Manchester
student studios

Sanctuary Students has two buildings for students studying in Manchester: one on Grafton Street and another on Denmark Road. Both are close to university and college campuses, with the city centre right on your doorstep so you never miss out on the best it has to offer.

Whether you're attending a morning lecture at the University of Manchester, heading to a clinical placement at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, or exploring the city and getting involved in the action, our Manchester student buildings are perfectly positioned to ensure you're always moments away from where you need to be.

If you’re considering staying in a Manchester student studio, these student houses are a close match with everything you need to live student life to the max. 

In our student accommodation at Grafton Street and Denmark Road, you can still get a double bed, en-suite bathroom with shower and toilet, kettle, toaster, iron and ironing board, vacuum cleaner, wardrobe and shelves, desk and chair, and even a fridge and freezer. That’s almost the same as a student studio in Manchester, just without your own oven and microwave for cooking, or an extra sofa to chill on. 

In fact, that’s really the only difference between a Manchester student studio and one of our en-suite student rooms in the city!

Studios tend to have quite a small kitchenette, so you’ll be limited in what you can cook in there anyway. On the other hand, our Manchester student halls come with a large fully-fitted communal kitchen, with a breakfast bar, seating, and all the appliances and worktop space you need for prepping and cooking big meals! 

The majority of our Manchester student rooms are spacious with double beds and an en-suite bathroom, fully equipped with everything you might need for student life in the city. That means you get a comfy bed to sleep in, a desk and chair for studying, plenty of storage with a wardrobe and shelving, and your very own bathroom for a bit of privacy. Oh, and you also get super-fast 250 Mb/s Wi-Fi and contents insurance included in your rent so you can study online and stream movies with no interruptions!

Our student accommodation options in the city are comparable to other student studios in Manchester, at an affordable price tag too. Our buildings at Grafton Street and Denmark Road are clean, secure and well looked after. Both options have a shared kitchen and communal area that provide all the opportunities to socialise and make friends.  

While you may not get any cooking facilities in your actual room, our large communal kitchens are fully equipped with a fridge and freezer, breakfast bar, oven and hob, microwave, and plenty of worktop space so you won’t miss out on much at all!

When you stay with Sanctuary Students, you’ll also have on-site laundry facilities to wash your clothes, security and CCTV for your safety and peace of mind, and 24-hour maintenance on hand in case anything goes wrong.

Simply choose your preferred Manchester accommodation on our website, click the ‘Book now’ button, and follow the steps to create an account and secure your room with a £1 deposit. Yes, only £1! 

We'll guide you through the rest of the process, including the flexible payment plan options. Once we confirm your booking, you can opt to pay in instalments to suit your needs, depending on your contract.

We have various payment plans to fit your budget and accept cards, electronic, and bank payments for your convenience. Depending on your contract, you can pay using 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, or 11 instalments.

Not at all! You don’t need to be a student at the University of Manchester to stay with Sanctuary Students.

We are not affiliated with any particular college or university, which means our Manchester student halls welcome students enrolled at any recognised institution in the city, regardless of the university or college. 

Certainly! We encourage all prospective residents to arrange viewings of their future homes. 

Click the ‘Arrange a viewing’ button on our Manchester accommodation page, fill out the form, and we'll set up a time for you to visit and look around. You’ll have the chance to explore the building and a room to get a feel for the place. 

If we cannot show you the exact room you’ll be staying in, we’ll show you the closest thing to it.

All our student housing in Manchester is fully furnished and equipped with all the essentials you’ll need to move in right away. That includes furniture, many kitchen items, a kettle, an iron and ironing board and other necessities.

You’ll just need to bring along your personal items like bedding, clothes and any specific kitchenware you want to use. You can make the room your own with personal touches like photos and decorations, within reason!

Our Manchester student rooms can provide much of the same benefits as a studio, including a double bed, en-suite bathroom with shower and toilet, kettle, toaster, iron and ironing board, wardrobe and shelves, desk and chair, and a fridge and freezer.

The only thing you won't have is a dedicated kitchen area, although many students come to enjoy the larger communal kitchens offered by Sanctuary Students.

If you value privacy, convenience, and a community vibe, and want a more affordable accommodation option in the city, why not consider a large double en-suite room which offers almost all the same things? 

Our student rooms in Manchester are perfect for those who appreciate their own space but still want to socialise. They give you a space which you can call your own, with the opportunity for intense study sessions and fun socialisation in the communal areas for a balanced student experience! 

What’s more, we’re proud to be a place where people choose to live. By joining our student community in Manchester, you’ll be surrounded by a friendly, welcoming team and well-maintained facilities, with a fun-filled events calendar to help you make friends and quickly feel at home in our student halls.
