I'm currently a 3rd year medical student at Newcastle University, and I am incredibly satisfied with the accommodation. It's located very close to the Medical school and RVI, and I can reach both places within 20 minutes whilst walking at a leisurely speed. It's excellent value for money considering the location, quality of accommodation, and quality of service. The accommodation was newly refurbished with everything, excluding the showers, being brand new and they function very well. The rooms are warm and cosy. Both the Wifi and Ethernet is fast and stable, and I've never encountered any problems with them. My Wifi is about 88Mbps download, and 95Mbps upload, with a latency of 20ms. The staff are exceptionally good and friendly, all maintenance issues are resolved promptly, and I've never had any of my queries and maintenance issues ignored. All non-first years get our own block which is excellent and you get to know the staff very well and they do care about our experience.

Thank you very much for your lovely kind review. We are so happy that you are enjoying your time on site.
I have a very pleasant stay at Leazes Parade. The rent is very student-friendly and the staff are nice and we get FREE STUFF every once in a while! The room and common kitchen areas are nice and spacious, just right for me. Would definitely recommend this place if you are not keen on spending too much on accommodation.
We hope the remainder of your stay is just as pleasant! Thank you for the lovely review!
The staff here are friendly and the place is clean. Would recommend
Thank you for the amazing review, espcially about the Staff. We're so lucky to have a talented and friendly team at the Site.
The staffs here are very friendly and the environment is clean. The people here are very sociable and the wifi speed is GREAT!
We definitely agree about the Wi-Fi speeds being super quick! Thanks for the great review!
A newly renovated area, peaceful and far from town. For the rent amount, it is pretty decent
Thank you for your review :-)
The staffs are very friendly and helpful.
Thank you very much. We love helping our lovely students :-)
Leazes Parade provides a wonderful atmosphere and instantly felt like home to me! The value for money is undeniable, with the space provided for the cost is just amazing, I'll be sad to leave my room! It is a noticeable distance from the university and the city centre, but it is completely manageable. Book with Homes for Students and enjoy your stay :)
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so pleased you are enjoying your stay here :-)
Amazingly good value, would definitely recommend to any student who wants clean, smart and modern accommodation for half the price of any university owned or other private one. It is an extra 10mins walk into the centre but still close to other student accommodation
Thank you for your kind review :-)
This is easily the best value student accommodation in Newcastle and I would highly recommend it to anyone and especially those on a budget. The location is really good; it’s about a 20 minute walk to Newcastle University and the city centre. The staff are very friendly and helpful and quick to reply to any concerns you have. Cleaning has to be done by yourself though but that shouldn’t be a problem if you keep on top of keeping the place tidy. The social experience is pretty unique in the sense that the accommodation is relatively small and not everyone is in the same year so therefore there is more of a “family” feel where everyone kind of knows each other pretty well. The wifi is really, really good and is in fact better than my home wifi! It has speeds of around 100mbps. For a place that costs under £100 to rent, this is really good value for money.
The family feel is definitely the way we describe it amongst the team as well. We want all of our Residents to feel safe and to have a good time at Leazes Parade. Thank you for the positive and thoughtful review.
This year has been a weird one! I panicked when Newcastle university said there was no uni accom left after the A level fiasco but I found leazes parade and this was in my budget . I can’t complain about anything , cleaning is 1 star as because of Covid this hasn’t happened . Same with the social aspects ! But the rooms are lovely and so is the location although I would prefer to be a bit closer in city. Staff are lovely and I wish I would have been able to stay there every month, not only outside national lockdowns.
Thank you for the review, whilst we've all had a tough time with Covid-19 we as a Site Team do our best to ensure all the shared spaces i.e. the Common Room, block stairwells, laundry ect are kept clean and hygenic. I think the confusion may be due to the Residents are responsible for keeping their flats clean and tidy themselves. There is no professional cleaner included in order to make us the best value for money accomodation in Newcastle.
Great accommodation, cheap, modern and good value for money. 10 min walk from campus.
Thanks for the review, we do try to provide the best possible accomodation at the lowest price.
Staying here for first year of uni. All my friends in other accommodations are very jealous of how little I’m paying! Great value for money and quite a good location, especially for the medical school/north end of campus. Oven is small and a bit dodgy. Fridges not actually as big as on pictures from show flat, but sufficient. Would be better to have 6 shelves in fridge/freezer for a 6 person flat. Cupboard space good though. Good living space and rooms are decently sized. Could do with more storage (shelves, hooks for coats), but enough space under beds to allow for overpacking! Could do with kettle, toaster and maybe an iron being included- would pay slightly more for this to be sorted without having to split the cost between flatmates. The same with a TV license. Most problems are sorted out quickly where possible. Like that we can control our own heating. Overall very happy for how much I’m paying. Also free parking right outside your door!
