Great community feel here. Compared to some other halls it's not that big so its quiet. Really big studios with loads of storage, a great roof terrace and there's room on the ground floor that you can use to play pool, watch netflix or study. Common areas kept clean and any maintenance issues dealt with quickly by on site manager.
Thank you so much for taking the time to add your review. We are so pleased that you have enjoyed our facilities here and the community atmosphere that we have worked hard to build. You have been very much a part of that so thank you!
Having lived here for two years now, Marc (the old manager) was the reason I stayed, he made it so friendly and created such a positive vibe in the building. Unfortunately I can see it already going down hill under new management, thankfully the rooms make up for this with the amount of space and storage - 100% recommend for the room, not so much the rest.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, your feedback really helps us! We are so happy to hear that you have had a pleasant experience! We would welcome you to come and chat to us at reception so that we can understand your concerns for the future. We have every intention of keeping up the high standards for the next academic year and your feedback will help us to do that.
If it wasn't for me being lazy and not wanting to walk up a short hill everyday, and lack of parking facilities I'd stay here for my entire university life. The wifi can be intermittent but LAN cable works wonders. The accommodation is very spacious and lots of facilities in the room. The roof is amazing for party's or star gazing. The social room is mostly always bubbly, but people are respectful if anyone is in there studying. You cannot hear any of your neighbours through the walls no matter how loud they sound when you walk in the hallway! The Facebook chat is so supportive too. Marc has been absolutely outstanding. This place had really been turned around. Nothing is too big or small. If you have a fault they will fix/replace it immediately. I'm going to miss this place!

I’ve had no real issues living here and any small problems were solved quickly (i.e., broken light, no hot water). The rooms are so so spacious and light with a huge desk area and loads of storage/shelves. The walk to uni is mostly up hill which isn’t ideal for early lectures or rainy days but there’s a bus stop just over the road if you’re feeling lazy! My room is on the back of the building and despite the railway being close it’s never been an issue… can barely hear it with the windows closed. If I wasn’t in my final year I’d definitely be booking again! :)

A clean(in the common areas), quiet and safe apartment building with a large variety of property options and some good lease options (short or with summer). Staff are friendly and there are some events with seasonal decor in common areas. Trasnsport links are good and the in-building facilities are adequate. There’s a nice quality bike store and gym but poor washers and dryers. WiFi was usually okay but so slow at peak times you can’t so much as check your email. Issues lie with previous management (now replaced) preventing/ignoring maintainece concerns and contractor advice. No new build should have private areas/rented rooms so mould and hole ridden or so filthy upon move in. Problem solving is completed either quickly if you nag or at a backwards snail pace if you leave it. Thankfully, the maintenance crew themselves are efficient and nice. Conc: worth it for a year for space&quiet as I had the confidence to tackle management. Wouldn’t return with price and value differen

Not uncommon for water to be turned off completely and for leaks to occur. Today there has been no water for hours - with no email from the manager regarding what is going on
So amazing ! Love the amazing atmosphere, brilliant common area, great value for money, wouldn't want to be anywhere else 🥰

Spacious rooms with lots of storage available (shelves, cupboards and under bed). As the rooms are white, you can bring any colour to your room and it will match. 15 min walk to the Uni so good for getting your steps up. If you do not fancy taking a walk, there are bus stops right by the building that can take you to the top of Mutley/into the town centre so convenient. Close to a Tesco and Aldi, as well as plenty of other shops/pubs/etc along Mutley Plain. Management is friendly and quick to deal with any issues you have. I have had no issues whatsoever. Social spaces are available for you to chill with others (roof terrace and common area). Kept clean and tidy and fairly spacious with seating. Despite having your own studio/space, the opportunity is there to socialise with others and make friends. Internet is relatively good, only had a couple issues but the provider is usually quick to act.

I’ve really enjoyed my first year here, all my issues were fixed promptly when asked and it’s been super independent. Definitely the best value for money in plymouth!

Loved my stay at St Augustine’s, a little far to walk to the uni (There’s a shortcut that isn’t up a hill thankfully, but in the really hot summers and days with more rubbish weather it’s not brilliant) but is within very close access to Aldi, Sainsbury’s and lots of other shops like Boots (which is also a pharmacy), Superdrug etc around a ten minute walk so no need to travel all the way into town/Drake’s Circus. Accommodation itself is nice for the price you pay, usual problems of student accommodation with water/things in the room breaking, but all have been sorted incredibly quickly, and the majority of rooms are clean and free from damp/mould. Showers are pretty good for student accommodation, and whilst the kitchen is lacking an oven, it’s incredibly spacious despite its small size Overall, the best thing has got to be the insane amount of storage space in the rooms, I never felt stuck for space, the only place lacking space is the wardrobe, but plenty drawer space

Room is fantastic, almost never have the need to leave it which makes booking for a third year all that more easy Love love love the care and attention to not only fine detail but also that we get the best and make the most of our stay and feel welcome. Welcome in the sense that whatever we may need or care to ask or enquire about, the manager makes sure to deliver and is always attending to a multitude of issues. However he makes it all so effortless by ensuring everything is a priority.
Thank you very much for your glowing review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your time at St. Augustine's House, so much so that you have rebooked for the third year!

Keep getting rid of the good staff and bringing in worse! Really awful atmosphere, makes you feel like you are back at school. Issues take ages to fix as manager focuses on things that are irrelevant. Rooms are nice but unless you plan to stay locked away or arent too fuseed about the leaks or issues, i would strongly recommend you book elseqhere and save yourself some money.
