| Operator | Mezzino |
| Room types | 1, 2 and 3-bedroom flats (mostly non-ensuite, some en-suite Premium 1-Bed Flats) |
| Walk to Abertay University | About 15 to 17 minutes |

| Bills | All-inclusive (water, electricity, heating, Wi-Fi, contents insurance) |
| Standout feature | Large private gardens |
Lyon Street Terrace offers a genuinely different feel to a typical purpose-built hall, since the 126 bedrooms are spread across newly refurbished 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom flats that were formerly private rentals, with an average flat size of around 22 square meters. Rooms are mostly non-ensuite with shared bathrooms and kitchens, though Premium 1-Bed Flats offer an en-suite for those who want extra privacy. Every room comes with a bed, study desk, and ample storage, and kitchens are fully fitted with an electric cooker with an induction hob, a fridge-freezer, and a microwave. Rent is all-inclusive, covering water, electricity, heating, and Wi-Fi at 200 Mbps, plus contents insurance. Guide prices start from around £123 per week, making it one of the more affordable options in Dundee, so confirm current rates and room size at booking since sizes vary noticeably between rooms.
Lyon Street Terrace sits in a residential pocket of Dundee close to a good range of local grocery shops, with public transport just seconds away. Bridgeview Station Restaurant, housed in a converted Victorian station with estuary views, is about a 7-minute walk, and Beiderbeckes Bistro is 5 minutes away for pies, burgers, and pizza. Gallagher Retail Park is a 10-minute walk for shopping, and Slessor Gardens and the Desperate Dan Statue are both within easy reach for a relaxed walk. Baxter Park is another nearby green space. Erskine Street and Brown Constable Street bus stops are a 2-minute walk, and Dundee Train Station is about a 7-minute walk, useful for both universities and onward travel. My tip: reviews consistently praise the maintenance team here, with residents specifically calling out fast turnaround on repairs, a genuinely reassuring sign for a converted-flat building.
Lyon Street Terrace's strengths are its genuinely private-rental feel with real gardens to relax in, competitive pricing from around £123 per week, and a maintenance team that reviewers consistently praise for speed and reliability. The honest counterpoints, drawn directly from resident reviews: room sizes can vary noticeably even within the same price band, so it's worth asking specifically about your room's dimensions, and some standard rooms have smaller windows that don't open far, which can make rooms warm and humid in summer, so a fan is a sensible addition. Coin-operated laundry pricing is also set by a third-party provider rather than the accommodation itself. As always, confirm your specific room type and current price before booking.
Strong fit: students who want a private-rental feel with access to genuine garden space; those prioritizing affordability and a well-regarded maintenance team; students happy with 1, 2, or 3-bedroom flat sharing rather than larger cluster flats.
Weaker fit: students who want guaranteed uniform room sizes; those sensitive to heat, since some standard rooms have limited window opening and can get warm in summer.
