I picked mine when picking the room. It’ll also be in your email once you pay the deposit

Is it a nice place I’ve not found one bad review pre covid. Only really about a ripped pool table and when there was a covid outbreak.

How is the washing facilities? Are the machines good.

I definitely enjoyed it which is why I stayed there for my final 3 years at uni. The staff are so friendly and helpful! No one enjoys getting up for a 9am lecture but my morning was always made that little bit better by a warm smile and a "morning!" from the staff at reception. They're also very reasonable when it comes to payments if there are ever any problems and they act on maintenance requests really quickly.

As for the washing facilities, they're pretty standard for what I've seen at uni accommodation and were the same as the ones I had in UoD halls. You pay through a phone app which also lets you see how long your cycle has left and you can look online to see how many machines are free etc. The cost can quickly add up but nothing outrageous.
