Q&A
Hello,
We are just a 10-15 minute walk away from the University of Birmingham.
We feel that Selly Oak is safe but we do have some tips to help if you feel unsure.
All of Selly Oak is very well lit with plenty of safe spots to drop into if you feel unsafe. We would always recommend to keep safe to let someone know you are walking back so they can expect you to return shortly, or alternatively we have all of the major travel links outside our front doors including the 61 and 63 bus, so you won't have to walk through Selly Oak if you decide not to.
We also promote to all students to Ask for Angela, where if you walk into any bar or establishment in the Selly Oak and request to speak to Angela, they will know you are not feeling safe and get you help immediately. This has been rolled out across Selly Oak and it's good to know in any situation should you feel you need it.
I hope this helps but please get in touch with us at 800bristolroad@prestigestudentliving.com if you would like to discuss more so we can help.
Best wishes,
Samantha Sharpe
Property Manager

Very good experience, nice staffs and people
everything is so nice here. Very sufficient! Clean and feel like home. Can’t wait to book the next year ! Everyone is very nice and i also make a lots of friends here. Highly recommended!
Not very good sound insulation otherwise everything is fine
clerks here are really friendly，I really feel satisfied after I lived here. The gym is pretty clean and I enjoy exercising here.
The environment is very good, the location is good, and the staff are very responsible.
The management staff's attitude was extremely bad after you left. Two months later, I am still waiting for the rent and deposit that have not been returned. They ignore your email and request, I don't know why. Don't check in here or you'll be begging for a refund every day. No one answer your request.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, although I am disappointed to see you have rated us just 1* review. I can see from our account records that there are no outstanding payments due to be refunded and we have received no email chases for any refunds that are over 28 working days which is outlined on our refund forms that we issue. If you are still waiting for a refund or if you have a concern, please get in touch with me directly so I can help: samantha.sharpe@prestigestudentliving.com Thank you. Samantha Sharpe - Property Manager
Great service, great room, friendly staff!
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review, it is very much appreciated. I will pass along your comments to our team who I'm sure will be pleased to hear you are happy with our service. Best wishes Samantha Sharpe - Property Manager
Good connection for studying and entertainment in building. Good, comfortable social spaces. Good location with good amenities and close to the university.
Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, we really do appreciate it and we are happy to see you have enjoyed staying with us. If we can be of further assistance, please do get in touch. Best wishes, Samantha Sharpe - Property Manager
The property has a nice location near the Selly oak shopping park with sainsburys, M&S, Iceland and sorts. But the management team is indeed poor as the opening hours is 9-5 Mon-Fri. Yes that is a student accommodation not a bank. Plus the manager is a bit too involved in social networking as she loves to monitor group chat messages and will send a warning once she thinks something could go wrong. The. constant off fire alarm is a burden but that does not compare the nearly no sound proof between the room and the corridors. Overall if you are suffering from hearing problems and is incredibly patient this place is ideal. Otherwise I would recommend Battery Park just across the street as they did a better job, for the same amount of money.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Whilst I am pleased to see you enjoy the facilties we provide at 800 Bristol Road, I am sad to see that you have some concerns and your stay with us is not quite 5*. I'd like to respond to a couple of the points you have made and hopefully this will help. Our office opening times are stipulated on our website so you would have known this information at the time of booking with us. As we are a smaller student accommodation building, if we had teams on the desk 24/7 then we would be open when most of our students are sleeping. Our office opening times are Monday to Friday, 9am - 5.30pm and we also have an on-call process for out of hours. This includes student wardens, a full security team and also the property manager being on call for the event of any escalations and we are very responsive in supportung our students when the office is not open. If you have a concern about noise, then please do report this to our teams so we can investigate and this includes during out of hours and we will resolve this following the procedures. With regards to the social media, the property team are in the WeChat group and we monitor just to make sure everyone is okay. We rarely respond to the conversation in there unless there is a message directed at us or if there is negative behaviour which we address with students directly as opposed to within the group. We have only ever removed one person for direct conflict after repeated warnings but besides that, the property team do not interfere unless necessary. The team at 800 Bristol Road work hard to deliver an excellent service and this is generally the case if you read our previous reviews over the years. I would love to be able to chat with you about your experiences and work with you to improve your overall experience. Please get in touch with me via email samantha.sharpe@prestigestudentliving.com or come and chat to Jacques in reception so we can help. Best wishes, Samantha Sharpe Property Manager
The location is good which is quite near to the groceries. And the living environment are clean and nice. However it will be better if there is 24/7 staff around in consider the higher price than other student commendation. Furthermore the reception is out of service sometimes. Management team efficiency should be improved rather than let students shoulder the inconvenience, given the higher fees we already pay.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your comments on the living environment. We work very hard to deliver an excellent service and this is reflected in previous reviews and feedback we have received so I am a little surprised and disappointed to see the comments relating to the reception service and team efficiency and would like to hear more about your experience please. Can you email samantha.sharpe@prestigestudentliving.com so I can find out more? Regarding the office times, we are open Monday to Friday between 9am and 5.30pm, and we have a team of student wardens who support us during out of hours as well as security available 24/7 for urgent matters. We do sometimes close the shutter if we are about the property helping another student but we always leave a contact number so you can call the team for anything and we will come and help you. I look forward to hearing from you so we can support you with your concerns. Best wishes, Samantha Sharpe - Property Manager

