   Living here is impossible. Last year we had no water and/or no heating and/or no electricity on and off all winter. Property managers promised they would have fixed the issues: new boilers! New gym equipment! More communication! We’re now in November, people just started to turn up the heating again and, of course, we have no hot water again, nor heating, the emergency service is non-existent. On top of this, the car park gate is broken for over a month, water leaks in apartments and corridors, there is a big rat colony where the bins are, washing machines still broken, a homeless person managed somehow to sneak in sleep in the communal area for few weeks, rubbish everywhere, general decay. I should have moved last September, but I was naive and I believed to their lies

   Westpoint is a great place to live with an easy commute to the city centre while still providing a peaceful living situation. They are very attentive to any issues that can arise and there’s always someone around to help

   Review of Westpoint Apartments I lived at Westpoint for 3 years. The first 2 years were okay, apart from one period of 2 weeks without Wi-Fi. But my last year there was an absolute disgrace. We had repeated problems with no hot water, no electricity, and no running water. Here are just some of the dates when essential services were out: Hot water outages: 2024: Sept 14, 15, 22, 30; Nov 21, 25–27; Dec 1, 7, 8, 11, 14, 20–22, 27, 30, 31 2025: Jan 1–5, 7–9, 12, 19, 26; Feb 1, 2, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 17; Mar 8, 9, 23 Electricity outages: 2024: Dec 5, 6 2025: Mar 31; Apr 1 Water outages: 2024: Dec 16, 17 2025: Mar 24–31; Apr 1 Lifts being broken: every week there was a lift broken. Despite months of issues, we never received any compensation. Even with all the problems they are keeping my deposit. Plus they want me to pay 430 pounds extra. My Appartements are thieves. NEVER RENT AT MY APPARTEMENTS!

   Amazing customer service all round. The second we arrived on move in day we were greeted and all our stuff was taken care off, it made the whole experience pleasant and welcoming, in an otherwise stressful day. Other than that the reception team is friendly and super helpful, especially Micheal and Lucy :). Also, the events that are put on for residents are really fun and enjoyable from paint and sip, pumpkin carving to socials. Any maintenance issue we’ve raised has been picked up and resolved promptly. Whilst there is a gap under the front door we don’t hear neighbours often (we are the last apartment on the floor so this could be why, but we still have apartments across and next to us and we don’t hear anything unless in the hallway). The washing machines in the laundry rooms can get busy at times but it’s never too much of an issue and we are able to keep on top of our washing, if it only means checking back a little later in the day. The heating is under floor rather than radiators but we’ve personally never been too cold for it to be an issue and it does get quite warm in the apartments regardless. I would recommend Westpoint apartments to anyone looking for an affordable apartment, it’s in a good area, really cosy studio type rooms and excellent staff. The open plan of the apartments makes it easily customisable to your needs and it’s only a 5 min walk to the tram stops into Manchester or Trafford and atleast 5 buses just outside the gate that go into Manchester. This is a perfect location for studying in Manchester as I attend a university there myself. This is mine and my boyfriends first apartment together and the whole experience has been nothing but perfect for us. Our only concern was seeing past bad reviews and getting nervous so I wanted to post one of my own because we personally love everything about our apartment.

