North Western Hall
* NORTH WESTERN HALL IS NOW FULLY BOOKED FOR SEPTEMBER 2011 AND NO FURTHER BOOKINGS CAN BE TAKEN *
Location
North Western Hall is located in the very centre of the city, adjacent to Lime Street Station and opposite the historic St. George's Hall - and it is therefore a great choice for students based at either of LJMU's city-centre campuses.
The location of North Western Hall within the city-centre can be seen on this webpage.
Facilities
A former railway hotel and listed building, North Western Hall has been converted to student accommodation with 250 study bedrooms organised into flats of various sizes, typically containing between 3 and 6 bedrooms each.
All flats feature shared bathrooms and offer excellent value for money given the central location, although they do not feature a large communal area. Each bedroom contains a single bed and mattress, fitted carpet, curtains, noticeboard, wardrobe, hand basin and mirror, work station, desk chair and easy chair. The kitchen contains a cooker, fridge/freezer, table and chairs, cupboards and sink unit.
The reception is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week with access control at the entrance on Lime Street. In addition, the residence is equipped with closed circuit television. There are a number of public telephones and a launderette is provided for the exclusive use of residents.
North Western Hall is completely smoke free and students are not allowed to smoke anywhere on the site.
