You’ll love living and studying in an area that’s tailor-made for students. Travel links include frequent bus and tram routes, with the city’s main bus and train stations close by. Students studying at Clifton, Brackenhurst, Confetti Nottingham, or the Mansfield Hub can also choose to live in city-based halls.

Good and reasonably cheap for such a large room - would totally recommend the slightly more expensive rooms as far bigger and better. Only issue is distance to campus but you do get a free bus pass

Stayed here for 2 years. It was a great experience, they hold socials in the common room once a week which is great for meeting new people. Also they have an easter egg hunt before the end of term 2.

I stayed at The Maltings in my first year as it was one of the cheapest accomms and close enough to the city for me (20-30 min by bus+ a 7 min walk). They have 2 common rooms and you can hang out in both, one has a more chill couch area and the other has a more sit down, working area, both with TVs. The accomm was well cleaned weekly (the common spaces in the flats) and there was parking space available. There was always help available with an app where you can flag down issues as well as you could just go up to the desk. There are 2 laundry rooms which you can use but you have to pay, and they keep you mail for you that you can pick up later, which is neat. The flat lighting and corridors in the cheaper phase looks a bit like a prison, but it was fine given the price. I liked the rooms but I always had a relatively small room before. There wer always weekly events that students led for people to hang out so there were always social opportunities if you didn't want to go into the city.

Far from University but by free bus path, it doesn't matter. good and bad in some cases but overall, acceptable due to the money you pay.

Stayed here for 2 years and absolutely loved it. As an international student, I felt very taken care of and the staff were all lovely, helpful and very accommodating to any problems I had. One of the cheapest student accommodations at NTU and the free bus pass sealed the deal for me. You can use the free bus pass on any Nottingham City Transport bus around the city and beyond. I will say the location is quite far from the city, but the frequent busses of 70 and 71 really mitigated that problem for me. There's always a staff member at the reception at all times to collect parcels/letters and I never had a problem with collecting them.

The only issue is that the location is far away from campus, although my time in the maltings has been amazing and there is more of a community and everyone gets to know each other. Great social scene, however Phase 1 which I was living in had more of one than for those living in phase 2. Despite the rooms being bigger in phase 2, the social scene for phase 1 makes it more worthwhile and i would recommend staying there for the year
