Terrible place Excessive noise Poor layout Some students always do bot respect you!!! Espectially when they got drunk!! They often knock your door and scream at night!! Managment team cannot manage and solve this problem. Oh my goodness this is the worst thing I’ve experienced since I live in the UK. Please think carefully if you think that I will live here just because it’s near business school. There are a lot of accommodations you can choose!!!
Terrible place Massive noise Poor managment team A lot ot durnk students Management team cannot control anything Please think again and again before rent this place
Terrible place!!! staff are not friendly. Nightmare to live here because of excessive noise from other flats. No one can help you solve this problem. It doesn't worth to live here.

Sorry to hear that you are having problems with noise from other flats and tenants in the building. When noise is considered to be excessive our reception and security teams can try and help, but often the best option is to try and confront your flat mates and have a conversation with them directly. The tips on the save the student website might be helfpul for you.
Awful place, staff are extremely rude and unhelpful. Talk to you like dirt. You can hear the wind from the corridor to such an extent that you cant sleep. There is honestly no social life in this building. Washing facilities are a joke, they flooded and had to shut it down. 0/10

Thank you for your review, we're pleased you enjoyed your time with us!
Great location and on site facilities
No social experience, flats are nice but cheap appliances, rooms are really hot and windows hardly open to let air in. Kitchens don't have extractor fans so it just turns to an oily mess. Security is over the top and sometimes mates can not come to visit you.

Thank you for your feedback we take onboard all comments from our residents to improve the student experience. In 2017, we introduced a new social programme for all of our sites which encourages students to mix and make new friends.
Great location, beautiful building however the layout doesn't encourage people to be sociable

Thank you for your feedback. The building really is beautiful - here's our 360 degree tour. We've recently opened Verde, a building around the corner, where we host social events. This is so that students from both sites can feel part of a wider community.
Location is the best part. 10-15 minute walk to campus. Right by the centre of town. Downside of this is it is stupid loud at times. I had a room facing the Sandman Hotel. I would hear people partying outside until late at night, garbage truck crushing all the glass bottles early in the morning (around 5 am). The sun would heat the room up extremely when it was up, but opening the window would bring insane amount of noise in. It's hilariously impossible to sleep at times. The doors are notorious for being banged (hinge is heavy), which can wake you up in the nights. The rooms aren't big, but they are modern and nice. Being a first year place, the people can be quite noisy and party centred, if you like it, great. if you don't - its terrible. My experience social was s***, and its impossible to change room so. Some people write it's dead socially, how the f*** I dunno, there were constant parties. Sucks for me because I prefer to sleep and eat myself to a heart attack.
When I arrived the the rooms were disgustingly dirty, No cleaning is done for students, the location is ideal, but the cost of rent is not worth it in my opinion.

Hi there thank you for your feedback and we are very sorry to hear that your room was not of a satisfactory standard when you arrived. Did you report the issue at all? We will circulate this feedback with the team because keeping the rooms to a high standard is of utmost importance to us.
Very spacious kitchen and living area with well set up bedrooms. Great halls for first year students.

Hello, thank you so much for your review and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time at The View. We are proud of the apartments we offer and you're right, the living areas are incredibly spacious!
It is ok! Having an ensuite is the best bit!
It is truly great to live here. Ideal location, so pretty - you feel like in a hotel. Also I have never ecperienced not having hot water and you can actually control the temperature of your room! I really appreciate, as it is a new accommodation, that everything works and if you have any kind of problem, the management team is so lovely and they always solve the problems very quickly. Except for the price, can't recommend more. I believe that it is worth it though.

Thank you for your great review and we couldn't be more pleased that you enjoyed your time at The View! We have passed on your feedback to the management team. They will be pleased to hear that you appreciated their service. We are located conveniently close to Newcastle University- less than 10 minutes!
Great place to live for location as is only 15 minutes from the train station, 10 minutes from Newcastle University and 5 minutes from nightlife and Eldon Square. However, it is not a great place for socialising.
Nice place, safe (24/7 security) good location. But payment method could be made better. Unfortunate cheap kitchen appliances.

Hi thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you appreciated our trained onsite security team, they do a wonderful job! If you would like to tell us how you think our payment process could be made easier, please send us an email at info@downingstudents.com. We are always looking for ways to improve our service. Thanks!
The View offers great, modern accommodation and is in a good location. The staff are very friendly and help with any problems you may be having in your room very quickly.
Great location and the flats are really nice but the social scene is next to none existent, would recommend Castle leazes or Ricky over the view.
Although the view offers a brilliant location in terms of access to the city's shops and nightlife in a Very modern looking building its not without its flaws. Being privately owned comes with the burden of poor value and inexperienced staff who treat security as if you were in a prison and come into your room whenever they want. The social spaces are designed Perfectly for students but are painfully underused.
Best place to live but by far the best the deadest. Security is so over the top
Really good location to the shops/bars/clubs etc, about 20 minutes walk from newcastle university campus. No cleaning services provided, but flats are modern and nicely decorated with a living space and kitchen for every flat
the most expensive place you can stay, but it is probably worth the money. The location couldn't be better- close to uni, China town, shops, all bars&clubs. You get a double bed & nice ensuite. The kitchen/lounge is a good size and there's a big tv. However, I needed to move out due to harassment & the manager is the most unhelpful person ever! She lied through her teeth to do anything to keep me paying to live there, saying I chose to move out to be with my friends in another place when I would have happily moved to another room in the same building which she wouldn't let me do! Be warned that as it is privately owned, it is not easy to move out & no one will move in as it so pricey. Lots of international students.
