Yes! We know that money can be tight as a student, so we make sure our accommodation stays competitively priced. Our all-inclusive rent means you won’t have to budget separately for things like Wi-Fi, heating or water – it’s all covered.

Worried about the cost of living as a student in Manchester? Our private student halls offer a more affordable option when compared to renting privately. There are no surprise costs or hidden extras here – just one all-inclusive rent that covers everything you need, from super-fast 250 Mb/s Wi-Fi and contents insurance to heating, water and electricity.

That means no stress over sorting utility bills or chasing flatmates for money. You’ll also get free contents insurance, 24-hour maintenance support, and the peace of mind that comes with on-site security and CCTV. It's everything you need to live safely and comfortably, all bundled into one simple, student-friendly price.

The cost of private student halls in Manchester varies depending on the room type, building and facilities, but all our pricing is displayed clearly on each property page. 

With Sanctuary Students, all rents are fully inclusive of bills, meaning no unexpected extras to worry about. Don’t forget our Manchester student halls also include Wi-Fi, contents insurance, building maintenance, cleaning of communal areas and everything else too. Prices are also quoted per week so you can predict prices more accurately according to academic term times and whether you’re staying through the holidays.

Whether you're after a budget-friendly standard room or a more spacious deluxe en-suite, there are affordable options available at both Grafton Street and Denmark Road. Our pricing is competitive with other Manchester student halls, but with added peace of mind that everything’s included.

When you stay with Sanctuary Students, the rent for your students halls in Manchester is fully all-inclusive, which means all your utility bills are covered (electricity, heating, water) so there are fewer bills to juggle and less stress when it comes to budgeting. You'll also benefit from free 250 Mb/s Wi-Fi and broadband throughout the building, so you can study or stream as much as you like without interruptions.

Bedrooms are arranged into small flats that you’ll share with other students, each with a shared modern kitchen and lounge area with a TV and sofas.

Grafton Street offers various room types, from standard single bedrooms with shared bathrooms to premium en-suite double bedrooms with a private toilet and shower. All rooms are set within fully furnished flats with a shared kitchen and lounge area.

At Denmark Road, all of our rooms are en-suite with double beds in shared flats. There's also a modern common room with a games machine that's perfect for socialising and winding down between lectures.

You’ll also find on-site laundry facilities, secure entry systems, CCTV, and 24-hour maintenance support at both sites, so everything is in place to help you feel safe, supported, and right at home from day one.

Our Manchester student halls at Grafton Street and Denmark Road are both situated close to campus, within walking distance of the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University.

Both Grafton Street and Denmark Road in Manchester offer fully equipped kitchens and lounge areas with a TV and sofas, providing a comfortable space to socialise with flatmates. You’ll also find on-site laundry facilities, site-wide superfast 250 Mb/s Wi-Fi, secure entry systems, CCTV and 24-hour maintenance and security support at both sites.

Whether you choose Grafton Street or Denmark Road, you’ll have everything you need to focus on your studies while enjoying university life to the fullest.

University halls of residence are managed by the university, whereas private student halls in Manchester like Sanctuary Students are run independently but still cater to students from all local unis. The terms Manchester uni halls, private halls and halls of residence are often used interchangeably. We offer the same (if not better) facilities and support as university-run student halls of residence, with a friendly team, great locations and flexible contracts.

With private renting, you usually have to deal with landlords, set up all the bills and manage everything yourself. 

At Sanctuary Students, we do all that hard work for you. You get a fully furnished room, on-site support from a friendly team who are always on hand to help, plus maintenance and all your utility bills included. You’ll also benefit from super-fast Wi-Fi throughout and free contents insurance when you stay with us. 

Our rent prices are completely transparent, too – the price you see is the price you pay, so there are no hidden costs to surprise you later.

Compared to private renting, where you'd need to arrange and juggle separate bills for electricity, heating, water, broadband and contents insurance, our Manchester student halls are very convenient and take a real weight off your shoulders!

Absolutely! We want you to feel confident and excited about your new home away from home, and we encourage viewings of our student halls in Manchester before you decide.
