I like various activities. Thanks for organization.
Thanks for your review! Pleased to hear you like our various activities and events we host onsite here at King Square Studios! We will be sure to pass your comments onto the team.
I'm writing this review because they said they'd donate £1 to Student Minds if I did. The location is lovely, and it's good to have a common room, a cinema room, and a laundry room. They give out free notebooks sometimes, but that doesn't make up for the fact that there are sometimes silverfish under my pillow. I told the team about several issues when I moved in in September, it's now February and they haven't been fixed. The 'fully fitted kitchen' that I share with my friend is two paces wide and two paces across, and wasn't equipped with a bin or a kettle, and the door to the microwave-oven was on one hinge. I'm paying more than my student loan for this room. It's nice to only be a 20min walk from UoB, though, and 10min to Cabot Circus.
Thanks for your review! Student Crowd are donating £1 for every review left between now and April to Student Minds so thank you for contributing to this! We are pleased to hear you are enjoying our location and facilities we have for our residents at King Square Studio.

The building is a maze! Social areas and laundry may be very far from your room. The staff leaving after 5 pm is not helpful at all for packages or getting locked out. Other than that though it’s pretty nice, staff are sweet!

Not too bad, fire alarm goes off a lot and maintenence isn't very quick
Thank you for your review. Thank you for your feedback and comments! We will feed this back to the team and hopefully we can improve your living experience staying with us.

Good customer service and nice location. Hallways are sometimes dirty and the outside of the accommodation too.
Thank you very much for your review and helpful feedback. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the site team!
It’s a good accommodation, but the facilities in the accommodation is too old and it’s not clean. Especially the lift, it’s not work at almost the time.

It is the worst accomdation I've ever lived and the price is so high. When i moved in the room. It is not clean, full of dust and silverfish. However, the room is very big, which is nice and i can hardly hear my neighbour. Ineffective maintenance team: I lived beside the street, i can smell weed from time to time and cold air often leaks from the windows. I reported this since September it's still not fixed. The elevator is broken for at least a quarter of all time. The range hood is useless, extremely low power and cannot be turned off, the button on it is just a decoration. I contacted the maintain team about this, but they say this is how they designed. Lastly is the receptionist, some of them are rude, low efficiency and be off the work far eariler than they should be. I highly appreciated the new receptionist Mattia, he is the best receptionist even though he just came to work for one week. He did an excellent job and is very responsible.

King Square Studios is a great place for students to stay. It is safe and you get great value for money. It is close to the city centre, bus stops as well as other things which makes life easier. I have enjoyed my stay there and would recommend to a friend.
Many thanks for your review and we are glad you are enjoying your time with Abodus! We will be sure to pass your comments on to the site team!
Facilities are poorly maintained, addressing the occasionally suspended hot water. I am lucky enough to use the elevator a few times before it stopped working. Staff are really nice and polite. Facilities in room are usable after finding the maintenance team. Generally a fair accommodation, but not recommended concerning the price which raised every year.

After living here for a bit now there are problems that keep occurring like: no hot water for 48 hours, wifi being unreliable, unclean hallways and common areas, packages always disappearing when ordering, garage door left open so that anyone can come in through the smoking area. Also most if not all the flats where not a good standard of cleanliness when we first moved in. The only really good thing about this place is how central it is. Everything else seems not worth it's money.

The facilities are very old. The kitchen and bathrooms show signs of deterioration everywhere. The windows do not close tightly. The pipes are often blocked. No maintenance for weeks after reports. Parcels are often lost at reception. And emails are sent threatening residents with unreasonable charges. Including but not limited to Locked out of Room - £42 / person. not recommended for any student.

Depends on personal expectations, the staffs are all friendly, but the maintenance provided are not efficient in my opinion. For example, the elevator usually broke, which has huge impact on living experience for those who live on 4th or 5th floor. Moreover, the locations of utility room(garbage room, washing machine...) are strange. People have to walk in the building like a maze to reach the destination.

