An unbeatable location for Queen's University students, this place is a hub of friendliness and support. The staff are super nice. The common areas are huge and awesome for hanging out with friends. You'll have a blast studying or just chilling here.

Honestly I was very disappointed with my time at Botanic Studios, with no onsite security (you have to phone and wait to near half an hour for them to arrive) your safety should be a priority. However to have non residents still managing to enter the building as well as even sleep in the communal areas and especially being in a lively area with lots of pubs you are susceptible to coming across drunks hanging around. Note even security admitted that they have found people who did belong to the building in there and had to put them out. When moved in our room was dirty and damage on our walls from were someone had used blutack taking the paint off, as well as burn marks from were a candle must have been (which is not allowed) If you have any friends over be prepared to have to take them up to your room for a toilet as downstairs there is only a staff toilet amongst the common area The lack of professional staff is appalling, I have not felt like I was safe hands while staying there.

I have rented from three different private student accommodation providers during my 7 years of education: 4 years in Edinburgh, 1 year in Glasgow and I have spent the past 2 years with my current provider, Fresh Student Living (Botanic Studios) in Belfast. Without a doubt, Fresh Student Living in Belfast has been my best experience! The establishment is clean, warm, safe and situated in an excellent city location. The staff are friendly and extremely supportive. You are treated like an individual at Fresh, there are lots of activities and events for those who want to socialise, or you are left to live independently if you prefer to do so. There is a lovely mix of students from all over the world and the shared facilities are first class. I highly recommend Fresh Student Living in Belfast (Botanic Studios), I’m a PhD student and my private studio overlooking the city is the perfect place to study and relax.

The maintenance in this accommodation is lousy for the steep price we're paying. Hot water gets cuts off at random times and there is also issues with the piping/plumbing system that sometimes causes flooding from the toilet and the dirty water that goes into the washing machine. Theres also no security so it can get quite unsafe at night as anyone can get in, and whenever the fire alarms go off we have to wait for the firefighters to come and shut it down because of the lack of security in the reception. However, the rooms are relatively good and comfortable and the location is excellent but it doesn't justify the lack of necessities (good maintenance, security) we're supposed to have.
