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.

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.

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.

No frills, but you get everything you need. It is super clean and convenient if visiting the university. Shared areas, including bathrooms, were well-maintained. Barely noticed other guests in my unit.

Accommodation was exactly what needed for visit to son who is studying at the university at great price. Rooms are comfortable and having kitchen is really great. Shower and facilities are all really clean. Have stayed here several times and would do again.

The showers were very cramped and made it hard to keep clothes dry to change into. The doors slammed hard and were noisy; not good when trying to sleep when others are up and about. Not having an en suite toilet.

Meeting some interesting people also staying. Free parking opposite.

The shower... 😊 There was a fixed showerhead,

It's a hall of residence, at the university, 28 minutes walk up a hill from the station. Unless you're needing to visit the uni, the national library or the hospital there's not much there.

It's a converted hall of residence, at the university, 28 minutes walk up a hill from the station. Cheap, clean, communal kitchen.

More hooks in the showers and toilets would be useful. It's a good mile uphill from town centre / rail station, with only hourly bus service (out of term time). I appreciated the exercise, but others might not.

Basic bolthole, as described

.... It was exactly just like the old days... But the wifi was much faster now 😁😂

Just like the old days... Cant beat it 😂

There's no soundproofing in the bunkhouse, so a noisy party occupying the rest of the flat was a nuisance, as were weekend revellers shouting outside in the early hours. All the power points in my room (N68) are above the bedhead, which is bizarre. The breakfast available (outside term time) in the Food Hall, which we had to take on the final morning because we had to leave before the Arts Centre opened, was very stodgy and sugary.

The location is fantastic! Everything worked as it's supposed to; the double bed I slept in alone was comfortable (my daughter, in a single bed next door, didn't agree); the catering in the Arts Centre was splendid - indeed, everything about the Arts Centre was first-rate.

Shower heads couldn't be adjusted up or down, so if you don't want to wash your hair bring a shower cap.

Great location (was visiting the Uni), clean, quiet, sink in room. Room was cozy and laid out well with a decently comfortable bed, and great desk space. No frills, but perfect for what it is.

Comfy room and convenient facilities. Really quiet in July

Directions to the room itself could be clearer, was told it'd either be on the left or on the right of a path😂

Really friendly and helpful staff! The room was clean and felt safe enough to leave my belongings whilst I was out!

Staff were excellent, great location just outside town centre

Keys not held at The Bunkhouse. Held at Penbryn (food hall) or at nearby reception. Need to go there first to get directions as Bunkhouse not signposted from top entrance of the University. Not bedside light as such.

Did not eat on site. Much older than students! Location close to City centre. Comfortable room.

Briefly disturbed by noise from other residents. Some might find the steep walk up from the town a bit challenging.

Very clean and secure, set in the grounds of the University (Penglais Campus) and with access to the sports centre, restaurants and other campus facilities close by. The apartment features separate showers and toilets and has a fully equipped kitchen with seating area and TV. The campus is located just a stones throw from the National Library and Penglais Nature Park , with the town centre and seafront about 15 minutes walk further down the hill.

Small showers and very loud doors

Location and price

Stayed in June 2024

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!

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.

Very basic accommodation, the showers are push buttons which is not very practical. Not many utensils in the kitchen (it would be nice to have more cutlery, plates and cups). The mattresses are uncomfortable, fine for a short stay.

Cheap accommodation in the middle of campus, fairly close to the town centre (25min walk, a couple of buses throughout the day, and a cheap 3min taxi ride from the station if need be). It was quiet and the room was clean, with a sink in the room, sheets and towels included. Easy checkout and safe rooms with keycards to lock from inside and outside the room.

Bed was not the most comfortable but absolutely fair facilities for the price.

Perfect value for money. Right in the university campus. Check in was super easy, room was clean and staff was really helpful

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.

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.
