Very good accommodation for a relatively low price.
Great value for money and great experience here
I have been staying at St Davids for 3 years and will be sad to leave this summer when I graduate. The facilities are fantastic and the staff are amazing. St Davids has become a home away from home for me.
DO NOT LIVE HERE I moved in to student roost for my first year of university, so far it has been a nightmare. The great social spaces that they advertise are nearly always closed without an explanation. Most of the staff members are happy to help you but unfortunately there is one that is passive aggressive, so much that you’d prefer not to ask for your mail. There is small amount of anti social behaviour, so roost decided to bring in security that guard the gates like a prison. Unfortunately, the staff care more about there processes than actually sorting issues out. They prefer to pick on individual students than tackling the groups that are causing big problems. Do not fall for “this is your home” this is a hell home.
This is my first year at student roosts and also my first year in uni. The staff are all friendly and are willing to help whenever it’s required, it honestly feels like a second home
I have lived here for 4 years and it has been the best 4 years of my life. The staff here is like a family and I'm going to miss seeing them everyday. Definitely recommend everyone coming to swansea to stay at st David's.
My first time away in a student accommodation, and I’ve enjoyed myself. The people I’m sharing with are great, and any time I’ve had any issues the night owls have always been ready to help!
Hello, thank you for your lovely review. So happy to see that you've enjoyed your experience, many thanks, Lowri
I want to thank Saint David's team for making me feel during my first year of studies, safe and welcome; everytime that I am walking through or visiting reception there is always a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Their encouraging emails and the understanding quotes in the reception, makes the whole COVID situation much more sufferable.
Thank you so much for your kind words which mean a lot to the team here at St Davids. We continue to be here on site for all of our students :)
Normally a great place. However, during the coronavirus pandemic, they have been dreadful! Refusing to cancel tenancys when people are stuck at home unable to get back, a real lack of empathy and understanding. Accommodations nearby including Bay Campus, offering cancellations for those returning home due to unprecedented times. Very disappointing
These are incredibly challenging times and we are doing everything we can to support our residents. Although our properties remain open and residents remain enrolled with their university, we do understand why many of you have chosen to move out of your accommodation to study online in your family home. As these are unprecedented circumstances, we have made an exception to our normal cancellation policy to support our residents. We will be cancelling residents’ payments from 1 May if you plan to move out, or have already moved out of your Roost home and will not be returning after the Easter break. To let us know you would like to do this, please email early.release@studentroost.co.uk. We are continuing to provide 24/7 support all our residents, including those who do not wish to, or cannot, move out of their student accommodation. We have consistently followed all NHS and government advice around COVID-19 (coronavirus) and will continue to do so, and have ensured continuity of vital services like broadband and receipt of deliveries, which is now more important than ever. We hope this helps provide some assurance in these difficult times.
The most amazing staff and wonderful location. Love it here. Great support!
Thanks, we love that you loved it here!
The only thing I can say about the place is that it’s a home away from home. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Love this place and will miss it once I am done studying.
Thanks so much for your feedback; we're so pleased we made St Davids a home away from home for you!
If social spaces means a giant room with numerous computers and settees as soon as you walk into the building then that is great.
Hello. Next time you're downstairs don't forget to go and explore The Cwtch, Hub and study space along with the gym which offers some great space for you to use. If you would like us to show you all of our amenieties why not pop to reception next time you're passing :)
Lovely place to live, so far. Absolutely worth the money. The bed's comfy, the view out my window is nice, the walls and floors are very soundproof. Staff are lovely. Internet occasionally goes off randomly but when it works it's very fast, enough for gaming and voice calling. There's a gym (not that I've been there, but I've heard it's good), laundry rooms (never busy!), and there's a Lidls literally three minutes away. They are extremely lenient if you have a problem paying rent or if there's been a problem with your loan. I specifically have a disabled room, and it's more than I could've hoped for. Loads of room so no tripping over or struggling to get past the desk or bed, everything's very accessible, and the bathroom has a special shower and enough bars that I can navigate no problem. Only downside is the fire alarms always get set off at like 3am the day before you have class. But I guess that's a safety thing too?

Public spaces are very well managed. The vending machines in social spaces need to be restocked more often. Reliability of the internet leaves a lot to be desired.
Thank you for your review. Please can you pop to reception in order for us to escalate any internet issues with our third party contractor. Thank you :)
good location for University of Wales students
Thank you for your review :)
New, easy to clean cabin type flats, 24hr security, good-sized kitchens, social spaces, bike parking with a small gym on-site & helpful and friendly, full-time reception staff. It's my 4th year here, I love it!
Thank you for your valued custom :) So glad we've been able to be such a massive part of your uni life!
A very good place to meet new people, very easy for trinity students due to distance to uni.