Thanks for the honest review! We will always take any feedback into consideration and we'll see what we can do for next year.
Really good accommodation. Leazes has been massively updated since I stayed in my first year. Great staff, that always have smiles on their faces, very clean and tidy, if you have a problem with maintenance, this is done straight away. Events every month, where you can win some great prizes. Really good price, for a really fantastic accommodation.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We've got a LOT more planned in the New Year when we're finally back in the Office!
As soon as I entered the facility I immediately noticed how clean everything was, from reception to the kitchen area and my personal bedroom, everything was spotless. Every member of staff I encountered on my moving in day was absolutely delightful and the most polite and considerate people I have ever met. One person that stands out to me the most I think is called Dawn she has blonde hair and had it tied up, she was so helpful and just a genuinely nice person to speak to. Overall I would recommend anyone looking for student accommodation to apply for Leazes Parade.
Thank you for a fantastic review! Dawn herself was very touched by this comment and as a site we're very lucky to have her on the team!
Staff is really friendly and the whole place is well looked after. Super clean and tidy. Good value for money
Thank you for the review, just wait until the Common Room is finished!
Leazes Parade is an amazing place. Staff really look after you! Price is good! At the moment they are building us a common room which is great, can wait to see it finished. Would like to see more social space in the accommodation 😀
Thank you very much for the review! We're working on that and we'll hopefully have a brand-new, gorgeous common room for everyone to use!
Love Love Love it - Staff are so kind and caring especially during my isolation period, property is so clean, maintenance is done immediately, huge gardens for socializing, lots of free goodies. Price is great for what you receive.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so glad, you are enjoying your stay at Leazes Parade.
Great location for Uni! Garden/social area massive and very well kept. loads of parking, which is free. new common room etc coming in September. Staff on site are great and really approachable! it's like what it says on the tin! MINT!
Booked a flat again with my friends. Leazes Parade was good in my first year but looks like its going to be even better in my 3rd! Accommodation is getting a new look and I can't wait to see the new common room and all the other things that are being done. Free car parking which is saving me a fortune too!
Booked with my friends and was able to choose which flat I wanted to live in. Accommodation nice and clean even though they have been refurbishing it. Show flat is lovely and the other flats will be the same when i move back in. Staff, are so helpful, nothing is a problem. Can't wait to see the new common room and all the other things they are doing for September. Highly recommend this accommodation - accommodation & staff that care!
Easy booking process, small deposit, good prices, money back incentives, brilliant location, stunning grounds, brilliant staff :-)
Viewed Leazes Parade and fell in love with it straight away. The site is set back in lovely gardens with so much space and very well kept by the maintenance man on site. Parking for cars if you have one! Rooms are being painted and look fresh. Furniture is all new. You get 100mb of wifi. Price of rooms are excellent . One happy customer :-)
So much out door space, bedrooms, kitchen & lounges are a good size, new common room coming soon, staff can't do enough for you, they even let me choose my flat & room for a perfect view, so peaceful! lots of parking, which they are offering for free in September which cuts costs down even more as parking in the city is so expensive. Walking distance to my University - Newcastle. All costs included. Events take place throughout the year which are free! What more could you ask for?
Covid-19: Very clean site overall. Cleaner cleans the stairwells & common area. The accommodation provides cleaning items to keep your flat tidy & clean.
Peaceful, fab gardens for social space, great staff on site - nothing is a problem, brand new furniture, white goods etc for 2020 intake, I have been told that they are also going to build a common room, new laundry, paint the whole accommodation for intake in September. Hopefully this does go ahead as when the Uni had the building it was very dated and not looked after! If the building is going to look like the show flat - It will be the best in town! and all for US!
Covid-19: Spoken to me about it but really not concerning - as they seam to have everything in hand!
This accommodation is in such a peaceful setting and the current owners are refurbishing it to a very high standard. Staff there are amazing. Looking forward to sharing a flat with all my friends in September :-)
Covid-19: Chats with the staff on a regular basis - to keep us updated.
I haven't moved into the accommodation yet but the staff have kept me updated re coming to the property once all the refurbishment has been carried out. I have given the property 5/5 because it is going to be a great place to live in September :-)
Covid-19: Brilliant - keep me update every week.
