Most helpful review

Hotwells House is in a fantastic location, 10 minutes from the centre, a short walk to Clifton and right on the harbourside. I’m currently in a silver en-suite room, the room is a decent size and with a small bathroom. The kicthen/ living space is a generous size, lots of storage and with good appliances. The best thing about Hotwells, in my opinion, is the maintenance service. It is super easy to report problems and make requests which are always quickly responded to. Any requests I have made, have been fulfilled by the next day. The staff are kind, friendly and helpful. Incredibly welcoming and comforting, a real reassurance to anyone who may be nervous.

I decided to stay at Hotwells House to avoid dealing with landlords. I stayed in a Bronze ensuite which was reasonably sized. The kitchen is very large which is great for cooking and hosting friends and there are two bathrooms. The best part of Hotwells is the location, its next to the harbourside and I took many scenic walks around the area. You can walk to the University of Bristol but it is uphill so I often took the UniBus up, however there are many other transport links which take you to the City Centre and nearby beaches such as Weston Super Mare.

Really great place to stay all-round. The rooms are actually bigger than they seem on the website, and the kitchen and bathrooms are decently sized as well. The staff are extremely friendly and very helpful, which made moving in and asking any questions much easier. Good location for getting to UoB and the city centre, and close to the harbourside as well. Only minor criticism is that parking is expensive and the company only offers a week's pass rather than giving you an option to buy something for a day. The site does also use Circuit laundry, but so does virtually every student accomodation so that's not really a point against the place. Would highly recommend.

This is a lovely housing right next to the harbourside and has excellent connectivity to the city centre, train station and university. With a big shared kitchen and two reasonably sized bathrooms along with a fully furnished double bed room, I had all the amenities I needed as a doctoral student. The in-house laundry and gym are fully equipped to cater to everyone's needs. And, last but not the least, I found the most kind, friendly and helpful staff here. They supported me in various ways and made me feel safe throughout my stay.

I have stayed here for two years and it has been really ideal in location as my uni is only about a 10 minute walk away and it's close to some really nice nature. It is by a busy main road though, so noise isn't great. The only thing with living here is that it is around a 30 minutes walk away from the center and there are not really close supermarkets nearby, apart from a Spar which is handy but expensive. Living here has been ok, its student accommodation so you can't expect a five-star hotel. But I would say it's alright for moving into your first year. The one thing that can be frustrating is the that there are only three washing machines between a hundred and something residents so you are sometimes left waiting for people to pick up their washing. The price to wash clothes is also expensive, but that is most likely universal with student accommodation. WiFi could also be better. The rooms are also ok, ideally could have more storage. Generally the staff are responsive.

I had a great time living in Hotwells. Though it may be inconvenient to get to some places, we had decent access by transport. Nonetheless, we have great flatmates that makes the communal space homely.

Paid £166 per week for a standard double bed, 1 shower, 2 toilets and a shared kitchen. Personally don’t think 1 shower is enough when sharing with 5 people, also don’t think it’s a big ask to have a hoover in the flat. The cleaning inspections are few and far between and proved few consequences besides an email if the flat wasn’t clean enough, meaning the flatmates I had who wouldn’t clean felt no further obligation to do so. I find it ridiculous that there’s no staff on weekends or after 17:30 on a weekday as these are the times that the most noise/disruption happens. Moreover, it’s really poor that if you get locked out when there’s no staff on-site you either have to pay £60 to get security to come and let you back in or you have no choice but to go and stay with a friend. Also, 3 washing machines and 3 tumble dryers for the entire accom? Not good enough. Only perk was the location, close to city centre, Aldi is only a 20 min walk away and close to Clifton village.
