Peverell Reviews

Very sociable and a good community feeling. Common room could have more to it rather than just table and chairs. Bathrooms are very basic, don’t feel clean enough need refurbishing really

Thank you for your feedback.  We really appreciate your comments, and I can assure you they will be taken on board.

 

We have recently refurbished several flats in our hall and as per our plan the further areas will be renovated so they look fresher. This includes our bathrooms that are currently being looked at to find the best way they can be modernised.

 

Our common rooms have been also renovated last summer and the concept was they can serve both as study areas and social spaces hence internet ports and sockets installed at every table. We fitted brand new TV with sound system that can be used for gaming/movies night. The room includes vending machines for refreshment. All as recommended by previous residents.

 

I would really appreciate if you could contact us with more specific suggestions on what else can be added.

I had planned to stay in new hall but booked too late however I am glad of this. The only real difference between new hall and pev is that they have bigger kitchens with sofas and are a bit more modern but also end up with more flatmates and an overpriced rent. I absolutely loved my time at pev. Maintenance were lovely and were always quick to the flat if we ever had any issues and would try to resolve it. Big up Jim! We also had a cleaner, Joe, once a week who was brilliant and lovely. The bedrooms are fairly small but the space is made the most of with lots of storage. The mattress was also more comfortable than my bed at home. I did have some issues with the shower but that was just because you needed to clean underneath the plug of any hair and product. The common room would hold events such as games nights or quizzes. I never had any issues with the wifi and it was always fast. The only real issue I had was the walk to the shop but you could order food or find a friend with a car.

Waited til I moved out before making any unfair review. It was still EXTREMELY TERRIBLE. In fact it has scared me into booking average accommodations in Nottingham that look like this. The room size was extremely small, closet space is VERY small (so ladies this is not for you), MAIN PROBLEM is that my bathroom kept MALFUNCTIONING. I have had 2 major leaks from the sink and the toilet at the same time as the light also breaking. Then it happened again, a leak from a toilet. Maintenance (apart from the guy who fixed my first leak) was TERRIBLE. They seem to hire incompetent people or ones not fit for the right job, which is plumbing. The second job was left with screws undone, and the back open. When asked to put it back in, they used different screws and secured it halfway at a 45 degree angle (I actually have proof). Toilet was still leaking. Management was okay as they realised the problem. For what this place did to me, it was NOT worth my £135 a week.

Thé ensuit is absolutely disgraceful, literally floods everytime you shower because it is so small. Honestly puts you off showering sometimes.

Went with Peverell as it was slightly cheaper than the other Clifton accommodation choice (but was still really expensive!). The rooms are small but manageable. The bathrooms aren't the worse in the world either. There is usually always something happening in the courts, making it sometimes rather noisy but this wasn't too much of an issue. The flat being cleaned once a week was a good bonus. Wifi was also pretty good and you could connect multiple devices to it with little to no issues. The location is probably the best part- minutes away from anywhere on site (including the bus stop). Overall, I don't regret staying at Peverell as it was an awesome year, and despite how expensive it was, was a great choice.

I have a mixed review for my accommodation. Our flat was clean theoughout the year and the kitchen facilities are good. However, the room size is not upto my expectation. The major problem for me living in Peverell was the noise pollution. Throughout the year a bunch of students had party every single evening which lasted upto 3:00AM in the morning. This was really disturbing specially during the sleeping hours. The reception warned them about the level of noise pollution but only during the exam period when they should have done that earlier.

A great value for money option, not the biggest room but all facilities that could be asked for, our oven broke one day and was fixed the next, excellent all round.

No one really uses the common room, and everyone stopped doing halls activities and nights out after freshers week

It could do with some modernisation but overall is pretty good and tidy, the one big thing I noticed is the internet speed is amazing

Not in halls rn and never have been so idk

Very good halls and most people liked the flatmates they were placed with. Maintenance are great if any problems occur.

Poverty but you’ll have the time of your life

Great halls and a great location, the common rooms are amazing for having a get together and the Internet is industrial grade. However it's very expensive compared to living in private halls and their aren't enough washing machines to go round.

In my opinion, it is too expensive for what it offers but the location is very good as you are on campus and everything is near you.

Was a very good introduction in my first year and great place to live on campus

Office staff so helpful and lovely! They cannot do enough for you. Common rooms are just big empty spaces with nothing in them and the rooms are a bit small

I would definitely not recommend Peverell for your student accommodation! I am staying here for my first year of university and so far EVERYTHING has broken... oven, iron, extractor fan, heating, electricity, plumbing and the internet just about works. I spent the first four months with my room reeking of drains. After three months of maintenance flushing my bathroom with bleach (subsequently making my room smell of drains and bleach) the UPP team decided to fix it. Even now it still smells. On the open day I was not informed that only a selected few flats would have their kitchen renovated even though we pay the same amount for a smaller kitchen. When I say smaller I mean perfect size for a hobbit. Even then the fridge blocks the ONLY window. However if you like the constant feeling of claustrophobia and isolation the rooms are perfect, about three metres long and two metres wide its perfect for wild nights in and mental breakdowns.

