Glasney Rooms - Student Accommodation

Diese Unterkunft hatte nur zwei Vorteile: 1) Die Lage eignete sich sehr gut für Ausflüge an die Küsten Cornwalls im Bereich Fallmouth und westlich davon. 2) Das WLAN war sehr schnell wie man es bei einer Hochschule erwartet. Allerdings war unser Zimmer extrem dunkel und muffig. Es lag im Souterrain und über dem Fenster war eine Fußbrücke ins Erdgeschoss. Selbst tagsüber bei Sonnenschein mussten wir das Licht einschalten. Die armen Studis, die in so einem Zimmer ständig wohnen müssen... Wir mussten ständig lüften, da es nach Schimmel roch (allerdings konnte man keinen Schimmel ausmachen). Nach dem Einchecken haben wir um ein anderes Zimmer gebeten. Allerdings lief der Check-In über den Sicherheitsdienst und die Zimmervergabe über die Hochschulverwaltung. Letzere war leider schon im Wochenendfeierabend... :-( Die Gemeinschaftsküche war wie man es in einem Studentenwohnheim erwartet: Steril, etwas unsauber und irgendwie abgewohnt. Fazit: Für 90 € pro Nacht ist diese Unterkunft bei weitem zu teuer. Vielleicht für Gamer zu empfehlen, bei denen ein perfekter Internetzugang an erster Stelle steht ;-) Für einen Urlaubsaufenthalt absolut nicht geeignet.

The first thing to be clear is that this is student accommodation, in student halls. That said, it was very clean, fresh bedding & access to the kitchen facilities in the block, take your own tea, coffee & milk though. Towels are provided and the rooms have an en-suite. There is a shop on site and a cafe so you don’t have to go far for essentials. It’s suitably located for access to Penryn & Falmouth but unless you like a long walk then a car is a must but there is also a bus stop on site. It’s cheap & cheerful and does the job, just don’t expect the Ritz. I would definitely use it again

Lovely grounds and easy bus links into Falmouth and Truro. Free parking but a long way from the accomodation. Room was OK size but there was no kettle- needed to go to the kitchen to make drinks. Kitchen is good if you want to self-cater. Bed was not good- needed new mattress to be honest. Walls were thin- could hear person snoring in next room.

Excellent staff , lovely and clean , comfortable rooms

We knew what to expect as my daughter stayed there when she was at res so no shocks for us. It is probably more comparable to a private room (with a private toilet/shower) in a self catering hostel with a shared kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay there and would highly recommend it if you are looking for budget accommodation ... just don't expect any hotel luxuries. You obviously get the basics like towels & bed sheets (in case you were wondering). It is a couple of minutes walk to the car park. Having said that, you are allowed to briefly park outside your room to drop your bags off at the beginning of your stay and when you fetch your bags at the end. Everything else was 3-4 times the price when we were looking for accommodation so we saved that by staying here and used the saved money on other fun things :-)
