Took a long time to check in. The first room we were given the bed was not made up and no towels. Had to return to reception and be allocated another room. It was late at night and the campus is difficult to navigate when it is unfamiliar. Finally found the other room. Entry was near a waste disposal area that smelt and the room smelt of damp. The window looked out on to a very high grey wall. The room was clean but the experience was underwhelming. Whilst, this is an economy room we recently stayed in similarly priced accommodation abroad which was of superintendent quality.

We booked a double room last minute after our camping holiday got rained off early. We stayed for two nights, and read the information available to us about the property beforehand so we knew what to expect. Both being ex-students ourselves who stayed in student accommodation during our studies, we thought that what was on offer was true to what we read online. The staff were lovely - check in was easy and we were given keys, a map and a description of where to go and where to park. We were allowed to drive to outside the flat and drop our stuff off before parking in a secure nearby car park on campus. It was up a hill a few hundred metres away but we didn’t mind this considering it’s a university campus. We were reassured that the reception was opened 24 hours so if we had any issues they would be there to help. There was a well stocked shop (with a gluten free section, great for a Coeliac like myself!), a coffee shop, a gym and a canteen. There were frequent busses heading into Falmouth and nearby towns. The flat itself housed 7 en suite rooms and a communal kitchen area with a large table. We had access to the usual appliances as well as cupboard and fridge/freezer space. Room was spacious with a basic double bed, bedding and linen (again remember this is student accommodation!). We also had towels. The area was quiet, there were plenty of plug sockets, the shower was lovely and hot/good pressure. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Difficult to find our accommodation when we arrived even having a map of the site from reception. Wi-fi was intermittent and made several journeys to reception to try to sort the problem. Staff were pleasant but ineffectual. Asked for extra pillows...they never came. Car parking was on site but quite a distance from our unit. Would not use again...too uncomfortable.

This is student accommodation, so the bed was ok, and the kitchen was clean with enough equipment to make something to eat. I wish that the doors had dampness. I did not appreciate someone who got up at 6:00 to make a cup of tea, letting the three doors they passed through bang. I was there as a student and not a tourist at the time.

Good basic accommodation. Great towels!
Great welcome at checkin (follow signs to Glasney Lodge). Found our room had not been cleaned but quickly swapped to another. Good quality student hall of residence. Take a fan if hot weather! Didn’t find how to release the window “restrictor” until the morning we left. No through breeze in room due to fire doors in communal kitchen. Shower room small but quite adequate. Amazingly, the shower curtain was very effective, not a drop on the floor! Towels amazingly soft & fluffy - better than most hotels we have stayed in! Beds ok but my wife found hers uncomfortable (she does have a back problem so perhaps not an issue for most) but if you like more than one pillow, take one or something to raise the first. Pizza/sandwich shop on site - nice pizzas - closed at 9pm. Parking is distant to the rooms - relevant if you have a walking problem (permit supplied) though they allowed us to park closer with “blue badge”. Can drop luggage off first before moving to car park. If you have a small disk on letting, press knob on outside door with the disk then turn the knob to open door. Some have key instead. Overall. Great value basic accommodation with communal kitchen & tv. Staff in 24 hr reception very helpful & friendly

No frills, good value for money ... poor bed
No frills room in student accommodation. Good size for two people with a double bed. Check in and check out was efficient and friendly and we were grateful that there was still someone there when we arrived later than planned due to traffic outside Bristol. Very clean room and bathroom. When we stripped the bed before checkout the duvet was very stained. I couldn't get the WiFi to work (but that may be my fault). The onsite cafe was really good and a short walk from the room. Reasonably priced with good options for breakfast and lunch and delightful, friendly staff. Good on site shop too. Parking is free and a 5 minute walk away. The main problem for us was the bed. The mattress is thin and we found it uncomfortable; we didn't sleep very well.

Had a bit of an issue to start as had booked 3 rooms through Expedia but the University system only showed one. They sorted it ok. Some of the printed instructions, e.g., for parking, names of roads, didn't match reality and could do with updating. Perfect for a short stay.

Very enjoyable stay Thank you
Stayed as part of daughters graduation. Was handy being onsite. Book in staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean and well stocked, as were communal kitchens. My only advice would be to have bars/cafes and food halls open longer during graduation to save people having to travel out, which would also bring revenue into Uni. The staff were very accommodating when having to book an extra days stay for my daughter due to unforeseen circumstances.

Cheap, but possibly spend a bit more for comfort
Good location. Lovely landscaping at the University. However, quite possibly the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever had the pleasure of paying for. Springs were sticking up in the mattress. We turned the mattress over in desperation and it was much better. Bathroom has an automatic light and fan that stays on for well over 10 minutes which was kind of annoying in the middle of the night.

Very spacious room, en-suite was very good. Very clean, with towels and toiletries. Quite noisy due to other residents letting doors slam. There is a kitchen at the end of the corridor which is well equipped but no kettle or tv in the room. This was not a problem for us as we found the wi-fi very good. We parked in the main car park which was a good 5 minutes walk from our room. Can also recommend the breakfast at the Stannary restaurant which was very good value and the on site pizza restaurant. Also all the staff were very friendly and helpful.

This is student accommodation, so don't expect hotel facilities. The rooms are fine and each flat has a kitchen equipped with pots, pans, cutlery etc. The location is slightly out of town, so a car is ideal, although there are bus stops on campus. There is some walking and lots of stairs, so probably not suitable if you have a disability. It's reasonably priced compared to most places in Cornwall this year. I didn't experience any issues with noise or flooding showers as per some of the reviews I have seen There is a shop and cafe on site, but open too late for breakfast if you are working (fine if there for leisure). Cafe shuts too early to get dinner, for most people.

Noisy and basic.
We were booked in for a total of 10 days . My son and I were on a swimming holiday around Cornwall so needed a base to be able to travel all around the county. The accommodation was ideally situated. However sadly is was very noisy late at nights with some noisy residents and banging doors. The shower room leaked water into the bedroom and the extension cable needed was missing so difficult recharging phones etc. Breakfast good and cheap. Staff wonderful.

Thank you for your review and we hope you had a lovely swimming holiday in Cornwall, and got to enjoy different places around the county. We’re pleased to hear that the breakfast was good and you thought our staff wonderful! We hope you weren’t disturbed too much by other guests. Do contact our Lodge next time, so that Security can give people a polite warning to keep the noise down. As with all hotels, B&Bs and campsites, we do expect guests to be respectful of others who may be trying to sleep, particularly in the early hours. We’ll take a look at our welcome communications around this. Our Lodge team are only too happy to help with any other issues you may have during your stay as well.
