I stayed at Castle Court for 2 years. The location is great as it's only a short walk away from De Montfort University and the city centre. For the most part, the bedroom and kitchen are pretty good. The common rooms are a nice place to hang out with friends. Events were also held in the common rooms which were great for meeting up with people and having a bit of fun. I believe that the main issue with Castle Court is its issues with maintenance around the building and getting things resolved quickly. During my first year at Castle Court, construction made things difficult due to the loud noise, blocking the view from bedroom/kitchen windows, and navigation in the car park when entering/exiting the building. This was definitely improved during my second year of stay as I didn't encounter many maintenance issues at all. However, the elevator in the M block was out of order over a fairly long period of time. The receptionists were friendly, especially Caroline who was always very approachable, willing to assist with any issues, as well as happy to have a conversation.
