The windows of gold studio is great! It just took around a MONTH for the cleaning team to clean them! No microwave in the studio kitchen however some of the en suite kitchens got them! It’s great when you look down the window because there are beautiful construction sites and a huge area of black mud near the river, river views! The toilet is so tiny that when you sit there you will feel very uncomfortable. But take another thought, they are just so nice to design it that way so you know it’s time for you to lose weight, drop some fat off your bottom and it will be just fine! But for the tall people, you just don’t deserve washing your face in front of the mirror, the washbasin just don’t suit you, you can not wash in there cos you will get water all over the place! Bravo! You can never imagine the washbasin can be that tiny! The tap in the kitchen is the most old fashioned type , one hot water tap and one cold water tap. No temperature adjustments, isn’t that wonderful? And a little tip, don’t twist them too much unless you want a shower in the kitchen:)! Finally, the fire alarm;). The apartment seemed spend all the money for WiFi construction on increasing the sensitivity of fire alarm. Five false alarms a day, keep all your good moods away ^_^>~<! Don’t stay inside during evacuation, they gonna go into your room and catch you, if you get caught they will fine you!

Shared kitchens are lacking almost everything. A very small fridge & freezer to share between 5 (only 3 shelves), no microwave, no kettle, no toaster and no bin. A kitchen with no bin! These are absolute basics that you would expect to find at even cheaper accommodation options. Consider the above when looking at rent prices - you'll need to buy half a kitchen yourself. Rooms are decent and most of the staff is friendly.

Great student accommodation with very helpful and friendly staff. I live in the smallest available room (see picture) which has an en-suite bathroom and a shared kitchen. The bathroom is tiny, but offers all the comfort you need in a stylish way. There is not too much storage space, so many people bought an additional clothes rail or shoe rack. (Argos is within walking distance or there is a bus that takes you directly to IKEA. ;) ) The kitchen is quite big and has room for socialising. It comes with a microwave, but no kettle (can be easily fixed by buying one from a charity shop for 2£). There is also a TV. The only downside here is the kitchen table/chairs, which are uncomfortable in my opinion. All-in-all, it offers amazing value for money. (For comparison: the equivalent option in university accommodation would have been more than 20£ per week more expensive and in a similar location. Year: 2019) The common area has enough room to study, even during exam period there was always space available. Additionally, there is a gym, a "cinema room" (basically a big living room), a shared kitchen and many games to play (including ping-pong and x-box). There is even a tiny (self-served) shop. If you receive a parcel, it will be delivered to the parcel room and you can pick it up whenever you like (this is very convenient). The location might seem a bit remote on a first glance. However, being right across the street from Partick train and subway station (where you can also find a Morrison's) you can get anywhere in Glasgow pretty quickly. It is also only a 20 min walk from the University of Glasgow or less than 5 min to the Riverside Museum. I'd also like to address the reason why many people gave a 1* rating, which I do not think is justified: Yes, there were a lot of fire alarms and a few complications in the first 3 months. However, they were mainly due to the fact that the accommodation was brand new. I personally loved the fact that we were not allowed to use our hobs and as compensation we got 3 free meals a day. Especially because this was during exam season. As for the fire alarms, in the beginning they were quite frequent. It is my understanding that this was because the sensors were on a very sensitive setting which had something to do with the building being very new (which has now been changed). However, they were always triggered by the residents, so there is really no one else to blame.

I highly recommended booking here! The staff is very welcoming, supportive and friendly. There are always activities going on (now within the social distancing rules) so there is always something exciting happening. The rooms are spacious and modern. The accommodation itself is beautifully designed with lots of study booths, a gym and a large common room and cinema room. It is also in a very convenient location, close to supermarkets and the train station/subway and the riverside museum.

Very friendly, helpful staff and nice facilities. My studio flat was well appointed and had great views. It was a pity the flats were still essentially a building site upon moving in, and the windows were really dirty for many months before they were eventually cleaned. My bathroom had quite a few issues throughout the year which took a long time to fix. Overall though: a great location, and (once problems were sorted) a pleasant renting experience.

My time at Scotway House was during a strange time. My first year there was the opening year, in which there were many difficulties due to being a very new establishment and still being slightly under construction. However, my experience with the staff and management at Scotway House has always been excellent, as they always tried to support us, find and provide solutions to all the issues that occured. Furthermore, the building in itself after being completed is a marvel, the social areas are beautiful and cozy, making one feel very comfortable while studying or meeting people. The rooms, even the smaller ones are larger than average and do not feel like a lower-ranked substitute to living in an apartment. The location is also excellent, being close to two supermarkets, the metro and train station, and an easy walk up to the University of Glasgow. As it is right next to the active West End, one can easily get back in the evening without taking any means of transport. For anyone who is looking post-Covid a student dorm, I strongly suggest it.

Great location (several supermarkets within just a 2-5 min walk), spacious rooms with a lot of storage, many cool social events and everything you need for a great time abroad! The staff is super friendly, very helpful (solves problems quickly) and is really committed to getting to know you and making you feel at home. I feel so lucky to live here, thank you for this great time!

I have just started to live here recently and I see a lot of hate from earlier comments about the place being awful which seems a bit extreme. Its a well equipped accommodation and yes I have lived in fancier ones like Vita Student and yet I find this place nice and friendly. Initially, there were problems with the fire alarms going off at odd hours but I could see them working on that while making sure everyone was safe first. I have a gold studio and is quite spacious in regards to the classic studio I had rented in Vita. They have flexible payment options which works super for me. Overall, its well kept student accommodation that has the train/bus station and the major supermarkets close by. Every place has its ups and downs but this place does deserve more ratings. Its not home but you can definitely try make your studio feel like home, if you look at the all the good things the place has to offer instead of focusing on the short comings that comes from a newly established building. Its been a good stay so far. Thanks, BOHO. I am sure I will be able to drop a review like this at the end of my stay as well :)
