FAQ

Helpful arrival information

What time can I check in?

You can check in from 10am on the day that your contract starts. If you arrive earlier, we will always try to accommodate an earlier check in where possible but this cannot be guaranteed.

How do I find the welcome hub for Salford One and Salford Two?

Our main welcome hub is located as soon as you walk into the main building of Salford One. 

For check-in, we have a dedicated check-in team in both Salford One and Salford Two. Depending on which accommodation you have booked, enter via the main entrance for that building, and a member of the team will direct you from there!

Is there car parking at true Salford?

We have limited car parking spaces at both Salford One and Salford Two. The parking bays on both sites are strictly for those who have reserved them in advance for the academic year. Please avoid using these bays when you arrive.

If you are arriving by car, we have a small area outside both Salford One and Salford Two which can be used to drop items off kerbside, and then to be moved ready for the next car to pull in. We will have team members coordinating on the day. 

Street parking is available on King William Street, where you can park for free for two hours - however, parking space is limited, so you may wish to make alternative arrangements in advance. Please be mindful that council parking attendants may be operating in this area, so ensure that you adhere to any signage. Parking on a double yellow line may result in a parking fine, which we cannot accept any liability for. 

We also have cycle storage catering for up to 160 bikes and many local bus stops, plus a tram stop right behind our building!
