The rooms and prices
Marketgait Apartments offers en-suite rooms within 4 to 5-bed shared flats, each with a shared kitchen and a private en-suite bathroom, alongside self-contained studios with their own open-plan kitchen and bathroom, spread across seven total room options to suit different budgets and space preferences. Every room comes with a spacious double bed, and the décor throughout leans warm and rustic rather than clinical, a genuine point of difference from some of Dundee's more corporate-feeling halls. Rent is all-inclusive, covering utility bills and contents insurance. Guide prices start from around £188 per week, with some entry-level room types listed from lower figures depending on the season and offer, so confirm current rates and room type at booking.
Location and getting around
Marketgait Apartments sits within walking distance of both Dundee universities, with Abertay University about a 5-minute walk away and the University of Dundee around 9 minutes on foot. It's also just a couple of bus stops from Dundee and Angus College's Kingsway campus, and the University of St Andrews is conveniently reachable too. Tesco Express and Lidl are both a 3-minute walk for daily shopping, and Overgate Shopping Centre is within walking distance for a bigger trip. For evenings out, Clark's on Lindsay Street, Westport Bar, and Duke's Corner (for live music) are all close by, and Dundee Rep Theatre covers a night of culture. Dundee's train station is about a 4 to 10-minute walk depending on the exact route. My tip: Marketgait Apartments' rustic, cozy interior styling is genuinely distinctive among Dundee's student halls, worth seeing in person if aesthetic matters to your choice as much as location.

The honest picture
Marketgait Apartments' strengths are a genuinely distinctive, warm interior style, a short walk to both universities, and a strong social offer with a resident's lounge and a separate club lounge with a pool table. The honest counterpoint: pricing across different listing sources varies fairly widely, from around £105 to £188 per week depending on the source and season, so it's worth getting a precise, current quote for your specific room type directly from Prestige Student Living rather than relying on any single third-party figure. As always, confirm your specific room type and current price before booking.
Who Marketgait Apartments Dundee suit?

Weaker fit: students who want completely consistent, transparent pricing across all booking platforms without needing to double-check directly with the operator; those who prefer a more minimalist, modern aesthetic.
