The Brickworks

The brickworks accommodation in York, is amazing. Their is 24/7 security and cctv around the buildings, I always feel safe and it's clean. Everyone is very friendly and the maintance is good. Definitely recommend. The only downfall is the price.

I love living here. The room size is perfect (£135 a week) the showers aren’t very powerful however the water up here is very ‘heavy’ so you hair gets greasy quicker. The location is super ideal as it’s right next to Morrison’s and Asda and a 15 minute walk into town and a 10 minute walk to YSJ. 24 hour security at all times which makes you feel more secure. They also handle all your packages through the post so you don’t have to be in. The brickworks also organise free events for you some of which include alcohol. Staff are Very friendly and always wanting to help out when they can just drop them an email and they’ll sort it. The buildings are very modern and there is a lot of storage areas in rooms. Also bills being included is perfect especially in your first year as you’re able to keep your radiator on full blast through the winter at no extra cost. The gym has been updated with some more equipment. They are unable to have free weights due to health and saftey but have tried to provide other equipment instead such as resistance bands, exercise balls, medicine balls etc. There is a gym a 5 minute walk called Swift Fitness and another closer called The Fitness Space.

Brilliant accommodation, I am staying there for the full three years of university. Lovely staff and they are here to help constantly. Completely safe and clean, nice to have someone at reception 24/7. (But it is a bit pricey)

Although it’s expensive there are many pros to living here such as the gym, pool table, the cinema room and a tv in every kitchen included in the price.
