Most helpful review

I’m really grateful to stay at Albion House as it caters for all my needs as international student studying in Newcastle. The location, hospitality, management and amenities are immaculate. In fact, it has the most reasonable price for a studio considering the fact that the unit comes with a personal washing machine! Not many studios in other accommodations in town have their own washing machine in a unit at a reasonable rental price! Mark is the best landlord - he always makes sure any maintenance issues are resolved promptly. He also hosts little events and serves snacks to make the atmosphere more lively. Overall it was a great experience living in this accommodation - it feels like a second home away from home! Thank you to Mark and team for the amazing service!

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.

The managers are very friendly and helpful. If there’s any issue, they will fix it as quickly as they can. The location is also great, which is basically in the city. Each flat is also equipped with a dedicated washer which is really convenient.

Albion House is perfectly located (close to the university and city center). I've been staying here for 2 years now (and have extended the contract for the 3rd year). My room is comfortable and well-equipped. Special thanks to the manager, Mark, who is incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and always ready to help. With Ashley's assistance as the assistant manager as well, things can be solved immediately. Overall, I highly recommend Albion House for any student seeking a convenient and supportive living environment.

Albion house is conveniently located next to the university and town which are both a short walk away. The St. James's metro Station is also a 3 minute walk away should you need it. The management at Albion house is fantastic and Mark always puts a smile on your face. There's also free coffee and tea at reception!! There are CCTV cameras throughout the building which give an additional sense of safety. I would recommend this accommodation to any student who wants to live in the city centre.

An excellent place to be in. Very close to Newcastle Business school and Newcaslte university. The management is very good especially Mark (Marvelous Mark) who is jolly and very nice person who encourages you, Motivates you and always have smile when he sees u and a good start to the day. The management takes care of all the needs (Hygiene, Health). Free coffees and Tea available. The management host parties and social activities for students to feel comfortable and perfect homely environment for expats. The rooms and common areas are decent and have enough space to keep our belongings. The Accomodation is monitored by CCTVs which gives sense of safety for us when we are not around. Overall a very decent place and value for money as compared to other accommodations near by.
