Basic, Smelly and Uncomfortable Halls of Residence

I stayed in room 317 and can only describe the smell as a public toilet. It was horrendous!! Thankfully the manager moved me to another room, however this wasn’t that fluid. I called reception to log my complaint and they couldn’t make any decision, they had to call the duty manager and call me back, which took some time. It is a shame the reception staff don’t have the autonomy to make guests stay better and more comfortable. I was then moved to room 307 and the smell wasn’t much better, I now had a cheesy feet smell in the room. But by this point I was exhausted and went to bed. Both rooms were akin to a basic halls of residence and not the kind of place a mature professional student would want to stay. Beds are very small and springy. The only good thing about the room was the shower, which was spacious and powerful. It’s also a shame that there is a lot of single use plastic in the room.

Extremely convenient, very clean, and well equipped with everything you need. A bit further out of Milton Keynes but I would rather stay here than at a Premier Inn. Quieter, cleaner and better value for money. Staff are also lovely.

A good clean stay.

Basic room, very clean and does what it says on the tin. Biggest gripe is simply how hot the rooms are. A fan is provided, but the rooms have no opening windows. I was disappointed that despite the booking containing two rooms and being booked months in advance, the rooms allocated were on two different floors. Overall, it’s a good stay and I would stay again, but I’d ensure I’d email ahead to ensure room allocation was as expected.

I really liked the place. would look to stay in the future. convient for seeing family whilst also being at the F1. missed the sign for the building and had to go round the back via the sat nav so maybe a slight reminder where the entrance is would help clean, staff was nice and helpful

Stringfellow Hall is a really good option for those staying at Cranfield University. There was one small thing on this hot day in early July - I had to keep the fan running overnight to keep the room cool enough..

A difficult start with a happy ending

Arrived at reception to find they had no booking for me. I showed the receptionist my booking email and that I had booked a double room for 3 nights and an extra night in single on the Thursday. I was only offered a single room for the entire stay which I went to see but the bed was attached to the wall and I couldn’t spend 4 nights there with my muscle cramps that’s why I had booked a double. They managed to sort it out for me to have a double for 2 nights and single for 2 nights as they were fully booked and if a cancellation came up then I may be able to have a double room and I changed rooms on Saturday The staff have been wonderful and I cannot thank them enough for making my stay so comfortable. The receptionist was most professional and resolved a difficult start. All staff I encountered have been very helpful and pleasant and will happily return if they will have me.

Decent Stay

I enjoyed my stay at Stringfellow Hall. It was a basic single room with all amenities. Because there weren't any windows you could open, I was relying on the Fan to keep cool at high temperatures.

Good value for money

A good value room which was clean, in good decorative order and well maintained. it was situated in a block of student rooms but despite this there was no noise from other residents; perhaps there were none. Unfortunately the room was a heat trap and so was very hot even when it was much cooler outside. It was not possible to open a window (although there was a "grid" that could be opened. Breakfast at Reggie's restaurant was very nice. I bought an evening meal there as well. The evening meal was fine but pricey because they charge non-students more than students. I would stay here again in the winter or spring but might avoid another stay in the middle of summer.

The good - Clean and well presented. The bad - Room was like an oven - with next to nothing in the way of natural ventilation, a fan was provided but just moved the hot air around. There was also little in the way of privacy - no net curtains or blinds. The internet was off for a solid period on the Sunday morning - Would have been OK but mobile reception was somewhat limited.
