Reviews of Lancaster University 3 stars

Excellent location just off the motorway. Self check-in means it’s fine to arrive late. EV charging is available right next to the guest rooms (7kW, you’ll need the Amp app and your own cable). There’s a well-stocked convenience store on campus a few minutes’ walk away.

The rooms themselves are quite spartan — the essentials are all there but don’t expect more than that.

Breakfast was very good with very pleasant staff. Swift service and opened promptly. Rooms were close to where we were able to park fortunately as was a lot of areas closed due to works going on. Location of accommodation was very good for us too.

Bedside light did not work and the shower did not drain away so had to be ridiculously quick, which was not very satisfactory at all - had to keep turning water off whilst getting cold! Used email address to inform uni accom people on 1 August but no reply!

Area

Holes in curtains Requested fan none came Spring through mattress

Positive the ‘Market Place’ breakfast was good with friendly staff and a good choice of food.

Primarily smelt musty and damp (and so did my clothes by the end of the week) despite me keeping the window open. Broken shower head holder.

The cost and the convenience

Having to pay for parking. On my last night, some younger guests were still walking around opening and closing doors kn ghe early hours.

The breakfast included was good. Your typical continental fair, with lots of choice like fried options, fruit and yoghurt, cereal, teas and coffee. The surrounding campus is absolutely lovely to chill out in, there's plenty of eateries, cafes and places to chill (including a duck pond!)

The bathroom was dirty, the wardrobe had mold on the wall. It felt like a dorm room, rather than a hotel/guest accommodation. I'd expect a higher level of cleanliness for what you pay.

The perfect location for graduation ceremonies.

Great campus vibe

Location was adequate for the event I was attending. Breakfast was freshly made and no complaints

Was expecting the students union to be open on the Saturday. Understand that, as it's not term time, there would be different opening hours.

Good value for money, the room was clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast with friendly staff. Check in was easy.

The bathroom is a bit outdated but functional

The breakfast was of good quality and the staff were lovely. I was made very welcome throughout my stay

I was offered the opportunity to pay extra for a room upgrade, which I did. The money was taken but no upgrade was forthcoming. The price for a single room compared to a double is disproportionate as it is, so not getting the upgrade did come as a disappointment.

Lancaster University campus is lovely with lots of open spaces to enjoy. The rooms are really clean, and the facilities were fine for what we needed for our one night stay to visit the Uni. Breakfast offering is good with a decent choice which should satisfy most people. If you will miss watching TV, take something with you that means you can watch it such as a tablet etc as there are no TV’s in the room. The description makes this clear though.

You have everything around, the Uni facilities are just great, especially the Library. Open restaurants on campus even during the summer break. The breakfast was amazing! Really nice walks around and it's a short trip to the Lakes.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Excellent breakfast, good location.

Clearly dated interiors, ongoing building work, lack of free parking (despite main car parks being empty most of the time), rats - we saw several outside.

Check in easy, automated. Car parking good. Breakfast good. Clean room.

More milk. Bed was a bit hard. No TV.

Convenient location en route to/from Scotland. Quiet and clean. Straightforward arrangements once you understood where everything was. Decent breakfast.

Top floor room was hot overnight after a sunny day. Weak bedside lights.

I ate in various outlets on the campus and was pleased with everything I had. The campus is a very pleasant place to stay and feels very safe and secure. My room was very clean and comfortable for a budget priced room.

There was a misunderstanding over breakfast arrangements. I thought it was included but in fact I was staying on a room only basis. However this was resolved very amicably. I used the wi-fi provided and it worked well most of the time, but there were periods where it would suddenly disconnect repeatedly and I would have to sign in again. The shower cubicle had a flat slippery floor which felt unsafe.
