Comfortable and convenient.

Visiting for the Trawsnewid festival at the Arts Centre so location could not have been better. Security staff super efficient when I lost my card key.

Lace curtains in N16 need cleaning (mold) or replacing.

8.0 / 10.0

Excellent for a warm, comfortable stay.

Typical style of University halls of residence. Clean, warm, great for doing some writing. Handbasin in the room with other bathroom facilities across the corridor. Access to communal kitchen/dining area with microwave, fridge, freezer, kettle, crockery was an excellent reason for booking this accommodation.

Great value stay, very clean.

Clean and great value for money.

toilets ran out of soap, parking is a bit of hassle with permits not automatically issued.

Be clearer about check in please

Came for the comedy festival; so was ideally located a mere stones throw from the Arts Centre. Room just a standard generic student residence that I've stayed in many a time. Very clean ; just what was needed.

Just a wee gripe in regards to the non clarity of obtaining key cards to access the building; which involved a further walk back down to the Penbryn building ( im not against walking). Which had to be explained to me by an elderly lady that had luckily just checked in slightly ahead of me.

Probably go again

Provided somewhere to stay for what I could afford to pay.

The room was bad and I didn’t like sharing facilities with the other people.

5.0 / 10.0

Good value but many small niggles.

The location on the University campus was good. The bedroom was fine - student style accommodation as expected. Clean and comfortable. Not ensuite, but with a sink in the bedroom. Wi-Fi was good.

The (shared) kitchen and shower rooms were disappointing. The kitchen was spacious enough, with a lot of counter space and cupboards and two large fridge freezers, but there was not enough equipment to really cook. There were plates, cups and cutlery, but no sharp knives or cutting board, and a very limited selection of cooking equipment. The shower rooms are across the corridor from the bedrooms, so it is essential to have a dressing gown (only one small towel was provided). There is nowhere in the shower rooms to put sponge/shower soap etc, which makes things tricky. And it is not possible to move the showerhead, which is very high. So unless you want to wash your hair every time you shower it is necessary to have a shower cap or to stand right against the wall so that the water goes over your head. Finally, there is a sink and soap in the toilet rooms, but no way to dry your hands. Since the toilet rooms and shower rooms are separate, the logistics of a stay while mensurating would be very difficult and stressful.

Fantastic place to stay over if you visit Aberystwyth

Very cheap comparing to other places, very clean and tidy place. Security staff was very friendly and helpfull with showing me location of my dormitory. Facilities were spotless clean. Nothing to moan about.

Nothing but location. It was about 20-30 minutes walk uphill from Aberystwyth town center (very challanging after long day of chilling at the beach :)

Highly recommended!

Great service from booking to check in, and the room was excellent for the price.

The two pillows provided were a bit thin and flat, but folding one in half made them usable. Definitely bring your own pillow. Literally everything else was perfect.

Great location, value for money - with a bit of cleaning it would be perfect

The cost was incredible compared to anything else available in the area, it was quiet and had everything that I needed in the immediate vicinity, and was a nice contrast to stay up the hill rather than in town.

Although it is great value for money, the cleanliness could be slightly better, particularly in the shared shower and toilet areas.

7.0 / 10.0

Very enjoyable.

The location was excellent, bed was comfortable and room was clean with mostly everything you need. I got lost as I arrived in the dark, security were friendly and helpful.

This was my fault but I hadn't realised there wasn't a kettle in my room, I would have brought one had I realised. Also, there was a wifi box which you had to look up about how to use it. I'm not very tech savvy so would have liked the information to have been written out and simple. I also didn't know about the parking permit, again, probably my fault but I arrived late and tired and didn't read the information until the morning.

Loved it!

It is a bunkhouse, it does what it says on the tin! Room was cosy and had everything you needed for quiet study. Bed was good, too.

Great place to stay.

Room very comfortable, and included a wash hand basin, a bath towel is also included. Shared Shower and shared toilet were opposite the bedrooms. .Large Kitchen/diner was at the end of the corridor. The key card room lock was extremely efficient, compared to others I have used. Good view out in to the University grounds, and situation very quiet. The bus stops are only a few minutes walk away on top of the hill, and although there are not many buses, are useful once one knows their pattern. There is a Spar supermarket also on top of the hill. Shower gel is included , in shower room. Wifi can work well. Box near door for key cards so no need to trek down hill to Reception to check out.

The individual shower room very small and cramped and difficult to get into without getting wet feet. The shower head cannot be adjusted and sprays beyond the curtain, so do not put anything on the floor! Actually another door hook would have been handy, as difficult to put clothes and towel on the double hook. There is no soap or towel in toilet, and no soap in bedroom, so bring your own. The Beko cooker is efficient, but it has two ovens, and the small one is NOT a grill, it will melt cheese but not toast baps or crumpets. The toaster will only take sliced bread. The bedroom walls are only one brick thick, so don't speak loudly on mobil, or play podcasts late at night! If you get University 03 bus it only takes you to porter's lodge, and the hill up to bunk houses is precipitous!

Clean and well equipped

Secure entry via electronic pass into the bunkhouse. Decent sized wardrobe for staying a few days, nice workdesk and adjustable chair in the room. Shared kitchen with good facilities which was cleaned daily along with the shared showers and toilets. I particularly liked the fact that I was left in peace by the staff throughout my stay. The room is yours from start to finish and there is no need to have to vacate the room at any point during your stay for linen changes or anything like in some places I've stayed in previously. If you require any assistance you always have 24 hour reception available in a separate building.

The shower room and shower itself were the biggest letdown although I wouldn't let that itself stop me staying in the bunkhouse in the future. The direction of the nozzle / shower head was fixed and non adjustable so it was difficult to clean the shower after use. The floor in the shower became extremely slippery when wet and soapy and I'm surprised there wasn't an anti slip mat or something. The showers are push button so you have to keep pushing the button during your shower otherwise the water stops coming out. Maybe these could be adjusted by the university in future so that each push of the button provides water for a greater length of time then we don't need to press as often? Regarding the shared toilets there was a wash basin and soap supplied so you can wash your hands but nothing there to dry your hands on afterwards.
