Great place to stay with university and city-centre close by. Bedroom and en-suite is a comfortable size and is a great place to get to know other students and enjoy the university experience!

Lived here for 4 years. The rooms are more spacious than you can find at the same price. The team is super friendly and helpful. Location is close to Uni and the tesco and subway made life easier. Lots of events organised by the team or students so social life is fun, would recommend getting a place with friends. The place can get noisy sometimes especially on weekends. Place is clean and in the 4 years wifi never failed me, always super fast. Overall would highly recommend it it's a great accommodation.
Thank you very much for your detailed review and feedback. We are happy to hear you've enjoyed your time at PGSV, and we will be sure to pass your comments on to the property team!
Really friendly and helpful staff all around for a good price
Thank you very much for your review!
I’ve lived here for two years and the staff are really lovely, the buildings are pretty good with decent rooms for the price you’re paying. The only problem is it’s quite far from Newcastle campus especially the medical building
Thank you very much for your review and helpful feedback. We are happy to hear you are enjoying your time at PGSV, and we will be sure to pass your comments on to the property team!
I have really enjoyed my time staying here for my second year . Clean , helpful , amazing maintenance staff ! Couldn’t ask for more . Amazing deals to the point I’ve rebooked the same room for my final year . Couldn’t recommend anywhere better !
Thank you very much for your review. We are very happy to hear that you are enjoying your stay a PGSV, and we are happy to have you here with us! We will be sure to pass your comments on to the property team!
I have lived in this student accommodation since September 2021 and have rebooked for my last year at Newcastle University for 22/23. The flats are en suites and I share a kitchen with my other flatmates. When booking I was able to give my preferences and they were met, such as whether being in a flat with girls or mixed and also I specified being with 2nd year students . There are entertainments held on a monthly basis, which we are invited to and a social area where we can book for gatherings. The best day is Friday when I get to see George the Portland Green Students Village dog. The staff are great and deal with situations promptly.
Thank you very much for your detailed review and helpful feedback. We are so happy you have chosen PGSV as your home from home, and we are thrilled to have you as part of the Abodus family! (P.S. We also love George! :))
I’m staying here for my second year at Sunderland University and I have already booked for next year. I’ve met so many friends. There are 5 buildings in the village with students from Newcastle/Northumbria Uni. The village has its own Tesco Express and Subway. There’s a pharmacy and GP across the road and loads of bars nearby. The staff are great and have events almost every week. Walk to town takes about 10 minutes and about 5-8 minutes to the nearest Metro or you can use an e-scooter to get there. Newton Court is the newest of the buildings and has huge kitchen and lounge.
Thank you very much for your detailed review and helpful feedback, and for choosing to stay with us at PGSV! We are very happy to have you here with us, and we will be sure to pass your comments on to the property team!
Honestly the best accommodation I have ever lived in! I have lived at Portland green for 2 years now and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else now! George (the office dog) is a great addition to a Friday daytime and makes my day when I go by reception! If I ever have any issues the reception team take note of it and they are resolved very quickly! I am looking to do a masters next year and I am hoping that I can stay in Newcastle to stay here for another year! Great location for university and getting into the city centre and events on site are fantastic especially the bingo nights which are great fun!
Thank you so much for your detailed and 5-star review! We will be sure to feedback your comments to the PGSV team.
Felt really safe and secure friendly staff stayed for 2 years and was really good!
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We will be sure to pass your feedback to the PGSV team.
I have lived at Portland Green Student Village for 7 months now and I can honestly say that I would recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for student accommodation in Newcastle. Within my first month of living at Portland Green I did have a few issues with my neighbours however the reception team were fantastic and completely understanding to my situation and sorted these issues for me straight away. Now I am extremely happy and have made life long friends from around the village and am now looking forward to another year at Portland Green.
