Also an Aldi is just across the street, makes grocery shopping easy. The wifi is free but either hot working at all or painfully slow.

Its a super friendly place to live with two blocks one smaller one and then the big tower building. The architecture is super cool, with nothing like it in Manchester! With its huge windows and amazing views of around Manchester. All the apartments range in different sizes from tiny to massive and are lovely inside with lovely features including modern bathrooms and great kitchens,and living space. There is also a great communal secret garden in-between the buildings which is great for those summer days and evenings drinking Rose wine and having BBQS. Its right by the Ashton Canal with passing Barge Boats coming up and down the canal most of the time. It has a lovely community feel to the place and we have a really good residents committee who likes to take care of this awesome place to live. There is also a great coffee shop in one of the Units called Vivd Lounge who serve great coffee and cake and do some special nights and do some great Thai Food. There is also a Barber shop, Tanning Shop and little convenience shop for that loaf of bread or sugar.

It's all slanted and angular, with the flats seemingly having huge window space and thus amazing views over Manchester. However, me and my girlfriend looked at one of these flats when we were moving to Manchester and flathunting and the thing is that flats exist in between all the ones with amazingly huge windows and views. These flats have tiny windows, and feel quite enclosed and small. The building is still incredible though, and it's situated within easy walking distance of town and right by the lovely Ashton Canal.

Excellent Hotel Apartments and a darn good idea! Arrived at…read more2pm for check in, was met by a very friendly and courteous receptionist who checked us in and took us up to the apartment, pointing out, fire exits and the like..certainly more attention than we expected, which is a good thing. On arrival to the rooms, the cleaners were still finishing up, which was a bit of a mark down, as the room should really be ready for 2pm. We decided to head into town to buy soft drinks and snacks to have in the apartment while we waited so it wasnt too bad. The apartments themselves are lovely. Nice modern feel. On entering the hall is wide and spacious, to your right is a lovely modern clean bathroom with a massive shower head and the deepest bath ive ever seen! bliss... Ahead of you is the bedroom, nice modern looking bed, the mattress was very comfy, nice spacey room. To your left from the hall is the lounge/kitchen area very nice again, soft squishy sofa's, flat screen tv etc, the kitchen was clean lined, dark wood, they provide cutlery and cups/glasses and even left coffee and biscuits, which is a nice touch for an apartment. If you're a smoker, pay the extra £5 and grab a balcony room as the smoking rooms are very limited. I certainly would not hesitate in staying here again. I enjoyed the apartment experience, i'll certainly look out for Premier Apartments in other cities during my travels.

I spent my first 2 weeks of uk life here, and it was not sweet at all. At first I really thought…read moreall the service apartment were like that here in Manchester, until I moved..... Once I opened the door of my room, I smelled curry, very very strong smells of curry that lasted until the day I left, the house still smelled like Indian curry. Which you couldn't really blame anyone cos there was no window excepted the bedroom. I tried to open the door at the balcony, but bugs came in. I think that's the reason why the smells lasts forever, cos they had no way out. The bathroom was nice and clean, there's a huge bathtub with a nice shower head. However, if you wanna have a nice hot bubble bath, sorry, you can't. Because the hot water only gonna last for about 10 mins, after 10 mins, the hot water ran out, and you have to wait for 20-30 mins to get some more. Alright, how about just a normal shower? Usually, there will be a bath curtains or a glass door so the water does not splash all over the bathroom floor. Well they have a glass door which covered the half of the bathtub. So basically you have to wipe the floor every time after you take shower, if you like clean. The living room was quite nice, there were 2 sofas and they're comfortable. But the lights were old and yellow(the light supposed to be in white color I think), so I usually turned on all the lights in the room then I can work. It's an open-styled kitchen, they have almost all the equipments you will need for a simple meal. But I think the oven was broken, a button or sth was missing, so I never had a chance to press start lol Or maybe I should have ask, but all I remember what the receptionist told me on the first day were just "you can't blah blah blah... Blah blah blah is strictly forbidden blah blah blah". Clearly they were more concerned about management then services. And people here never smile:( I think the bedroom was the only thing I liked about here. The bed was big and soft, pillows were firmed. There were 2 lamps on both sides of the bed, one was broken. Doesn't really matter, but just felt disappointed when you moved into a service apartment which had so many problems. There should be house keeping every week, but I only saw the maid once. So if you just gonna stay for 1 or 2 nights, it's alright here. but if you trying to find a place to have a long stay and experience the manchester city, I suggested not to come here, there are soooooooo much more better choices which are better location, better service, and most importantly, better room! With not much different price.

It looks like a 5 star hotel from outside and gives tough competition to Hilton as far as the height of the building is concerned (Of course if the rooms were like Hilton then the students living there would have to be billionaires). I have been here so many times, yes I still have tons of friends who are students (Thankfully post grads, no I don't hang out with teenagers and I am not a pedophile). My friends live on the 29th floor and the view is absolutely breadth taking and their flats look nothing like student flats I lived in. The flats are while, with modern furniture, bean bags, central heating and they have a cleaner every week (how I wish I lived here). They are 2 bedroom flats, more like modern apartments but there are also studios available. There is a gym and common room in the ground floor too besides a super fancy lift! The price is not much higher if you compare it to other post grad accommodations in Manchester and the location could not have been better! Seriously its located right in the center of oxford road, near all the pubs and walking distance to the university as well as city center (what more does a student need?) Verdict: Definitely the best student accommodation I have ever seen!

There are three blocks A, B and C. C block is the highest, B is second and A is the shortest, but the flats are pretty decent sized. Anyways I recommend this building for people who want to live in between the universities (oxford road) and the town (deansgate) because the location is exactly in the middle.

No. 1 Deansgate has to be seen to be believed. It was part of the redevelopment that took place following the IRA bombing and cemented Manchester's place in the UK's top urban dwellings. It is as a matter of fact the tallest steel residential structure in the UK and it's mighty expensive. Aptly, it was completed just as I arrived at university and it still overwhelms me every time I see it. It looks slightly more upmarket than that skyline-botherer Beetham Tower too. Gosh darn Hilton. Sixty metres high, fourteen floors tall, it's home to 84 apartments with a total of eight penthouses - four of which sold back in 2002 for a cool £1.5 million each. Nice! If any of us mere mortals were to be able to afford places in here they'd be box rooms and studios. Meh, alright for some. The places are furnished to the highest spec as one would expect, and with a 24 hour concierge this is luxury living and as central as can be.

Number 1 Deansgate is indeed a place fit for kings, and therefore not fit for me. In a…read morefourteenth-century analogy, the people that live here are the equivalent of medieval royalty, knights and squires. I am the equivalent of a smelly vegetable grower wearing a potato sack and covered in grub, probably with a strange disease such as Black Death. It is actually the tallest all-steel residential building in the United Kingdom, and the penthouse suites at the top of the building were at one point the most expensive residences in Manchester. Now a 1 bedroom flat can be acquired for merely the price of a small house elsewhere, at around £200, 000. Looks like I'll have spend quite a few years growing and selling quite a few potatoes, save a few golden sovereigns and then auction them for modern day money (unless Natwest will change them) before I can move in.