I'm so happy you've met so mny people here :) Thank you for your review!
A good place to settle down in. Not too far from uni either but most importantly its very close to windsteert ... ;)
Thank you for your review! It is a great location :)
Friendly / helpful staff Close to city center
Thank you for your lovely review :) I will pass on to the team, Lowri
close to town, helpful staff and large social spaces
Thank you for your lovely review :) Lowri
St David's is a great place to live whilst being at uni. It is located right near town which is convenient, as well as travel to both campuses are quick and easy. The social rooms and living space they provide is great to relax. the halls and rooms are very spacious.
Thank you for your valued feedback :)
A value for money place,clean areas, friendly and helpful hall management 24/7. Highly recommended if you are looking for a place to have your best time as a student and enjoy to the fullest the life in Swansea.
Thank you so much for your feedback :)
Plenty of space in kitchen and bedrooms,
Thank you for your review :)
the staff are good and social areas are relaxing. its a good place to live and close to town
I'm so glad that you're enjoying your time here at St Davids, Lowri
lovely staff amazing people and a really good experience to start uni off
Thank you for your feedback! I will pass on to the staff :)
Amazing facilities that make leaving home easier. Amazing staff that help with any issues that you may have. Great rooms and the kitchen. social hubs are something that makes making friends a lot easier. WiFi is brilliant in my room, can be slow in the kitchen and outside in the courtyard.
Thank you so much for your feedback :)
I moved here for my first year in university. i have had a great experience from meeting new friends within the accommodation social areas. You wouldn't expect a halls residence to be in such a high standard from the style to the cleanliness. Management are also supportive from dealing with rooms to helping with personal issues. Student Roost is a excellent place to live throughout the university years meeting a variety or people and a range of different experiences.
What a lovely review! Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate it, Lowri :)
It’s my first year at uni and I fell in love with the place at an open day for UWTSD. Staff are friendly and always help to ensure we have good experiences. We also have social events and spaces where we can meet up with others in the comfort of our Accomodation - boosting my confidence loads especially since I can get very shy and anxious around others. couldn’t be happier here
Thank you for your lovely review :)
Really friendly staff. Nice looking place. Bad WiFi. Uses Circuit laundry which is bad and expensive for what you get. Lots of previous damage to flats, some of which you won’t notice till after they require you to report so will try to fine you for it. Would recommend you, your flats mates and everyone how helps any of you move down check everything and write down the issues and once everyone has done so email with all the issues
Thank you for your review. I am aware that any issues has already been discussed with you, please let us know if you are still experiencing issues with the internet in order for us to highlight with the third party contractors. As advised, we have on site staff ready to resolve any enquiries brought to our attention 🙂 We would recommend all students to ensure that a full inventory is completed at the time of move in. I am unaware of any fines that have been raised against your account but more than happy to discuss with you further. Thank you so much for your valued custom and I'm so glad you've decided to stay with us again! Lowri
My time here so far has been really enjoyable, everything is kept running really efficiently and I feel fortunate to have the social spaces that are available. In terms of value I that for what you get, it is extremely worth the money I paid especially with the Gold room.
Thank you for your great feedback! We love our social spaces and so glad that you're using them so much! We can't wait for our new social spaces that will also be added to the accomodation from next September :)
In all amazing accommodation would definitely recommend
Thank you so much for your valued feedback! We are so happy you are loving your experience here! St Davids Team

Thank you so much for your feedback! We love to create a home for our students and I'm so happy to hear that you've enjoyed our facilities. Many thanks, Lowri
the environment here is very good. the social aspect is good. water is not very fast draining but all else very good.
Thank you for your feedack and I'm so glad to hear you're really enjoying the social aspect of living here. In regards to the water, our maintenance team are on site 6 days a week and will happily sort this out for you :) Many thanks, Lowri
I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of new people and make new friends that will last a long time. It's been really good and I'm glad I chose to come here. Although it is a little expensive.
It's so nice to hear that you've had a great experience and met lots of new friends which I'm sure you'll have in your life for years to come. Many thanks, Lowri
The place is very convenient for students, it is very safe place to leave as there is also security. The maintenance team is amazing, and they repair anything in less than 24 hours .
We are very proud of our great onsite maintenace team here at St Davids and so glad to hear you've had a great experience here :) Many thanks, Lowri
Very happy with stay. Amazing social spaces and a lot to do. Rooms are a good size and kitchen accommodates well. No issues with anything all year round, staff are really friendly and helpful. Would recommend.
Thanks for your great feedback. We are so happy that you've had such a great experience living here at St Davids. Many thanks, Lowri
A great student experience with all facilities included. However, there are some faults with pool table and occassional faults with wifi.