Very social halls. Always something happening

Really shabby and grotty, the value for money is really poor

A lot of damp in my room, too expensive for what it was worth. Good location if on Clifton Campus but if not then very out oft the way.

For the cheapest on Clifton, it isn't awful. The showers are a bit of a joke and the kitchens aren't great but you're 1 minute from anything on Clifton, including the point (The SU). It's liveable just try and make mates at New Hall so you can hang in their kitchens.

There's a reason it's called Poverty Peverell, near enough everyone there is paying the same overpriced amount for a s*** flat with rooms that are small anyway but some people have bigger rooms than others, for example one of our flat's rooms was 30% wider than another.

Peverell is fine if you want to be confined in your room with little space to socialise. The common room is dead and unused. Can easily become depressed whilst living here. £120 a week is too expensive for what you receive, although new hall is £20 more expensive, it is probably worth the extra money. One only benefit of living here is the convenience of it being on campus and close to everything

Massively massively overpriced, I feel so ripped off. Internet in my room was good and the cleaners did a good job but it's just such a depressing place to live. Always smells, smokers everywhere, old fashioned, horrible small rooms, flooding bathroom, everything broke when I so much as touched it. I could just get through it if the price was reasonable but it's disgustingly expensive just to add insult to injury. Please, please do not live here. The only perk is the social aspect and since I found my entire flat, block and 90% of Peverell annoying this was a massive downside for me.

Not worth the money I paid for it.

Quite dark halls and can seem quite lonely. Not the best location for city nightlife, I would have preferred a halls in the city centre.

Far away from the city, not the best location for if you're going out and have to get a taxi back. Quite dark halls and can become a bit lonely. Also sound echos at night from outside and in.

Good location on campus but very small in comparison to how much we are charged

Brilliant location and the cleaning/maintainence staff are amazing, however it's a very small basic hall, value for money soley lies on location and staff,

The rent is definitely not worth it; if you're looking for a place to stay on campus then it is the cheapest, but it's only really good for that. The shops are at least a 10/20 minute walk away, the rooms are pretty cold, you can hear everything that goes on in the kitchen (sucks when you're trying to sleep). Studentcom internet is terrible.

Kitchen is small, with a massive table, in all flats, which means that it's hard to fit everyone in there and cook at the same time. When you have a shower the bathroom 'floods' as there is no barrier between the shower and the toilet space. It is comfortable though and great for socialising, but definitely not worth the money. If it was about £1000 cheaper it would be better value for money.

Loved peverell, great for Clifton campus students!

Loved peverell, perfect for Clifton campus students

I lived in halls for my first year and absolutely loved it! It was the best experience ever and I will never forget it..

Bit overpriced and a bit of a s****** but everyone you speak to wont change it due to the atmosphere it has going

Rubbish halls, dirty and cleaners did nothing, wifi never worked, my flat smelt as soon as i moved in, hardly anything worked, good for social tho

Overpriced, for a poor standard of room. Had to have pest control in second week of living in there due to mice in the walls.

great place, little bit expensive but it's close to Uni and that has been invaluable on several occasions. Staff here are incredibly friendly, the cleaners can be a bit lazy though.

Cleaners don't do any cleaning. Office staff like to moan and threaten to fine over trivial things, tge security guards are always up fot banter. But you probably get that anywhere. The people have made this place incredible and I would only change the absurd cost.. And some of the staff

The halls themselves were falling apart to some degree though other in the block had been renovated.The most postive thing about the experience was the location,being on campus meant I was ready for lectures but also being a newbie to nottingham it allowed to venture into the city center when I needed and find my own way round without the hassle of living in city straight away. The matinence and overall management if the halls was ok I feel like they do botch jobs and try to make money out of you by charging too much for broken things. This with the amount we pay I feel there should be more leniency and flexibility avaliable. For example washing machines should be cheaper expect to always have to change up money as it £2 for a wash and £1 for drying wich is necessary as there's no place to hang your clothes and your not meant to have a drying rack thougheveryone does.

best social life and the rest is s***! But it's worth it for the social qualities

if I lived in s*** halls but the people I lived better the year so it didn't affect us having a class time!

Peverell is so social and fun, you will make the best friends and know so many people. But, management are horrible and will charge you for just breathing in their halls, the rooms are tiny and the kitchens are old, which I wouldn't mind, except they charge you for it as if you are living in the ritz! It's great for first year because you're on campus and you make so many friends, I wouldn't change it for anything, but it's ridiculous how much they charge
