I would have left New Bridewell a great review BUT the water stopped working in my block and it wasn’t fixed for 8 days, meaning I couldn’t shower or even flush my toilet. The accommodation ran out of bottled water to give us and it took them over a day to bring me any. The first floor flooded with water when it tuned on for a bit. They’ve had issues with the pipe work in previous years too. They promised us financial compensation and we’ve received none. I paid £176.50 a week for this.
Great location and very helpful and friendly staff. Covid made the social experience difficult therefore I cannot comment on what it would be like during a normal year. Very clean and well organised building.
Just avoid new bridewell it has been 3 years and they still cannot fix the pipe issues! They cut off water every now and then
i have taken a studio located on the 14th floor that was managed by UOB, it felt like an apartment it was really amazing, the staff are very friendly, maintenance is good but I heard there was a problem at maintenance at block A I was at block B,so everything was amazing
The rooms are on the smaller side, but are really nice, and the kitchens are big with sofas too. The staff team are also super friendly and helpful, and the location is amazing. However, because it is so central there is often noise during the day and at night (eg. building works, parties, drunk people, street noise etc), but the ease of getting everywhere makes up for this.
A little bit noisy but it's okay. Everything else is great.
Staff are super friendly! Great central location. Study space is extremely convenient but can get crowded, especially near exams. Rooms are really nice, although doors not entirely soundproof, so doors closing along the corridor are quite audible.
The reception staff at New Bridewell have been friendly, helpful and cheerful, making loving here the best possible experience. If there has ever been a problem they are quick to sort it and always happy to help. The facilities are great, and makes for a great standard of living. The location is the best as you’re so close to the city centre and just a short walk to uni. After living here for my first year i’ve decided to book a studio for my second year, as the experience has been so good.
Hi there, and first of all we are so happy to hear you have booked a studio with us for September! Thank you very much for such kind words, it's so good to know that we are able to make a difference and give our residents the positive experience they deserve. Here's to another positive year at New Bridewell!
This place has it ALL!!! Central location and I mean slap bang in the centre of town. Great rooms with big windows, a big bed and a shower. Good sized study area with a nice social area with a pool table. And the best of all the best reception staff you can find, these guys will absolutely help you with everything and they always have time to listen to you. These guys absolutely make this place.

