Newport Student Village

It was fine for what I needed just a sleeping area for a quick stop over. Having a kitchen was great. For me the only issue was the lack of parking. Although there was secure parking within the premises it didn't appear to be available to me. Free on street parking was available over the weekend within walking distance but not sure about week days.

The accommodation is excellent for the price with great links to Cardiff via Newport train station. Newport is wales version of Burnley but it’s a cheap place to stay. Had all the cooking equipment I needed and the room was clean with a decent shower. Will use again.

No parking

This is a lovely easy place to stay if not traveling by car! I completely missed that bit.No parking on site which will rule it out for me in the future. Clean, comfortable and safe, but no TV in room.

The location was ideal and the price was great! It was very safe as you need a key fob to get into and move throughout the property.

That's no parking here. Visitors need to park in Asda across the road, and use the Just park app to pay for it. Fully expected everything to be basic, and it was, with everything working ok. Decent shower in the room. The welcome at reception was, well, not the friendliest.

Clean, amenities of kitchen, 24h reception

Basic (as you would expect of student accommodation), but clean and comfortable and very friendly helpful reception staff. Very thin walls, so don’t do noisy things, or expect others not to. The only issue for me was car parking - the local car park is a building site and staff can’t guarantee it won’t get locked overnight. The alternative is Asda, who can’t guarantee you won’t get fined.. 5-10 minute walk to town, better if you walk up the walk walkway along the River Usk than the dual carriageway Usk Way. Would stay again.

Absolutely nothing in the room - no kettle no cups or glasses, no tea and coffee or sugar no usb ports no TV and a draw with a hairdryer box with no hairdryer- awful bathroom - poor facilities for a £71 a night stay

Check-in was easy. The personnel were always nice and helpful. However, when I checked in, the room I was assigned was dirty, and had never been made by housekeeping. That was messy, but easily solved. It seemed like a smaller room that the one I was re-assigned. There's a lobby area and laundry access but you have to download an app and create an account in order to use the washer and dryer. It's an okay area at night but super safe during the day. Love that there is a water refill and hot water station with coffee and tea products in the lobby. I was able to leave my luggage for a few hours after checking out. And it feels super safe inside the building because I needed to scan my fob in any area I accessed (usually about 5 fob areas on the way to your room). The shared kitchen area is big and there's mugs and some utensils your can use, but mine didn't have a knife so there went my plans to cut up some fruits. There's a microwave and a big refrigerator you can use. The main issues I had were the following: no safe in the room. The shower was a horrible experience since the curtain was too short and there was no barrier separating it from the bathroom floor so the water flooded all over the place while the shower curtain kept sticking to me as I showered AND I could hear any snore or movement from my neighbor at night. And I'm sure he could hear me breathing too.

friendly staff, nice clean rooms, easy access to trains/buses/town/shopping

Excellent service, saf, helpful staff and extra clean 👌

Very welcoming staff, extremely clean room and kitchen area

No mini tour ,or explanations on how to use a shower( took a very cold shower ,couldn't wash hair ),or laundry machines ,til I complained ! I was ignored / left outside for about 10 minutes prior my check in !! Jon was a very nice guy & made all good afterwards ! ( 2 very friendly Jon / John ,one helped a lot was Jon w/ a carp tatoo ? ) Very nice kitchen w/ a wonderful view & tv !! Very high security ! Great price ! Very humid inside ! 10 -15 min.walk to the city centere !! Bed was o.k.! Desk & window were dusty !The room was very clean!Very nice kids staying there !! A black ? young man on the ground floor helped me to enter my bld.!A good accomodation to stay for a couple of days w/ a low budget !

Stay was good no clean sheets on bed so used my sleeping bag otherwise room was clean and bathroom was cleaned

Great value for money close to all amenities could do with a bit of updating in rooms bed not very comfortable mattress was to soft. Shower curtain was broken didn’t go all the way round but didn’t affect having a shower other than water going everywhere other than that still a great stay for the money paid would definitely use again if I go that way again

It’s a student dorm, so I had no expectations of grandeur. That said, I have stayed in my fair share if them. The treatment you get from their staff, who I expect are students, is dismissive. The floors are nasty and the shower and toilet are a compartment setup. The shower drain was so plugged that the who compartment flooded. The area is dodgy, and in transition. It is an area where the British government is depositing enormous numbers of recent migrants, mainly African and South Asian, mostly men. If you are going to experience Welsh culture then Newport is not the place to go. Actually South Wales is not very Welsh. Demographically it looks like any other large North American city.

Great stay, everything was clean and tidy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Easy to get too, great facilities. Would highly recommend

You pay for what you get but you may end up next to a shared kitchen and social space, as I did. The room was fine but hot. This means you won't get to sleep before 11 at the earliest - if you're travelling for business, you better be ready to be half-rested in the morning.

Inside was great, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the room was fine, though the carpet was a bit tired. It was just by a busy bridge which had a lot of traffic and mostly it became quiet when the window was closed. I will certainly think of staying in places like that again (student accommodation)

The accommodation is secure and clean and everything local the room was typical student accommodation but more than adequate for our stay mattress was to soft for my liking but overall 👍

Great value for money close to all amenities could do with a bit of updating in rooms bed not very comfortable mattress was to soft. Shower curtain was broken didn’t go all the way round but didn’t affect having a shower other than water going everywhere other than that still a great stay for the money paid would definitely use again if I go that way again

My stay here worked out really well. Got just what I expected. The accommodation was clean and easy to access. Had access to a kitchen so I could eat in rather than out and had a desk to work from. The only downside was the wifi speed was pretty poor.

Due to hot weather it was essential to leave window open, unfortunately room faced onto dual carriageway so was continually noisy preventing a good nights sleep, I am sure a room at the other end facing the river would not have this problem - shame really as otherwise good value

Located next to a major road bridge if, as we were, allocated a third floor room, the same level as the road it is very difficult to get a good nights sleep. In addition the walls are paper thin. Staff very nice and tried to help but due to limited rooms were unable to move us to the other side of the building.

Room was very clean and comfortable: Check super quick and friendly. Only slight negative was the walls were quite thin and loud snorer next door!

Nice and clean, friendly and helpful staff. The mattress was really soft, too soft for me. So overall it was ok.

Very well organised. Friendly staff and a comfortable stay in general

The property was ideal for a short get away. Transport to Cardiff was a short walk to the train station. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly.

Great staff, helpful and friendly nature. Close to all amenities. Good link to motorway.

Accomodation was ideally located, perfect for visiting Cardiff. Good location within Newport, close to transport links & local eateries. Accomodation was basic but clean, secure & perfect for a short stay. Definitely value for money, I would use again & recommend to others.
