Staying at Newcastle 1 made me feel like I was staying at home, with excellent facilities and timely repairs. And there are many activities at every festival, and the reception staff are as kind as family.

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.

I have been staying with students roost for almost a year, and I can satisfactorily say that it is one of the best students accommodations in Newcastle. I stayed three months at James’s point building, it was a very good experience, and later I extended my contract and moved to Newcastle 1 building; it is a bit farther from uni but the place is very nice and clean. The staff members at Newcastle 1 are friendly and supportive; they are available 24/7 and willing to help students with whatever they need. I would like to thank Laurie Mcmanus for her endless care and support for students. She is one of the staff members who always ensure that students are safe and having an enjoyable time. The staff members at Newcastle 1 are always eager to help students feel hone away from home.

I have been staying with Student roost for almost a year now. I have initially stayed at James’ point building for three months, and it was a nice experience, the staff were very friendly and supportive, and the place was clean and in a very good condition. Then, I moved to Newcastle 1 building, it is a bit farther from uni but it is worth the stay. There is a gym, entertainment room with ball table, ping pong, and other games. There are also a nice study room, communal kitchen, and cinema room which you can easily book at reception. The staff members work 24/7 and always on site ready to help students with anything they need. All staff members at Newcastle 1 are friendly and very helpful. Also, I would like to thank the assistant operations manager Laurie Mcmanus for her endless support and kindness. Whenever students needed help she was always there ready to lend a hand. She cares that students feel safe and she one of the staff members who helped students feel home away from home.

My stay with student roost has been great. The staff if very helpful and friendly when it comes to solving any issues. The social spaces are indeed spectacular. The cinema room is my favourite place to be at. Also they do extracurricular activities at the location. My most favourite was dog therapy.

