Location is all it has going for the place. Bang in the heart of Nottingham. There are 2 buildings Shakespeare, noisy and full of first years, Milton House, clearly the ghost town with internationl students. Manned 24 hours, this is debatable and the doors are never working, hence any old random can walk straight in. So no it's not safe and actually a serious incident took place in 2015. The place is tired and worn, very little spent to maintain the buildings. Actually my daughter stayed in the same flat 4 years ago which had a broken work surface and the same damage was evident when returning a few years later. Their charges are inconsistent and unwarranted, with investors lining their own profits and the cost of poor quality accommodation and possibly their staff too. This place has had more managers than i'v had breakfasts! I rebooked on the basis of a lovely manager who seemed to have the right attitude towards us and then she vanished, but staff seemed to be happy under her management and boy did she resolve my problems, professionally, relating to her son/daughter's experience. They need to retain these sort of people, especially as their is only one face worth keeping now - maintenance and a guy in security. Place is a haven for drugs, and little is done of late to rectify or stamp it out. Overpriced, poor quality furniture and disgusting curtains, which have not seen a wash in forever. Cleanliness is poor in all areas, not to mention the fire system or lack of. This building has only one way in or out so work that out for yourself should a fire break out. Opps I forgot to mention you're supposed to stay put in your room....Really?

Here is a list of reasons why this place is one star: Good points: 1. The reason it gains a single star is because its location is perfect. Ideal distance to town, NTU and the train station. You really couldn't get much better in my opinion. 2. The security staff are very good and friendly. Bad points: 1. Upon moving in they had no record of me staying there. Let me iterate a very important point, the accommodation staff have absolutely no conversations with the security. So when I moved in out of hours after being reassured by staff that security would sort the move in - it did not happen. They placed me in a random flat. Totally random. The place was a complete state, rubbish everywhere, fire alarms broken and hanging from the roof with the kitchen in a horrific state. The security guard then opened each flat door till he found a room that was empty and that was now my room. I then moved into my actual flat 2 weeks later. 2. The staff (reception not security, the security staff were very pleasant) are rude, incompetent have literally no motivation to help you with anything in any way. If you ask them a question they will give you a rude answer, presumably their ploy to get asked less questions. How they managed to secure a customer facing role is beyond me and a reflection of the wider company standards. 3. The accommodation (shared) is a rough and draining experience. The walls are very thin (I wish that was an exaggeration too). You can therefore hear everything. Everything. You will not be able to sleep unless by some miracle everyone decides on the same time to sleep. Not to mention the absolutely massive amount of noise coming from the road outside and people above or below you. Seriously factor in to whether you can live next to such a busy road! 4. The accommodation is hot. Oh so very warm. Buy a fan for the winter months and pray that you don't have to bare too long in the summer months. Not to mention if you leave your window open in Summer you will be welcomed with an infestation of small flies. 5. The laundry room is operated by Circuit. Need I say more. 6. Flats have doorbells - enjoy the constant ringing all night long when someone decides in their drunken haze its a fabulous idea to stand and press repeatedly. 7. Parcel policy is void of logic. If you don't have an email from them telling you you have a parcel you cannot collect it. Even though you know it has been delivered as you have confirmation of it, do not expect them to look. Also, I didn't receive a parcel till after a month because they couldn't look hard enough for it - I thought it was lost in the post. 8. Moving in - Main roads on both sides, with no immediate parking facilities - have fun moving in/out. 9. The bathrooms are not so much en-suites as they are little pods attached to the side of the room. For the price an actual en-suite would be nice. 10. There are 2 buildings. Trinity has security staff and the other which has an office for them never actually ever does. Hence, I found myself one morning avoiding 2 very drunk homeless people residing in the lobby of the accommodation.

For a quick overview read the bottom, I'm just really not impressed with the accommodation. I've been living here for 4 months now, it looked great on paper, good location, okay cost, good space and social environment but appalling treatment from landlord. you can only collect deliveries between 8pm-11pm (yes just those three hours) between Monday to Friday (7am-5pm on weekends) and if you are unable to collect within those days your delivery is returned to sender. In the contract it states "24 hour notice" to allow access to your room. I've been getting less and two days ago I got an email to say that "contractors will need access to your room today" and this actually meant they were already inside my room without notifying me. They also spent a week replacing my window then left it a month to fix the damage caused by the contractors. Now they are spending another week fixing my window. Considering I was away for the holidays for three weeks you would have thought they'd be more considerate and do it during that period when it wasn't disrupting me from using my desk space (meaning I can't do uni work in my own room). I've spoken to staff members a few times and the only person who hasn't been rude is one of the security guards. When I moved in the flat was damaged (I had to screw the cupboards back together), the floor was covered in dirt and rubbish so I had to hoover as I first arrived in September. Found a half eaten bowl of curry in the unwiped cupboards. Lifts are always broken which is so good considering you could be living on the 10th floor, admittingly it's usually the lift between 6 and 10 that's the issue. Overview : Rooms are not cleaned before you arrive so you will have to clean up two month old mess. Staff are rude. They don't comply with the tenancy agreement and are inconsiderate to tenants. Delivery collection only between 8pm-11pm. Maintenance is awful and disruptive. Lifts are always broken which is great as some people live on floor 10. But it's cheaper then university accommodation so you have to deal with it.

