Bramall Court Reviews

Not the most expensive but not the prettiest either

DO NOT MOVE IN HERE. I have only given one star because you cant give less. The rooms are massively overpriced and well below par. The internet is horrific. The paint was peeling off the walls. The staff are far from helpful. The fire alarm was set of constantly. The bathrooms are tiny. The kitchens are substandard and barely serviceable. There were parcels and letters constantly going missing. People who didn't live in the building gained unauthorized access on multiple occasions. Someone from a neighbouring building flew a drone up to residents windows. The common room was trashed within a month of moving in, and was left unusable for a while. The bathroom doors are not secure and can be opened from the outside. If you're flatmates don't clean the kitchen it can result in money being deducted from your deposit. Bramall Court is so uninhabitable I had to move out before even completing the first term, and was unable to claim back any rent despite the multiple issues.

The rooms are great not as great for socialising

Wifi is so dodgy, so you can't even do work at home, you just have to suck it up and go to the library. Decor and furnishing literally haven't been changed for decades it feels like some 1970's prison. Such a dusty place as well, all my work is always covered in dust. It's not worth whatever you're paying, trust me it's a genuine s*******.

Cheap and not so cheerful

Good place to live for the money, bit outdated looking but other than that its fine. Staff are all nice and helpful and its a great location for Manchester and the University. Second year of living here!

It's not actually a bad halls of residence, the maintenance people are lovely and they're always keen on helping any issues that arise. The wifi tends to be quite awful at times, not constantly but more regular than wanted. The social space is fairly small, it could be a lot worse though. Location is an absolute beauty, not the halls itself, but it's close to a Nisa and the Manchester city centre; not shabby for the adelphie and peel campus either.

So cold and uncomfortable. The rooms are small-ish. If you're on an odd floor number then there's no elevator. It's cheap (£92/week I paid for mine) but no where near value for money. It's the closest of the Salford lot to Manchester, so that's a positive. But that also means its furthest from Salford University. And the bus is so unreliable that quite commonly at 8-9am and 4-5pm it will just skip Bramall Court. However, there are only 4 people (at the max) to a flat. But the kitchens are falling to bits. Literally some cupboards without doors and taps that don't work, as well as heating in one of my flatmates rooms. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There are much better deals available at Salford University.
