Nelson Place is honestly such a great place to live. The building itself is really modern, with great facilities and rooms that are comfortable, well-designed, and make it easy to settle in and feel at home. Everything is kept to a really high standard, and you can tell a lot of care goes into maintaining the place. The cleaning staff are especially lovely they’re always so friendly and sweet, and they do an amazing job of making sure everything is spotless. Nelson reception Nelson reception David, jonny josh and Ben they make residents feel valued and looked after, which is something you don’t find everywhere. The whole place just feels warm and homely because of them.

A Very Good Residence for International Students I really enjoyed my time living in this residence. It has many great things: a sky lounge with a nice view, seminar rooms for group work, a gym, a cinema room, a shared kitchen for cooking with friends, a laundry room, and TVs on the G and M floors. Everything is included in the monthly rent. I made great memories spending time with other international students. Also, the staff organize fun events every week, and you can join them for free. I highly recommend this place!

You know those rare places where the vibe instantly shifts the moment you walk in? That’s Nelson Place, and it’s entirely thanks to Jonny, David, and Ben. Honestly, these three redefine what good service looks like. It doesn’t matter how busy they are; they always make you feel like the most important person in the room. They possess a level of genuine kindness that you just can't fake. If you want to experience hospitality done perfectly, go find these guys. Absolute superstars!

Generally a pretty comfortable experience, rooms can be small (based on basic ensuite) but comfortable, have definitely had space issues and would question if the price of rent can be justified with how small rooms are. Unfortunate consequences of ensuite rooms is that you are at risk of ending up with one or more room mates who don't contribute to keeping the flat clean or are disrespectful of your property (would recommend labelling anything you keep in the kitchen or at least the drawers you keep your stuff in) Not a fault of Student Roost but would strongly consider booking a non-shared room if you aren't booking as a full or at least significant group. Hallways are often dirty. With vomit and mouldy food being left in a stairwell for well over a week. Also not rare for strange or bad smells to linger in hallways, not sure if due to poor ventilation or people not bothering to open their Windows after cooking strong smelling foods. During summer rooms, at the front of the building can get very hot, would recommend buying some kind of fan if you get one of these rooms, however this is much less of an issue at the rear of the building. Rooms at the rear of the building, closer to the ground floor will often have to deal with loud behaviour from outside, which often occurs late at night, with either loud voices, modified cars popping and banging and (one occurrence) council construction crews showing up with a jackhammer at half 11 at night. Again, not a fault of student Roost but would definitely appreciate some form of action, such as signage about quiet hours and respecting residents, on the outside of the building. Other residents are generally pleasant and willing to help you out if you've gotten yourself locked out or even just holding lift doors open. However, have has encounters with drunken guests (don't believe they were residents) being aggressive and looking for trouble, however staff quickly intervened and removed them from the building Staff at reception are generally polite and helpful, have had no major conflict with them, but have heard of others recieving poor treatment and disrespect from staff. Have had instances with temporary staff refusing to allow you to collect post, which can be frustrating when you are working early to late and need to collect urgent post only to be rudely brushed off by temporary night staff. (Keep in mind this is the exception and not the rule, permanent staff have been really helpful) One major downside is some other residents insist on walking barefoot through the building, with hallways that are cleaned questionably regularly (given the vomit, smells and mouldy food) and sitting with their feet on table and countertops in shared spaces (mezzanine and pool areas) with again concern about how regularly areas are cleaned Maintenance issues can take a significant amount of time to be addressed with talk of waiting months for toilet or sink repairs, and some maintenance jobs being left unfinished but marked as completed. Couldn't ask for a better location for an Ulster University student, with the building being at max five minutes from the Belfast campus, close to local nightlife and shops, such as a small Tesco (open late) located in one of the neighbouring student buildings. Have some concerns about privacy with some rooms having poorly places windows, either looking directly into other rooms or at eye level with the upper courtyard area. In-house gym is free to residents with excellent facilities and friendly staff. Would be wary of choosing Nelson Place due to price, room size and cleanliness of shared spaces, as well as noise concerns from outside the building. Would definitely avoid booking an ensuite if you are going in alone. And would keep in mind that rooms are allocated on luck of the draw. However is handy having housing costs reduced to a single bill and being so close to necessities, nightlife and uni

Nelson Place is one of the best student accommodation I would say. The place is very well maintained, organised and clean. I love the sky lounge... that is my go to place for enjoying the city view and throwing a party. The stuff here are too nice and friendly also very helpful... specially Alex, Jonny, David, Ben, Mr. Nelson, Ray and Martini. We also get a fluffy visitor occasionally "Obbey" who is capable of making anyone happy.. Staying here was a great experience for someone who is moving in to a different country or a city as this place has given a nice and warm home feeling.