Excellent accomodation, worth every penny. Friendly and responsible staff who goes above and beyond to satisfy your needs and requests. Fantastic location, close to the train station , shops and restaurants while being in a quiet environment. Amenities on-site includes a newly furnished common room, movie room, study room and a spacious gym with air-conditioning. Both stuido flats and ensuite are amazing, comfortable, clean and offers a great view outside. Some rooms even have two big windows, providing natural sunlight and abundant airflow all time all seasons. Events are held throughout the year, with welcome parties that lets everyone get to know each other, dinner parties, movie nights, cooking events, quiz nights, Lunar New Year events, barbeque parties all making Newcastle 1 the definitive accomodation that welcomes all, regardless of your background, culture to an enjoyable time during your stay. I am grateful that Newcastle 1 is the accomodatioI spent three years living at.
The staff are really what makes Newcastle 1. Friendly, bubbly, they always asked how I was doing! I had a lovely little studio with a great view. Place was spacious and quiet. Wifi was speedy and never cut out! This place was the best accommodation I've ever stayed at. Love from flat 42 :)
Iwona, Cris, Laurie and Lu are lovely people they helped me so much throughout my stay for 2 years. Definitely recommend great location too.
Every thing isok，and if sometimesthe staff can clean the social place is better
The management team is fab and so is The receptionist team Lu, Iwona, Craig and John always super helpful and happy to help with any queries. It’s been like a home away from home living here. I would stay here for my whole course but the price isn’t great compared to other accommodations
Very nice and friendly enivourment and kind staff
It‘s a great place that everyone is nice.
he accommodation is really good the only problem is that its like 30to40 mins away from northumbria but the customer service is excellent amenties are good
The most beautiful and comfortable place to live in ! I would definitely recommend this place and the staff is really friendly and helpful …so glad I booked my place here.
The facilities are fair enough and timly maintenance for usage. human-based management . The location is close to the campus and surrounded by several supermarket and parks, which can be accessible to the close parks.
You cannot find any better accommodation than Newcastle 1! They have excellent free facilities like GYM and studying room, enjoy your 5-minutes life circle in N1! It is quite near to Newcastle business school (5mins walk only) and the city center (15mins walk), traffic system nearby is awesome, 5-10 mins walk to metro and bus station! Facilities in the room are also sufficient. Most importantly, they have courteous employees and service managers, Employees come from different countries or cultural backgrounds, do not worry about communication barriers! Very appreciated their patience, policy transparency, down-to-earth service during COVID, it really makes me fell at home.
On the whole, the staff in the apartment are very enthusiastic, responsible, and capable of dealing with emergencies, which is worthy of recognition.I hope you will pay more attention to it.
Really a great treasure accommodation for the students, convenient ways to wherever you'd like. Also got the home-like stuff team to help you. 100％ recommend！
it is really great and I love the staff and the house's equipment
The location is very good. This place is a good stay for your student life.
The room is quite good and near the railway station. Facilities in the property is excellent and quite clean. Staffs are warm-hearted. It is the best choice I have ever made to live in Newcastle 1.
It is quite enjoyable to live here, you know, the price here is too less than the other apartment. And the receptions is wonderful, especially Lu, she helped me and my roommates a lot, thousands thanks for that.
I’ve lived there for 2 years. I’m sorry to say that household issues take longer than a week to resolve. The managers are not very kind.
I have experienced a good time here. The staffs are really nice. You can find the reception whenever you need. You can have fun in your spare time. There are gym, cinema, study room, and so on. It is a good choice.
1. Staff here came into my room without permission. I’m a girl but two guys came at around 10pm using their keys and without knocking the door. They explained that they ‘don’t remember there’s people live in this room’. Huh??? And the third one came last week in the morning while I was sleeping. Is it legal here?? What’s the problem with the staff here? 2. My bank letter and private things were stolen from the mailbox, and for two months. And this is because they took my mailbox key 3 months ago before I left this place. They suggested me to open the mailbox, and told me it’s ‘safe’ to let it open. Well but I lost everything, not even a Tesco vechour left. I told the security and the manager, but none of them tried to help find the stolen things. 3. I wrote complaint letters to the manager, but what I got reply is that their CCTV system lost the reviews. Not even an apology to me for the illegal breaking-in or stolen stuffs.
A very friendly team and an excellent location! The rooms and amenities are a great value for money and I really appreciate the small gestures that the staff dies to make us all feel at home!
Thanks for letting us know you enjoyed living with us :) All the best!
Pros Safe and clean accommodation,perfect location only 5 minutes walk into the centre. Staff really friendly and approachable. 24hr security making it feel safe and secure. Cons Noise of tenants above (if you’re unlucky) ,close to main road but noise isn’t an issue when window is closed. Overall really nice accommodation would definitely recommend.
Student Roost is a great place to live. The staff are friendly and treat everyone well. The downside I have found is you dont get much of an opportunity to meet with your flatmates beforehand and therefore expect some personality clashes. Apart from that its been a decent experience and a good place to live!
I have a good experience in Newcastle 1.
there are many nice staffs. Although it is far away from my class，I love there. Thanks for your staffs effort.
Thank you for your lovely words ! The team at Newcastle 1 will always try to make your stay a memorable ine :)
Staff are lovely. However, our flat has had a number of issues and some of them have not been dealt with as quickly as we’d like. WiFi is lightning fast when it works but it often cuts out which can be quite annoying and other times it will be on but run very slowly. Drains block fairly often too but that’s sort of par for the course in student accommodation.
I am very sorry you feel your issues have not been dealt with in time, we always aim to complete maintenance issues within a timely manner and priotise the most urgent - if you would like to come and speak to us about the certain issues you are not happy about I would be more than happy to discuss these with you. In rgeards to your WIFI please contact ASK4 who will be able to help you with the the connection.
Good facilities however the location and social side aren’t the best