Thank you so much for your detailed review which shares your experience of living at PGSV. We will be sure to pass your feedback onto the team.
In general terms everything is ok. I only have two negative things to say about the accommodation. 1. I feel it is quite expensive, in my case I finish my classes at the beginning of May and I have had to pay two more moths for nothing (980 pounds). I am so angry about this, find it very unfair. 2. When we have had issues with flat mates it is hard or even impossible to change somewhere else (having spare rooms in every building), it is something it should change. We pay a lot of money for so little solutions.
Hello, and thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear you aren't fully satisfied with your experience at PGSV. When booking with us, every Abodus resident receives a contract with their chosen length of stay. It is the responsibility of the resident to carefully read their contract before signing it. If you have any other questions or concerns, we encourage you to speak directly with the property team so they can address them with you.
Definitely not worth the money we pay given the quality of the accommodation in comparison to other university halls which charge the same amount. Social life is good but dependent on the people you are living with rather than the accommodation itself.
Hello, and thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your time at PGSV. We encourage you to reach out to the site team to discuss your concerns in more detail so that we can work with you to come to a resolution.
For the money I'm paying in comparison to other accommodations I've seen, I'm annoyed, little justifies the cost I'm paying especially since certain promised benefits have not been included
Thank you very much for your review. We encourage you to please reach out to the reception team to express your concerns so that we can address and work towards resolving any issues you are facing.
It's a good place to live where you can meet new people from a range of backgrounds doing multiple courses. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. There are regular competitions and giveaways, e.g. Pepsi max and mugs. Only downside is the walls are pretty thin so I am able to hear my flatmates and other flats talking and singing etc, which is usually fine during the day but can be quite annoying on a night when trying to sleep.
Many thanks for your review and feedback. If ever you need to make a noise complaint, please speak with your reception team who will be happy to discuss the noise levels with you. We hope you enjoy the remainder of your time at PGSV!
I've stayed at Portland Green Student Village since 2018 and during this time I haven't had much problems. If there's one thing that I think is great about this place it has to be the staff. The staff here are fantastic, very friendly and welcoming they really do try thier best to make you feel accommodated. I would definitely recommend this place especially if you are a young or mature student. The location is great too, it's right next to Ouseburn a short walk from the city centre and a stones through away from jesmond. Overall 8.5/10
Thank you very much for your kind review and helpful feedback. We are happy to hear you are enjoying your time at PGSV, and we will be sure the site team receive your comments!
Accommodation is nice because it has open spaces such as common areas around the building as well as a common space within our flats. I also like that the rooms allow for privacy. Reception is lovely!
Thank you very much for your review and helpful feedback. We are so happy to hear you are enjoying your accommodation!
Love having my own bathroom and own bedroom. I love the people at reception, always willing to help. Very nice location and accessible to the metro
Thanks so much for your review!
I love the set up of the rooms and the social areas are a 10/10. My shower drain was clogged when I arrived, but it was quickly fixed :D
Many thanks for your review and helpful feedback. We are happy to hear you are enjoying your time with Abodus, and that your maintenance request was quickly resolved!
Nice location and environment. Not too crowded and the buildings are right next to a park. Cons are noise from parties and some staff are lazy.
Thank you very much for your review!
Cozy environment with friendly employees and also brilliant social space outlined with so much activities.
Thank you very much for your review!

