I’ve had an amazing experience at this student accommodation! From the moment I arrived, the warm and welcoming staff made me feel right at home. Bill, Nick, Sally, and Eevie are all incredibly kind and go above and beyond to make sure everyone is comfortable and settled in quickly. Their friendly attitudes and helpfulness really stand out. The informal parties and activities organized by the team are always a great time! They bring everyone together, and it's been such a fun way to meet new people and make friends. It’s clear they genuinely care about creating a positive, supportive environment for all the residents. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend!

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.

It is a peaceful and well-designed place.
Thank you for your review! :)
All of the facilities are great, and there are a couple issues but they’re all relatively minor and more inconvenient that genuine problems.
Thank you for your review! If you'd like to discuss any issues in more detail, feel free to pop to the office for a chat :)
the nicest accommodation i’ve lived in, all of the staff are so helpful and my room is perfect
Thank you for this lovely review :)
The staff are really nice and easy to talk to. There are a range of events that happen in the accommodation, which are really fun and a great way to make new friends.
Thank you for leaving us a review - we're really glad you're enjoying your time here :)
the accommodation is very clean and comfortable and everyone is really nice as well as its great staff and location
Thank you for your lovely review - we really appreciate it :)
private and cozy good for study
Thank you for your review!! :)
Good enough - maintenance is poor and some staff are deliberately unhelpful. Flats weren't cleaned prior to arrival and needed major work to remedy previous tenants (painting, new furniture etc) which was completed fairly quickly after we moved in. Individual spaces not maintained to a high standards, but common spaces (study spaces etc) are. Maintenance tasks like broken kitchen doors, fridge shelves, TVs are not a priority and are left for long periods or not done at all. Advertised "bike store" is just four bike racks exposed to the rain etc. Onsite laundry is very expensive compared with similar providers.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback - we'd love to discuss some of your concerns in more detail with you if you would like to pop to the office or get in touch via email. We do actually have indoor bike storage at the bottom of site. If you require access to this room, please let us know and we can arrange access on your key fob :)
So far its a very good, comfortable placee

Thank you for your review - we appreciate all feedback :)
The experience was great and the staff are all very accommodating
Thank you for your review!! We really appreciate it :)
My experience living in Glassworks for over a month has been amazing :) The staffs are very helpful and provide assistance very promptly. I reported a faulty bathroom door and they came the next morning and fixed it. I love the layout of the ensuite room - it fully utilizes the space of the room. There are many storage space - under the bed, beside the bed, not to mention the cupboard is pretty big as well. As far as I'm concerned, the common area is well designed - there are places for fun games: table tennis, snooker, table soccer as well as boardgames/puzzle, cinema room, and study area. Location is great as well - just 2 minutes walk to the bus station and roughly 10-15 minutes to the nearest train station (Manors). Closest grocery store is Tesco Express (less than 10 minutes) and there's a Morrison 15 minutes away.
Hi Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review :)
The glassworks is an amazing accommodation with great facilities! With the accommodation comes really fun events, allowing all residents to get know each other throughout the year. I really like this! However, the staff are the ones that truly make it feel like home. They are so nice and helpful even if the issue is minor. Truly grateful I chose this accommodation.
Thank you for your lovely review! We really appreciate the feedback :) Evie Resident Services Assistant
overall its a nice place to stay and i rebooked it for another year, its comfortable and the staff are nice people. only downside is the location as it can be scary walking home alone at night.
Thank you for your review! We really appreciate it :) Evie Resident Services Assistant
It was great staying at Glassworks. The staff was very welcoming and always ready to help. The hostel is very well equipped with basic amenities that cater for all the needs of everyday life. There is also a nice courtyard and activity area which provides a great place to relax and socialise. The hostel often organises fun events and there is a wide range of delicious food on offer. Overall, life here was very comfortable and enjoyable.
