I stayed in an ensuite room here, and I’m genuinely glad I chose this accommodation. The rooms are exactly as shown in the pictures, spacious, and well-designed. The staff is available 24/7 and they’re incredibly polite & helpful. They respond quickly to queries. A special shout-out to Laura..she’s absolutely the best and made my stay even more pleasant. The accommodation team also organises weekly in-house activities, which are a great way for residents to socialise. The property itself has fantastic common spaces – two large courtyards, a grand hall, dedicated study rooms, a library, and even a secure place to park your bicycle. You can also host your friends to stay over, which is a lovely bonus. Queen’s University is about a 20–25 minute walk, which I initially thought would be far, but it turned out to be completely fine and helped me build a walking habit. Overall, it’s a clean, safe, and well-managed place to live. Absolutely worth every penny.

It's a great place to live as a student, the rooms are quite nice and it's a beautiful building with a lot of history too! There is always a social event most days of the week and the staff are amazing and super helpful, especially Stephanie! You can always reach out to them if you have any concerns and I've had such a great year staying at John Bell House, will surely miss it :)

I had a great time living at JBH for 2 years, the accommodation has everything you need to feel comfortable and at home, complete with lovely staff that you can speak to 24/7. A special shout out to Noel who always has good craic and Tawny who was so helpful to me and my flatmates during our move out process!

I quite like residing in this organisations accommodation aimed towards students at university. Its near my daily objectives and my rooms cool. Staff are friendly like Mr Noel. And only thing i don't like is the circuit Go laundry. But that organisation is not affiliated with Student Roost.

John Bell is nicely placed in the city centre for easy access to stores and food. The events are fun and facilities are great. Steph is a wonderful receptionist and the kindest.

I arrived at this place on the date of my supposed check in only to find out that no one at the reception was there to manage my check in. They messaged me that 1) they would send my instructions 24 hours before, and 2) they have 24/7 staff. Both were not fulfilled and I was forced to wait outside for a 1.5 hrs. Eventually I had to cancel my booking and book another hotel. Such a waste of time given their comprehensive check in procedure.

I lived in JBH for a year. The studio rooms are good-sized. They could come with more cabinets and the hob could be bigger. Not easy for 2 adults! But the room itself and the bathroom and the shower were spotless. The common room is another great feature. I had the best time there, playing and hanging out with my friends. The location is awesome, easy access to everywhere in the city. But the best thing about JBH is its staff members. DUILLEANN And NOEL are the best people on the planet…absolutely helpful and kind!

The staff at John Bell House are really nice, especially Noel who was the first person I met there and checked me in and helped me out and the place has fun events and big rooms and is usually quiet. Aeon is also the sweetest night owl and she's so cool

Student accommodation. It was an old school. The building is very beautiful. Decorations, inside tge building, on the walls and the ceils are really magnificient. It has a grand hall that contains a TV screen facility and cozy lounge. It has also some entertaing games like dart. The building has 2 or more elevators. The building is secured to high extend as the main door allows access only to only the authorized persons.
