Carpet disgusting
Pros:

Good points first: bed comfortable
Good breakfast
Shower hot

But the reason this gets such a low rating is the carpet absolutely stank. I saw it was new carpet in the hallways but the room carpets desperately need replacing. I tried dousing it with body spray to no avail, but it really marred my stay. I feel for the poor student that gets this hall in term time.

Pros:

The only negative aspect of the stay was parking, given that you advertise free parking and the picture shows a large parking area. Otherwise a cute room with enough of what I needed for a night away. Breakfast was absolutely amazing, thank you all

Aged and not great!
Pros:

The room was far smaller than appeared in the picture, halls are dated, bathroom is not well aired and not stocked even with a bathmat. Woodwork is peeling and room is stuffy, bed is small for 2 people and parking is unnecessarily far away when campus is empty. Breakfast staff and unfriendly and militant. Won’t be using services again and this is a shame as was really looking forward to experiencing campus and being so central.

One night stand
Pros:

Breakfast buffet was good. Countryside views were amazing. Very efficient check in / check out with very helpful staff

Cons:

Parking was some way from the halls on a hilly campus. Lack of parking near reception and it's not clear where to park prior to picking up a permit

Pros:

Breakfast was great - best cup of coffee from a dispensing machine that I've ever had! Great choice and range of foods on offer; all very nice to eat.
All the university staff I met in hall and on campus were lovely - informative, friendly and helpful. If I'd asked for a moon on a stick, I felt that they'd have done their level best!
Even at the end of a very dry summer, the planting around the campus was lovely - a huge range of plant species including a whole host of (to me) very unusual ones. I'd have loved a botanical tour! Was very pleased to see seed heads left as food for wildlife too.

Cons:

The very worst thing was that nowhere on campus would accept cash which IS STILL LEGAL TENDER in this country. This meant that I couldn't pay for my own carparking - or eat anything except breakfast - during my stay ... There was no advanced warning of this.

Pros:

Reception staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The check in was a little complicated because the building is on a hill so floor levels and room numbering took some getting used to.