Thank you so much for your 5 star review! We're so glad you've enjoyed your time staying with us - Evie :) Resident Services Assistant
Overall I have enjoyed my stay at Glassworks. It's a great location for both Newcastle and Northumbria University, with a decent corner shop practically next door, and a few other nice shops nearby, including a Tesco local. It's also only a 15-20 minute walk into the city centre, with bus stops nearby as well. My studio flat is a comfortable size with plenty of storage. There were plenty of hosted events to socialise with other residents (all free of charge) and I can tell the staff work hard to make it a comfortable space. Maintenance generally responds quickly to any needs, and the security staff are supportive and friendly. The only downsides were that there was no gym space, and the lift in my accommodation was broken/unusable for most of my stay here (and I have lived here for over a year). Fortunately, I was only on the first floor, and the lift should be fixed soon.
Thank you for your review! We really appreciate it - we can assure you that the lift being out of order for so long was highly unsual due to various external factors that could not be addressed by our onsite Maintenance Operative. The lift is now in operation and we should not face the same delays again. - Evie :) Resident Services Assistant

This has to be the best accommodation so far in Newcastle...very close to the city center and also the universities.
Wow thank you for this amazing review! It's so great to hear that you've enjoyed staying with us :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Loved staying at this accommodation. The staff are so lovely and always down to help. Huge shoutout to Nick for being one of the best security!!
Thank you for your lovely review! I will be sure to pass your comments over to Nick :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
I've enjoyed my stay at the Glassworks, it's in a great location, the rooms are nice with only minor issues. The maintenance is on point, with problems being resolved really promptly. The staff is mostly very nice but a few interactions I've had were less than pleasant, so I can't rate it 5 stars. Awesome social spaces, a pool table and table tennis are great, and the cinema room is cool, but my favourite is the bookable unique private dining area, which is perfect for getting a group of friends round for a dinner. The one thing I have a major issue with though is the Wi-Fi. It's spotty, simple actions take me longer than expected, but I can deal with those in a temporary student accommodation. What's much worse is that the Wi-Fi is unprotected and publicly available, so anyone can connect to it, even if they don't live there. It's a cyber accident waiting to happen and I would be scared to use it without a VPN. You also need to regularly re-sign-in which is extremely inconvenient.
Thanks for your review! We're very sorry to hear that you have not been satisfied by your interactions with the team, if you would like to come and speak to us in the office to discuss this in more detail - please do! We are so glad that you like the amenities that our site provides and that you have been able to have a comfortable stay with us. With regard to your feedback on our wi-fi, this is something that we will definitely look into resolving. - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Great accommodation site team are lovely
Thank you for your lovely review!! I'll be sure to pass your comments over to the rest of the team. - Evie :)
This accommodation is in an ideal location - a 15 minute walk into town, but also has lots of bars and nice walks just round the corner in Ouseburn. The staff here are so lovely and helpful, and the rooms are lovely - I’d definitely recommend living here !!
Thank you so much for your 5 star review!! It's always wonderful to know you're enjoying your stay with us :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Is good Good value for money Internet has its problems sometimes and sometimes the Alarms go off randomly for hours at a time
Thank you for your review! We really appreciate all feedback. To our knowledge, we have only had one incident with the alarm on one of our external lifts, which was promptly addressed as soon as it came to our attention. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by this, as we are aware it took our contractors a little while to shut the alarm off, however, it would be great if you came into the office to discuss the other alarms that you mentioned as we are keen to get to the bottom of this. Evie Customer Service Advisor
Currently living here through my 2nd year of studying. Relatively quiet for a student accommodation which is great when you have early starts. Good facilities and huge space for studying which always stays quiet and clean. Good location and my studio has ample storage :)
Thank you for your review! That's amazing to hear that you're enjoying staying with us. We really pride ourselves on the maintenance and cleanliness of our site as well as the storage space that our rooms offer, so to hear that reflected in your review is really appreciated :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Honestly no complaints, well kept and nice
Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Overall glassworks is nice place to stay in
Thank you for this lovely review!! :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Would recommend as it's quite nice and comfortable in a decent location. However, the lift in my section has been broken essentially entire year I've lived here, and the renovation to the reception has made it a little bit more separate and isolating as I'm never sure who's in (but it's understandable for GDPR). Thank you!
