Thank you so much for your 5 star review!! It's always wonderful to know you're enjoying your stay with us :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Is good Good value for money Internet has its problems sometimes and sometimes the Alarms go off randomly for hours at a time
Thank you for your review! We really appreciate all feedback. To our knowledge, we have only had one incident with the alarm on one of our external lifts, which was promptly addressed as soon as it came to our attention. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by this, as we are aware it took our contractors a little while to shut the alarm off, however, it would be great if you came into the office to discuss the other alarms that you mentioned as we are keen to get to the bottom of this.

Currently living here through my 2nd year of studying. Relatively quiet for a student accommodation which is great when you have early starts. Good facilities and huge space for studying which always stays quiet and clean. Good location and my studio has ample storage :)
Thank you for your review! That's amazing to hear that you're enjoying staying with us. We really pride ourselves on the maintenance and cleanliness of our site as well as the storage space that our rooms offer, so to hear that reflected in your review is really appreciated :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Honestly no complaints, well kept and nice
Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Overall glassworks is nice place to stay in
Thank you for this lovely review!! :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Would recommend as it's quite nice and comfortable in a decent location. However, the lift in my section has been broken essentially entire year I've lived here, and the renovation to the reception has made it a little bit more separate and isolating as I'm never sure who's in (but it's understandable for GDPR). Thank you!
Thank you for your review!! We can only apologise for the out-of-service lift in your building, but trust we are doing everything in our ability to get this resolved as a matter of priority. Although our reception now has a partition, please be assured that we are always around to help. We always try to give notification of when we will be out of office for a while, so if the front desk is empty and you haven't heard from us, we should only be around a couple of minutes before seeing to you :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
it’s sooo nice, room is big enough and close to Morrisons!!! All stuffs are really nice and always try their best to help me!!
Thank you for your five star review!!! We're always happy to help resolve any queries you might have :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
The only flaw is that the elevator in my apartment has been broken more than one month and didn’t fix yet.

great staff and perfect for first accommodation!
Thanks for your review, we're so glad you've enjoyed staying with us :) - Evie Customer Service Advisor
Glassworks is an accommodation that can be considered average, neither too good nor too bad. On the positive side, my studio is well-designed and new, with good lighting and plenty of storage space. Moreover, the location of the accommodation is also convenient. Additionally, some of the staff members are friendly and helpful. However, I have encountered a couple of issues during my stay at Glassworks. Firstly, the lift has not been working for over a year now, which can be inconvenient at times. Secondly, the number of washing machines available in the laundry area is not sufficient for the number of people living here, leading to long waiting times.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback! - Evie
I enjoy living at the glassworks, great appliances and friendly helpful and patient staff. Plenty comfortable social spaces. And location is prime distance from university.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're always happy to help and want to make your time with us as comfortable as possible! :) - Evie
Overall great location, staff, room and view! Only issue is the elevator has been broken since moving in (3 months). This has been especially difficult being on the 4th floor and having a partner who is disabled.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback! We can only apologise for the inconvenience caused by the out-of-service lift, but trust that we are doing everything within our abilities to get this fixed as a matter of priority. - Evie :)
Minor flaws but overall good for the price.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate all feedback :) - Evie

Thank you for the feedback but please let us know what we can do to get from good to great! Let us know if you need anything. Tom Property Manager
Glassworks is a fantastic place to live in especially for overseas students as it offers range of events and social gatherings to chill, proper sanitation and maintenance all at economical pricing!!!! Staff takes so much efforts to make everyone residing feel at home by regularly engaging in cultural events and festivals. The staff especially Bill, Evie and sally (have only met them) are so friendly and kind. Moreover the safety of those living is not compromised.

Happy with the accommodation, the team have been helpful & kind when i first moved in. The accommodation is close to Northumbria university but slightly further to Newcastle university. I really enjoyed the welcome drinks event & met a lot of other students. I would recommend the Glassworks to anyone looking for a spacious room with good facilities & staff on hand to help.