Very good location with many other student accommodations nearby. Any maintenance issues resolved quickly. Very social.
Thank you very much for your review!
WiFi is the biggest issue I’ve had since being here. However the value for money that you get for the rooms and amenities makes it more than worth it. The smoking areas and courtyards make it very easy to be social and get to know other people in the building.
Thanks so much for your review and helpful feedback! We are sorry to hear about your issues with the WiFi, but we are happy to announce that we have partnered with Ask4 to offer you a free upgrade to 4Network, and we are consistently looking to make further improvements to our services to you. We are happy to hear that you are otherwise happy with your accommodation, and we look forward to spending this year with you!

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.

Thanks so much for your feedback. We'll be sure to pass it on to the team at PGSV!
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.
Thank you so much for your great review! It is excellent to hear that we have helped to make your transition to university as seamless as possible, even in the current climate. We hope that you continue to enjoy your time at PGSV!

Hi, thanks for your feedback. It's always helpful to hear what our residents think. We will pass your comments on to the team at PGSV!
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
Hello, thanks so much for your feedback. We are so happy to hear that you're having such a positive experience at PGSV thus far and we will be sure to pass your comments on to both the team and Elaine-- They will be excited to hear this!
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.
Thanks so much for your review! It's great hearing that the team at PGSV could make isolation a little bit easier on you, and that you feel safe living with us. We will let the team know what you've said!

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.
Wow, thanks so much for this review! We are so happy to hear that, in spite of these strange times, you've had such a fun and positive living experience at PGSV. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the team!
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.
Thanks so much for this feedback! We're happy to hear that the team at PGSV have gone above and beyond during these strange times, and that you have had a positive living experience with us thus far. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team!
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.
Thank you for your positive review. We're so glad that you've found living at PGSV a great experience. We'll be sure to pass your comments on to the team!
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!
Thanks so much for your five-star review! We're pleased that you all have made it through isolation, and that the PGSV team were there to help you along the way. They will be happy to hear that their hard work has not gone unnoticed!
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.
Portland Green Student Village is the largest private student community in Newcastle with over 1,400 rooms. This is a mixture of both ensuites in clusters flats and self-contained studios. Thank you very much for your review. At Portland Green Student Village we hope all our residents are aware, we endeavour to fix any issues as quickly as possible. Our three 24-hour operational laundry rooms do occasionally have technical difficulties with individual machines. Once reported it is logged for an engineer to attend as soon as possible. We have also increased neighbourhood watch patrols and our onsite security. When a theft is reported the police are contacted to investigate the matter and a crime reference number is provided for insurance purposes. We also have two large social rooms across the 5 buildings for our students, which include pool tables, areas to meet and socialise with friends or take advantage of our spacious and quiet study pods.
This place is amazing. The Staff, facilities plus its not far from Uni.
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear you've had such a good experience at PGSV!
Great place to live. Home from home with great staff and great facilities.
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear you've had such a good experience at PGSV!
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 £££
Our number one priority in this ever-changing situation has been the safety of our residents and colleagues. The site team is extremely busy looking after our residents still in situ maintaining the facilities to the highest possible standard. We have increased cleaning measures, individual welfare checks on residents whist keeping the community of PGSV our top priority. The Abodus team is very busy behind the scenes currently reviewing the COVID-19 situation and how it impacts your lives, now and next term. We will be contacting all residents with further communications as quickly as possible.
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.
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear you've had such a good experience at PGSV, and will pass your comments on to the site.
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.

Good size room/ en suite and the kitchen space is good I wouldn’t mind having a lock on the toilet door and being able to keep the radiator on for longer because the rooms are quite cold

Really disappointed. Gym is not working. There was no warm water for a few days. Delays in cashback. Parcels just for 4 hours, when there are loong queues. The washing machines usually not working and full. Expensive as well.

Good place to live. Staff sometimes not on the same page. Halls and lifts could do with more regular cleaning. There has been cobwebs above entrance way doors in Newton Block C since we moved in.

The maintenance people are really nice people and are always in a good mood. The people on the desk are always smiling and helpful. Also, the 24-hour desk is quite helpful for nights out or studying late. The couple days of the broken card reader was the only problem I have had with the accommodation, everything else has been great esspically for the price with tge cash back