6 years on from the other reviews on this page and I believe the reviews are still as accurate. If you want halls that are in a good location for NTU then trinity is certainly the place however that is about all it is good for. The lifts are constantly breaking which is a major issue when people have large items to haul up 6 flights of stairs (and thats just to get to reception) and clearly is a major concern for disabled students who may have difficulty making the trip. There is very little atmosphere in Trinity if you're too loud in the court yard, you're silenced by elder students or security and even during freshers week the security were very stern faced about too much noise being made. Bathrooms are for the most part absolutely tiny, so small in fact that you often have to keep the toilet lid closed in order to not knock any items from the sink into the dish. The internet is a constant issue. There's often 'maintenance' on the internet however I fail to see what is being corrected by the engineers as more often that not connection is down or so slow that it is unusable. My biggest concern at Trinity however is the staff at reception. I have found them to be very rude, arrogant and self-centred. I have seen them talking down to international students rather than assisting them through the language barrier difficulties they face. Additionally, the staff can be VERY(!!!) glad happy to take away from your deposit without a reasonable explanation. Without mentioning any names Bro**a will slap you with a £50 charge regardless of whether or not there is an evidence of a tenancy breach. An example being where she claimed to have smelt smoke in our flat leading to a £50 charge for all tenants (£250 deducted in total) for something which was subjective! I would NOT recommend TRINITY SQUARE if you wish to have a true STUDENT LIFE. Gill Street has a much better party atmosphere, Victoria Halls is worth the walk, or Goldsmith Court if you'd like a reasonable room, quiet atmosphere and wish to be close to University.

I am an international student and was wary of coming to trinity square because of the reviews on this website, but now I am very happy that I did. As international students, we make big decisions but no reliable source of key information about how it will affect our lives. I go to University of Nottingham, not Trent, but my letters are in City Hospital so it made sense for me to live in the city. It is just 12 minutes drive with the Bus 17. I love Trinity Square because it is well located, modern, clean, friendly staff, fast internet....LARGE STUDIOS. Oh my God I had no idea I was going to live this large in the UK! I also love the 24 hour security. I lost my keycard twice in the night and it was replaced IMMEDIATELY! The concierge service is also commendable; someone is always there to collect your parcel, even during weekends. They put a paper in your pigeon hole to notify you. Lol, the lifts still break down. But they repair them in less than 48 hours. Maybe once every 2-3 months. Also, the social life can be a bit boring if you live in a studio because there are no communal areas per se or reading rooms. I also think the laundry is bit expensive 2.70 for washing and 1.40 for drying. I wish they'd do something about that. All in all I love my studio and I think the management is great. I had doubts before I paid for 1 year in full but no regrets now.

My experience at trinity square has been horrendous. I would not recommend these halls to anyone unless they are international, unsociable or deaf. Or all three at this matter.

What appealed me to the place at first, was its location. It is right in the centre of town, which of course is really convenient. But at the end of the day, you are paying £99 a week for a stuffy room (the windows barely open) and a chance to NOT meet people.

The security are useless and unprofessional. At the start of the year you have to fill out a form to make sure all is in check with rooms etc. By the end of the year my problems had still not been seen to.

I Highly recommend you do not go to Trinity Square.. and get your value for money by going to halls on campus, where you will meet people who speak english!!

I have lived in Trinity Square for 2 years, I would never recommend it as a first year accommodation as it is private and people tend to not socialize as much. (I'm 3rd year and spent my first year in Gill Street).

Another reviewer was right in saying that the lifts and constantly breaking down, and there are hardly any parties. Being social generally happens in freshers week where everyone generally comes out, then you find a group of friends and you do go out on a regular... But it isn't as social as places like Saint Peters Court, Sandby, Gill Street, Hampden, Glasshouse Victoria Halls, there is always parties going on there everyday.

But saying that the furnishings in the room aren't bad. You get 2 leather sofas in kitchen and large kitchen space, large Flatscreen TV with free TV license.

Cons - Crappy ventilation in toilet, Lousy security that mostly perverts lol, staff are also slow to fix things and generally receive a lot of complaints

Oh and make sure when you book you specify that you dont want a disabled room because with loads of my friends they found out that they got put in one if you dont specify you dont want it!

Its not as bad as it sounds. Most of the things you can live with and you really have to come see it to get the full picture. Its great for 2nd years/3rd years and I have a bunch of first year mates that like it anyway. It is the "posh" halls really.
