Nottingham Two: Decision Review
This review examines Nottingham Two, a student accommodation located on Midland Way in Nottingham. The property is managed by Student Roost and offers studios, one-bedroom apartments, and en-suite rooms. Its key selling points are all-inclusive bills and no deposit requirement. The city-wide lowest weekly rent for student accommodation is £86 (indicative — confirm with the operator), while Nottingham Two’s prices range from £137 to £266 per week (indicative — confirm with the operator). The residence holds a rating of 4.2 based on 120 reviews on the platform. The following analysis helps you decide whether this property matches your needs.
Who is this residence for?
Nottingham Two is a solid fit for students who prioritise convenience and simplicity. Its location just a five-minute walk from the University of Nottingham’s Jubilee Campus makes it ideal for students studying there. If your classes are at Jubilee, you can walk to campus in minutes, avoiding bus costs and travel time. For Nottingham Trent University students, the property is less directly located, but the city centre is reachable by bus or tram.
The all-inclusive bills cover utilities, internet, and contents insurance. This means no separate payments for electricity, water, or gas — one less thing to organise. The “no deposit” policy is another financial convenience. Most UK student accommodations require a deposit of several hundred pounds; here you avoid that upfront outlay, which helps if you are managing your budget carefully. The property also offers a range of room types. En-suites give you private bathroom facilities while keeping communal kitchen/living areas — good if you want social interaction without sharing a bathroom. Studios and one-bedroom apartments offer full privacy, suitable for postgraduates or students who prefer to live alone.
The price range of £137–£266 per week places Nottingham Two above the city’s lowest starting price of £86 (indicative — confirm with the operator). However, the inclusive bills and no deposit add value that may offset the higher rent. If you compare the total cost (rent + bills + deposit) of a cheaper room elsewhere, Nottingham Two might end up competitive, especially for en-suite or studio seekers.
Who should look elsewhere?
Nottingham Two is not the best choice for budget-conscious students aiming to spend the absolute minimum. At £137 per week (indicative — confirm with the operator), it is 60% above the city’s lowest weekly rent of £86 (indicative — confirm with the operator). If you are on a tight budget and willing to share a bathroom or live further from campus, cheaper options exist in Nottingham. The property also does not have a self-catered standard room with shared bathroom — its cheapest units are en-suites, which come with a private bathroom but a higher price.
Students who prefer a central city-life location may find this residence a bit removed. The address is Midland Way, which is near the Jubilee Campus but not in the city centre. For nightlife, shopping, and entertainment in central Nottingham, you will need to commute. The closest tram stop is likely a few minutes’ walk, but additional travel time and cost apply.
Those who cannot or do not want to commit to a long lease without checking the property thoroughly should note that the platform data does not specify a minimum lease term. You will need to confirm the contract length directly. If you are unsure of your study schedule or want a flexible short-term stay, check cancellation policies before signing.
What residents say
The property carries a rating of 4.2 out of 5, based on 120 reviews on the platform. While the specific review texts are not displayed in the current dataset, the overall score indicates a generally positive experience among past residents. A 4.2 rating suggests that most users were satisfied with aspects such as location, room quality, and management.

Price and value
Nottingham’s student housing market starts at £86 per week for a basic room in a shared house or a budget en-suite (indicative — confirm with the operator). At the lower end of £137 (indicative — confirm with the operator), Nottingham Two’s en-suites are above that entry point. However, the value proposition lies in the inclusive package. Typical bills for a student in the UK add approximately £20–£30 per week to the rent. With the “all-inclusive” offer, you effectively pay a single price that covers utilities, internet, and insurance. Add in the savings on deposit (typically 4–6 weeks’ rent), and the total upfront and ongoing cost may be comparable to or better than a lower-rent property with separate bills.
The highest price of £266 (indicative — confirm with the operator) applies to studios or one-bedroom apartments. These are premium units for those who want full privacy and possibly a larger floor plan. For the same or lower price, you could rent a one-bedroom flat in the private market, but without inclusive bills. Compare total cost before deciding.
Room type guidance
Nottingham Two offers three main room categories:
- En-suite rooms: Private bathroom, shared kitchen and living area. Starting at £137/week (indicative — confirm with the operator). Suitable for students who want personal space in the bathroom but enjoy sharing common areas with flatmates. Typically five to six bedrooms per apartment.
-
One-bedroom apartments: Private bathroom, private kitchen, and living area. Pricing from around £200/week (indicative — confirm with the operator). Ideal for couples, postgraduates, or students who need a quiet study environment. The premium over an en-suite is significant, so consider whether you truly need the extra space and privacy.
-
Studios: Self-contained unit with kitchen, bathroom, and living/sleeping area. Pricing likely similar to or slightly above one-bedroom apartments (indicative — confirm with the operator). Check the exact specifications: some studios have a combined kitchen and living area, while one-bedroom apartments have a separate bedroom. Your choice depends on whether you value separated sleeping space or a larger combined area.
For most undergraduates, an en-suite offers a good balance of cost and privacy. Postgraduates or students who prefer not to share a kitchen should consider studios or one-bedroom apartments.
Booking timing
Student accommodation in Nottingham follows a typical academic year cycle. Rooms for the 2026–2027 academic year are likely released in autumn 2025. The earlier you book, the more room types and floor plans are available. If you have a preferred studio or a top-floor en-suite, booking by December 2025 or early 2026 gives you the best selection.
The property does not require a deposit, which simplifies the booking process — no need to freeze funds. However, you still must sign a tenancy agreement and provide a guarantor or pay rent in advance if you cannot provide a UK-based guarantor. Confirm these terms with the operator before reserving.
If you are arriving for the spring semester (January 2027), availability may be limited. En-suites are usually the first to go; studios and one-bedroom apartments tend to have longer availability. Contact the operator around October 2026 to check progress.
For the 2026–2027 academic year, aim to book between October 2025 and March 2026 to secure your preferred price and room type. Late bookings (after June 2026) may face higher prices for remaining rooms or less desirable locations.
Frequently Asked Questions

The exact scope should be confirmed in your tenancy agreement. Some utilities like TV licence or personal property insurance beyond the basic level may not be included.
Can I choose my flatmates at Nottingham Two?
Many student properties allow you to form a group and book rooms in the same apartment. Check with the operator for group booking options.
