Living at Copper Towers in Cov has been a mixed experience. Given that the accommodation consists of two tall buildings housing at least 200 people, it's shocking that there are only seven washers and seven dryers for both buildings—one of which has been BROKEN for over a month. Finding an available washer is a struggle unless you plan around peak and off-peak times, and the small washer sizes make laundry even more inconvenient.Breakfast is another frustration. While the food itself is good, availability is an issue. If you’re hoping for a quick grab-and-go before class, think again—food runs out in intervals of like 20-30 minutes, and refills take 10-20ish mins. This makes it impossible to rely on when you're in a hurry, and I’ve often had to skip breakfast entirely.Cleaning services are hit or miss. It’s great that rooms are cleaned biweekly, but my assigned cleaner seems rushed or uninterested. They wipe some surfaces, clean the toilet, and straighten the top duvet while IGNORING the rest of the crumpled bed... There have even been times when my room was skipped altogether, and another cleaner had to come in—who, in contrast, did an amazing job.Parcel management is eh. Anyone can walk in and out, and I had a package go missing once. Since it was only worth £5, I let it go, but it's concerning. WiFi can also be unreliable, and the smart TV doesn't load episodes smoothly at night for no clear reason.Now for the positives: The events are great and creative, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the building is well-maintained. The gym and common areas are beautiful, and the rooms feel modern and luxurious with a surprisingly comfortable mattress. These perks do help balance out the negatives, but for the price I pay, I expected fewer issues.
