Great accommodation that has events all the time. Great management as well!
Thanks for leaving such a nice review. Its wonderful to hear that you're enjoying our wellbeing events!
My stay at Bridge Street Exchange was fantastic! The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the rooms were both spacious and spotless. What made it even better was the chance to meet such diverse and friendly people. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended!
Its great to hear that you enjoyed the wonderful staff and our little community at Bridge Street! Thanks for leaving such a positive review!
Great place to stay at and one of the best private accommodations you can get for this money in the area. It’s also a very clean place and always holds events for festivities from every culture.
Thanks for leaving a positive review! We hope you continue to enjoy our amazing events and facilities!
Really good location, good staff and social spaces, security 24/7 etc
Thanks for leaving a great review. Its nice to hear that you're enjoying the location!
Overall a very nice building to live in, convenient for USW, the city centre, generally well maintained with access to see friends around the city. However, making new friends was limited due to many residents either having established groups or no interest in socializing. Could suggest some way of knowing residents socializing ways to live with people who's are similar (a question to answer for example)
Thanks for the review! Its nice to hear that you're enjoying our location. If you have any suggestions for social events, our staff would love to hear from you! Feel free to write to: bridgestreetexchange@thisisfresh.com
The environment is very good, the room is particularly satisfied, especially the large French Windows, which are very few in the UK, the price is not high, and the floor is very high, the scenery is very good, and the reception attitude is good
Thanks for the positive review! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the facilities and friendly staff
very nice living environment，very nice and enthusiastic staff，I really love to live here，I also want to recommend this student apartment to the other students.
Thanks for such a positive review! Happy to hear that you're enjoying your stay.
I’ve had a wonderful time here, and still have many months to go. This is my first experience with private student accommodation, despite being a final year masters student, and I must say I couldn’t have asked for anything better. It is a quiet but lively building and everyone who works here is incredibly friendly and helpful with any queries that you may have. I also love their generosity when it comes to different days, they give out a lot of free things for the students such as hot chocolate and sweets for halloween for example. It creates a loving sense of home even if you may be far away.
Thank you for such a positive review! We're so glad to hear that you enjoy our freebies! We hope that you enjoy the rest of your time with us and we wish you the best of luck in your masters!
good accommodation, perfect location, would just say it’s quite pricey in terms of price per week & costs of for example wanting to park somewhere close, but i suppose thats what u get for being in the city centre
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad that you're enjoying our facilities and location!
Great location, friendly staff!
Thanks for the positive review. Its great to hear that you're enjoying the location and our friendly staff!

Most of them are very good, the staff are very friendly and wish there could be more public space
Thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear that the staff are looking after you!
Bridge street is in the centre of Cardiff which is so convenient.
Thank you for the review. Its great that you're enjoying our central location!
Fascinating, it’s a good choice
Thank you for the positive review!
very nice apartment！！！nice views
Glad to hear that you're enjoying the views! We hope that you continue to enjoy your stay
Honestly the best student accommodation I’ve stayed at. The rooms are stunning and the location is incredible. You’re across the road to the bus stop and St David’s! The management are so lovely and welcoming and there’s always something going on to get involved in! The management will always have a chat with you and it’s such a safe environment! I couldn’t be happier, and have rebooked for next year! X
Its so great to hear that you are enjoying the facilities, staff and the location! We look forward to welcoming you back next year for even more events! Thanks for leaving such a positive review.
Too noisy in the first floor common room sometimes in the evening, interrupting my sleeping
It basically meets my expectations for an apartment
I hope the table of Table Tennis should be indoor, beacause there is always strong window. And it's better if there is coffee or hot coco drink buffet in the social space as other apartments have one.
Very clean nice and and nice staff
Thank you for the positive review. Its great to hear that our staff are looking after you!
Lovely windows even if it’s rather windy
Very lovely building and excellent value for money, whenever there is a maintenance issue, it is fixed within 24 hours the maintenance man is exceptional. Security are extremely helpful and friendly. I have had a couple of minor issues (as to be expected anywhere), with noise of a neighbour, however I believe this is rare within the building and I simply got bad luck. I would love to see a leaflet or poster or even a welcome talk at the start of the year showing us how to use all the facilities just as there is so many amazing things we can use here that I am still figuring out how to work certain things :)) Overall I would highly recommend, I wish I moved here earlier !!
Thank you for leaving a positive review! Its great to hear that you're enjoying your stay. We'd love to hear more about your suggestions for our facilities! We're always available at bridgestreetexchange@thisisfresh.com.
A great experience over all, with extremely supportive staff. Located at one of the best areas with everything at walking distance. One of the most applauding things is celebrating all festivals for every international student.
Its great to hear that you are enjoying our cultural events and our central location! Thank you for leaving a positive review
Its located right in the city and the view from my room is amazing, its currently overlooking principality.
Thank you for leaving a positive review! Happy to hear that you are enjoying the view!
couldve been more better like more parties etc but otherwise its good
Thanks for your positive review. We're always open to event ideas!
Good place for students. It is located in the city centre and hence close to stores.
Glad to hear that you're enjoying the central location!
When we moved in the room was in amazing condition, it is good value for money in a great location and the staff are really helpful and kind.
Great to hear that you're enjoying the location and our amazing staff! We hope you continue to enjoy your stay with us.
Great place. Great staff. Best locality.