Thank you for your feedback, we love our facilties too. We are sorry to hear you don't think the social side oof our accommodation is very good - we do have a quiz night arranged for tonight, please come down and join in. You could also sign up to our monthly yoga class or give us feedback on what you thought about our Halloween pumpkin carving and party.
Absolutely amazing, for what I’m paying in getting a huge amount of benefits and the location is perfect for me
Thank you for the lovely review, we are so happy you like living here!
Great stay! Its a very safe, neat and colourful building! When gaming i do have some trouble with wifi and getting on through LAN seems impossible! still great student accommodation!
Thank you for this lovely feedback, we want all of our reisdents to feel safe in their home. Please get in touch with ASK4 in regards to your WIFI connection and they will be able to help you.
a little far from the main campus, the WiFi is not very good
Sorry to hear you think we are far away, we are only a 10-15 minute walk from Newcastle University main campus and on a sunny day we think it is a lovely walk! We do have a cycle store if you would prefer to cycle to University which may be a little quicker?
lift is broken, it has not been repaired for one month, and the network is extremely unstable.
We are very sorry about the inconveniance with our lift. It is working but unfortunately their is a fault with buttons on floors 1 and 2 so it can only go to ground, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th floor. We are trying to get this fixed as soon as possible.
have been living in here for three years, and I would say I really like this place. The studio facilities are very nice, staffs are always helpful and kind. Will be here next year as well.
Thank you for this lovely review, we are so happy you want to stay with us again!
an amazing place to live, would highly recommend
This is so great to hear, thank you!
The staff at Newcastle 1 have been nothing but lovely to me since I moved in and I can not thank them enough for making my time living here so nice! The accommodation is all you could ask for and more... the rooms are ideal for a student, I have stayed in both the ensuites and studios. My favourite part about Newcastle 1 would be the communal kitchen, great to have fiends over to cook or drink before going out.
Thank you very much, we appreciate you leaving us two reviews:)
I have lived here for the past 2 years and couldn't recommend the accommodation more! Friendly staff willing to do as much as they can for you, a fab gym which saves a fortune on a gym membership and my favourite - the courtyard. If I was carrying on my studies from September I would defo book here again!
Great to hear, hopefully we will see you again at some point!
I have loved living at Newcastle 1, it is like a home from home, very central to everything you need and the staff always go above and beyond to help you.
Thank you for the feedback, this is great to hear.
Fantastic accommodation ! Myself and my sister has re-booked for next year ! the team is always very helpful, since from day one we felt welcomed and safe. the rooms are fantastic we are staying in a shared flat, the rooms are very spacious and the kitchen is great with loads of space where we are always gathering together to share our experiences. I can really say after the welcome party we made friends for life at Newcastle 1, we have already traveled with each other and visit each others homelands! We have everything that we need at Newcastle 1 without getting out of the accommodation, my favorite space is the dinner room so many events and international food we get to try ! We are also very close to all Universities, I am in Northumbria Uni and my sister is at the Newcastle College lovely walks around the city ! I will always recommend Newcastle 1.
Thank you very much for your feedback, we have loved having you stay with us, we have alot planned for next year too!
Not worthy. The worst student accommodation I have ever lived in.
Hello, I am really sorry to hear you feel this way. We always get great feedback from our residents and haven't received any complaints about our accommodation recently, please could you contact us and we can chat about your experience here and what we can do to make it better.
I would highly recommend these rooms to any students thinking of coming to newcastle, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and I always felt i could speak to them if i had any issues. The room i stayed in had a refreshing modern design, all the facilities you might need and was also very generously sized. The location of Newcastle 1 is perfect students as your 5 minutes away from central station and the dog and parrot (best bar in newcastle). All in all would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your lovely feedback.
Nice staff and the best one there is michael Thanx alot it was my best experience in Uk
This is great, we really appreciate hearing feedback about our team.
I had a fantastic experience during my stay at Newcastle 1. The staff are always happy to help when ever needed and the facilities they have are absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend staying here.
Grreat to hear you like Newcastle 1 and living here.
Great place to live, very central and a nice walk to campus and all the staff are friendly
Thank you for your review. We have loved having you stay with us!
I have lived here for almost two years now; I have thoroughly enjoyed my time so far that I have booked for another year. Newcastle 1 has a constant vibrant and friendly atmosphere. It offers great facilities such as the gym, large common room, car park, study room and my favourite cinema room! Its location is perfect as it is minutes away from Newcastle University and the city centre is practically on your doorstep. During the year, Newcastle 1 hold many events to get involved in which I can assure you are very fun (you won’t be bored) and great socially! Huge credit goes to the property and security team who are welcoming and make sure you are happy by going that extra mile! The maintenance team keep the place is always clean and tidy. They are also very prompt and responsive if anything needs fixing. If you are looking for a friendly and social accommodation with many great facilities in the city centre then Newcastle 1 is perfect for you!
We have loved having you stay with us! We will make sure to keep up the great maintenance and fun social events for your stay here next year too.
Very friendly staff, cannot beat the welcoming environment and all the events that they host for all the residents.
Thank you! We can not wait to share what events we have planned over summer for everyone.
I really enjoyed living at Newcastle 1 accommodation because it’s very lively, friendly stuff and great location.
Thank you! Our social calender is always busy and we are constantly planning new events for all of our residents onsite and at local places in the city centrehttps://www.studentroost.co.uk/accommodation/newcastle-1.
Love the gaming room and study room. It has a great gym and it's 5 minutes away from the business school. If you drive, it has a car park for students too.
We are glad you love our facilities. We now have BRAND NEW furniture in our study room which makes it more comfortable and relaxing to work in, cheap parking is always a benefit too!https://www.studentroost.co.uk/accommodation/newcastle-1