Pretty average accommodation although expensive for what you're getting. Especially compared to the other university accommodations. Maintenance is pretty good. Lovely guys who are happy and willing to help. There have been multiple issues with keycards not working to the point where everyone has realised that you can just force the doors open if you lush hard enough. We also didn't have hot water for a week and were not compensated for it in any way.
Thank you for your review! We will pass all your comments over to the staff to make them aware of your feedback.
Love it at Portland green. I’ve stayed at Rosedale Court for the last two years and it’s so cheap!! The rooms are a nice size, loads of storage and the kitchens are a good size too. The best part about Portland green are the staff, they truly cannot do enough for you. They really make it feel like a home away from home and the amount of social events that they have including quizzes, exercise classes etc really make a difference when you’re new and even to me my second year in. Overall, I couldn’t suggest it enough, so close to uni!
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear you've had such a good experience at PGSV, and that you'd recommend us!
I have enjoyed the warm welcome to my accommodation with very helpful and friendly staff available to help you 24/7 , always clean and hygienic with lots of social spaces. Although it personally hasn’t been the best social experience for me the accommodation and staff itself has been amazing.
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear you've had such a good experience at PGSV!
The staff are so helpful and friendly, the flats themselves are spacious and have great social kitchen/living areas. The halls themselves are in a great location with everything within walking distance
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear you've had such a good experience at PGSV!
The WiFi is really poor and the gym is not working at all even if they are advertising how great gym they have. Moreover the cash back was delayed which is unfair because, they just give us an extra pizza night for “sorry”. There was no warm water for few days even if we pay so much for that place. Not recommended for that value sorry. I can recommend other accommodation like knoll court, where they are not promise everything but doing just great job, giving student what they need.

I have been here for 2 years now and I have to say that I enjoy every moments I have spent here, especially the quiz nights. The staff is great and so friendly so I would recommend this accommodation to a lot of people.
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear you've stayed with us for a few years and the feedback you have given us is great!
I love living at Portland Green, I will living here for my 3rd year.
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear you've had such a good experience at PGSV and that your continuing with us for your third year!
In my view Portland Green Student Village offers its tenants one of the best experiences that could be found in Newcastle. The team is very friendly and willing to answer any questions at any time. I would definitely recommend PGSV to anyone!
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear you've had such a good experience at PGSV!
Portland Green is a brilliant place to stay. The location is really good it is a short walk to Uni, the City Centre and shops. I have made a lot of friends while staying here. It has a great balance of activities which are put on by the site. The staff are really friendly and approachable and are always happy to go the extra mile to help. I have booked to stay again next year with £1,300 cash back.
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear that you've chose to stay with us again and that you've enjoyed living here.
Part 2: Nevertheless, washing machines are really dirty and I’d never wash my white clothes there. Dryers don’t dry clothes completely what is a shame for this price. It’s definitely not an eco-friendly accommodation as they don’t have any bins outside for recyclable rubbish. I was shown a bigger flat during the viewing and my room turned out to be way smaller. Last year I lived in Rosedale Court which is way cheaper than Newton Court and the reason I decided to change the accommodation was the size of the room. The receptionist changed my room for another one, but I was charged £50 for that. I think it’s disgraceful as my other flatmates got way bigger rooms for the same price.

I live in a brand new Newton Court in Shieldfield, Newcastle. The biggest advantage of living here are definitely new, modern furniture, fitness suite and a spacious living room with kitchen. The location is great - it’s just 1-minute walk to Tesco Express, 7 minutes to Northumbria Business School and the library. My flat has a SmartTV, dishwasher and the most important - 2 large fridges! All rooms have an en-suite bathroom. WiFi is really fast. Walls are super thick so even if your neighbours organise a party, you still can study or sleep peacefully. Any problems and faults are repaired immediately. Parcel collection works efficiently. The reception is open 24/7 so even if you lose your key during the night out or have any other problem, they’re always there for you. You won’t get this quality anywhere in Newcastle for this price! Students who rebook for the next year get £1300 cashback that lowers the weekly price for about £30!!! Nevertheless, washing machines are really dirty and

Overall a good place to live with a lot of friendly day staff and night staff who are always helpful

