Most helpful review

I've lived at New Bridewell for two years, and I can confidently say that it's been an excellent experience. The location is incredibly convenient, and the environment is very pleasant, making it a perfect place for students. One of the standout features of New Bridewell is the exceptional management team. They are very responsible, which was a crucial factor in my decision to continue living here for a second year. A special thanks to Karl, our dormitory manager, who deserves particular praise. Throughout the year, Karl has been incredibly helpful, often going above and beyond his regular duties. I've frequently seen him busy with maintenance tasks like elevator repairs, even outside of regular working hours. His promptness in replying to emails, even late at night or on weekends, has been particularly impressive.

I am really grateful to have stayed at NewB for my first year. Mainly due to the support of Karl and Grace who are always there to help. My fridge started smelling and they had a spare to replace for us! We had some cleaner issues, however these were sorted by the end of the year. The fobs always worked well and there’s always someone at the front desk to help. Donell in security was my favourite 😄.

Nice accommodation. Great location - close to the university and in the city centre, so there a lots of good shops nearby. Social events are frequent and have a lot of variety, so there’s something for everyone. However, silverfish are an issue to look out for.

The location of new Bridewell was so convenient as it was within walking distance of all the shops and also the University of Bristol. There are also many bus stops linking to other places nearby. I was happy with how fast complaints and maintenance issues were addressed and the staff were very friendly. On the days I couldn’t go on campus to study, the study space was very nice to study in and I even got to read books from the collection provided in the study. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at New Bridewell because it was very safe, spacious and in an excellent location.

Social spaces and games a little dirty/needs replacing, but overall nb is really good and imo worth the price. Karl (manager) is fantastic and actually comes up himself to fix plumbing/do general repairs in a timely manner. Also a very friendly guy :)

While majority of the staff were nice and helpful, those working as a security at night were either off to the supermarket or disappeared. I often need to wait for a long time to get my parcels. They were sometime also quite rude. Also, there is currently a construction work going on. I fully understand the building needs an upgrade. While they had minimised their disturbances and were friendly, I was woken up by two of their construction workers few days ago, and treated very rudely and asked me to leave the room early in the morning for them to do some work. I was extremely pissed and refused their entry. I definitely think New Bridewell needs to manage their contractor on their behaviour. Although I am a student, I am still a talent who pays rent. I should be treated respectfully.

Would rather live elsewhere. The kitchen in our flat only get cleaned probably once every 3 weeks whereas my mates in other halls said their kitchens get cleaned 2 times a week. The heater can only stay on for at most 2 hours and it's not allowed to have electrical appliance in rooms. No hoover for the flat! There are only limited hoovers in the reception and as I live in Block C, I literally have to go to the other building to borrow one! They say time for parcel collection is 10am to 12pm but when I got there at 10pm, the room was locked and no one was there. I visited multiple times between 10-12pm but it was all the same!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
