Overall good accom to live in, close to business school and to the town center so not far to walk from a night out. standard en-suite rooms are a good size with storage under the bed. 5 other flatmates is a nice amount and kitchens are of good size. Lack of storage in kitchen as only get 1 kitchen cupboard. Staff are friendly and maintenance issues have always been solved quickly. Would definitely choose Wellington if i was choosing my accom again! Would definitely recommend!

The place is quite overpriced, location is great however. We have had many maintenance issues with the flat when we moved in, including broken and missing window handles, a disgusting hallway carpet that I had to clean myself, an oven that set on fire when we turned it on, a rotten bathroom door sill with bugs living in it, a broken kitchen heater and a large quantity of bugs living in the kitchen. These issues took about a month after reporting to fix on average. However, most of the staff are kind and helpful, the internet is great, rooms are a decent size.

We had beetles and silverfish living under our floor since we arrived. It had clearly been an issue for a substantial period of time as there were many dead insects under the floor. This rendered our kitchen an unsanitary and disturbing place to be despite us keeping it ridiculously clean all the time. We later discovered other flats also had this issue. Putting this issue aside, I have enjoyed living here as my room has had absolutely no problems and was spotlessly clean when I arrived and the staff are so friendly and helpful. It’s just a shame the insect problem in some of the kitchens has gone unnoticed for so long.

It costs far too much to do washing, that is my biggest criticism. It is unjustifiably expensive. For a full wash and dry, it costs at least £5.20 and thats not even considering the fact that the tumble dryers do not effectively dry things and sometimes require a second or even third run to dry effectively. The cost is unjustifiable in all regards, it doesn't cost nearly that much to run a wash.

Overall a great place to live and I won’t be looking elsewhere for the rest of my time living in Newcastle. Eve especially as a staff member is always amazing and very friendly

Really good accommodation. Maintenance requests are responded to very quickly, when we first moved in one of the fridges wasn’t working, we put a request in and 5 minutes later they came up with a new fridge. One thing I will say is that there could do with being more washing machine and dryers as there’s always big queues in the laundry room. Noise complaints are also responded to very quickly. Overall great accomodation.

I stayed with them last year and I had the best experience. I came back this year and checked into a different room. The bathrooms were barely cleaned. it was my first day in that room and the bathroom was full of scums and there were hair which was clearly not mine(I can know from the length and the tickness). After checking the bathroom I wiped the closet and the shelves in my room. It was an absolutely horror. The shelves in the shower is rusty, they changed the lighting last year but it is still not bright enough. Yellow lights made the room old and creepy. Apart from that, I am in absolute love with the staff. They are always kind, welcoming and fast. They always try to help.

I have lived in D67 for the last 2 years. It is a studio and it was pretty good when I first moved in 2 years ago. The room was very spacious and the room was in good condition when I moved in. Since then I have had multiple issues with silverfish and other bugs in my room. These bugs have been on the floor, my desk, the sink and hob. They have called pest control but I am still having issues, which have been going on for months now. I am still seeing bugs, and considering the amount of times I have reported the problem, it is very disappointing.

Good location, although can get noisy during matches. It was very clean when we arrived and the common area is also kept well. the recent change to the rubbish disposal is also a great step towards a more sustainable accommodation. I would love to see food waste bins in the flats perhaps, and although this is a huge idea maybe some solar panel could be fitted. the tops of each block receive a lot of sunlight and i’m sure in the long run it would save you a lot of money!

i’ve loved my time in wellington, think the locations for uni and for nights out is amazing ( the walk home from town goes through all the takeaways it’s very well planned) Only issues i would say is sometimes the wifis works intermittently and the courtyard is sometimes full of rubbish. Thanks so much :)))

Overall it is a good value for money, it is difficult to be social in block D when all of the other flats on the floor are just studios - with people who tend to want to be on their own - so I feel like we haven’t been able to interact as well as other accommodations. Great view though.

Wellington St Plaza is an amazing accommodation especially if you are a business school student as it is only a 2 minute walk to lectures. The accommodation itself is great, the kitchen and lounge area are good social areas to cook and socialise with flatmates, the rooms are a decent size and have a good ensuite. The accommodation is close to the city centre so you never have to pay for taxis on a night out. There is also a tesco express located 2 minutes away with is very convenient. Overall, I love wellington st plaza, its great value for money and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in Newcastle as a first year student.

It’s alright. Like the wifis crao and some staff r super lovely. The lifts are tempormental and if sth breaks it’ll be broken all term. Kitchens FREEZING no heating. The laundry situation is embarrassing tho I wld advise them to bun off circuit as I’d rather wear dirty pants for a month than shell out a fiver to pay for a tiny washing machine which barely cleans my clothes and the dryers which blatantly don’t work.

This is an honest review from the student who has been living on block D since the mid of Sept. Pros: - The location - next to NCL’s computing and business school and only 10 mins walk to city center and the main campus - Studio rooms are large with big windows Cons: - no kitchen hood - fair enough that it’s not showed from the website but if you live in studios prepare to sleep like you are in the kitchen - in block D Out of service elevator - since the first day I arrived and still. Ofcuz, there is the other one but it’s obvious that is not enough for students * the security issue should be concerned ** CCTV only at the ground floor *** in block D No staff at all time*** there are no staffs at the reception on this block. They asked to wait for another 3 months to allocate some staffs here. A robbery happened in the first week but right now students still have to wait for a staff and pray

the building is fairly clean but the lifts and corridors are a bit scruffy at times but that’s just how students can be. staff are more than lovely and always happy to chat and help at reception. the common room is big and good to chill in and parcels are usually kept safe at reception unless small enough to fit into letter box. there are some major negatives i found: there is only 5 washers and 5 dryers for the whole of my block so a lot of the time it’s really hard to get one so it’s best to go super early or super late. feels like there is ALWAYS something broken in the flats wether it be a lift, a door or a washer and it can be really annoying. there is also constantly maintenance emails needing access to all bedrooms and it gets really really uncomfortable at times as a girl knowing men who have keys to your flat are basically coming in every month (even though they are always nice it’s still a worry). overall it does the job but i couldn’t live there for long than i did

nothing to complain about in terms of the accommodation itself - staff and maintenance are great, rooms are nice and quite soundproof unless the noise is coming from inside your own flat, wifi works really well (apart from when it randomly goes out without notice). the only and main thing is location. the 15 minute walk to campus seems fine but it gets really annoying after a while. it can also be quite isolating and take away from the social experience when all your friends live together in on-campus accommodation (as most people at newcastle tend to do) - especially bad if you’re a girl as it’ll lead to a lot of late night walks home on your own. the area around wellington isn’t the worst but also isn’t the best, a girl got mugged just outside a few weeks ago which was quite frightening. being right next to st james’ park it’s also a nightmare on match days, if you don’t time leaving right you can barely leave at all.

Super central halls about 5 minute walk from bars and 10/15 to campus. Good mix of people and super social experience. Covid meant the common room was shut all year but still managed to meet a lot of people around the accom. Wifi can go down for a day the odd time but is always fixed the next day. Same can be said for any maintenance issues which are usually fixed by super friendly staff. The rooms are spacious and have plenty of storage but the carpets are a but gross and hard to clean. Shared spaces are cleaned often but flat interiors have to be cleaned by the tenants, for which there is some equipment provided like mop and broom. I was sceptical about wellington when I first got it because it wasn’t one of my options but I loved it and would recommend!
