Compared to Wessex Lane Complex, in Archers rooms are smaller, kitchen is bigger and there is no significant difference in prices. The building is nothing special, old. The neighbourhood is boring but green and quiet. There is no local store except for a small co-op. The laundry is in Romero building, so if you live in Gately, you have walk 1min to use it. Basically, the place is really quiet, people tend to be unsociable. There is one small common are, usually empty. I didn’t like my stay in Archers (3 months) so I moved to Wessex Lane where is much better. In Wessex you can choose if you want to be social or not while in Archers you can’t.

Loved it!
Great small halls. Very social, and a lot to do in the common room. The flats were cleaned daily and the hall management (residence support) were superb and very efficient.
Romero > Gateley
good price but a lot of things stop working (shower regularly did not heat up) and take a long time to be fixed or are not fixed properly.
Good for nightlife, bit further from uni but you save on taxi fares. Quite a small halls so a bit trickier to make lots of friends
