Q
Dear Downing, please can you reverse your ludicrous decision to charge students staying at Verde the full year of accommodation fees, including for those students who are now isolated a home because of Covid-19, following closure of Newcastle University and their advice to return home. Downing, my question is - do you have no morals? Disgraceful.

Perfect location, so close to town and all the shops, whilst being a 10 minute walk to the main campus. It’s close enough to still experience the city life, but also quiet. Rooms are well maintained and modern, walls are sound proof so you get a good nights sleep, always hosting lots of social events. The reception staff are amazing and go out of their way for everyone . Internet is great, never had any issues. Could not complain one bit, I have lived here for 2 years now and wouldn’t pick anywhere else, it’s such a great place to live with amazing friendly staff, would definitely recommend! Amazing value for money. Any issues are dealt with almost immediately!

Had a really enjoyable first year living at verde, one of the most modern accommodations in Newcastle and the location is literally right in the city, 2 minute walk from monument. Really good room size with huge desk and nice modern en-suite. The kitchens are also huge and very modern. Would recommend to anyone looking for accommodation! Very friendly staff as well.

Best accommodation in Newcastle City Center. I've been in a new accommodation during each year at Newcastle University from a university-managed one to private ones and Verde has been the best. Room is huge but still easy to clean; the big window allows fresh air entering and the fan in the toilet permits air changes. Bed is bigger than expected and the ensuite is just perfect Desk is big enough to have space for two monitors. Wifi could be better, I advise changing providers to have a better performance. Location is perfect, next to the computing campus and business campus; everything is within walking distance; it's in the middle between Monument, the train station and Newcastle uni's main campus. Customer service is the best, any time you need to fix something you can raise a ticket through the online system and the following morning you will have someone ready to help you. When moving out my stuff or even when receiving a parcel I can count on someone helping me with the boxes.

The staff are absolutely amazing! Both Emily and Claire have made me feel very welcome. As for location, this is probably one of the best areas to reside in, especially for Newcastle University students. A small Tesco is literally downstairs and the building is just minutes away from Eldon Square, town, uni & etc. On the downside, the windows are a bit small so you won’t get that much sunshine which can be a bit bleak sometimes. The mattress could also be slightly larger (it’s a 3/4, not a double). The wifi is not the greatest either. However, the worst part is noise which obviously isn’t the staff’s fault, but way more should be done by security about this. It’s sometimes completely impossible to sleep with drunk students shouting both indoors and outdoors throughout the entire night.

After a hectic first year in university, I wanted to live in an accommodation near the medical building where my lectures where located. Verde was one of the best options I had, regarding both money and location, and so, I decided to live there for this year. The amazingly friendly staff as well as, the services and the fact that everything was nearby - Verde is centrally located, next to Tesco express and only 10 minutes from the Leazes Park and 15' from the medical building and the sport's centre - accounted for my decision to rebook for the next year. Hence, unlike other student accommodations, Verde provides a peaceful and quite studying environment, while socialing is possible in the common rooms.

Had the most pleasant experience living at Verde this year, reception staff always lovely and willing to help, within good walking distance of both uni and the city centre, would definitely live here again. Facilities are amazing and could still be used during covid which was a bonus. Couldn’t really ask for anything more from an accommodation!

I've lived at Verde for 2 years, and it really feels like home. My favourite part of this accommodation has to be the lovely people who work here. They always try their hardest to ensure that your experience is the best it can be, and are just really nice to have a chat with whenever you go down to reception. The gym is great! As for the other common area facilities, I haven't used them due to covid so can't really comment. My room is big enough and the kitchen is a great size for entertaining. The location is great, equidistant between uni, town, and the train station, so you have everything you need within a 15 minute walk! I really couldn't recommend this accommodation more :) the only real downside is the Internet is sometimes less than reliable

Corporate policy abandoned students during the pandemic refusing to refund or withhold charging payments during the lockdown. Students were left in debt without being able to take advantage of the place they are paying for. Competing private accomodations did not have this problem. I would not recommend if you would like the peace of mind that your landlord has your best interest in mind and is not afraid to screw you over.

Refused money back during lockdown and rude about the whole thing despite accommodation buildings in the area offering refunds and support. Wifi goes down a lot. Socialising is punished. I wouldn’t be surprised if they found a crumb on my floor and took my deposit away at the end to finish off

Very good location and really nice reception. Haven't been to the social spaces nor had the chance to interact with other tenants. A lot of parties, but the walls isolate sound relatively well. The wifi works well on a phone, not as well on a laptop, but there's ethernet cables for that; however, if the internet is down, there's no signal and no way of getting internet connection. Overall rating- 4/5

I have now lived here for my 3rd year running. My experience here has been nothing but exceptional. The team at the reception and management have been very helpful and responsive to any queries I have had. Emily deserves a lot of credit for her hardwork and effort especially for all the support she provided for my flat when we were self isolating as well as many other general enquiries and times we needed help. Definitely deserves a pay rise! Jan has also been wonderful, she has tried her hardest to keep us happy and this is evident through the number of years she's managed to keep us! We're even planning to renew our flat for next year and are bringing some more friends in to replace friends who have now finished.

Don’t choose downing students. They are not giving the students who have left due to Coronavirus a refund - that’s £2000 down the drain and I’m not even there! Bbb

Please do not consider the Verde or any other Downing Student properties as University accommodation. Despite the country lockdown due to COVID-19, Downing are insisting that all students pay for the full year of accommodation, even though they will not be using those rooms, as the University have told all students to return home.

When first moving in, I found that the bathroom was not that clean. The type of carpet in the bedroom is not good as it collects hair and is hard to hoover. The hoover itself is not good and hardly picks anything up. However, bedroom is modern with good storage and work space. Internet is not that great, but what else can be expected with free wifi. Moving on to the kitchen, which is a good size however I did notice that it would be more helpful if at least a drying rack for dishes had of been provided for us. More storage could also be more helpful as 1-2 cupboards for utensils, food, and pans etc isn’t really enough. Don’t think this can be done but having another fridge/freezer would also be good. Didn’t use common room much but a great space to socialise, likewise with the gym. Halls management were friendly and helped with anything you need.

Overall I’ve really enjoyed my time at Verde. The best part is that it’s literally right next to both the business building and the FDC hall, where 99% of my classes take place. The rooms are also very spacious, as are the kitchens. It is a massive perk that each room has its own bathroom and shower. I would say you get your money’s worth here.

Staff are friendly and very helpful and entertainment facilities and events are well organised. Maintenance can sometimes be delayed although our leak has now been sorted. The facilities are always clean and we enjoy using the social spaces and attending events together, it's a great way to make friends in the building.

Value for money is bad and not particularly fussed about student satisfaction. After signing contracts and it being too late to pull out easily, we found out the building breached safety hazards, and the cladding was going to be removed. We were offered no compensation whatsoever for persistent disruption of building work which went on for 5 months, longer than they said it would. It went on throughout exams, affecting grades. Additionally, some of us had to have our blind shut all day due to builders being on the scaffolding outside out rooms.
