All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

lovely accom, great location, and decent sized rooms. the gardens are lovely during the summer and the study zone is so helpful during exam season when the library is full. the jcr my year was really good, so i’m assuming they get a large budget. some of the showers have hot water issues- often you couldn’t get more than about 5 minutes of hot water in mine, but friends in other blocks didn’t have this issue. they aren’t always the most responsive in terms of maintenance requests, our extractor fan was broken from day one and they refused to fix it which led to mould growth, and i had a mould issue due to broken heating in my room during first term which took them a long time to fix. also, the clifton hill house postal room (where goldney post goes) is quite ****. they often loose packages or hold letters for weeks. be prepared to go bankrupt over the washers and dryers, they never work, and you end up losing a lot of money. NEVER use washer or dryer one, they’ve never worked.

Very nice accommodation, fairly close to the Uni (15-minute walk), and close to Sainsbury's and Clifton Suspension Bridge. The gardens are lovely on a sunny day, and the accommodation feels very safe. Rooms are nice, with adjustable heating, but can be a little drafty, and vary in size between standard rooms quite a bit. Some rooms get balconies, others don't, and some rooms are large whilst others are smaller. The disparity between sizes isn't too large tho. Cleaners arrive on the same day, at the same time, and clean the kitchen, corridor, and bathrooms very well, but will complain if the kitchen is left too messy. All repairs are done in a fairly timely manner. Nice quiet study space available, as well as a common room which has a pool table and foosball. Would recommend to anyone considering Goldney!

really nice accommodation and perfect location. Its in Clifton so its out of the main city but still very accessible for everything. I love walking around Clifton and the bridge is a really nice place to chill out. The cleaners are good at cleaning but sometimes take things abit too far, going through our cupboards to remove bottles, removing things from out pin boards. Socially its really good - the layout helps with this really well.

Goldney is exactly the same as every other bristol halls, expect you pay a lot more for it. The nice rooms you see on the website are not the reality. Expect more of a prison vibe, with less windows. The grounds are nice, but ask yourself - how much do u really wanna walk around a scenic garden in the rain. The bar is out of service, and the social areas of flats have to be kept clear in case of fire, so you're pretty much limited to the kitchen (if you're lucky enough to have working lights that is). A lot of the bathrooms are also out of action/only work intermittently. If you went to private school and like d n b, then this is the halls for you. It has somehow got the reputation as the nice halls, possibly because there's a cat, but I really wouldn't recommend it. Go to a cheaper halls and save your money.

Great people, place is a bit dated but everything works fine. Quite expensive for what it is.

Absolutely beautiful! Just the experience of living there, being able to walk round the gardens to relax or sit in the sun is worth every lack of star here. The cleaners we had were pretty grumpy, but all the other staff were hugely friendly, and really supportive in crises. Great location if you don't mind a hill (and at least you get leg muscles). If I had to choose all over again I'd go wholeheartedly for Goldney.
