Being here a couple a years, I have gotten to know the incredible staff that make this place so great. They are truly dedicated to making sure you have the best experience possible. They go the extra mile and I truly have nothing bad to say about the customer service. The reception and maintenance staff will always quickly put to rest any issues that may arise. I would like to especially thank Laura and Toni for being so great and making this place feel like home. They go above and beyond and It’s always good to see them. My only suggestion would be for a bigger sofa in the kitchen.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Sam and Rob in reception are absolutely lush! I love my flat it's very cozy. Only thing I'd say is that the laundry is far too expensive.
I love the reception staff. I've had bad experiences in the past at other accommodations so it's very nice to have a pleasant time. Always willing to help or just have a chat about silly things. Sam and Laura especially make my time feel special.
Being here a couple a years, I have gotten to know the incredible staff that make this place so great. They are truly dedicated to making sure you have the best experience possible.

Laura is lovely, treats us all like friends. The reception staff always go above and beyond!

The accom is fantastic and staff are very friendly
The staff here are very rude and unhelpful.
Really unhelpful staff at the reception.
I’ve loved living at Quay Point since I moved in September 2022, it’s very clean the staff are incredibly useful and are always willing to help and are also very polite. The maintenance team are very responsive and helpful when issues are raised and they are solved quickly. The location is great and has everything in a mile radius of the building. However, the social areas are not accessible as the common room that is advertised on the website when purchasing the property isn’t available and is unclear. Otherwise, I have recommended this accommodation to other people who have now booked their room for next year and I have loved being here as it is very safe and secure with a lovely environment created by staff.
Brilliant location for uni and nights out, Social and very clean, rooms are cheap but very modern.
I have enjoyed my experience quay point I have been given the best roommates which I have made my experience great
great location and very friendly staff
Great location if you want to be out of the busy areas but still want to be near the centre and near the universities. Great 24hr security and maintenance so if anything goes wrong or if you are worried about something they will always be there to help you out.
Really good accommodation, chose to stay here again next year. Security also really good, always came when needed
Fantastic location, lived here two years on the run now! easy, and always feel safe with 24hr security.
Great place to live, great security, always someone to help, great value for money

Sound staff, sound facilities ideal place to go Uni and town.

Overall quay point is a great place to live, its close to the city centre and only a short walk from Northumbria Uni. It has been a great place to meet new people, despite not having many social spaces. However the reception are extremely helpful in any problems you have.
Staff are always attentive when needed for noise complaints and room was clean when i moved in.

Very good value for money, good rooms good kitchens friendly staff
Really good place to live as it’s close to town and the uni. Supportive staff!
Perfect location for Northumbria uni and a brilliant room layout. Flatmates are lovely and there’s enough space for kitchen essentials. Lots of under bed storage and wardrobe space which allows everything to be put away neatly. Circuit laundry sometimes doesn’t work which is the only downside about Quay Point.
There's no common area to hang out in, only the outdoor one but that's only a few seats. It's a good affordable accomodation but could be better.
Thank you so much for your review! We do have a big common area down in Quay studios that is for Quay point students also. Please pop to reception to get access to this when you want to use it :) Our new Cinema room and study room near the Lanudry will hopefully be opening very soon!
Welcoming and nice accommodation

This is my second year staying at Quay Point and I love it. It’s in the perfect location in the city and the social life here is great!

I lived there last year also, so quay point is very reliable and has a great living space which is worth the price! It is so close to Northumbria university, and even Newcastle so it’s perfect for all students. Right next to town and the Quayside, so nothing is ever too far. And it has an modern feel to it in the bedrooms, which most accommodations do not have!
