Honestly all the self-catered accoms are nice

In all honesty, the nicest ones are George Eliot, Gowar, Wedderburn, Tuke, Butler and Williamson

The "not as good, but still okay" ones are Runnymede and Highfield court

The absolute worst one is Penrose Court, do not go there.

Yeah I’ve been hearing lots of people don’t really rate Runnymede. Can I ask why bcs that was going to be my initial choice but I might not do it?

Not sure, it's just seen as a little old and not as nice as the others

It's still fine though so don't worry if you go there
Hi,

We have a variety of accommodation available at Royal Holloway.

Runnymede: These halls are on the southern side of the main campus near the sports fields. Divided into flats of six to eight bedrooms, all bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and a shared kitchen/diner. Find out more here.

Gowar and Wedderburn: These halls sit together, towards the southern end of the campus. They are close to the Sports Centre, gym and playing fields, and a short walk from the Hub restaurant, other halls and the library. They offer modern, en suite bedrooms with large beds, and shared kitchen/diners. Find out more here.

Hope this helps!

Best wishes,

Just got confirmed that I'm in Penrose 😂 - tbh I don't care that much about living conditions. Any words of advice?

Are there room measurements available for Runnymede and is there storage space under the bed?