Jonathan is amazing. Location is best and even room is perfect.
Great to hear that our lovely staff are looking after you - especially Jonathan! Thanks for the positive review
Good location, near supermarkets and commercial streets, with no shortcomings except that the elevator occasionally breaks down.Rich activities and good reception service. Room facilities are maintained in time and will be handled within one day after feedback on the resident APP.
Thanks for the positive review. Its great that you're enjoying our location and facilities!
My stay has been excellent, the app that I use to pay my rent helps me out a lot and I'm very happy with my room.
We're glad to hear that you are enjoying your stay. Thanks for the positive review!
Accomodation is very good but should more socialising so that all student can intract with each other.
It’s my second year here. Love it
Even before moving in, I have been in correspondence with the staff at bridge street exchange and I have to note that they were really really pleasant and professional. My questions were always answered in due time, and the management staff has always went out of their way to resolve my queries and issues. In particular, I would like to thank the manager Phoebe, who is very responsible and efficient in her job. She make sure everything gets done and every problem is settled. My thanks also goes out to Josh and Megan who have been really friendly and helpful whenever we correspond. While this is the start of my stay here, I foresee it being an excellent and memorable one thanks to them. 5 stars!
If you like high floors and large floor-to-ceiling windows, Bridge Street Exchange will be your first choice. The disadvantage is that there is no TV in the room.
Really good value for money, very comfortable and convenient. 10 times better than the university accommodation for a similar price.
The staff downstairs are very welcoming, when I lost my passport when I first arrived, they helped me investigate CCTV and did their best to help me. They were also very helpful when picking up my delivery and sometimes when I forgot my keys, they would drop what they were doing and open the door for me after checking! Would recommend this flat, with its big comfortable floor to ceiling windows! I really recommend it!
Location is perfect, for social and education. The staff is lovely and friendly. The room is amazing and there is a lot of storage and space with a good view.
If I could afford it next year, I would come here again
Great location and environment
The most perfect place to live! Rooms are lovely, the staff are amazing! Absolutely cannot go wrong with bridge street
I love bridge exchange, it is home to me
I love bridge exchange, it’s always home to me
It's amazing, I've lived there for 2 years and the staff are so welcoming and kind. The social spaces are amazing.
I enjoy spending time in the social areas of the building they are welcoming and well maintained. This means that I don’t have any worries about hosting my friends for study sessions or hangouts.
It is a lovely place to live in the City Center. Walking distance to Cardiff University and University of South Wales. Everything is accessible by foot (train/bus station, supermarkets, small grocers, shopping mall, restaurants etc). A lovely reception team as well!
Really nice comfy rooms with lovely helpful staff. The pool room is a personal favourite. Met a group of close friends here in first year that I now live with in second year.
very good, every staff are all very friendly and kind, if you have any questions or problem they will help you very fast.
Bridge Street Exchange has been a more than comfortable home, with friendly staff and good security. There are always fun events, giveaways and freebies that cheer up your week. Small complaint is that the doors/fans/lifts etc are loud throughout the whole floor so hearing noise like that at night takes some getting used to. Other than that no complaints!
Verry happy with my accommodation, favourite thing about the room is the ceiling to floor windows !
住在这里十分方便，10min内玛莎Tesco俩超市，主要是中国留学生，建议多人间选择02/03房型的套间，落地窗日落简直不要太美，工作人员中有一位会说中文的华人小姐姐很nice
The front desk service is very good, the work attitude is serious, can provide help in time if there is any problem
Thank you for the lovely feedback, your love and support to our Accommodation team.
大落地窗阳光非常足，尤其是高层，视野非常好，住在这里很舒服。周边的超市很近。
谢谢你给我们的反馈！很高兴你喜欢住在这里。