Thank you for your valued feedback and very happy to hear of your great experience here at St Davids. We endevour to work closely with our third party internet provider and will forward your feedback to them to ensure the internet service here is always to the highest standard. Our pool table has changed over the last year to be free of charge which may have caused some faults at the time and we can only apologise for any inconveniences this may have caused. We wish you all the luck in the future. Lowri
A fantastic student experience available to all. a home from home just right in the perfect spot, in the middle of town. Would recommend to anyone. Sad to be leaving! :(
Thank you for your great feedback! This review has made all the team very happy. Have a lovely summer. Lowri
Good place good location however location
Thanks for your great feedback. Have a lovely summer!
helpful staff and great place to meet new people.
This review has made our staff here at St Davids very happy. Thank you
To begin with, the staff were very helpful; for example, before moving I was able to call the site multiple times with any queries or questions I had, and on the actual moving day the process was made way less stressful by the available information and staff members. To help residents get to know each other Student Roost held a "Welcome Party" and they even provided a bus and wristband for the most popular club in the area! It is efforts such as these that have made staying here worthwhile and more enjoyable. When the reception staff finish at 8. a security guard takes over and maintains the safety of all the residents. Rebooking my room has been made so much easier, and I wouldn't hesitate to live here for the entirety of my university career- especially when considering the fact that Student Roost is slightly cheaper than staying on campus (as a Swansea University student).
Thank you for your great feedback! Keep your eyes peeled on emails coming out where our tenants will be able to help us organise future events! Your feedback is much appreciate and helps us to ensure all of our tenants are happy!
great service would recommend to anyone who is looking for high quality student accommodation.
Thank you, this has made our staff here at St Davids very happy. Lowri
only bus 10 come here Kitchen sometimes really dirty
Thank you for your valued feedback. Please don't hesitate to come to reception where we will be able to give out some handy bus timetables and direct you to the nearby bus stop which also caters for those who would also like to use the number 8 bus. We're sorry to hear that you've had a negative experiene with your shared kitchen. We appreciate with join responsibility this can often be challenging but the team will always be available to help with any internal flat issues when they occur. Please don't hesitae to pop to reception and we can go through it with you. Lowri
Made good friends here! In the beginning of the year everyone was really friendly, at the end of the year they didn't care anymore and the staff reacts really rude. They don't help with communication and don't give an entry notice in time. They can give a harsh comment if you ask for help or something doesn't go how they want it. Lift broke down and they didn't give any updates. They defend it was only for sone weeks but in the end we didn't have a lift for almost 2 months. In the end they didn't care anymore. Wifi is also really bad and cuts out almost every day. A lot of noise in the courtyard and the security doesn't do anything about it cause they are too busy watching youtube on their phone. In the end they didn't give as much freebies anymore and no free breakfast anymore. Too expensive.
Thanks so much for your review, we're really sorry that we didnt meet your expectations. Our lift was out of action for a couple of weeks, however the safety of our residents has to come first and until our supplier was able to source the correct parts we couldnt put it back in use. On this occassion our supplier let us down and weren't able to resolve it as quickly as we wanted, however the lift has been operational since December without any futher issues. I'm sorry to hear that you've had some issues with the internet, if you contact us and let us know your details we will escalate with the third party internet provider. I am sorry to hear about the comments made in regards to our security and the issues raised seem very much out of character therefore if you would like to contact me directly on am.stdavids@studentroost.co.uk we can fully address. If you have any problems again please don't hesitate to come and speak to us. :)
Really friendly staff, always happy to help! Flats themselves are up to date and comfy, just enough space!
Thanks for your great feedback! The staff are very happy with your comments :)
The location is very nice as its near everything and the stuff is very friendly.
Thank you for your great feedback. The staff are very happy with your comments :)
convenience social spaces staff postal system
Thank you for your feedback! Don't forget to use the Amazon locker aswell for even more convenience :)
if you are looking for new friends this place is great
Thank you for your feedback. The staff here are very passionate about ensuring that all tenants have the best uni experience and this comment makes us very happy :)
Had nothing but problems here since I've moved in. It's in a great location but the staff need to pay more attention to serious issues going on within their accommodation.
Thank you for your feedback. Here at St Davids we endevour to ensure that all of our tenants have the best student experience and its dissapointing to hear the comments made. In order to continue our customer care we would appreciate if you could pop us an email am.stdavids@studentroost.co.uk in order for us to ensure that all of the problems you've experienced are addressed. Thank you in advance, Lowri
WiFi always cuts out and goes down, when lift is broken it takes months to fix and complaints don’t get sorted unless you complain multiple times, I.e maggots in flat

Many thanks, Lowri
Really friendly staff, social events that could suit anyone, excellent experience.