I'm a student who just moved in this year and I'm glad I made the decision. I had a very comfortable stay at 800 Bristol Road. The heating of the apartment is very warm in winter, and the size of the space is very suitable for their own living. There are many cupboards for storing things. In addition, it is very convenient to get to school and the city center. There is a bus stop right in front of the apartment. In addition, it is about 15 minutes' walk from school. Even if you don't like walking, you can take a bus. The front desk staff were very friendly and patient to solve my problems. It's also very convenient to pick up the delivery. In addition, the front desk will prepare some snacks from time to time, I like it very much! In short, I highly recommend you to stay!

Very friendly staff, clean common areas, lots of amenities, walking distance to uni, my only concern is that staff isn’t around after 5pm and on weekends. It would be great to have someone around 24/7. Other than that great experience!
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I am pleased to see you enjoy living with us and I will certainly pass on your comments to the team. We do have student wardens who cover whilst the team are off site and a full security team on call in the event of an emergency so whilst we may not be in the office 24/7, there is a 24/7 rota of support available to all of our students. I will be more than happy to chat to you about this should you want more information. Best wishes, Samantha SharpeProperty Manager
I thought it was interesting that they registered our need for pumpkins two weeks before Halloween so that we could make pumpkin lights.

This is my second year at 800 Bristol Road, and I am so happy with my decision. The location is perfect, I don’t feel isolated or secluded from the city. University is close enough to walk to, but there’s still a direct student friendly bus line in case. There is also a student friendly bus line to the city center. The space itself is very clean and well kept, and the staff are very friendly, respectful, and flexible. I’d highly recommend this accommodation to any international student looking to have a wonderful university experience while still living in a more private accommodation.

I definitely recommend

Wifi speed is fast and all other facilities such as laundry room, gym ect are reasonable and easy to ues. The staff here are really friendly and helpful, and the location is good. You can get everything you want by walk, it also near to the train station and not far away from the university.

Excellent accommodation in a great location, close to shops, university and train station. Great social spaces, with an onsite gym and cinema room.

800 is perfect. I love the decoration of the room and the communal spaces are great for hanging out. Sam the manager is friendly and always has a smile and helps you with your problems. It is a bit further away than other student places but it’s not too bad and actually means you get to exercise and have shops across the road. I love it here :)

Thank you for your wonderful review. We love to support our students and deliver a service that meets all of your needs!
800 Bristol Road is a new building as it's only 3 years' old. It has loads of communal spaces on the ground floor which are perfect for having friends over to visit or to entertain your family - the Dinner Party Room has a huge oak table for 10 people, and the site team can dress it so it feels very bespoke and friendly. The bedroom has everything you need - they're bigger than other studios in Selly Oak and have all the facilities you might need. The study spaces are really comfortable and meet your needs. The gym on site is really well equipped and saves you a fortune on a local gym membership. It means that in the winter months you can still be safe and exercise so you don't lose out. The site team are really friendly and will always put the students first. 800 Bristol Road really is the perfect space for studying but also for feeling part of a community, a home away from home.
Thank you for your kind review. We are very pleased to hear that 800 Bristol Road met all of your social and academic needs!
