Nice flats which are clean on arrival and good value for money. They have everything you need and a good amount of storage. Maintenance team could respond to issues faster but this might just be my personal experience. If you’re coming to Salford university this is the best accommodation in the area you will find

Student Review: 3.7 /5
By member1186775 On 25th May 23 verified Verified student

I pay 151 pounds per week to live here, its nice with lots of storage, well kept rooms and plenty of space, I have a bronze room. The kitchen is massive too as I share a flat with 9 other people. The student union bar is across the path and all my lessons are less than a 10 min walk away. The property management is good, the receptionists are nice. The mainteneace guys come fast if you need anything. I live in lowry 2 in a room facing the bins/outside bench area and people always smoke there, right outside my window, I'm p sure including the maintenence guys so my room always smells of weed/smoke which isnt very nice for me. Additionally when I first moved in maintenence always needed doing e.g no hot water, blocked drains all the time, radiator not working...etc. my drain still blocks all the time. The WiFi is mostly fast and reliable but there's been a few times where its randomly gone, one of my flatmates once went 2 weeks with no WiFi in their room. 4/5 stars overall

Staff are unthoughtful, never at reception when you need them. Had multiple problems with our kitchen and have reported serval times however still nothing has been done. Had an incident where someone in my flat got assaulted in our own flat by someone outside of Campus Living Villages but got told not to phone the police as it would “affect the student finance”. Overall would not recommend, unsafe, unhygienic and unhelpful.

The accommodation itself is alot better than to be expected of university accommodation, rooms are well light and a good size. Whole area is very modern. Area is very loud, including the gate which would slam very loudly until fixed one week before the end of term. Key cards would often malfunction meaning people would be locked out of buildings and flats. In the first month the lock to our flat door ran out of battery, which you wouldn't expect at the start of a new term. It then took multiple days for someone to come out to fix the door lock, this meant we had to ensure someone was in the flat at all times to let others in. Some lights in kitchen faulty and wouldn't turn on. Lights in kitchen and corridor motion sensors not activating for me unless I jumped (I'm 5"2 for context). Oven didn't work when we arrived, issue brought up within first few weeks, oven not replaced until January. Constantly having staff members entering rooms for "checks".

I first moved in, place was full of dust, it was dirty, dirty microwave, dirty kettle, backsplash had moldy food. One of the ovens in my flat was not useable it was that dirty, reception notified, not action taken. Instead during flat inspection we were told if we did not carry out the cleaning it would affect our deposit even though it was like this upon move in? It is also riddled with bedbugs, I have been left with scars from bites reported in October 2022 and this was not resolved until February 2023, as upon reception staff checking my room, apparantly nothing was there, until pest control visited, even after 2 other rooms before I first noticed bites were already being treated. Over £100 laundry bill, still awaiting a refund from February 2023. I had to beg for a new mattress. Its a great location to uni and everything you need, but it is not good value for money, and alot of problems witb many flats.

It has been worth getting the room I stayed in, it's central to the uni campus, has multiple shops nearby, and it's only 20 minutes on a bus from Manchester centre. The room is a little rough around the edges, but all in all, it's a nice place to stay. Just watch out for the spiders in Summer 😬

PPQ is good on the surface, it has been a nice and safe place to live overall. Security is a bit mad, as keycard regularly stop working, and maintenance always lock your room with your key inside. Getting charged for damage that was here before us has left a level of distrust. The lift is regularly broken, reception is barren. And post takes days from being delivered to being put in the postbox. The bedroom itself is nice with lots of storage, and the ensuite bathroom works as intended.

Overall peel park is a great place to live with the student union just around the corner and Manchester City centre just a bus ride away. The rooms are alright, and have enough space for anything you might need. Unfortunately the property management is lacking however, whilst a few members of the staff are lovely. The rest are utterly incompetent at handling situations in a reasonable manner, with one even entering our flat unannounced. It’s a decent place to live but the management and staff are shockingly poor at communication skills and incident handling.

PPQ is in a nice location next to the universities main campus with cosy rooms with lots of storage. However, staff do not deal appropriately with bullying except moving the student being bullied as if it's their own fault. They do not get back to their emails often so if you need to speak to them or maintenance to be done on the flat you will only get an answer if you go to reception.

I liked living at Peel Park Quarter alot, however we have had endless problems, from the freezer causing a flood to maintenance just not being done when they were said they were going to, however the ensuite bathroom, although very small, is extremely ideal and i still would recommend Peel Park Quarter as it's reserved for first years and is a nice place overall

Good accommodation for first years. The actual value for money and what you get is good however there could be a better job at the start of the years to make sure all equipment in communal areas like fridges and ovens are working and spaces have been cleaned properly as there are stains over the sofa

I had loads of issues with the flat next to me making noise at ungodly hours when I had work and lectures in the morning and security often didn't even go to check and if they did the noise would stop for 5 minutes when rang and when I contacted management there was no resolution so this caused an ongoing issue for the entire academic year There was also maintenance works on the exterior of the building I was in for almost the whole academic year, mon-sat 9-5 Internet was hit and miss Not a good social experience, everyone tends to hide in their rooms although the company do offer some fun free experiences such as pancakes for pancake day but not many people go so it's hard to meet new people Washers obviously need a clean, I use the same products at home and my washing at PPQ came out smelling like a 12 year old boys dirty rag

Nice place. Facilities + rooms are nice. Staff can often be unhelpful and rude - you’re often told to return tomorrow if you have an issue that they don’t want to deal with ( I wanted a printed Inventory form because my online one didn’t work and only got one after being told to come back ‘tomorrow’ for it 3 days in a row!) When I wanted to hand in my filled in inventory form they tried to argue that they wouldn’t take it because it was after the deadline, to which I proceeded to tell them it wouldn’t have been after the deadline if they had given it to me when I had previously asked for it or if my online inventory would have worked in the first place, so they eventually agreed to take it. Was charged £25 after having my purse snatched on a night out because my room key was in it. Apparently it’s still classed as losing my room key so they still charged me even though I had lost all of my cards and money.

This place is great. A rare find. Visited a Few other halls at other unis and Salford is by far the best. Open plan living and your own shower ensuite too. Can make your room your own and beds are almost double. Met some crazy, like minded people!!!
