Bowland Hall, Lancaster University, Lancaster, LA1 4YW, United Kingdom –

Lancaster University: only 5 minutes away! (1,200 feet by foot)

I booked this property as I’m a doctoral student in one of its PhD programs and visit the university for one week only every couple of months . Staying on campus is convenient for me to have quick access to my leactures and the library.

Shaimaa, Egypt

Great location in the campus. Very nice room with breakfast. Really nice weekend. Would definitely recommend.

Jay, United Kingdom

Pretty simple accommodation. You are on a University campus so nice and quiet. Room was comfy even though somewhat dated....but clean and functional Budget style accommodation but very convenient for a one night stay Breakfast was sensational.,,,,buffet style english breakfast so if you like going back for more then this is for you Location is about 3 mile out of town so if no car it will be challenging. .....Happy travels

Kyriakos, Australia

Excellent location, access to M6, the Lake District. Although the rooms were tired they were clean and comfortable. Excellent price and excellent breakfast.

Annabel, United States of America

A good breakfast on site, but a short walk from rooms. Access to university bars useful as a little out of town.

Neil, United Kingdom

Facilities are small, very basic and rather dorm-like, but clean, well-maintained and convenient to activities taking place at Lancaster University. The breakfast included with our room was a short stroll away from our building, but tasty and plentiful. Loved the ducks that greeted us daily as we left our room for the day! :)

Kimberly, United States of America

The room was well priced for the area and the cafeteria-style breakfast had variety and was good. Although it was a bit of a walk from the car park, the building had a lift. Rooms were simple but quiet.

Elizabeth, Australia

It's a different kind of hotel, sleeping in a campus feeling in college again with ducks everywhere!

Javier, Spain

Reception staff very friendly. Room is very clean and nice. Nice selection of fair trade coffee, tea and biscuits with a mini kettle. My room included a hair dryer and an iron with board. However, lots of towels were provided which is a plus. Breakfast was excellent. Overall, excellent location if visiting the university and great value for money.

I know it was June and it should have been warm enough but it was a bit chilli and the radiator didn't come on.
Couldn't ask for a better location to meet my daughter who is studying at Lancaster. For the price it was excellent. Being vegan I was super delighted to have soya milk capsules in the room. Never had that before.

The fixed head shower. No good for shorties like me, which was a shame because water was hot and ran at a decent pressure. The general lighting in the room. The bed side lights were fine, but the position of the overhead light meant it was hard to read in the nice easy chair as there was no lamp or overhead light nearby
The room was comfortable, well equipped and the greetings tray was nicely set up with Clipper tea, fairtrade coffee/hot chocolate/biscuits and Moo milk. Lovely rural campus setting and, despite being close to motorway, the room was quiet. Pleasant greeting from a lovely receptionist Emails were clear and helpful. Breakfast was unexpectedly generous and varied - well set up for the day's journey ahead. Excellent value

The room keys we got in our pack were for the wrong room, one in another block, which we didn't find out until we tried to use them. A quick phone call to reception soon had it sorted out after a ten minute wait on the landing. The lady on reception was very apologetic but hey, these things can happen.
The breakfast was good but we went about half an hour before it finished and there wasn't much left to choose from.

Bed was really uncomfortable and my back was aching in the morning, you could feel the springs - not good at all. Wi-Fi stopped working, luckily had 4G. Had to tighten the shower pipe connection as it was loose and would have leaked. Breakfast - someone else had used my room number! Staff excellent and once I showed my key breakfast was served. The sausages had bone fragments in one of the two I was given, luckily I felt it before biting down, I suggest you change supplier. Bacon was rubber like in texture left it on the plate.
Booking in was excellent staff really helpfully, room size was ok.