I had an exceptional experience during my stay at Prestige Student Living The Glassworks, thanks to the incredible team managing the property. Sally Davison, the accommodation manager, went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and welcoming environment for all residents at The Glassworks. Her dedication, prompt responses, and friendly demeanor truly made a difference in making the place feel like a second home. I would also like to commend Bill, the property maintenance head at The Glassworks, for his outstanding efforts in maintaining the facility. The premises were always in top-notch condition, and any issues were addressed swiftly thanks to his expertise and commitment to excellence. Additionally, the housekeeping and property maintenance staff at The Glassworks deserve special recognition for their hard work and dedication. Their attention to detail and efforts in keeping the accommodation clean and well-maintained were greatly appreciated.
The Glassworks Prestige Student Living in Newcastle truly exceeded expectations. From the moment I inquired about their accommodations, their attentive team displayed exceptional professionalism. The booking process was seamless, and they promptly addressed all my queries regarding accommodation payments. Their dedication to customer service is evident in their thorough and timely responses. It's clear that they prioritize a comfortable and worry-free experience for their residents. The Glassworks Prestige Student Living in Newcastle is an exceptional accommodation option that truly stands out. The attention to detail in design and furnishings creates an inviting and luxurious ambiance.

Wonderful Management team. Very warm and welcoming. Good location with easy transportation access to anywhere.
I cannot speak highly enough of the accommodation and especially the staff - they are amazing - so friendly and always available to help or have a conversation with. The studio I have is well-equipped, quiet, safe and facilitates my studies. The location is perfect - close to artsy Ouseburn, the quayside, and only a very nice 20 minute walk to Newcastle University. Shops (Morrison's, Tesco, Sainsbury's) are close by, and it's only a 15 minute walk to shopping on Northumbria Street.
I so much enjoyed my time in the accommodation, made amazing friends , in a short time . The rooms are very big and nice so as comfy , the location is amazing because it’s in the heart of ouseburn which a pretty much student small town , management are so friendly and nice. I so recommend it
It’s been such a great experience living here for the past year. Sally, Kayleigh, Bill and all the other staff have been extremely helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to live in a safe space (there’s staff on site 24/7), with lots of social activities. There are also freebies (snacks, bottles, drinks etc) available for the residents every now and then, which is honestly a really nice perk. It is also close to both Northumbria and Newcastle Universities. Ouseburn is a lovely area to live in :)
I began living at the Glassworks later than most, so I ended up paying far more. Ultimately, the Glassworks is a fantastic accommodation with plenty of amenities and very friendly staff. The only real issues faced whilst living here were the issues with occasional rubbish pile up over the weekend (though in speaking to staff, this is on the rubbish collection company) and with the lift in my building being out for 2 months. Overall, communication is very good and the staff are always keen to say hello. A lovely place to live.
Lived in glassworks now for a few months after needing somewhere last minute to stay. I can’t fault the place, staff are so accommodating and nothing is ever to much. Staff are lovely, rooms are amazing. Wish I could stay longer.
Thank you for your review! We would be happy to have you back if you ever needed another student accommodation :) - Evie
Staff are pleasant, particularly the guy with black hair and glasses who comes to fix things and do inspections here and there. Lots of events are organised for students so great to meet new people. Lots of storage especially in the studio flats, however studio has a microwave oven combi instead of a full oven (there is a communal kitchen with a proper oven tho). Bit more expensive than some accommodation however for what your getting it is value for money. Only complaint is washing machines and tumble dryers are through circuit which is pretty pricey but thats a complaint about every student accommodation (never seen an accommodation thats not with circuit laundry). Definitely the nicest student accommodation I've stayed at during my course.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I will make sure to pass your comments onto our Maintenance Operative, Bill. - Evie :)
one of the most over priced accomdations ever- the events are for children and some of the staff are arrogant and place feels like its a concentration camp and studios are tiny and not much space between the rooms. place preys on wealthy international students whom will pay anything. true student glassworks worst true in the country. also had some fraud incidents here and bullying and both were got off free with no punishment .atrocious experience.
I currently live at True student Newcastle Glassworks and I am very satisfied. There are so many amazing events each month that are totally free to join and enjoy the best student time. The public area is always spotless and comfortable, there is free high-speed wifi in all buildings, the staffs are super friendly and supportive, etc.
The staff is lovely, friendly and very helpful. The rooms are quite nice and spacious. It's in a nice area (about 10 mins away from Northumbria University), and the accommodation is very secure. Some really cool activities are available and it's always so much fun! Quite expensive, but overall worth the price. I really enjoyed staying here!
Staff are very friendly and helpful. I had a wonderful experience living here for 2 years. Very sad to leave, thanks to everyone for the great memories!