Thank you for your review!! We can only apologise for the out-of-service lift in your building, but trust we are doing everything in our ability to get this resolved as a matter of priority. Although our reception now has a partition, please be assured that we are always around to help. We always try to give notification of when we will be out of office for a while, so if the front desk is empty and you haven't heard from us, we should only be around a couple of minutes before seeing to you :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
it’s sooo nice, room is big enough and close to Morrisons!!! All stuffs are really nice and always try their best to help me!!
Thank you for your five star review!!! We're always happy to help resolve any queries you might have :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
The only flaw is that the elevator in my apartment has been broken more than one month and didn’t fix yet.
Thank you for your review - we appreciate all feedback :) We can only apologise for the broken lift in your building, we are doing everything in our ability to get this resolved as soon as possible! - Evie Customer Service Advisor
great staff and perfect for first accommodation!
Thanks for your review, we're so glad you've enjoyed staying with us :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Glassworks is an accommodation that can be considered average, neither too good nor too bad. On the positive side, my studio is well-designed and new, with good lighting and plenty of storage space. Moreover, the location of the accommodation is also convenient. Additionally, some of the staff members are friendly and helpful. However, I have encountered a couple of issues during my stay at Glassworks. Firstly, the lift has not been working for over a year now, which can be inconvenient at times. Secondly, the number of washing machines available in the laundry area is not sufficient for the number of people living here, leading to long waiting times.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback! - Evie
I enjoy living at the glassworks, great appliances and friendly helpful and patient staff. Plenty comfortable social spaces. And location is prime distance from university.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're always happy to help and want to make your time with us as comfortable as possible! :) - Evie
Overall great location, staff, room and view! Only issue is the elevator has been broken since moving in (3 months). This has been especially difficult being on the 4th floor and having a partner who is disabled.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback! We can only apologise for the inconvenience caused by the out-of-service lift, but trust that we are doing everything within our abilities to get this fixed as a matter of priority. - Evie :)
Minor flaws but overall good for the price.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate all feedback :) - Evie
it is good overall,just a little bit far from uni
Thank you for the feedback but please let us know what we can do to get from good to great! Let us know if you need anything. Tom Property Manager
Glassworks is a fantastic place to live in especially for overseas students as it offers range of events and social gatherings to chill, proper sanitation and maintenance all at economical pricing!!!!

Happy with the accommodation, the team have been helpful & kind when i first moved in. The accommodation is close to Northumbria university but slightly further to Newcastle university. I really enjoyed the welcome drinks event & met a lot of other students. I would recommend the Glassworks to anyone looking for a spacious room with good facilities & staff on hand to help.
Thanks for your review!! We really appreciate the feedback and we're so glad you've made yourself at home here :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
I had an exceptional experience during my stay at Prestige Student Living The Glassworks, thanks to the incredible team managing the property. Sally Davison, the accommodation manager, went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and welcoming environment for all residents at The Glassworks. Her dedication, prompt responses, and friendly demeanor truly made a difference in making the place feel like a second home. I would also like to commend Bill, the property maintenance head at The Glassworks, for his outstanding efforts in maintaining the facility. The premises were always in top-notch condition, and any issues were addressed swiftly thanks to his expertise and commitment to excellence. Additionally, the housekeeping and property maintenance staff at The Glassworks deserve special recognition for their hard work and dedication. Their attention to detail and efforts in keeping the accommodation clean and well-maintained were greatly appreciated.
