Awful

I visited both my room type, kitchen and facilites before arrival so i knew what to expect with the quality/range of facilites.

As a first point, I cannot complain about the quality of my room, but I expect this is only because I am paying more money for a nicer room than the other people in my flat have been provided with. The quality of my room was fair, I don't have carpet so my floor did not contain the stains I've seen other reviews making points about. The bathroom was clean on arrival - clearly treated with respect by the last resident. There was quite a lot of dust but it only took 5-10 mins of cleaning, but I guess that's to be expected.

I find the kitchen to be too small, based on the fact that 8 people are expected to share it comfortably. Fair enough, we all have a cupboard each, but it is way too small to keep a decent range/amount of things in, and the fridge/freezer space isn't adequate.

I don't have a problem with my flat/room but some of the states I've seen friends rooms in is disgusting. Mould everywhere - bathroom, walls, carpet etc, which is more than what could have reasonably been caused by them taking that we've lived here two months.

My main issue with this place is the people living here and the staff. storthes is essentially full of jumped up, just turned over 18's with no respect for anyone else and who are literally just here to go mental. So much noise on a night when you're trying to sleep, or study, with disrespectful people slamming doors, blasting music so loud you can hear it through floors, and accross the place, and generally shouting/screaming before and after going out. The staff are unhelpful as well. I sent an email to one of the admins of Storthes and was provided with the helpful response of "I should have reported it at the time" - after having dealt with being woken up every night for over a week, I was hardly in the mood to go out at 5 in the morning and freezing cold and complain to security. We are treated quite frankly like children being patronised and the staff c,early don't care that much.

My friend has also had his room entered with no prior notice and fined a large sum of money for absolutely no reason whatsoever, which is an invasion of privacy and quite frankly theft.

Also, every Wednesday when the fire alarms are tested, out hot water boilers break and we are left without hot water until it is fixed. Surely they can come up with a way of testing the alarms without breaking people's hot water supplies.

I will not be returning next year. It's a shame that such a nice looking place is ruined by the people.