Super friendly staff, the place feels so clean and modern. Would definitely recommend. Great location
Love the staff at the reception. Extremely helpful every time
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we're very happy to know you found us helpful at all times!
I have lived in this accommodation for all my course duration, because the place in totally awesome. I mean the location is very convenient. My university is 18 minutes walk, Cabot circus is 6 minutes walk and so many fun places are walkable distance. And whenever I have maintenance issues, the accommodation team takes care of it within 2 or 3 days. Also, we have beautiful social and study space with tiny library :) Apart from all these, the people from the reception and the managers are so friendly and totally awesome, who always makes me feel at home.
Amazing place to live in Bristol, very close to the city centre and bus stops. Staffs are super welcoming and friendly -- would highly recommend!
My experience in New Bridewell was not very social.
The best accommodation you can get without giving up a fortune. It gets hot over the summer months
New Bridewell has the best staff I could ever wished. They are all really professional, kind and competent in their duties. If this is your first time outside your parents' home, New Bridewell in the best place to do first experiences living alone or with other flatmates.
Wow, what a lovely thing to say. Thank you for such kind feedback. We really do try our best to ensure that everyone has a positive experience with us, especially if this is their first time away from home for a long period. Our main goal is to create a fun, welcoming and friendly environment for residents and this is something we intend to continue for the forseeable future. Have a great Summer!
The staff are very welcoming and pleasant.
Nice halls (double bed and ensuite), however if you want any form of social life, do not go here. The halls are more like a hotel, good luck making any friends if you don't play sport/know somebody already.
Overall I liked living at New Bridewell. Normally there was a good service and there were also people I could go to in case something was wrong or broken. Sometimes, it took longer than expected to solve a problem (e.g. last year I had a crack in my wall and for a while I was not sure whether it was safe to stay in the flat or not). But everything was solved, eventually. However I believe that the cost of the accommodation is really high compared to the dimension.
New Bridewell is a very good accommodation to live in a friendly environment. The location is amazing if you want to be in the heart of the city center.
Great place to live, so close to city centre
nice location, friendly staff, quite expensive
Social spaces were not well mannered nor respected by other students
Awesome! Loved the few months I spent there :)
Hi! Thank you for the kind feedback, we're very happy you loved your time at New Bridewell, have a great rest of your Summer!
Wifi is a little bit slow but other than that everything is execellent
New Bridewell has extraordinary environment, it's the ideal place to stay as a student.
very central, great location, very modern bedrooms and flats, nice social space, security is quite strict
Covid-19 has hampered my experience somewhat but the facilities themselves are pretty decent. Being on the 11th floor I had a great view from both kitchen and room. Everything was very nice and clean. Social spaces weren’t great and I really feel like I only know my flatmates, this is bc the social room has been closed all the time I’ve lived here and the study room isn’t terribly inviting. Staff seem nice enough from what I’ve experienced but I have heard bad stories from others. Location is cool, I enjoy the long walk upto the downs- however being so close to the police station isn’t fantastic- furthermore I don’t always feel comfortable going to and from the Tesco at night what with the fairly large jakey population. All in all I like New Bridewell and would recommend it to others.
obviously with covid it's hard to appreciate the social side of the accommodation but in most other aspects NB has been good, the staff are super nice, the location is great, you get the odd issue but the management is good and they were usually happy to replace broken appliances. The wifi's pretty bad but they're supposedly fixing it and the cleaning is good but you have to be diligent in booking full kitchen cleans. BIG note prepare to have your wallet absolutely drained by circuit laundery.
Everything is pretty good, the staff in reception are absolutely amazing and lovely and have made living here during the pandemic so much better. The only reason i rated the social experience and spaces not as high is due to the pandemic as we can’t really be social. everything else is really good :) (apart from circuit laundry lmao)
Hi there, and thank you so much for this positive review! It's really nice to know that we we were able to make living here during the pandemic a positive experience for you, even with all that was going on. Thank you for your feedback on Circuit Laundry as well, this is something we will definitely take into account for the future.
Friendly staff members, nice bedrooms with beautiful views (depends on floor). The location is right in the centre of Bristol and everything is near you. Prices are good for the place you stay in, however, my only issue would be if there were bigger social spaces for better experiences but overalll it's worth to live in New Bridewell.
New Bridewell is a really nice environment to live in, the staff are always so helpful and the communal areas are perfect if you want to use them. The location is so central and there is anything you need within a 5 minute walk.
Only reason I’ve had to rank social stuff low is because of Covid! If there was an N/A option, I would’ve clicked it 🥴 Otherwise, New Bridewell has been such a lovely place to live. My room is modern and relatively spacious, same for the kitchen/living room. Windows keep most sound out so despite being right on the main road, the noise isn’t too bad. Soundproofing between rooms is brilliant. The staff are brilliant - so, so friendly and do everything they can to help you feel comfortable. Location is ideal, barely a 5min walk from Tesco and just a tad further for Cabot Circus. Bit of an uphill trek to campus/student health service/clifton though - not that it’s mattered too much this year, and ofc there are plenty of buses. New Bridewell use Glide wifi which despite not being the easiest to set up has always been reliable and fast. Maintenance comes relatively quickly if you’ve got an issue & cleaners every 2weeks! Shared hoovers for the whole building is a bit annoying though.
A really nice, modern accommodation in a great location. I enjoyed my experience here and I liked the fact that the study room was available to students as it would have been difficult for me to always have to study in my room throughout the pandemic. Most of the staff were kind and helpful.
New bridewell is a fantastic place to live. Felt very supported especially with the friendly staff- Juliette has been AMAZING! The rooms are big and spacious and the en-suite bathrooms are fantastic. Definitely one of the pricier options to stay in BUT worth the money. Location is great however can be noisy as the accommodation is directly on the main road in the city centre but this doesn’t bother me all that much! WiFi is a bit slow- have had to use my own hotspot several times during zoom meetings but all in all, a friendly Social place to live
Best management team, nice well-kept property, and high return for money. Tgouh the staff offered many fun stuff online, I missed physical social interaction thanks to Covid. Highly recommended:)
The location is perfect and it is really modern and comfortable inside. I was worried about how noisy it wold be living in the city centre but it is really well sound-proofed so my room is like my own private sanctuary where I can look out across the city. The team in reception are so lovely and welcoming, you can ask them anything. Admittedly, it is quite an expensive accommodation option but I feel it was definitely the right choice for me.
This accommodation located in central Bristol. All the staffs here are very friendly.
I strongly recommend this accoms to degree students. The location of new bridewell is super great, very convenient to most shops and stores. It is located near to city shopping Centre. Few minutes to many brand shops, supermarkets such as M&S, Tesco, Chinese markets and so on. The facilities of the accoms are quite good. Especially the management team of accoms is pretty good, and they are really warm hearted, the security guard is working 7/24. The laundry room is cleaned every day. If have to give a shortcoming that I think only the WiFi connection, lower levels of WiFi connection is really great, very higher level May got a bit slow when having online classes.
Dear Resident, Thank you so much for your review – it is both greatly appreciated, and also very helpful for potential first year residents. We are very lucky to be in such a great location. We work hard to keep the building in a great condition for you, and it is great to have residents who respect this as their home away from home. However, what really makes New Bridewell special is our lovely residents like you; you really do drive our fantastic staff team. In regards to the WiFi speed, it would be good to report any issues to Glide, the internet provider. With any reported issues they can run maintenance and fix any issues with speed. Please let us know if you have any questions! Many thanks, The Accommodation team.
receptionists should prepare health tool box, and I suggest all doors being replaced by rfid controlled ones which reduce inconveniences using keys
Dear Resident, Thank you ever so much for your suggestions – they are greatly appreciated. We would like to take this opportunity to resolve the queries you have. Although you may not be able to see it, we have a fully stocked ‘health toolbox’ or ‘first aid kit’ available in reception 24 hours a day. If you believe you require any items from it, please ask a member of the office or security staff who would be very happy to assist you. Alternatively, the closest place where you are able to purchase most health items you need would be Boots, just a 5 minute walk away. Regarding the aforementioned personalised key fob system, please feel assured that it is very beneficial for the health and safety of residents, and building maintenance, to have it this way. If we had combination locks on every door, it may he harder for staff to assist when a resident cannot enter their room e.g. left key in room, in an emergency, or maintenance instances. If you lose your key fob at any time, we will deactivate it and a new one can be issued to you straight away. Just pop down to reception and ask a member of the office staff. Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any further suggestions or questions for us. Many thanks, The Accommodation team.
This is a really great place to start off at uni, really comfortable living and only 15 minutes walk from camous. Staff are all very friendly, rooms are really nice with ensuites and kitchens are nice and spacious. really close to city centre and shopping district. All in all love living here

