I think the accommodation is good value for money: Decent sized room and especially bathroom, as well as having the decking outside and spacious kitchen. Location is perfect for me between Nottingham Uni and town; And good for NTU students aswell. I think there could be a few social events, especially near the start of the year, across all stacks to get to meet other ones, as I thought we’d all be more integrated (hopefully that’s not just our stack who hasn’t mixed lol). I’m happy with how management have responded to problems and appreciate that there are many other stacks and so some issues aren’t the highest priority, which I feel some other flatmates could’ve considered more. Thanks to Linda (?) for cleaning the place; It’s a shame that 12 adults seemingly can’t look after their own place however. All in all, I’ve had a really good time here and would stay again if I was in first or 2nd year.
Overall an average accommodation. Rooms are nice but not very big. View is gorgeous but gets old. Could do with more insulation because you can hear everything!
The location is convenient, with a short 10-minute walk to the tram stop and around 20 minutes to the city center, which is perfect for Uni of Nottingham students like myself.
Additionally, being within a 5-7 minute walk to a retail park with various shops like McDonald's, Sainsbury's, B&M, Lidl, and Pure Gym adds to the convenience.
However, there are a couple of areas that could see improvement. While the maintenance team is usually responsive, there have been instances where the wait times for repairs stretched longer than desirable.
Security is another area of concern. The fact that individuals from other stacks can access our flat through the kitchen door if left unlocked is not reliable. Additionally, the absence of a reception area means parcels are left unattended and getting stolen sometimes .
Despite these drawbacks, the staff have been helpful, making it an overall good experience.
Fantastic location right on the canal. Back decking connecting all the stacks makes it so social where you meet a lot of people. Management and maintenance are great and always respond to any issues quickly. Top place to live during your studies.
The rooms are bigger that I though they would be and for such a good and cheap price. It’s an amazing place to stay with friend or by your self as meeting new people won’t be a problem here as everyone is so sociable

If I could give a rating of 0 for property management I would, with it sometimes taking months to get a response. Many rooms were filthy and appliances broken from move in day, checks were not done. Many isolating tenants went 1 week + without hot water and heating, with refusals for these emergency repairs to be sorted until isolation was finished. If you want to spend all of your time sending emails and getting ignored then this is the accommodation for you. There is a roof terrace, but the website's advertisement is misleading as it does not state that Stacks 1-3 have no access. A 10pm curfew was enforced on the tenants. It took a rent strike for the landlord to even consider reducing our rent even though lockdown measures prevented us from returning. They waited until the last day before we could receive arrears to send us an agreement we had to sign that waived our right to receive further refunds. We had to sign in order to get the reduction that was not even clearly stated.
As a student who has lived at Graystacks for the entirety of my time at uni, I can honestly say that it's an amazing place to live. One of the best things about living here is because it is located right next to a canal so you are surrounded by water, nature and natural light which makes it so peaceful. Especially because you can enjoy sitting on the back decking or roof terrace with your friends and enjoy the view. Another great thing about Graystacks is the distance from the university campuses. The location made it super convenient and meant I didn't have to pay for a bus pass/uber to get to uni. I also had friends that studied at Uni of Nottingham who were not too far away from their campus'. A walk into the city centre takes around 10-15 minutes which was nice as although Graystacks is still very central, you don't get the noise and business from the city centre. I would highly recommend anyone to live here!
Lack of management and poor communication time with staff. Issues arise every few days with the rooms and takes forever to get them sorted. Landlord reluctant to take covid seriously and act accordingly. Not very professional.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're pleased to hear your positive feedback! We agree that Graystacks is perfectly located. We're between both of Nottingham's Universities and only a short walk to the city centre making it a great choice for students.

Had the best 3 years living at Graystacks. Beautiful location right next to Nottingham canal, close to the city centre and both universities. If you’re a sociable person you’ll love it here, with opportunities to make friends with your 11 flatmates or people in the other 13 stacks, so you don’t have to worry about not making friends! The back decking area exposes stunning views of the canal and the rooftop terrace is wonderful during the spring and summer months, also a VERY unique feature for student accom!
Roisin Connolly (site manager) looks after the building incredibly well, always going out of her way to ensure that every student is happy within the accommodation. The Resident Co-ordinators are also handy for giving a helping hand to tenants during the evenings and weekends. Maintenance staff and cleaners are also very friendly and helpful.
100% recommend living here, it’s a student experience that is unlike any other, it definitely beats regular halls of residence!
Thanks for your detailed review. We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience here at Graystacks. Inparticular thank you for your kind words regarding the on site team. Your positive comments will be passed on.

I had a great experience living at Graystacks! Ideal place if you're the type that likes to socialise.
Thank you, we love to know our students enjoyed their experience living with us. Graystacks is a great place to live with existing friends or a place to make new friends! This year has been a little different on the social front but it's great to see so many of our students choosing to live with us again in the next academic year.

Great location for both UoN/QMC and the city centre. Good value for money and lots of social spaces!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The roof terrace is one of the great social spaces for Graystacks students to enjoy, perfect for that summer drink or for wrapping up in blankets and watching the city firework display.
