Amigo Living, Newcastle Under Lyme

This student accommodation is honestly better than some other places, especially considering that others charge much more for similar services. The en suite rooms were very decent and comfortable. The bathroom/toilet was a good size, and the kitchen top was really nice with a conduction hob. Also 2 common rooms with TVs and various games - good to use with friends. If you’re a student or working professional, the location is super convenient, there’s a bus station literally 10-second walk away. Overall, I was very happy with the accommodation. The only downside is that the fire alarm can be a bit sensitive at times, but other than that, it’s been a very good experience. The laundry room is located on the ground floor/basement. You’ll need coins, it’s around £6 for both washing and drying. The team at Amigo Living are great. Craig is the person I spoke to the most he’s consistently helpful, friendly and always gets things sorted quickly at the accom. Gemma works in the office and handles things well behind the scenes. Overall, my experience here was very good.

Overall a decent place, clean, nice room, get what you expect really. Hopefully the pictures show you what the rooms look like better than I can explain. Caretaker is great, very helpful and nice, always on call to help, top guy! Shame management don’t seem quite so invested in the place, want to get by on the bare minimum. Things to know if you go the this place, in the room: bed, desk, desk chair (not super comfortable), wardrobe, lounge chair, tv (can be requested) sink, draining board, 2 hobs, oven, kettle, kitchen storage, fridge freezer, microwave, shower, toilet, sink, bathroom mirror, bike storage downstairs, paid washer dryer downstairs. So things you might need include toaster, bedside table, draining rack, cleaning products including vacuum. Be careful with bike storage, last year a bike was stolen from the rack (guy from outside the building). Also in summer, rooms get unbearably hot, so prepare yourself if it’s a good summer. Location is great, centre of Newcastle, walk to the bus stop, shops, clubs. Post like letters is posted into your separate post box, parcels are buzzed at the door but the intercom didn’t work the whole time I was there so bit useless, had to run downstairs before they left (get it fixed). Like I said overall pretty good, a phew things that drag it down.
