, September 2012: very friendly staff! 4/5

, August 2012: Everything was all right, I got a quiet room, that's what I was looking for. 3/5

, July 2012: Student room was comfortable and what you would expect for the money. Very close to university and town and with nice views over a field. 4/5

, September 2011: Thanks for a very enjoyable stay. I thought the staff at reception and in the catering unit were very good and made our stay even more enjoyable. My comments on the standard of the room are based on what I have encountered at other universities. In several cases the room has included a shower and in some cases a TV. I can not remember if Newcastle offers such facilities but this would have been the icing on the cake. Its certainly not an issue that would prevent me from re-booking or recommending the service to others. 5/5
