Q&A
It is just out of City centre location but the area is pretty quiet with good double glazing windows!
Yes, it is all Newcastle Univeristy students. Allocations are fair & if you need any help the team at the university are great.
We have flats of mostly 5 & 6 beds with the exception of one 3 bed flat.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave uS a review.

Great place to live friendly staff.

Really enjoyed living at Unite… Really enjoyed living at Unite Students, Wellington Street Plaza. Staff are really helpful and friendly, and the facilities are great for first year students. I would definitely recommend living here :)
Thank you so much for you lovely review! We have a lot of first year students on site so it's great to find new friends when do our on site events! So close to the City centre, Business school and Computer science building Plaza is a great location :)
Generally okay, many maintenance issues although they are generally fixed in a timely manner - still frustrating though.
Thank you for your review we appreciate your honest feedback! Our maintenance team are always here to help, the maintenance app is very handy so requests can be logged straight away :)
Great student accommodation in the perfect area for getting to lectures and getting into town. Staff are polite and friendly. And the rooms are great, spacious and have high standard finished!
We appreciate the time you have taken to leave this review thanks very much 😃 Team Plaza love having the students on site and are always here to help/ have a chat!
I've been living here for 3 months now and really enjoy my experience. The maintenence team are very efficient and the reception staff are super helpful. I wasn't sure about it when I was first assigned here but they really exceeded expectations. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you Holly 😊 This is a lovely review! Will make sure the maintenance team see this, they are always on hand to help where needed!
pretty good i like it banging accomodation
Excellent experience, couldn’t have found a better place to live for my first year of uni.
The team at wellington are amazing. Maintenance is always speedy when fixing things. I had suffered an unjustly while staying at Wellington and the welfare team came and checked in on me regularly to see if I needed any support and always assured me that they would help if needed
Management team where very helpful and friendly when requesting a room change.
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!
