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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Glassworks in Newcastle upon Tyne offers an exceptional student living experience, combining modern amenities with a convenient location. Situated on Coquet Street, this accommodation is a short distance from Northumbria University, Newcastle University, and Newcastle College, making it an ideal choice for students from these institution Location and Accessibility The Glassworks is perfectly positioned for students who want to be close to their universities and the vibrant city life of Newcastle.

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.

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!

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.

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!!!! Staff takes so much efforts to make everyone residing feel at home by regularly engaging in cultural events and festivals. The staff especially Bill, Evie and sally (have only met them) are so friendly and kind. Moreover the safety of those living is not compromised.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
