Easy to find and good for the reunion of graduates. Great location for the motorway and the airport.

Unfortunately from previous reviews it appears that Aberdare Hall as a University Hall of Residence has significantly become worse than it was previously. I am currently living here and wouldn't advise any first year to choose this place to live in. We have had massive problems with leakages and even ceilings collapsing, which has ruined belongings of some residents within the building this year. It's a true shame the building has been let down to this standard as it'd be a brilliant building to live in if this wasn't the case. I understand that as it's a listed building you can't do much to it, but it should be at least maintained to a safe standard. Furthermore, the food on the catered package is, in my opinion, not worth the money. It has often been cold, dry and there is little to drink other than water (sometimes we've had squash but that has only been a small amount of times). There are also no sanitary bins despite being an all-girls residence and there being sanitary bins for guests downstairs, so be prepared that you'll have to individually bag your sanitary products up and place them in your own room bins. Despite this however, there are some pros to living here; there are relatively large rooms and it is extremely close to the city centre and many of the university buildings. Furthermore, the catered setting allows you to make groups of friends pretty quickly. Therefore in my opinion it's important that anyone wishing to add this to their list of preferred accommodation should choose the self-catered package, as you're in a much younger building where I haven't heard of any complaints since September, or weigh up the pros and cons of going part-catered (Monday-Friday, only dinner) in the older part of the building.
