Most helpful review

I had a fantastic experience living at Walker street, sanctuary students, for a year as an international student from India. The staff was incredibly supportive and always ready to help. The facilities were top-notch, including high-speed internet, a communal kitchen, and cozy lounges. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transport and nearby grocery stores. I appreciated the 24/7 security, which made me feel safe throughout my stay. The cultural diversity among residents made it a welcoming community. Highly recommend it for a safe and enriching stay!

I’ve loved staying here! It’s such good value for money and problems were quickly dealt with. They got repairs out as soon as possible and if any questions were asked they would help out! I recommend sanctuary students as the location is also great, it’s right hear the centre and near the university so that was convenient too

It's good value for money, but if you want social things, go to the sister Hall down the road (Moor lane), which is where all the social things are held.

This is the best accommodation I have ever had since coming to the UK. I had to rebook it again for a second year, and if I proceed with postgraduate studies, I will definitely choose it again. The rooms are spacious and look great, the staff are helpful, and the residents are lovely. Students around love Sanctuary residences.

Very good place, very cheap for really good room with double bed and en suite which would usually be a lot more expensive, location is very good, right next to university and shops and also close to preston bus station, not very social as mostly older students who have established friend groups already and no social spaces

I stayed in walker street, block C. It was great atmosphere peace and calm in my room. Great infrastructure inside rooms and well organised kitchen and having private bathroom for each individual. All facilities to a single person was provided. Always water and electricity and strong WiFi connection throughout my stay. Kitchen items are well equipped and entertainment for TV. For better price and ensuite strongly recommend this accommodation.

The accommodation is very close to the town centre and no more than 5 minutes from all university buildings. The staff are very friendly and are great at dealing with any queries/issues. The actual flats are good value for the price and are a great space for students. The laundry room in the building is easy to access, although you do have to go outside to enter the centre block if you’re not already in there. To collect deliveries you have to go to the office on Moor Lane (~5 minute walk), but other than that everything else is convenient and well worth the money.

Great space for the price with everything you'll need. Smoking area could be better, it's small and don't really see many people out there so difficult to meet people other than your flat mates.

This was the perfect accommodation for me. When I moved in it was my first year and straight away I was able to feel comfortable. The room size, bed size and bathroom are all amazing, even at a good price. I’ve already booked a room again for next year, can’t wait to be back.

A great place to live ,staff are all really friendly. Extremely close to campus ,probably less than a 5 minute walk to most lecture halls which is very convenient and also very well priced for what you get in your room.