The Glassworks Prestige Student Living in Newcastle truly exceeded expectations. From the moment I inquired about their accommodations, their attentive team displayed exceptional professionalism. The booking process was seamless, and they promptly addressed all my queries regarding accommodation payments. Their dedication to customer service is evident in their thorough and timely responses. It's clear that they prioritize a comfortable and worry-free experience for their residents. The Glassworks Prestige Student Living in Newcastle is an exceptional accommodation option that truly stands out. The attention to detail in design and furnishings creates an inviting and luxurious ambiance. The modern amenities and facilities provided cater to the needs of students, fostering a comfortable and convenient living experience.
Wonderful Management team. Very warm and welcoming. Good location with easy transportation access to anywhere.
I cannot speak highly enough of the accommodation and especially the staff - they are amazing - so friendly and always available to help or have a conversation with. The studio I have is well-equipped, quiet, safe and facilitates my studies. The location is perfect - close to artsy Ouseburn, the quayside, and only a very nice 20 minute walk to Newcastle University. Shops (Morrison's, Tesco, Sainsbury's) are close by, and it's only a 15 minute walk to shopping on Northumbria Street.
I so much enjoyed my time in the accommodation, made amazing friends , in a short time . The rooms are very big and nice so as comfy , the location is amazing because it’s in the heart of ouseburn which a pretty much student small town , management are so friendly and nice. I so recommend it
It’s been such a great experience living here for the past year. Sally, Kayleigh, Bill and all the other staff have been extremely helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to live in a safe space (there’s staff on site 24/7), with lots of social activities. There are also freebies (snacks, bottles, drinks etc) available for the residents every now and then, which is honestly a really nice perk. It is also close to both Northumbria and Newcastle Universities. Ouseburn is a lovely area to live in :)
I began living at the Glassworks later than most, so I ended up paying far more. Ultimately, the Glassworks is a fantastic accommodation with plenty of amenities and very friendly staff. The only real issues faced whilst living here were the issues with occasional rubbish pile up over the weekend (though in speaking to staff, this is on the rubbish collection company) and with the lift in my building being out for 2 months. Overall, communication is very good and the staff are always keen to say hello. A lovely place to live.
Lived in glassworks now for a few months after needing somewhere last minute to stay. I can’t fault the place, staff are so accommodating and nothing is ever to much. Staff are lovely, rooms are amazing. Wish I could stay longer.
Thank you for your review! We would be happy to have you back if you ever needed another student accommodation :) - Evie
Staff are pleasant, particularly the guy with black hair and glasses who comes to fix things and do inspections here and there. Lots of events are organised for students so great to meet new people. Lots of storage especially in the studio flats, however studio has a microwave oven combi instead of a full oven (there is a communal kitchen with a proper oven tho). Bit more expensive than some accommodation however for what your getting it is value for money. Only complaint is washing machines and tumble dryers are through circuit which is pretty pricey but thats a complaint about every student accommodation (never seen an accommodation thats not with circuit laundry). Definitely the nicest student accommodation I've stayed at during my course.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I will make sure to pass your comments onto our Maintenance Operative, Bill. - Evie :)
one of the most over priced accomdations ever- the events are for children and some of the staff are arrogant and place feels like its a concentration camp and studios are tiny and not much space between the rooms. place preys on wealthy international students whom will pay anything. true student glassworks worst true in the country. also had some fraud incidents here and bullying and both were got off free with no punishment .atrocious experience.
I currently live at True student Newcastle Glassworks and I am very satisfied. There are so many amazing events each month that are totally free to join and enjoy the best student time. The public area is always spotless and comfortable, there is free high-speed wifi in all buildings, the staffs are super friendly and supportive, etc.
The staff is lovely, friendly and very helpful. The rooms are quite nice and spacious. It's in a nice area (about 10 mins away from Northumbria University), and the accommodation is very secure. Some really cool activities are available and it's always so much fun! Quite expensive, but overall worth the price. I really enjoyed staying here!
Staff are very friendly and helpful. I had a wonderful experience living here for 2 years. Very sad to leave, thanks to everyone for the great memories!