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback!
地理位置优越 楼下就是玛莎和商场 安全，24小时安保。 落地窗，视野好。 暖气足

It should let students keep pets. Some international students don’t have to much social and if they can have a pet that will be perfect
Hi! Thank you! We really appreciate your feedback. We will pass this on and see if the rules can change in the future :)
非常好的地理位置，去市中心和超市都很方便，reception也非常nice，活动也非常多，不管是西方节日还是中国的节日，节日都很有氛围。high recommended.

The staff were very friendly! Great views from the upper floors too!

I think the reception is kind and security is cute. BSE locates the city center and it is convenient to purchase goods and necessary food. Inside BSE, we have a lot of fun by the switch room and KTV room. That's so nice.
We really appreciate your review :) That is so sweet, thank you so much!

Conveniently located in the heart of the city, the apartment has unique floor-to-ceiling Windows with great views every day at sunrise and sunset, and a singing room and a gym, There are many Chinese students living here.The staff is excellent and responsible.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are glad you have enjoyed staying here and we wish you all the best in the future! Bridge Street Exchange Residents Team
To be completely honest, there are better accommodations for the same price or even cheaper. There is only one study room which everyone is always fighting over or keeping their stuff their as a way of 'unofficially reserving it' however the same people are always in there and its unfair. The study area is also above reception so there is always loud music and you can't hear anything. If there is an issue with flatmates - in particularly cleaning and things like that they are very unhelpful. The staff sometimes act like you are bothering them if you come to ask for a parcel or if you are locked out of your room and tell you to come back when they are less busy. The 'cinema room' is the only social space and is just a room with a small tv and people walking in and out because it is also the smoking area. To be fair its quite easy to sneak people in because of the back door which is how the virus was spreading in this building like wild fire. Windows in the room are big but bugs come in.
Thank you for your valuable feedback and we will ensure we take on board your comments. We are sorry to hear that you felt you were unable to use the study room as we are sure if you had brought this issue to our attention we could have found a solution. The first floor social space is not our ‘Cinema room’ due to the outside terrace, we have an on-site Karaoke room that can be used as a cinema room and is a bookable private room. Thank you for highlighting that we may need to advertise our Karaoke room more. We take the safety and security of our residents very seriously and have taken many measures to ensure our building is Covid–Courteous. We have also been awarded Covid-secure accreditation by the British Safety Council, please contact the Residents’ Team if there is anything more we can do. Thank you once again for your feedback and we wish you all the best in the future! The Bridge Street Exchange Residents’Team
I have live in bridge street exchange for three years. The most amazing aspects of bridge street exchang is its‘ beautiful windows （although it is a little bit annoying when raining）and friendly staff

Is a great place for students to stay in for their academic year.Very friendly staff and a pretty nice view if you live on a higher floor.
Thank you so much for your review! We love our views of Cardiff too! Thanks again and best wishes in the future! Bridge Street Exchange Residents Team
One of the best places you could live as a student in Cardiff at an affordable price. Right in the heart of city centre and only 15 minutes walk to Cardiff Uni buildings and SU. The rooms are so spacious with really modern ensuites as well as a great kitchen to cook food. The internet is brilliant and NEVER faults or buffers. And above all, the reception and security staff are all lovely, always there to help and of course collect parcels!
Thank you so much for your amazing review. We are so happy you have loved staying here and hope you have a great future! Bridge Street Exchange Residents Team.
Very friendly staff. Great services i.e. gym, study area, games area. Rooms are quite small considering the price. Almost sound proof rooms is a bonus. Location is ideal for city centre shopping/activities but quite far from Cathays where other students tend to live.
Thank you for your review and your honest feeback. We hope you have a great future! Bridge Street Exchange Residents Team.
