture between living with boys and girls also means you can find that special someone a lot quicker. P.S There is a hidden rivalry with St Peters Court so make sure your not fraternising with the enemy or we will find you!

Great place to live in and also reasonably priced. Really good location too as it's really close to jubilee and not too far from the city. There's also almost everything you need around.

Raleight park has one of the best values for money

Ralegih park is reasonably priced and located at convinient area, just all you need

Nice to live, lots of freedom and not very far to everything you need.

Location is very nice, only issue is wifi is very spotty

It's been decent. Everything has been decent. Area has been decent. Decent.

Very good and clean halls. Also pretty good for older students

I love my block, and I am having a great time at Raleigh park

Nice hall in a good location, met great people here.

I'm really enjoying living at Raleigh park so far! The rooms and kitchen spaces are some of the nicest I've seen and there are regular socials events to go to!

Very good value for money and in good location

Good price for the accomodation, good size kitchen with a dining table and sofas. Rooms are a decent size with a bookshelf, table, bed and wardrobe included. Perfect location for people studying at jubilee campus, 2mins away from food stores like subway and greggs and bus stop to the main city are just outside the accomodation. Lidl 2mins away as well. Repairs are dealt with smoothly if you have any in your flat. Cleaner doesn't clean bedroom

They take much time in responding to problems like maintenance.

The location is great, you can get everything nearby and it's less than 10minutes walk to jubilee campus.

Had one of my best years here and the staff were very helpful and the spacing of the rooms was sufficient. Good value for money

There is a grocery store, food options, and bus stops to the city centre and campus right across the street. The flats are equipped with everything you need to live comfortably!

Rooms are very spacious and the beds are so comfy! Kitchens are really functional and there is plenty of storage space (fridge, freezer and cupboards). Only issue is the cleaners come very early, are very loud and don't do a very good job (I often see them sitting on the sofa with their feet up!!) other than that it is a great place to stay

Out of all the student accommodation I looked round, I think Raleigh park was one of the best simply because each flat has a decent sized living area compared to lots which just had a kitchen with no sofas. Opposite Lidl which is really handy and about a 25 minute walk to the uni

Nice place to stay, would recommend it to friends

I am living in the farthings now.It is very close to Jubilee campus of university of nottingham.The repairman is very kind and effective.Good choice!

Such a nice place to live in....very quiet which is a plus for a PhD student like me....a clean common kitchen and a very spacious bedroom...close to city centre and univesirty as well

Its worth staying in Rayleigh Park!

Such a nice place to live in...very quiet spacious room, clean kitchen with lots of facilities, close to uni and city centre and gym also...worth it really

A very nice place to live in...close to univ and city centre...It's very quiet so I sometimes stay home and read as am a postgraduate so that's helpful...friendly flatmates and spacious rooms...worth it

Raleigh Park is great value student accommodation with easy access to the uni and close to town. Staff are lovely and friendly however are slow with sorting out maintainance repairs. Overall really good place to live!

The location and the area is really nice, with a lidl right outside which is so convenient

Raleigh park is great for students, it is clean and modern and has all the adequate needs. Very large kitchens and bedrooms and very good value for money.

It's been a really good experience and it really helped me making friends! It's a good way to socialise with people, and the transport links are great!

So far; Residing at Raleigh park has been a good experience. As a student of University of Nottingham, it's conveniently placed for me to attend my lectures and back. My room and bathroom are in good shape. Thank you.

Its a nice and peaceful environment. I got good flat mates so very good. The facilitator are clean too.

The location is nice. It is close to the city center and the Jubilee campus. Rent is a bit on the high side. Staff is friendly.

Great accomadation! Perfect location for amenities! Friendly staff and cleaners

Location is fab for my course (QMC). Friendly staff who are always here to help. Security is great.

The location is perfect for my course, friendly staff, very homely place.

A certainly greatful living experience in Raleigh Park with 3 nice roommates

I have lived here for two years now I have felt very safe and secure. Wifi is fast and location is great for nursing students!

Based closely to both University of Nottingham and Nottingham town centre, Raleigh Park offers safe, comfortable and effortless accommodation option for students.

Everything broke, holes in the wall

An overall alright experience, did not spend much time within my accommodation due to my course structure. I however thoroughly had a decent stay, nothing special but then again you get what you pay for. Laundry service was a decent price, proximity to Nottingham Uni campuses was quite close although it varies from campus to campus. Raleigh park is very close to the city centre which was a bonus. Social engagement activities are limited but then again I never attended to many of them.

Always something going on, super relaxed security guards, not the nicest interiors, a bit flimsy and the cleaners are very loud in the mornings, but socially its awesome

Not bad, bit of a trek from uni park but the kitchen has a nice layout and the addition of sofas makes it much more sociable within the flat, would recommend to others

Yeah it's pretty good. Came back for final year.

Had a fun experience so far, facilities have got better over the year, We have an outside gym now, common room is good only down side is laundry but who cares?!

Internet often poor, largely good accommodation especially for the cost.

Great accommodation but slow to fix any problems such as broken oven and light in toilet. Closer to city which is handy but good 20 minute walk.

Between the terrible wifi and the almost constant drunk shrieking outside, it's a bit s*** really. But I guess the Lidl across the road and the treasure that is White Horse Cafe almost make up for it. Almost.
