Most helpful review

I’ve lived at Ayton House for three years and it’s been really lovely! The management team are all super friendly and it’s in a great location (~10min walk to most of my lectures). It’s a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion!

As a student living in St Andrews, I have to say Ayton House is hands down one of the best places to call home during university. The location is spot on – just a short stroll from campus and right in the heart of all the action in town. The rooms at Ayton House are seriously cool. I'm in one of the shared apartments, and it's comfy, modern, and has everything I need. Plus, the internet here is lightning fast, which is a must for those late-night study sessions or Netflix binges. But it's not just about the rooms – the vibe at Ayton House is awesome. They're always putting on social events, from movie nights to pizza parties, so it's super easy to meet people and make friends. And the staff are super friendly and helpful too, which definitely makes a difference. Oh, and did I mention the gym? It's got all the equipment I need to stay in shape without having to trek across town.

Ayton House is a nice place to live, if a little unsociable (although that will change cohort to cohort, and isn’t a reflection of the staff’s effort to put on great events.) Obviously there are the annoying elements of living in student halls, like inspections and fire alarms at inconvenient times. But, overall, any issue that you have in Ayton House will be taken seriously and dealt with promptly, the management team are really motivated and try to listen to students’ wishes as far as possible, the rooms are decent, and the location is ideal. And there’s secure car parking.

My overall experience at Ayton is great. All the staff are friendly and willing to help. Most of the issues I reported were very quickly resolved. They also planned social activities all year around and sometimes put out snacks, which were always nice surprises. I also appreciated that the management team put out cleaning schedules and made things pretty clear and reassuring for us. In terms of social space, the common room and the study room are usually pretty quite. The on-site gym is also convenient for someone who doesn’t need too many facilities. The laundry can be a little bit crowded sometimes but generally fine. My room itself was great, very spacious and had a lot of convenient storage spaces. It’s usually warm but also has excellent heating for winter. The accommodation is a couple of minutes away from the harbour. Though it’s not in town centre, its proximity to the beach definitely enhanced my overall experience staying there.

The location of Ayton House is its best asset as it is 5 minutes away from the beach and very close to university buildings as well. The maintenance team always responds quickly, and everyone working here has been nothing but kind and helpful during my 3 years living here.

The staff are incredibly friendly and hard working, I have never had an issue with them. My only real gripe about living in Ayton House is with the circuit laundry system, it is very expensive (£5.50 minimum for a wash and dry - on the lowest wash setting), and the facilities are limited to around 4 washers and 4 dryers for the whole building.

Overall good property. The staff is incredibly helpful and by far the best part of living here, any problems I have had have been fixed very quickly. The kitchen is not the best and sometimes causes issues like shutting down my flat's electricity. WiFi and cellphone network reception are not always reliable. With this in mind it's quite expensive for what it is, though infinitely better than student halls for a similar price.

I love this place for many reasons. When I first asked for help in reception desk, actually it was not a big deal but they responded me fast and solved my problem. And I haven’t reversed the jet lag during that time so that my language is not so fluent. But they understood and showed great patience to communicating with me, which comforts me a lot in a foreign country.
