Vita Student Newcastle Strawberry Place, newcastle-upon-tyne

Update: I've made it to a 5-star review! I've stayed here throughout my whole Bachelors' degree in Newcastle University, which is 3 years. Throughout, I have enjoyed everything! Here are a few takeaways I have: 1) It's a 5-10 minute walk to the university, depending on how fast you walk, which makes it super convenient. 2) The stadium is nearby, but it's actually not at all loud. I'd suggest getting a room that's a bit far back if you want almost no noise at all! 3) The staff are super friendly, quick, and efficient. If you have a problem expect it to be done in the same day or the next morning, there's a portal where you can put the problem and they will send you an email if it's sorted while you're away! 4) Previously, I rated it 2-stars because of the washing machine problem issue I had. But, they actually changed it to a nice modern washing machine where it has an automatic detergent and softener that is provided. This is absolutely amazing 💗 5) Housekeeping is wonderful. You can choose from a bathroom clean to a kitchen clean or an overall clean. They make it spotless and amazing! 6) Use the Ethernet! It's super fast! 7) There is an insane amount of storage spaces (even a massive space under the bed for suitcases or any other things!) It makes me sad to be leaving this accommodation next month, it felt like a really nice and long hotel stay, but it was awesome. Thank you to all the Vita Student staff!

So, I had a stressful situation while moving out of Vita Student Strawberry Place. At the last day, I ordered what I thought was a suitcase from Amazon, but when it arrived, I realized I had accidentally ordered a suitcase cover instead With very little time left before my moveout, I wasn’t sure what to do. Thankfully, when I was whining about it in the main hall, Kevin came up to me and acted quickly, and managed to find a suitcase for me in no time. Thanks to his support, I was able to fit all my clothes and belongings, complete my moveout successfully, and avoid a lot of unnecessary stress. So thanks to him and many others, I had m positive experience in Vita Student Strawberry!

I had a very disappointing experience with customer service at Vita Student Strawberry Place in Newcastle on the 1st of March. I think the lady was called francesca or Franchesca (she wears glasses). What should have been a straightforward interaction left me feeling uncomfortable and disrespected. The lady was rude and dismissive from the outset. Instead of listening or trying to help, she spoke in a way that felt mocking and unprofessional. I remained calm and polite throughout, but it felt like my patience was taken advantage of. She kept making faces and laughing at me. Customer service should be respectful, inclusive, and focused on helping residents!not judging them! I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as no one should have to feel belittled or uncomfortable in their own accommodation.

My entire experience at Vita Student has been nothing short of amazing. After living in about three different accommodations, I can say this has been the best one by far. I wanted to write this review because, when I was looking into moving here, I found that the reviews online didn’t really help me. So I hope this can be useful to at least one person. The Room
: Let’s start with the room. I absolutely love mine. It’s cozy, convenient, and just perfect for student living. I’m in a Classic room, so it’s not even the biggest option, but it still comes with a microwave, oven, and even a dishwasher I think I got fortunate in having. Breakfast & Amenities: 
The breakfast here is great. I haven’t had it recently because of my busy schedule, but when I did, I really enjoyed it especially the muffins. There’s also coffee and a good variety of other options, which is so convenient to have. Staff
: The staff at Vita are one of the standout features for me. They’re friendly, approachable, and always happy to help. I never feel intimidated asking questions. Whether it’s reception, housekeeping there are all nice People. Events
: There are weekly events that you can book to attend. I haven’t really been to many of those but I was able to see the preparations for the events and it’s very nice to see the effort that goes into making it nice for the residents so that’s good also Housekeeping
: Housekeeping is another great thing about here. I’m not the biggest fan of housekeeping not because the people doing it are bad or anything. I have just been taught from very young to keep my room clean MYSELF. However, if there’s one thing I really struggle with, it’s the strong smell of cigarettes in the walkway as some residents don’t seem to understand DON’T SMOKE IN YOUR ROOM. THIS frustrates me a lot because I’m already tired of people smoking in my face all day to come home and not have at least fresh air. Like pleaseeeee be considerate. That being said, I truly recommend Vita Student to anyone looking for student accommodation.

i really like living in vita it is very welcoming and safe for international students
