Portland Green Student Village Reviews

Very kind and accommodating staff

Even though at fist, I was quite sceptical about living at Turner Court in Portland Green, I have grown to love living there. I love living here so much that I am going to live in Portland Green at Newton Court next academic year! There wasn't much social-wise due to COVID-19 but Turner Court has still been a very social place for me. I've met loads of new people.

Portland green student villeage is great

I’ve been at Portland green for 3 years and have loved every minute. They went above and beyond for me in my third year to cater to my needs and requirements!

The building is lovely and the staff are even better

Lovely accom friendly staff good vibe

I loved living in Portland Green. The atmosphere was great, the staff were really helpful and the facilities were really good.

Great location close to city centre and unis. Staff are very friendly

i have loved ever my second here and would thoroughly recommend coming here

Overall my experience has been excellent here, the only downfall has been that it's about 20 minutes from town but there's some lovely parks nearby to compensate.

Lived here for 3 years, love the place and staffs are fantastic. Any issues you email them or drop in asking for help, they get dealt asap.

Staff are real friendly and everything works how you want it to

Lovely accommodation!! Really clean, great social spaces and close location to university, Ouseburn and town!

Amazing accommodation for the value

Thanks to joe for helping us fixing the bed the absolute legend

Reception and maintenance & housekeeping are always helpful. Thank you to David for helping and going above and beyond to find me a freezer drawer.

Maintenance team (Dave & Barry) always very helpful and friendly. Will help sort any inquiries out and have a good laugh.

I love living at Portland green, the staff are always so helpful In particular (Emily and Dave). With everything going on they have made it so easy to feel happier and at home. Everyone should live here if the could!

Maintenance guys are straight up, sorted things and are sound guys

Just had a very helpful experience with two of the maintenance team (Dave and Barry) who responded immediately to the issue and were very friendly and efficient whilst providing help as quickly as possible. Thankyou !

Very nice student rooms all with en suite bathrooms and nice kitchens

Lovely staff, very caring and supportive. Always for cuppa and a laugh

Very nice, clean but flatmates are annoying

Great found one best person here

This is the best student accommodation you’ll find in Newcastle. Excellent facilities and good WiFi make it a perfect student experience.

Having a great time here, I’ve made loads of friends and have enjoyed the experience since the first day of moving :)

Portland has been great to live in as a First year, I have loved every minute of it even with the coronavirus, I have been able to enjoy a great social life and also follow regulations, with incredibly friendly staff and security.

Very nice safe clean friendly staff good location love it

I have lived here for the past two years and I feel as though it is a great accomodation for freshers. Very safe, very clean and friendly staff.

Good value for money with the cashback offer, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Overall very good experience!

The accommodation is really nice and modern with a good flat layout. The rooms were fairly clean when I moved in. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The location is really good and close to both unis. The social experience has been difficult due to the current situations however meeting new flatmates was great. The WiFi is really fast and you can have up to 5 devices on it.

great place to live, people on the reception are lovely and great location.

Nice staff good experience all round

Staff are absolutely sound and really nice

Great staff and maintained round the the building. Good environment to live in.

Love portland and the rooms are mint, overall good experience

Amazing place. Rooms spacious and great value for money.

Mint the best places for students

A lot of help when we had Covid, went to get our shopping! Brilliant staff

When in isolation reception went to get our shopping, very helpful when we needed them.

Can’t say a bad word about the staff, been brilliant about the whole situation and look after all the students to the best of their ability.

Really good place to live, love my flat even tho it did need a through clean when I moved in because of the dust. Location is perfect as it’s 10 mins from uni

Very quick walk to town centre and uni, great staff, great people.

Newcastle is a long way from London and I expected it would take a decent amount of time to get used to being so far away from home. While I can't lie and say I'm completely used to it yet, settling in and living at the Portland Green Student Village has been a great experience. The staff are friendly and reply quickly to enquiries, whether you email or ask them in person, there are constantly events going on despite the current situation in England; it is clear that the staff and organisers are making sure that we're having the best experience that we can even with everything going on right now. While I will certainly miss being home in London, I am also looking forward to spending the rest of the year here in my first year of higher education.

nicely sized rooms and good sized kitchen. friendly staff and residents

Staff are great and friendly. Rooms and living spaces are modern as well.

Absolutely great. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Maintenance is great and very quick. Very close to both unis and super close to shops/bars.

Really nice flat, and the staff have tried to put on online events to make coronavirus a bit less anti social

I am very happy with the facilities available to us at Portland green, I feel as though it is a homely environment and I am very excited for the rest of the year !