Thank you for your comments. This makes our team here at St Davids very happy :)
Alright place, staff is quite nice but head manager says to his staff that they can't be close with their tenants to talk to them about stuff. Good location, but a bit overpriced for the services (washingmachines, lift breaks down and don't fix it). Loud in the courtyard at night (it can be loud on a student night, but they should keep it in hand).
Thanks so much for your review, we'd love for you to come and speak to us as we're really sorry that we didnt meet your expectations. Our 24 hour team are always happy to respond to any issues, including noise so be sure to contact them if this happens again. If you do have any problems with the washing machines please let us know straight away and we'll contact the provider on your behalf to sort these out if they arent helping you.

Incredibly friendly. very welcoming and well worth the price!
We are glad that we have made you feel at home here. Thanks for your review.
Amazing stay for the year. Wish the curtains were blackout.
We are pleased to hear you've had a great year at St Davids. We take on board your comments and this is something we will look at for the future.
i enjoy my stay at st davids. staff are very friendly and helpful
Thank you for your review. Glad we've been of help to you and you've enjoyed living here.
Very nice place to live. Good room with enough space, big wardrobe, plenty of shelves including lovely ones near bed, very nice bathroom. Staff are amazing, very helpful. A bit pricy, but worth it. Very close to centre, Lidl is just in a minute of walking. Overall great place for students to live!
Thank you for your review. We're glad that you are enjoying your time here St Davids :)
I rate the hall management one star because as I was booking on for next year with a £200 off deal, they reassured me it would be easy to cancel if I successfully got a YII placement as long as I cancelled before July and they still said that the day I booked. March I successfully got a placement sorted, but I couldn't cancel my contract for next year because the policies had changed half way through this deal and multiple staff kept relaying me incorrect information and has now caused me even more stress to find someone to replace my contract on top of assignments and exams as I have no time to. I read all the policies last year and was completely unaware they changed. The amount of money you're paying, you'd think that someone would take out the bins and go over the kitchen or at least make sure the kitchen is clean every once a week but only the entrance to the block and lift are cleaned. The good points: 24 hour security, amazing social spaces and 24 hour parcel pick up.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are glad to hear that you’re pleased with our 24hour services. Regarding our cancellation policy we are sorry to hear that you felt there was miscommunication. Due to us being unable to identify you, please come and see us in reception so we can investigate this further and resolve any issues. Our team will be happy to clear up any misunderstanding of our cancellation policy. We hope you enjoy the rest of your time at St Davids and good luck with your placement next year.
st Davids offer a good value for money student accommodation having all of the bills and WiFi included in the price not only makes life simpler but also saves me time while i'm studying .
Happy to hear that living here has made your time at University easier. Thank you for taking the time to review us. :)
Living in St David’s is great. There are social events that are amazing and the staff are so lovely. I love my flat and the facilities as well. I didn’t consider moving into a house for my second year, I rebooked my room instead.
So glad that you've enjoyed the social events, we enjoy hosting them. Happy to see you've rebooked, there will be a lot more fun events to come.
Overall, solid accomodation, however, and this is only my experience, you can be made to feel uncomfortable at times by other people, esspecially for someone like me who gets anxious easily.
Thank you for your feedback. Please don't hesitate to come and speak to me directly in regards to any issues you may be having within the accommodation. We are pasionate to ensure that all of our tenants have the best Uni experience and have great links with both University student services and would love the opperunity to assist you with any issues you may have experienced. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly, many thanks, Lowri
Staff are super friendly. Location is brilliant for students it’s got everything we need. The on site gym is nice and convenient. Very safe place to live. I’ve been here 3 years never want to leave...
This makes us very happy! Thank you for staying with us for three years and making St Davids a part of your overall Uni experience :)
friendly staff, great social events
Thank you for your feedback :)
A comfortable space to live in. Staff at reception are always ready to help and are friendly. Brilliant location too - 10 minute walk from city centre and it’s right next to the train station.
Thank you for your feedback :)
A good accomodation, with a few delays in fixing lift. And wifi tends to cut out at the most inconvenient times

Have loved living at st davids, would recommend it to anyone studying at UWTSD or Swansea uni! Clean, helpful staff, always want to make you feel at home! Such an amazing place!!
Thank you so much for your feedback :)
I really love living at St. David’s! The team are all so friendly and welcoming, hosting a variety of events suitable for everyone! The halls are so close to everything that you need mike uni campuses, the train station, bus stations, shops and supermarkets to get food! The city centre is a short five to ten minute walk, making it super easy for students to be sociable. We are also surrounded by lots of beaches and nature trails so we can go for walks! St David’s is awesome!
Great to see that you've been enjoying everything that Swansea has to offer during your time here! :)
Having moved 200 miles away from home it's been nice to come somewhere that is really understanding and accommodating to students
This has made our staff very happy! Thank you :)

Some problems took over a month to be solved, like the elevator.
