Majority of student accommodation in Bristol is very outdated and old, but Tower is so modern and stylish. I have enjoyed having the cinema room as I don’t socialise a lot so it’s nice to stay in and have something to do. Staff are accommodating and make you feel at home

Loved my time at Tower, although it gets a lot or criticism I really think the new CSA Emily is amazing, she made my stay worthwhile and made me feel at home.

Honestly.. it’s a great building if you want commodity of city centre. Everything is just few steps away. The building is pretty nice. Rooms are of decent size and all rooms come with en-suite bathroom. Rooms are small but well organized so you can have plenty of room for everything. Only downside is that the windows don’t open. Other than that it’s a good place to live.

The location is convenient for shopping and socialising. However, the actual accommodation is far too expensive for students and it’s apparently increasing next year. Rent is not far off London prices, and most students pay the same price considering all rooms are different sizes. You could be in a much smaller room and be paying the same price as someone in a bigger room. Windows don’t open ANYWHERE, instead it’s an airflow system. Which can feel very claustrophobic - not to mention the heat in warmer months which leads to most students going home for some fresh air. Management is friendly and fairly good at sorting issues quickly. Long tenancy contract, starting in September and finishing in August, which can become very expensive if you are looking to move into your 2nd/3rd year house with friends in June/July. The almost ‘luxury’ living they portray on their website is very misleading, definitely think there are cheaper accommodations in Bristol that are better value for money.

I moved into Tower in last September. The biggest problem is that the windows in the rooms don't open and room smell musty, but I really like living here because of the friendly receptionists and the great facilities, including the gym. Recommendable!

The windows in my room don’t open at all which was a shock for me when I first moved in. I struggled to breathe and felt there was not enough oxygen in my room. This has improved a little but the air quality is still not good enough and hope I don’t develop any health issues because of it due to the lack of adequate oxygen. There are bugs in the room that I had never seen or encountered till I moved to tower that they have not been able to exterminate. There is no oven in the kitchen and they don’t provide any appliances like a kettle or toaster. There are two lifts but one of them isn’t working half the time. There is not enough equipment in the gym. The games room only has one pool cue for the pool table for the whole building. The room was very dirty when I checked in and they don’t provide any brooms or mops for cleaning. They have vacuums but only 3 for the entire building which has 480 something rooms. All things considered it’s expensive and not worth the money I pay for rent.

Very nice location and building looks very nice on inside and out. A lot of issues though. There is very little air con and instead used air recycling and was very uncomfortable to sleep in the heat. Windows cannot be opened at all so that is a major issue. In the linked studio we were in we had no oven, just a microwave. For what we are paying for its not worth it even for the location. However nonetheless it was a great experience for the first year of my course and it was a pleasure to stay.

One of the worst places I have ever stayed, the management team are useless and rude. The maintenance team and reception are really nice great people and helpful. However, management has ruined my whole experience. I would not recommend this place to any other student, the cost for what you get, an air conned room which is either too cold or too hot, there is no in-between. The rooms are not well sound proof, if you live close to social areas all you will experience is loud music in the evening caused by night staff. While I do admit there are some great things about the building; wi-fi (really fast most of the time) and the modern style. Most of the building and rooms are impractical with little amounts of storage space for anything. But once again my most pressing point not to recommend this place is the management team, they impede maintenance getting jobs done by requiring long waits on orders to solve problems.

Tower is not worth it at all! They gave me and my flatmate a small kitchen with a tiny fridge with a small freezer. First day in my room, my shower drain was clogged and it took them a month to finally to send someone to fix it up for me! The windows do not open, the filter brings a lot of dust. The walls weren’t repainted from the past renter. Oh did I mention that the reception don’t listen to you?! They pretend to write down your concerns then let you go wait like a fool! I’m not planning to stay here next year and not going to recommend it to anyone.

Living at fusion towers is amazing. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The social spaces are clean for such a big apartment block. Sometimes you have to wait for a washing machine or dryer when it gets busy there, but if you do your washing at off peak times there’s no problem. Some people have a problem that you can’t open the windows but for me it doesn’t really affect me too much because the ventilation seems to do a good enough job for me. I couldn’t have asked to be in a better location as the bus stops are right outside the building (I go to UWE) and being able to get on at Broadmead instead of everyone getting on at Cabot circus takes a little less worry off making sure I can get to uni on time. I would have loved to stay here next year but I didn’t realise how quickly this place was going to get booked up. Last year, I booked my room in February and now this year all the rooms seem to have gone in a month.
