I’ve loved my stay at Newarke point, the rooms perfect and the staff are great and host regular social events which has helped me make new friends. For instance Jessie’s coffee morning last week where she made me this bear coffee. I will be staying here next year!

DO NOT BOOK HERE During my stay here (25/26) my elevator was broken, meaning I had to move into the 9th floor, and when I was told I would be given compensation, I still haven’t received anything. Furthermore, there was no running water for around 4 days, and we were only given things to help us after the 3rd day. Fortunately I was a first year student and not a third year dealing with multiple assignments, coursework and deadlines. However I STILL HAVE BEEN GIVEN NO COMPENSATION. Additionally, I was moved from out of my room and was downgraded, I was also promised compensation and guess what, no compensation was given. I would give 0 stars if I could but to be honest the security guards were nice people and were very patient, the staff at the desk don’t care and I’m sure the company doesn’t care one bit about its students that live there. I would not recommend this building to anyone. P.S multiple of my friends were moved to rooms that had a mould issue, they were not given any compensation (how expected of this accommodation)
RUTHIE WEAVER
Lived here for two years never really had any issues in first year but second year after it was bought by homes for students was quite different During my second year we had nearly a week with no running water ( I’m aware this issue was out of control but for the first few days no where near enough was done to support residents and the water bottles they claimed to give out were barely ever accessible) My block also has no working lift for most of the second semester which wasn’t convenient when I lived on the fourth floor and had friends who lived on the sixth floor - the lift outage was also over the Easter break so I had to bring many bags including a heavy suitcase down all four flights of stairs on my own Homes for students were also renovating the property for the year whilst we were all living it in which we were not aware of when resigning for the year - this renovation included making residents move out of their rooms to a different room with very little notice - in my case I was given less then a weeks notice and then when I went to collect the keys to the new flat on the day I had been told they would be available on we had to wait quite a while for the keys just to be given a flat with very visible mould throughout the bathroom that clearly hadn’t been checked beforehand with it taking quite a while for us to get moved again - overall not a very good experience and wouldn’t recommend The renovations to the living areas do look really good but unfortunately I really just had to live through the inconveniences of it and didn’t really get to spend much time in it at all

To keep it very short and brief, this site is a pathetic excuse for student accomodation, the management and staff realistically do not care one bit about the residents and just wantt to make it to the end of the day. The building is extremely cheap and a lot of corners have been cut regarding the building quality. Amenities are always out of order, the elivators did not work for months. Please save yourself and do not decide to live here
Aaron
Students should not apply to this accommodation. The maintenance services has been appalling, the buildings are absolutely full of faults, and the growth of mold is at dangerous levels. The only redeeming grace is that the reception staff are lovely, and I hope they are able to find jobs at other locations.
