Simpsons Halls - Nottingham Trent University Accommodation Review My overall experience at Simpsons Halls was pleasant, with a few standout moments and one key concern for prospective residents. Pros: - The en-suite room was spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities for a pleasant stay. Staff was kind and helpful, and they addressed maintenance issues quickly. - Safe neighbourhood with adequate security - Fully renovated kitchens for socializing - Convenient amenities include on-site parking, gym, and movie - Relatively inexpensive compared to other lodgings in Nottingham. Key Consideration: The main disadvantage is the transport. While the halls are around a 10-minute bus ride from Nottingham Trent University's City Campus, they may not be perfect for students who prefer to stay near the city centre. Those who want close proximity may find the bus ride and short distance bothersome.

My only complain during my stay was that they could've put a bigger bed in the large ensuites. I really loved the neighbourhood as it felt very safe and homely. The bus stand was close by to go to the university and city centre. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and always looked out for the students. Nice view on the 3rd/4th floors and very warm rooms as well. I had zero issues with any utilities or had anything break down.

Although this is further out, it is brilliant value for money as you get an ensuite and relatively big rooms. The flats of 12 create a great way to make friends to ensure you find people you connect with.

Simpsons is honestly an excellent choice for my first year, and I will try to live here again for my second. I live in a flat of 11 (yes, that's a lot of people) but our kitchen is huge and fully renovated. It is a pleasure to spend time and cook there. My room is a large en-suite and all I could ask for. The neighbourhood is safe and beautiful, and I honestly prefer it over living in the center. Buses and shops are a 3-minute walk. Maintenance is really good and whenever something was wrong with my room, someone was there to fix it the same day. There are no common social spaces between flats and so the only way to socialize is outside or in each other's flat. However, it was still really social and every night there's a motive in someone's flat (even in covid). The only thing I hate is having to pay so much money for the washers/dryers. There are only 3 washers for the whole accommodation and I had to go wash early in the morning to find a washer available.