room 219 is large and has a great view
Thank you very much for your review and helpful feedback. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the site team!
King Square Studios has been a lovely place to stay for the past year, so much so that I have rebooked for another year. The rooms are a great size with everything you need. A special mention to the on-site staff and management who are wonderful.
Thank you very much for your review and helpful feedback. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the site team!
The manager of this place Daniel Reed is the nicest man you will ever meet. His helpful personality along with his positive attitude is very refreshing. I know that as a student it’s rare to come across these sort of people within student housing companies but he has been a joy and I would recommend him to any students looking for accommodation.
Thank you very much for your review and helpful feedback. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the site team!
Good accommodation, recommend!
Thank you very much for your review and helpful feedback. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the site team!
this is my first time to come this accommodation. everything are good. my room is really clear and the staff from reception helped me to solve a lot of problems like repairing my lights
Many thanks for your review! We will be sure to pass your comments on to the site team!
Quite frankly it’s a terrible choice of accommodation considering the price and quality. People are loud and inconsiderate; the maintenance rate and quality is low, and the general atmosphere is not pleasant. For the price of a twodio, you can get a studio flat in uni accommodation with a lot more perks. Plus, there have been many safety concerns: dysfunctional fire alarm, homeless people tailgating and sleeping inside, staff entering rooms without permission, etc. People smoke inside their rooms and leave trash outside which stink up whole corridors. You can definitely get away with better deals than this.
Thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear you are not satisfied with your experience at Abodus. If possible, please can you contact a member of the management team at KSS as they were unaware of these issues and it would be great to talk further with you to see if we can make any changes for you.
Outstanding customer service, with issues always resolved promptly
Many thanks for your review! We will be sure to pass your comments on to the site team!
Honestly best accommodation I have ever live in! The staffs here are so welcoming and friendly and they are super duper helpful with a lot of things. More importantly, if there are any complaints on any matters, the management quickly resolve it. It’s really hard to find a student accommodation like this! Will definitely miss this place once I move out!
Thank you so much for your excellent review. We are so pleased you have enyoyed your time living at KSS and will be sure to feedback this to the team.
Location of KSS is very convenient as it's near the city centre. Large and extra large studios are very spacious! Fast wifi. Also, receptionist (Mia) is always kind, friendly and helpful, so makes the experience of living here great!
Hi Yimin, Thanks so much for your lovely review and helpful feedback! We will be sure to pass your comments on to the KSS team!
So far we’ve had a lovely experience living at King Square Studios. While initially we did have some issues that were usually out of the staffs and building managers control, any issues we did have however were resolved quickly and we have thus been very happy with the service at King Square Studios. Following from that the receptionists are extremely lovely and so willing to help and go above and beyond for any issues or queries we have had, so helpful in fact that we decided to rebook for another year. The location is also great being right next to Cabot circus, as well as not to far from the Harbour, so we are within great access to shops, restaurants and bars.
Thank you very much for your review. Really pleased to hear you are enjoying your time at KSS and the staff are taking good care of you. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the team.
Due to heavy rain in Bristol, it caused a leak of water into my room, I immediately got the help i needed within minutes of the incident which shows how professional and caring the staff at kings square studios are. Also, I am very happy with how they helped me through this situation as they booked me a hotel right away including a voucher for uber eats as well. Overall I highly recommend students to choose king square studios as their new home at bristol!
Thank you very much for your detailed review and helpful feedback. We are pleased to hear you are enjoying your time at KSS, and that the property team have taken such good care of you. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the team!
Good accommodation, location is perfect, near everything. Staff is really nice and welcoming! A bit sad that the common room and the games room is closed after 11pm, we pay for 24/7 utilities and we cannot use them
Many thanks for your review. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying most aspects of King Square Studios, and we are looking forward to your continued stay with us!
I would happily live here again. If I’ve had any problems they’ve been sorted out effectively and quickly by reception.
Thank you very much for your review and helpful feedback. We will be sure to pass your comments on to the site team!
Some students aren’t friendly. Me and my friend have been discriminated at least 1 time. Especially the social area
Hello, any thank you for your review. We encourage you to please reach out and report any instances of discrimination, as we want the environment at KSS to be inclusive and we want you to feel safe and comfortable during your time with us!
Receptionist staff are the best! Management have been slightly slacking but understandable as they have newly acquired the property from the previous owners. Social areas are great, meet a great variety of different people! Beautiful location, very close to everything.
Many thanks for your review, and for your helpful feedback! We will be sure to pass your comments on the the site team!
Worst place ever! Money minded people who refuse to refund when students are not able to travel there and who already paid well before the pandemic. Definitely not recommended!
Thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear you are not satisfied with your experience at Abodus. We would welcome further feedback so we know what we can do to improve our services to you and future Abodus residents. We look forward to hearing from you!
Not really value for money, WiFi is shocking! Location is good in terms of next to the city centre but dodgy area. Rooms alright but heating is also an issue, along with the silver fish, however lovely staff!

Kings Square Studios is based in city centre Bristol and everything you need is within walking distance. The staff is excellent and really friendly. Any issues I have had whilst living here were resolved ASAP.
I love the staff and the location is amazing. The tenants are not always social. I did engage in discussion multiple times with students on laws around smoking indoors specifically. Could help to establish a routine checkup in partnership with the security team that will keep behaviour friendly and accommodating.
I had some issues moving in but the staff was able to listen my concerns. The building has a lot of social spaces that can be utilised but unfortunately due to covid we couldn't use it.
Had some issues moving in that were sorted out in the end. After this issue everything else has been good.
King square studios has amazing staff and a great location!
Lovely accommodation, staff have been great, we extended for a second year, if in a budget it could be a little pricey if a single person. However, as a mature student at 25, the social side doesn't have the same experience but would be good for students coming from A levels/college.
Alround nice place to be and met friends for life
Sound proffing and wifi sucks.
