The overall renovation is very nice, and the lobby is quite impressive. However, the water was cut off several times, there was no hot water on several occasions, or the water suddenly stopped without any notice. The internet is slightly unstable, and the TV screen casting often disconnects, so you can prepare an HDMI cable yourself. When I moved in, the cleaning wasn’t done particularly thoroughly, and the fridge was still a little dirty. The soundproofing is indeed pretty good. It’s relatively close to supermarkets, and after moving in, two new supermarkets opened downstairs. There are also frequent events in the lobby. The room comes with a kettle and a toaster, which is quite thoughtful. The front desk is basically available 24 hours a day, and if anything comes up, it’s quick to go downstairs and ask for help. Although I lost parcels twice, they were eventually found. If you decide to stay here, just enjoy your life in Manchester! Everything can be solved.

This apartment is in an excellent location, with an ASDA supermarket and a Chinese supermarket right downstairs, and a Sainsbury’s just a 7-minute walk away, making it very convenient. The facilities far exceeded expectations: the furniture is complete, brand-new, and greatly enhances the living experience. The sound insulation is also good. The corridors are clean and tidy. The bathroom is spacious and bright, with voice-activated lighting, which gives a very nice impression. In the evening, you can see Manchester’s blue hour through the floor-to-ceiling windows—it’s beautiful, and having dinner at that time really lifts your mood. The exterior of the apartment building is also nice, and there are sofas in the lobby downstairs. Overall, it’s a very comfortable place to live.

I lived here for a full year, and the experience was great! The lobby is very spacious and luxurious. When I first walked in, it didn’t even feel like student accommodation—my friend said it looked like a hotel. The front desk on the ground floor is staffed all the time, and the overall environment is also very nice. The study room and gym on the first floor are quite clean as well. The soundproofing in the room is also good; I barely ever heard any noise from other rooms. The location is great too—there’s a Chinese supermarket and a British supermarket right downstairs from SG. You can even go out in your pajamas to buy things. Overall, I’m very satisfied! They also decorate for various holiday events. Attached is a photo of the Christmas 🎄

The room I live in is very spacious, the facilities are very new, and the decor style is also really nice and quite upscale. The soundproofing is excellent—I can’t hear what other people are doing at all. Overall, everything feels pretty good. The hot water went out once and the electricity went out once, but it didn’t really affect daily life much.

Pros: Good soundproofing; I’ve hardly ever heard any noise from next door. The shared facilities are complete and comfortable. It was clean when I first moved in. Cons: The water was shut off for long periods three times. The internet speed was quite fast at first, but later it felt like it slowed down.

I live on the 2nd floor of Building A, and the biggest advantage is that I don’t have to worry about the elevator. It’s also very cool in the summer and doesn’t feel hot even without air conditioning. The room isn’t extremely large, but it’s more than enough for one person. The facilities are all very new, and it’s still very comfortable to live here.

The location is fairly good. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the city center and around 15 minutes to get to the school. The room is fully equipped, and the kitchen has an electric ceramic hob, as well as a combined oven and microwave. It is on one of the upper floors facing south, with no obstruction in front, so the natural light is good. There is an overpass below, so it can be a little noisy when the windows are open, but the sound insulation is very good once they are closed. The soundproofing between rooms is also quite good.