I have lived in Student Accommodation for 4 years now. My first year was £31 more expensive per week. Although the rooms and kitchens were just as good as Abodus, the atmosphere, social events and staff were no-where near the standard of Abodus. The internet is very reliable and they host many events every month such as fitness classes, quizzes, parties. The value for money is good, especially with the cashback offer. It is the cheapest, yet biggest and best student accommodation in Newcastle.
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear about your experience with us!
Located right next to a Tesco and subway which is super helpful for shopping. There’s also a Morrison’s and GP within walking distance, it’s only a short walk to the centre of town and both universities which is convenient and it’s located in a nice area close to local pubs and food spots. The accommodation itself is well managed by the on site team who always endeavour to meet needs of all residents and always create events in the social area for free to attend which is a bonus and a good way of meeting new people. The only downside is the cost - without the cashback they’ve had on in previous years it is expensive and there are other alternatives for a cheaper price.
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear about your experience with us!
I believe PGSV to be a place that is a good price for students with a good friendly community atmosphere. They have regular events to get people involved. They also have a great team off staff that get to know you personally. It is this level of service that has made PGSV stand out.
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear about your experience with us!
Living in Portland Green Student Village is a great choice if you're looking for high quality rooms and flats. Common space in Bryson Court is good for bigger meetings with a lot of social events every month including free pizza and drinks. The location is excellent - 8 minutes to the Northumbria University, 15' to the city centre and 10' to Morrison's if you need bigger shopping. As the accommodation is close to Ouseburn there is a choice of pubs you can go to on a night out with good food during the day. If there are any maintenance issues, they can be easily logged online and the problem would be resolved in no time
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear about your experience with us!
Great accommodation with friendly staff, worth the money for very modern flats, a bit of a walk into the town centre and to Newcastle uni but overall a great place to stay
Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear about your experience with us!
The staff are absolutely fabulous and always willing to help!!!

Great friendly staff, mostly clean halls, location is only ten minutes from city campus, value for money, great modern rooms and kitchens.

I live in Bryson Court and absolutely love it. I have stayed there for two years now and wish I could have spent the entirety of my 4 years at University here. The onsite staff are super friendly and will always give you time even if just for a chat. There are several social events ran every single month for the residents. There are several onsite laundry rooms, bin storage rooms and the social spaces offer free pool and ping pong (as well as specific study rooms for when that time of year comes and you can't be bothered to treck to the library). There are also a Tesco and a subway literally a two-minute walk as well as nearby bus stations and metro stations for easy commuting if need be. Honestly couldn't recommend this place enough, especially for the price it is absolutely unrivalled.
Turner Court for me was, what I would best describe as a nightmare when I first moved in. I expected my accommodation to be at least somewhat lively, however at first I believed this wasn’t to be and it was going to be a stinker of a year. Yet all changed when I moved flats. Turner is separated into two blocks, Block A and Block B. Block B from my own personal perspective is the livelier of the two, and I found this out quickly. Turner is what you make it, and it is as clear as that. Moving flats was the single best decision of my life, and what I first believed was going to be an awful year actually has turned out to be the best year of my life. I have met friends for life in this accommodation, and my future house mates. Because Turner has relatively small numbers in flats (5-9) you begin to socialise in other flats, and thats why you shouldn’t be anxious of the social aspect of Turner. Honestly, it’s vital that you don’t hibernate in your room, and make it yours and own it.
Although not my first choice don’t worry it was never anyone’s if you get it ! It’s perfect location for town and the staff are lovely ! Because use are 20 mins walk away from other newcastle halls it does make you former close friendships- I have met my best friends here and I am so greatful!
Turner Court is very well-decorated and modern, it might be a bit further than most accommodations but a lot closer than where most will live in second and third year. Situated above a Tesco and Subway which is great, close to other accommodation such as Liberty Quay, and only a 15 minute walk away from Quayside. Socially good in freshers, but dies out a bit as most do, probably because nobody ever used the common room if they weren't waiting for their laundry. No cleaner but honestly not a big deal at all. A bit expensive, but all student accommodation is, and a lot cheaper than the similar ones offered.
Although the layout of the flats is not particularly social in my experience Turner Court is what you make it, once you mix with other flats it's easy to invite people over and make it more of a social environment. Saying that, the common room is a bit dull and so it isn't really a space where many people spend a lot of time which is a shame. The rooms are modern and have plenty of storage. The bathrooms are sometimes a bit of an issue, my shower backed sometimes and so did a few other people's that I'd spoken to, but it was nothing overly problematic. Laundry is straight forward and I never had any issues with it. Overall though Turner Court is a decent place to live and only 15 minutes away from uni.