Hands down the nicest student accommodation ever! Easy access to everywhere, such as uni, town and clubs (you potentially will live in swx) etc, and lovely staff, always able to offer a helping hand! The rumours of NB not being very social worried me as I read reviews, but it really depends on the person, if you’re willing to go out and meet up with new people on the first few weeks you can find friends for life, you just have to put yourself out there. Another benefit is the study room, sooooo good for when you need that quiet space to get work done away from your flat. Honestly, couldn’t recommend enough!
Dear Resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are very proud as a team to read your review and we would like to thank you very much for your kind words. We would also like to thank you so much for how detailed you have been in your recommendations – such great advice for any potential residents. Make sure to regularly check out our social media platforms on @NewBridewell, as well as our ‘What’s on’ posters displayed around the building to see everything happening in our social spaces too. Good luck studying…and have fun at SWX! Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any suggestions or questions for us. Many thanks, The Accommodation team.
This accommodation is very homely hence why I’ve lived here for 3 years. Its location is superb, you have all your go to stores around and it’s close to uni. Also, a staff is available on site every day of the week in case you need help with anything and they are really friendly. Importantly, the security is really good, I feel safe here.
Dear resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are very proud and delighted as a team to read your review. We would like to thank you very much for writing such a helpful review for potential residents. We absolutely love that lots of residents, just like you, choose to stay at New Bridewell for the whole of their uni years. Our main priority is for you to love living here, feeling safe in a fantastic location. It’s great that you have taken advantage of the longer, full year tenancy. We hope to see you around soon! Please don't hesitate to contact the us in the accommodation team if you have any suggestions or questions. Many thanks, The Accommodation team.
Great place to live, very modern and spacious. The rooms do differ, not all like the pictures. Location is good for city centre access, but getting up to uni can be an uphill struggle. Saying this, I do really enjoy living here. It’s such a nice room :)
Dear Resident, Thank you very much for your helpful feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We totally understand about the hill! At least Bristol has some lovely views, being on different levels. For those days when you are not up for the hill, it is worth enquiring at your student union, as we know some universities offer free bus travel. Which is handy for New Bridewell, as there are two bus stops either side of us! Thank you for mentioning that you like the modern rooms, and enjoy living here. We offer room viewings for any potential residents so that they can see the exact lay out as you are right – although the furniture and bathrooms are the same, there are a few different lay outs around the building. Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any suggestions or questions. Many thanks, The Accommodation team.

