This is the worst place to live as a student. The lift here is broken down many times and they take an average of a month to 2 months to fix it. And if you end up on higher floors thats very inconvenient. The location is close to majority of the campus buildings which is great but the crowd at park bar is ridiculously loud and it does get frustrating at times to listen to hooligans shouting about past midnight. To be honest if i had known these issues i would not have lived here. The university offers “quieter” accommodations but from what ive heard from people staying there thats all just namesake. The whole place is a mess in terms of crowd conduct and etiquette.
Park bar catered food is terrible and walls are too thin and noisy
Windsor hall has a common stereotype: It is for people who can not cook or people with problems
Needs decorating and better facilities. However, based conveniently on campus and a great social like. Awful food
Alright, amazing value and perfect location and food but no good social spaces
No communal space but other than that good
No social space for intimate chilled out Flat parties etc.
Very social and the best halls on campus! Only downside is there's no common room so we resort to the corridors!
The best social life on campus
good hall. very close to centre of campus. social hall. as it is catered you go to the restaurant to get food downstairs which is very convenient. food is often repeated though but is nice.
A great hall with lots of people in one flat so you have many people to socialise with. Bar, washing, post and food outlets outside the front door which are very handy.
Unmissable social experience with maximum friends to meet. if you can put up with with the little rooms, average catered food and no real place to sit down other than the floor or beds in the flats then it is the best halls in reading to make lifetime friends.
Windsor is the best hall in the world, ever! Linh Nguyen, Windsor Hall Fresher's King (2015)
Only bad thing is no communal spaces, however this forces you to be social! Great value for money as food is included. Room sizes are good as well.
It is a great social hall that is well kept. There are several bathrooms in each flat and the large groups in each flat makes it more sociable. The kitchens however could be slightly larger as a more social space for a flat of 26 or 14
Brilliant hall, most social at Reading Uni, I loved first year
Perfect location, getting a bit run down
The catering package is pretty bad and definitely not worth the money but is definitely best hall on campus, right next to park bar where you meet loads of people, especially older years and closest to lectures. Big flats mean you are bound to get on with someone in your flat!
great place but no communal space at all.
Very basic but by the most sociable and fun halls. Also in the best location, on campus and right next to park bar.
Looks bad, has no common room, but location is great, and the people in the halls make it
Best social hall, great location!
Prime location - relatively cheap for reading ! However social space is non existent and the food is appalling. Would recommend if you cannot afford the more expensive halls at Reading.
Worst halls of residence at the uni. Not a 'budget' option as the catering allowance doesn't cover 3 meals a day.
Horrible halls, infested with silver fish and really really old. Definitely not worth the money especially as there's no social space not even a table
Only downside is the thin walls.
Concrete zoo, except the animals are free to flip between cages and tangle.
