I’ve been here six months and already rebooked. This is due to the social aspect of the halls combined with the friendly staff that run it. I would highly recommend to any new fresher students.

An excellent and safe location with a large range of amenities and close to key facilities.
I’ve lived here since September and have had issues with my shower drain and toilet smelling. I have reported this a number of times to be told they have exhausted all options and believe it may be stagnant water. However, this isn’t resolving the issue. I have also been asked to clean the toilet. Not sure how many times it needs to be cleaned as this is an everyday issue. It is not pleasant staying in a room with a foul smell being emitted from both the toilet and shower drain. The shower drain was also not blocked when I moved in and yet was still smelling. They have suggested a room change. However, I have respectful and mature flat mates who are very considerate (they’re not noisy at night, don’t hold house parties and are never drunk) I don’t have the time to be moving my things about. This issue clearly needs looking into by a qualified plumber.

Great place to live in for the last two years. Everything is great and the staff are really easy to get along with. I've enjoyed living here as it's in a great part of the city, and the fact that the building is quite well-maintained. The maintenance is quick and easy and I've rarely ever had problems with it. Additionally, the staff are nice and friendly, making this experience a great one overall. It's a shame I'm no longer a student because I'd have liked to stay here for a little longer - the convenience is excellent. Big fan of the place and I highly recommend it over other accommodations in Preston.
I’ve lived here since September and plan to live here again next year. The staff are so lovely and always go above and out of their way to make sure we feel welcomed through doing things such as chocolate foundations, pizza and Prosecco days and pancakes recently on pancake Tuesday. The rooms are very nice and good quality for money. If anything is ever broken it’s fixed as soon as we let them know. Would highly recommend as both staff and students are so nice and it’s a good environment to meet loads of new people
if you want a top student life with the best nights out and socials BOOK HERE
best student accom in preston FACT!!!!!!!!!!!
great place to stay, feels like a home from home
The rooms are great value for money and the social areas are very modern - the staff are so helpful and friendly and i have met friends for life here. Cant wait to rebook my room for another year!! x
Met some amazing people here and the staff are 10/10! They put on the best events for us to get us socialising.
I will be leaving and looking for alternative student housing., 1) Its to noisy keep your windows closed! 2. If you like Amsterdam older women and clubs then please do come here.! 3. It's too expensive !! 4..The wireless internet is unusable !! Just please don't come here ! !
Hello, This review is quite hard to reply to as parts of it had our staff quite confused. In order to reply properly, i will address each point in turn. 1) Since our building is right in the middle of both the University and the city centre, you will find that it will not always be silent here on site. This is student accommodation and we have a 'quiet period' set out in all residents tenancy agreement between the hours of 11pm - 7am. If this is not adhered to, we always ask students to call our 24hr staff mobile on 07514625406 and we will see to it straight away. Anything outside the buidling such as the current road works that are manned by UCLAN are unfortunely out of our control although we can absolutely see the annoyance, the council have told us that the works outside the buidling are due to end in February and they respect our wishes to only start works after 8am. 2) Our staff were really stumped on this one. We have excellent and unique social events that all our students (and students from different accommodations!) rave about and look forward to but Amsterdam older women and clubs had us confused! Again, please do call our security number above for any noise/antisocial complaints. 3) As we are a luxury accommodation and have lots of unique selling points that alot of our competitors cannot beat such as legendary social events, amazing social spaces, an onsite gym, 24hr staffing, right in the centre of the University and city, modern flat lay out and landscaped gardens, our prices are well justified. The rising cost of utilities are also a huge contributor on this. We always suggest taking advantage of our great 'rebooking' or 'refer a friend' offers on our website. 4) Our internet is supplied by a company called GLIDE which have a 24 hr customer help line. if you are facing any wifi issues, please do call them and they can diagnose your device remotely. They also have a call our service if your issue can not be fixed remotely. Alternatively, our gaming crazed students find that using the ethernet ports in their rooms a much better internet experience. I do hope this has answered your concerns but if you do want to discuss this directly, please email us at thetramshed@prestigestudentliving.com. Kind regards, Tramshed Management.
Disgusting. My shower has been leaking a foul brown substance ever since I moved in in September. I made two complaints, one in September and one in November, only to be told that there was actually no maintenance person currently employed by The Tramshed, and since my shower has still not been fixed, I assume that they still haven’t managed to find one now nearing the end of January. Not sure how legal this practice is. I’m lucky i have family that live close by the university as the few times I’ve actually used my room at the Tramshed and used the shower there I have become very sick. This place needs shutting down and having the local health and safety people look into it. And the staff just feel sorry for themselves when you email, telling you “we’re all trying our best”. For the price I’m paying for my room your best is not enough and your severe lack of hygienic practices is making me physically ill. Couldn’t be worse.
Hello, Our deepest apologies this hasnt yet been seen to. We have had a short period of having no maintnenace person employed here at The Tramshed which you will find happens in any business. Our aim to find the best fit for the miantnenace job has made it hard with applicants. If there is a lack of candiaites applying for the job, it is somewhat out of our control, we can only advertise rigorously on all major platforms. We have also had Christmas period in between this. We do now have a maintenance person which has been here since December, this has been emailed out to all tenants to keep you updated. The way we carry out jobs here is to ask the student to log their issue on our 'MainManager' app so that we can keep you up to date with the status of your job. On checking our logs, i cant see anything for a brown substance in a shower. If you could contact us directly at thetramshed@prestigestudentliving.com i can get someone up today for you. I'm sorry you havent found our staff to be doing enough for you, as mentioned above, if you could email us over your room, i will send our maintnenace up today. Kind regards, Tramshed Management.

