Alexandra Hall, aberystwyth

I have lived in Alexandra Halls for close to six years at this point and there isn't really much more you could ask for from an accommodation. The rent is the most competitive you'll find anywhere in Aberystwyth, the internet is actually gigabit, the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, and it's all right on the coast. When I moved in it was mid-Covid and I've had several personal issues since then (some medical, some academic, some just life things), at all times I felt like I could be frank to the reception team and was always accommodated when I needed a change to the existing affairs. I have rented a few places but Alex Halls is the first place that felt like they genuinely cared about my wellbeing. I could not recommend more strongly.

Stayed here in second year of uni in a classic en suit. The rooms are very spacious with double beds, lots of storage for clothes and other belongings (including large built-in wardrobe, under-bed storage, drawers and shelves). En suit was very nice, with a good shower. The staff was exceptionally friendly, making me feel very welcomed. The reception take in post for you, meaning you'll never miss a parcel. The prices are very reasonable, cheaper than the equivalent university accommodation; not as cheap as some student houses, but much nicer and more modern however. Highly recommended for students looking for accommodation.

Close to everything but not noisy, the rooms are clean and cosy, beach and sauna right outside the door, the staff are beyond amazing, kind, thoughtful and helpful, theyre always fast to help; i could not praise and recommend it enough. 4 years here and i wouldnt change a thing. Definitely recommend to students!

Kind of felt like they weren’t ready to open for students in September 2024. Lots of things were unfinished, scaffolding still up- wet paint in my room. All of our kitchen cupboard doors were hanging off🤣. They seem much more ready for students this academic year, it’s just a shame our year had a slightly worse experience.

Living here has been awful. The owners and staff are misleading and flat out liars. Building works were said to have been completed by the end of 2023. It’s now April 2024, scaffolding is still up. People are being charged full price for ‘sea view’ rooms that have had scaffolding in front of them for the entirety of their occupancy. This is wrong and false advertising. If you email any complaints you are ignored. If you speak to staff directly you’re told to send an email. It is laughable. The place is an absolute farce. All the window frames in the front flats have cracks and are fully open in lots of places meaning constant cold draft blowing into rooms. The flat was filthy when we moved in and had to be deep cleaned by ourselves. The showers are full of mould and kitchens stink. There is no communication as to when to scaffolding will be completely down or all works completed. If you booked here for next year I’m really sorry. If you’re thinking of booking here please pay the extra and just live on campus
