Location and getting around
Hub Students Dundee sits on Hawkhill in the heart of the city center, a genuinely short walk from both of Dundee's universities, with the University of Dundee about 5 to 7 minutes away and Abertay University around 8 to 10 minutes. Lidl and Premier are both about 2 minutes' walk; Rishi's Indian Aroma is right next to the flats, and Super Snack is a popular stop with residents. For a drink after class, The Counting House Wetherspoons is close by, and on quieter days the McManus Art Gallery and Museum, Camperdown Wildlife Centre, and the Mills Observatory are all within easy reach. The V&A Dundee and the RRS Discovery ship are both about 0.6 miles away, and Dundee Train Station is around a 10 to 15 minute walk, with Hunter Street and Brown Street bus stops right outside. My tip: Hub Students' central Hawkhill position means you can walk to lectures at either university without relying on buses, which is a genuine time saver on early starts.

The honest picture
Hub Students Dundee's strengths are its genuinely central Hawkhill location within easy walking distance of both universities, its all-inclusive bills, and a solid social amenity set, including the games room and communal lounge. Reviews consistently highlight the convenient location and helpful on-site team. The honest counterpoints: standard Wi-Fi is 50 Mbps, which is enough for most day-to-day use but worth checking if you stream or game heavily, and as a lively central building close to bars and restaurants, some residents note it can be noisy at night, so it suits students who don't mind a bit of city buzz outside their window. As always, confirm your specific room type and current price before booking.
Who Hub Students Dundee suits
Strong fit: students at either the University of Dundee or Abertay who want a short walk to both campuses; those who value all-inclusive bills and a genuinely central location; students who enjoy a social, games-room-and-pool-table kind of building.
Weaker fit: students who want a quiet, out-of-town setting; those who need faster than 50 Mbps Wi-Fi as standard.
