33 Colston Street is a UoB managed accommodation in Bristol City Centre and only a 12 minute walk to the heart of the Clifton Campus. State of the art, modern facilities, with fantastic rooms and kitchen space, make this one of the best University of Bristol halls to live in. It also has secure bike storage. The social experience isn't as good as in Stoke Bishop residences, from what I have heard. However, it is nonetheless still great for socialising and making friends.

There is no heating at all during winter. When I emailed the team, they told me the heating is centralised and will only turn on at a certain temperature even though it is freezing. The space is so much smaller than other accommodation of similar prices. The bed is stuck to the wall. The bathroom has no ventilation, so mold and spores will grow. The bathroom is also very small and only has a shower curtain. There is no reception so everything you buy online might get stolen or thrown. The social spaces are not like in the picture - they are a scam. The wifi disconnects at random times and it can be very troublesome if you are taking an online exam. The flatmates are the worst humans on earth. Definitely not worth 200+ pounds per week for an ensuite. DO NOT EVER CONSIDER THIS PLACE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO REGRET MOVING IN. I had several flatmates moving out because of other toxic flatmates. The place reeks of weed and smoke as drug addicts are always wasting their lives at the stairway.
Rooms are a decent size, but walls are very thin so can hear conversations in the hallway and kitchen very clearly. The management take a long time to fix things, our tap was broken for several months and then they decided to turn it off for weeks, leaving one sink between 9 of us. They often don’t inform us if the cleaning schedule is changing which means we cannot empty bins on time and then they threaten to fine us. Only 3 washing machines to be shared across 120 people, one of which doesn’t work normally and they wont fix it. Really good location, central and close to uni/shops but can be loud at night if your window faces the street as the windows do nothing to block out the noise. Overall a decent accom, and better than a few of the other ones that I have seen, but quite a few things that really annoy you after a while.
Please no matter the value DO NOT pick this accom if you want ANY sort of social life. There are literally no events held here not even a mixer in the first week which means no one even knows each other despite being one of the smallest accoms in the uni. About 1/3 international and the rest are anti social shut ins with no parties or prees. You are guaranteed to have to branch out and make an effort to make friends which makes socialising much harder, as this accom is not like Stoke bishop it’s not really near other accoms. Absolutely no sense of community, empty and bare common room which are occupied by staff during the day. it’s just like you’re a person in Bristol rather than the student bubble, which is crazy considering how small this place is. It may seem like good value (I think It’s one of the cheapest en-suites and very good location ) but please spend the money elsewhere and actually get a socially life it is COMPLETELY not worth it to live here. I just realised too late.
Really nice accommodation, big rooms with small double bed (if you get en suite plus or premium), just normal en suite can seem to be a bit small, and they can come with single beds (not sure if all rooms are like this), bathroom is compact, sink is fairly small and floor in bathroom gets all wet after shower (as there's only curtains separating). Kitchen and social are is nice and spacious, but not all floors are the same, some of them can be bigger and some smaller. Kitchen, social space gets cleaned, but you are still expected to do the main cleaning before staff comes, hoover is provided. Lift does not work. Common room and study spaces are clean and nice. Most of the staff is nice, if there's no problems. Accommodation location is amazing, close to local grocery shops, not too far away from clubs and pubs, local buses, bus station and about 10-15 min walk to train station. 10 min walk to Uni campus, but it is up the steep hill (or you can take U1 bus that goes to campus).
- Really nice, modern interior! Lots of storage space in rooms and kitchen. The heating is really good. Basic rooms are quite v small. - Ensuite is enough. Sink is fairly small and the floor gets wet after each shower. - Location is amazing. Lots of gorcery shops close by. Clubs are between 5-15min walk away. University is a 10min walk up the steep st michaels hill. - Socialising isnt as good as other halls, theres only a few events organised during the year. Social space is nice but during the day its occupied by staff. - Cleaning of kitchen is 2x a week but youre expected to clean it before they agree to clean surfaces and hoover. - Most of the staff is nice, managment can be so rude to sensitive situations and refuse to solve issues. - lift is "broken" but It pretty much works, you can only use it for goods and they refuse to fix it. - 24h notice when they come to your room. They knock and then walk in even is youre not ready or even there. Common in all halls but still weird

Best student experience you can get. 4 Minutes to engineering building, all shops around, clean, spacious and study spaces (really help as I can't study in my room). Most importantly is the friendships between flats and the amazing parties. In other words; GO FOR IT!
Halls were very small, I could touch each side wall of my bedroom with my hands when I stood in the middle of the room. I think Bristol university bought the building and developed them into nice flats after I left.
colston street is a great practical place to live, so close to the university itself and to shops, bars, clubs, pubs etc.
One of the best value halls, it was all really new and all flats have living rooms. The ensuites are also really worth having. Not as great for socialising as stoke bishop though!