   Stay away! Extremely disorganised and money-grabbing company. Their communication is very poor, the staff make it difficult to get in contact with them in order to shirk off any responsibility and they add illegal extra fees to drain as much money as possible off you. All this and the staff in the office are pretty rude too. The staff in the building (Westpoint) are even ruder and don't want to help (unless you are a young attractive woman apparently), their postal system is a nightmare (had several items go missing, including an expensive phone. I was just told "there are more than 500 people in this building" and totally dismissed, the concierge (Carlos Rodriguez) doesn't want to interact with tenants at all. You also have to hound them for your deposit back (leave a bad review and all of a sudden they seem to respond). They take zero accountability for anything and even try and argue back with tenants that have left complaints online! Felt unwelcome and a burden the whole time I was there, stay away and find somewhere else! The concierge Carlos Rodriguez was extremely rude to me from day one; rude, aggressive and arrogant. Absolutely shocking customer service, honestly never experienced anything like it, especially considering how over-priced their apartments are. Like many other reviews have stated, the appliances such as washing machines were in a shocking state, many of them broken and no where near enough to support all the residents. They also frequently promise you a certain room, then when you arrive you are given a much smaller one or a totally different one; and once again there is zero recourse for complaints. They have tried to shove as many tiny little studio flats into the building as possible and you really feel like you are packed in like sardines. The ventilation system is terrible and if one person is smoking weed or cooking the entire corridor will take on the smell and enter your room. The heating system was very temperamental, would be OK for a few weeks then would suddenly stop working properly and would be freezing, especially as the doors on each room had about an inch gap between it and the floor; meaning freezing air from outside would just blow in anytime somebody used the stairwell, as well as other people's cooking and cigarettes/cannabis. There was also often a horrible sewage smell that came from the bathroom and there wifi would be very slow at times. The local area is also pretty rough and there is very little to do. There is a rundown, tiny Iceland nearby, a few chicken shops and cornershops and that's about it. It is pretty easy to get into the center of Manchester however, as the tram stop isn't far. However, when I was there there were often gangs of teenagers selling drugs out in the open, middle of the day so didn't particular enjoy being out and about. The apartment block is also badly situated between two main roads, so be prepared for roaring traffic constantly going by your bedroom window and exhaust fumes. The building also isn't very secure, while I was there there were local kids/teenagers that would frequently gain entry into the building and hang around. I believe that Mapartments takes advantage of the fact that many of their residents are foreign students or people in desperate situations and aren't able to view their properties before they book them. Please be aware of the positive reviews on here; it is a well known fact that the majority of them are made by staff or friends of staff in order to boost ratings and cover the fact that the majority of residents are in fact very dissatisfied with their stay. Many of the people who have left positive reviews have left positive review on all mapartment properties; I highly doubt they have stayed in every single one.....

   Avoid, avoid, avoid! Had to book this place as with the Manchester student housing crisis, I had to take what I could find. Don't let these people take advantage of your desperation, Mapartments are a terrible company with some of the rudest staff I've ever interacted with. If you're a young student, find somewhere else. There's no student scene in Old Trafford and this building is not suitable for students at all, most people living here are graduates or people in work or even FAMILIES. The space stinks of weed and my floor stunk of cigarette smoke that came into my room. When I moved in, my apartment hadn't been cleaned and was mouldy, the shower drain was completely blocked with the previous tenants hair etc which resulted in a horrible sewage smell for the first couple of weeks. The security gates often break meaning random strangers can enter the building and steal. I couldn't take it anymore so I moved out, found them a replacement tenant who Mapartments GHOSTED. I had to contact the head of property management to even get acknowledged that I want to end my tenancy after waiting over a weekfor a response. Despite me finding replacement tenants, they then found themselves one who also lives at Westpoint. She paid her deposit, signed the agreement and handed the key in for her apartment whilst I vacated mine and then they ghosted her. So now she's currently living without a flat even though she's paid the deposit for my old one and Mapartments are saying I'm responsible for paying rent this month when they're literally ghosting my replacement tenant who would be more than happy to pay rent and move in. Disgusting company, would give 0 starts if I could.

   This place is a massive scam. Once you've paid your deposit they'll increase the rent price. Hardly anything works in this building, elevators, washing machines, mailboxes etc. Half of your apartment will break down within a few weeks of living there. If you do decide to move in against my recommendations, don't expect to get your deposit back at the end of your tenancy unless you're willing to take them to court. This place is an absolute joke and so is the management.

   A decent place to live, love it. Every apartment has its challenges especially high rise buildings like this one. The management should look into the lift system because only a single lift out of 3 available is functioning. That said, every other thing serves a need. The gym is fair enough, could use some lower body machines. The lounge is great. The concierges Michael and Carlos are world class. Packing for cars, damn too expensive. Overall a good place to live. Accessible to all the landmark places in this gorgeous city that I love and especially my club, Manchester United.
