About this property
Finding student accommodation in Nottingham is easier when everything you need is within reach. A central location can save time on your daily commute, keep shops and transport nearby, and make it easier to enjoy everything the city has to offer outside your lectures. The Glasshouse Nottingham brings all of that together, offering modern accommodation in a well-connected part of the city that's popular with students.
Whether you're looking for a shared apartment with other students or a self-contained studio of your own, The Glasshouse student accommodation offers room types to suit different budgets and lifestyles. Alongside furnished accommodation, residents benefit from dedicated study areas, social spaces, fitness facilities and practical on-site services, creating an environment where it's easier to settle into university life from day one.
University life is about much more than lectures and assignments. It's also about where you live, the people you meet and how comfortably you can balance studying with your everyday routine. The Glasshouse Nottingham has been designed with those priorities in mind, giving students accommodation that supports both academic work and life beyond the classroom.
The residence offers a wide range of room options, from shared apartments with different flat sizes to private studios and one-bedroom apartments. Every room comes fully furnished, helping students move in quickly without the added expense of buying furniture before the academic year begins.
Beyond the accommodation itself, residents have access to shared facilities that encourage both productivity and relaxation. Study rooms provide quieter places to focus on coursework, while communal spaces, outdoor areas and leisure facilities offer opportunities to unwind or spend time with other residents. The Glasshouse student accommodation creates a practical living environment where students can feel at home throughout their time in Nottingham.

Staying at Glasshouse Accommodation has been a really nice experience for me. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and feel like a proper home away from home. The location is also very convenient, especially as a student, with shops, transport, and the university all close by. What I liked most was how friendly and helpful the staff were—they were always quick to help whenever I needed anything. The place feels safe, welcoming, and easy to settle into. Overall, I’ve really enjoyed living here and would happily recommend it to other students.

5/5 – Great Pick & Mix Event! Had a brilliant time at the pick and mix event! The setup was fun, well-organised, and had loads of great options to choose from. Alex and Tash were serving and did an amazing job – super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Everything ran smoothly and the atmosphere was really enjoyable. Definitely recommend and would love to go again!

I’ve been staying at The Glasshouse since September 17th, 2024, and overall, my experience has been excellent. The property offers a great balance of comfort, convenience, and community, which is especially important for students and professionals. The location is ideal—close to the city centre, universities, and transport links, making it easy to get around Nottingham. There are plenty of shops, supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance, which have made day-to-day life very convenient. My accommodation itself has been clean, modern, and well-maintained. The facilities, including the communal areas, laundry room, and study spaces, are all in good condition and regularly cleaned. I’ve appreciated the secure entry system and the friendly on-site team who are always ready to help with any issues promptly and professionally. What stands out most is the sense of community here. The management organises events and activities that make it easier to meet other residents and feel at home, even if you’re new to Nottingham. Overall, I highly recommend The Glasshouse to anyone looking for a comfortable and reliable place to live in the city. My stay has been smooth and enjoyable, and I’m glad I chose this property.

I've stayed at the Glasshouse for nearly 6 months and I've really enjoyed my stay. The staff are really friendly and do their best to organise great events every month. The location is perfect and the common area is a great place to hang out. I especially loved the cinema room. Would recommend this accommodation!

Unfortunately, my flat has had a very disappointing experience at The Glasshouse due to relentless ongoing construction work that has taken place just a few feet outside our windows for months. The constant noise from heavy metal clanging, drilling, and contractors talking throughout the day has had a significant impact on our sleep, ability to study, and overall enjoyment of the accommodation. To make matters worse, the windows provide very little sound insulation, so even with them closed, the noise feels as though it is coming from inside the room. The scaffolding has also completely obstructed our view for an extended period, leaving us looking directly at fencing and construction works rather than what we expected when signing our tenancy agreement. What has been most frustrating is the response from management. Despite months of disruption, the main explanation given has been that the contractors have not broken any rules. While that may be true, it does little to address the reality that residents have been paying full rent while enduring a significantly reduced living experience. We were never made aware that these works would last around nine months, nor were we given a clear indication of the scale of the disruption before moving in. Future residents should be aware that major construction projects can have a substantial impact on their accommodation experience. A real shame, as the building itself has many positives, but the handling of this situation has left us feeling that resident experience has come second to the construction project.