Reception staff are so lovely and friendly

Lovely staff and very clean onsite

Friendly staff. Regularly cleaned and maintenance requests are completed quickly. Great location, solid value for money.

Very pleased with the accomdation however some other accommodations at the same price have facilities such as a Tv and iron etc.

I don’t think you’ll find much better for your money in newcastle, especially with the cashback. Big desk and bed, decent floor space, even got a dishwasher in the kitchen!! All basic necessities covered like Hoover, kettle, microwave, toaster. The staff are really friendly as well, I was feeling upset one day with isolation and Elaine just made me feel so much better. Obviously with lockdown it’s hard to judge the social spaces and social experience, but I’m enjoying myself so far. It is 10 mins walk from Northumbria uni and just under 20 to city centre. No complaints, they’re trying their best in a hard time obviously things can’t be perfect considering the circumstance

Staff were excellent in helping get our flat groceries and parcels whilst we were isolating. I felt safe and reassured that I was not alone and if I needed further help it was easy accessible.

The staff at Portland Green was always on hand to help with our deliveries whilst we was in isolation.

I have enjoyed my time at Portland Green Student Green Village so far as the bedroom, kitchen and facilities are at a high quality and allowed me to settle in quickly.

Rooms and kitchens are very modern, and the site team are very helpful

Very modern and comfortable accommodation, in a perfect location with a tesco on the corner and a park right behind the block. I had to isolate due to covid 19 and the staff were so helpful and supportive, post was delivered to our doors along with our bins been taken out when requested. Although we cannot socialise outside our flat we have been provided with other opportunities to meet new people virtually such as a zoom quiz. I would recommend anyone to book here.

Despite covid, I’ve still had a great time so far at Portland Green! The staff are helpful and welcoming and are always willing to go the extra mile to help you out. I’ve found the maintenance guys will always do as much as they can to help no matter what the issue is. I would recommend PGSv.

The staff are all so friendly and helpful. It’s so tough at the minute but they all work so hard, day and night. The evening cleaning staff are so lovely and will happily bump elbows.

Whilst in isolation the staff couldn’t help us enough, taking out our bins and dropping off our parcels. Thanks to them we’ve made it through lockdown!

Rooms are tiny, judging by how uncomfortable they are mattrasses could be well over 10 years in use. Had unsufficient hot water supply for months and didnt get fixed until the second term. Bike thefts every week without security being able to do something about it. Garbage everywhere as apparently no proper cleaning services. Laundery rooms were outsourced to Circuit and werent functioning for weeks without anyone on site doing anything about it, despite the fact that 4,50 per washing is incredibly expensive compared to other accommodations. Also laundry rooms exist only in two out of 5 builidings so had to drag all of it into a different building. A single common room with one pool & ping pong table for over a thousand students in five different buildings is simply ridiculous. Access logs for buildings flat and room doors was down for two weeks seemingly without anyone being able to fix it. Had to call reception every time I wanted to get out of my flat or get back into it.

This place is amazing. The Staff, facilities plus its not far from Uni.

Great place to live. Home from home with great staff and great facilities.

I cannot thank PGSV for all the help with my daughter over the last 2 weeks whilst all this craziness of COVID 19 is going on. The reception staff have been so helpful with making my daughter feel safe and secure when we could not fly her home. The Staff cannot do enough for the residence. The maintenance guys are always on hand for emergencies. The events my daughter attends are amazing. They had a free burger/coffee van on site a weeks back. Plus great prizes and fun with the quizzes each month. My daughter has booked again to stay in September with a great re-booking discount. I can't thank PGSV staff enough. Thank you and stay safe

Very bad customer service, especially in a crisis such as the Covid-19 outbreak. Would not recommend; do not book/rebook with them, only after £££

The experience has been fantastic overall. The staffs are very efficient and friendly. Management is smooth and there's plenty of amazing events going on around the year. The only down side are the rooms. The can feel a little congested at times. Alao there are no reading lamps anywhere in the room, be that at the study table or over the bed.

Good general experience, but some delays with promised cash back led to many students not having the money to carry on buying food without getting into further debt. Social events and free food are good. Room and en suite in good condition along with kitchen and social spaces

Booking late in Rosedale Court is not something you want to do. I know people who have a TV and bigger fridge in bryson Court and paid less than me. Safety is probably best feature though and gym is alright. One issue I have is fridge size however freezer is more than suitable.

I love Portland green as its welcoming, social and there’s always events and stuff going on for students

I have been living in Portland, Rosedale Court. It has been an amazing experience so far. I’ll rebook it for the following year, for sure