City centre location close to shops and restaurants.
Dear Resident, Thank you very much for your helpful recommendations about New Bridewell. It is great to hear that our residents enjoy living in such a central location; there really is something for everyone just a short walk away. Bristol has so much to offer, especially in terms of shops and eateries. Being in the centre is also useful for commuting to uni and back! Please do not hesitate to contact a member of the accommodation team if you have any suggestions or questions for us. Many thanks, The Accommodation Team
Please build us a smoking area :) it's not nice when it's raining and there is already a crackhead sat under the only sheltered bit outside :))
Dear Resident, Thank you ever so much for your suggestion and feedback- it is greatly appreciated. We have closely considered your review, and we do agree that this mustn’t have been a nice experience for you. Your safety and wellbeing is paramount to the team at New Bridewell. That is a reason for us being a 24 hour manned site. If you do come across someone near the designated smoking area outside our main gates, please alert a member of the accommodation team, or the security guard who is on that day/night. We will very happily ask them to leave. CCTV covers the main gate, which is next to the designated smoking area. We are in the process of getting additional CCTV to cover the sheltered area you mentioned in front of the retail unit as we appreciate that you may choose to move there in adverse weather conditions. Until this happens, please feel free to borrow an umbrella from reception. Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any further suggestions or questions. Many thanks, The Accommodation team.

Great Fresh Student Living staff, very attentive, helpful and friendly
Dear Resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are very proud as a team to read your review, and are grateful for your kind words. We absolutley love getting to know all of our residents, and helping them settle into their home away from home in the centre of Bristol. Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any further suggestions or questions. Many thanks, the Accommodation team.
Great accommodation. But, when I came here, my room was in deplorable condition. So, better cleaning standards before students come to the accommodation on September will be highly appreciated
Dear Resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are very happy that you think your accommodation is great. However, it is so important for us that you feel as if New Bridewell is your home away from home as soon as possible. We totally understand that if you discovered your room in a condition you found unsuitable, this may not have been the case straight away. During check in weekend, we have professional cleaning teams on site who are able to come into your room and clean any areas which you decide need extra attention. They work tirelessly to clean and check all rooms ready for check in weekend, but here may sometimes be areas missed, so we have them ready to help when you arrive too. Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any further suggestions or questions. Many thanks, The Accommodation team.
Very close to city centre, nice facilities and friendly people. View from window might not be the best but acceptable regarding other conditions.
Dear resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are very proud as a team to read your review and we would like to thank you very much for your kind words. Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any suggestions or questions. Many thanks, the Accommodation team.

Dear resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are very proud as a team to read your review and we would like to thank you very much for your kind words. Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any suggestions or questions. Many thanks, the Accommodation team.
Quiet and conveniently located for university students (the Christmas steps can be quite tiring en route to lectures, but this is outweighed by the nearby Tesco Metro and 2 oriental supermarkets). Friendly and helpful staff (learn how to use the portal to report maintenance issues). Rooms are a comfortable size with storage space underneath the bed. Lockable gate and doors to enter the hall and flats provide a degree of security.
Dear resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are very proud as a team to read your review and we would like to thank you very much for your kind words. We are always trying to put our residents at the center of everything that we do as we are passionate by giving the best service ever.

Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any suggestions or questions. Many thanks, the Accommodation team.
New Bridewell has an amazing location. I feel lucky spending my first year here.
Dear resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are very proud as a team to read your review and we would like to thank you very much for your kind words. We are the lucky ones to deal with such fantastic residents! Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any suggestions or questions. Many thanks, the Accommodation team.
Really a noise accommodation!!! Block C 214 or 216, the room in the opposite of 217, always have party and shout in the corridor in 12 p.m or later! And the yard always have someone talked loudly in the midnight. Besides, there is a bar located in the opposite of the accommodation's gate, which is really noisy.
Dear resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are very sorry that you are experiencing such noise problems but you are very welcomed to contact the accommodation team 24/7 if you have any noise complaints - we will be very happy to help you straigthaway and to ensure that you can enjoy calm and peace in your room. Regarding the noise coming from outside the residence, it might be due to our incredible location in the city centre of Bristol but please be assured that our double-glazing windows are very efficient and should prevent the noise to come into your room. Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you are experience this issue again in the future - we will be very glad to help you. Kind regards, the Accommodation team.
Overall my experience has been quite positive. The rooms are perfect and very spacious but the cleaning of the kitchen is not always at the desired standard. When I first got here, I had to get my shower head changed immediately as the water was constantly boiling and it was nearly impossible to take a shower, making it a very upsetting first couple of days. The stuff are very friendly though and the maintenance worker was very helpful in letting me know how soon I could get a replacement and actually fixing the issue.
Dear resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are glad to read that our team managed to sort out your shower as soon as possible, although it must have been frustrating for your first couple of days of living with us. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused but we are happy that we managed to make it up to you after that issue. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or any other remarks. Kind regards, the Accommodation Team.

Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any questions or suggestions. Kind regards, the Accommodation team.
Nice place to live, the best location of any hall, but minimal social experience due to a lack of social spaces and events. The accommodation feels more like a hotel than halls. If you're not a sociable person, I would recommend New Bridewell to you.
Dear resident, Thank you for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are indeed very proud of our location in Bristol city centre. Regarding our social events, we are sorry that you feel that you only had a minimal social experience at New Bridewell - we really tried to offer you great events as our Day of the Dead party, Hot chocolate day, Meet and Greet party, our Xmas donation station and so on. However, we would be so happy and grateful to hear any suggestions or events you would like to see happening at New Bridewell - we love fresh ideas!!

The accommodation office should conduct checks on the kitchens of flats and impose some sort of punishment for tenants who do not keep their area clean. As someone who does keep his area clean, it is extremely frustrating to have to keep telling flatmmates to clean things and keep the place clean and free from odours.
Dear resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. It is paramount for us that you feel yourself at home in your flat and we know how frustrating this situation must be. If you are experiencing this type of issues with your flatmates, please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team and we will be glad to help you. Kind regards, the Accommodation team.
New Bridewell has a good location and 24 hrs services, which very good! However, New Bridewell is a really hot building. Would be better if you could find a solution about it!
Dear resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are very happy that you enjoy your stay with us, we want you to feel at home away from home.

There is mo other accommodation in the city centre, Bristol, that i would recommend. Its one of the best when it comes to value for your money, The staff and management are extremely nice ( Both the veterans who where here before, and the new ones ). If you are a student looking for a great spot the live, or a resident who would like to stay in a place that is connected to the city centre, there is no better place that i would recommend. Its simply just the BEST.

Secuirity is really good, especially Dave. My biggest complaint is the shower drains as they constantly block really easily and are not deep enough to put a hair trap on to combat this. It's also really annoying that we are not provided with mops or hoovers in our flats to do our own cleaning. The clothes washing facilities are really expensive and the timers on them don't work - the staff don't really seem to care when you report this. I also don't like how they don't notify you when parcels arrive for you as not all orders give a specific postage date. They never reminded us when to pay our fees or how much to pay and how to and it was really complicated so I had to call loads of numbers to find out how as reception staff didn't know. Overall I've had a good experience but I'm pointing out the negatives in the hope they will change them.
Dear resident, Thank you very much for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated. We are glad that you are happy with our 24/7 security service; we will make sure to let Dave know that his great efforts are appreciated. Regarding your remarks, we have plungers available 24/7 at reception if you experience problems with your drain, along with hoovers. Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team and we will be glad to help you with any requests of this kind. For the parcels, there is a QR code that you can use 24/7 to see if your parcel has arrived - you received the link for the QR code at the beginning of the academic year and it is also available in the noticeboards at reception, along with the ones in Blocks A, B and C. At New Bridewell, we are not part of University of Bristol and, although we are always trying our best to help you, we are not managing anything in terms of payments - we don't have access to any University systems or financial department. Consequently, we always refer you to your University services. Once again, thank you very much for your feedback and remarks that allowed us to answer to questions that many residents also have. Please don't hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any questions or suggestions. Many thanks, the Accommodation team.
The laundry is very expensive, and the social space is lacking. It is too small and there are very few events held. Even the few events held are not satisfactory: for example, they promised us a pizza night but ordered only 4 pizzas. The wifi, however, is good, and so is the quality of the flats.
Dear Resident, Thank you very much for your feedback – it is greatly appreciated. We would like to thank you very much for your recommendations. Moving further into the academic year we have implemented more social events, with pizza, as this was clearly a very popular aspect of an event on site. For example, through working in partnership with Dominoes, we have been able to provide a lot more pizzas for the turnout at our most recent Games Night with Pizza. Make sure to check out our ‘What’s on’ guides displayed around the building and on social media to see what else we have in store for you. We are happy that you are pleased with the quality of your living space, and our wifi provider. The laundry prices do reflect prices across most student accommodations, which is decided from the provider. Here is a link to their website for you to have a look at: Please do not hesitate to contact the accommodation team if you have any further suggestions or questions.