Hi! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so glad you have enjoyed living with us :)
The Tramshed is a fantastic place for all students to live. It’s in an ideal location, right in the heart of campus. There are regular social events organised by the management team and a brilliant common room ideal for socialising. The staff are really friendly and happy to help. The flats are extremely modern, and really well priced for the location and facilities provided. Living here has made my uni experience all the more enjoyable, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

I have enjoyed living at the tramshed and have looked at staying here for the whole of my uni experience since I haven’t had any problems with the place and it is worth the rent!
Hi! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so glad you have enjoyed living with us :)
I want to say nice things because it's not awful accommodation but I'd rather be honest. It's nice here if you're genuinely not picky and want to be somewhere a bit nicer than normal halls: - Internet is really bad - Gym is super tiny, can't fit more than like 2 people - Laundry machines are always broken. They've broken so many times and left us with either washed clothes or clothes stuck in the machines, and they've flooded before too - Website says "lockable bedroom" but staff just let themselves in using a master key and multiple times, they've let themselves into our flat without prior permission, kind of uncomfortable/invasive/weird?? - Huge management problem, - No parking Staff try their best and I know it's been hard with Covid-19. The location IS great; it needs so much work, definitely not "luxury" living or 5 stars and I've been here 2 years
Hi hollywritesreviews, The Tramshed staff we’re extremely upset reading this review. We have looked in to your review and have found this to be a little unfair given your complaints you have presented to staff at reception and how we went above and beyond to resolve your issues within your flat. Some staff went as far as resolving your issues outside of their working hours. To respond to your review properly, I will address each point in turn. The internet here is of very high quality and we pride ourselves in having over 200MBPs which is higher than our competition. Our provider, Glide, have a 24 hour line to help you with any issues you have with your internet on your devices and can remotely diagnose and help you should you wish. The gym is designed for one flat at a time to use, we have state of the art equipment which again, is better than our competition. We have a treadmill, cross trainer, running machine, multi-pulley machine, over 20 different free weights and a bench press. This would somewhat challenge the 2 person at a time review. The laundry machines are owned by Circuit laundry, the biggest student accommodation provider in the UK. They are serviced monthly and don’t seem to have had any issues this academic year – could you please contact us to provide more details? The machines are off for a short period of 15 minutes every month whilst they are being tested. Regarding accessing your room, we send emails to give 24 hours notice every time we need to enter a room to complete health and safety checks or maintenance jobs. We pride ourselves in our high level of safety on site and therefore must complete checks on rooms time to time. All access notifications go to your email address provided on booking, please make sure you check your junk mail. We assure you that we would not access without notifying first. Please could you contact site to provide further evidence for the above claim? We unfortunately cannot do much in regards to parking, not many student accommodations in Preston provide parking due to the city being so built up. We do suggest the car park next door to us which can be found on google maps under ‘St.Mary’s car park’. They do provide monthly passes. We assume that when students rebook with us, they are happy with our service and facilities. We note that you have stayed with us for 2 years as mentioned above. Thank you for noting that our staff are absolutely trying our best during these extremely challenging times. We have been present on site all the way through the pandemic whilst going back to our families at home after work. This review really has come as a shock as we have tried our upmost this year to keep our students happy since we know this has been an awful year to be at university. Again, please do contact us to discuss this further. We have found you to be a great student here and the staff remember you as a regular friendly face. We would be really hurt to see you leave on a bad note.
Generally it is good, but there was some weird smell when I came to my room at induction day.
