Luxury bathrooms

There is nothing better than taking a nice hot shower after a hard day studying! Our bathrooms with heated floors are modern, luxurious and super clean! We also like to keep men and women separate. There are plenty of washbasins for brushing your teeth, hairdryers and toilet roll! We have even put hooks and a seat inside the shower cubicle, so you don’t have to worry about running back to your dorm in your towel to get changed!
