The WiFi is free and faster than the WiFi at my home. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, they put lots of effort into social events for freshers and others alike. Very nice rooms that look as advertised and easy to use appliances around the building

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.

Although I believe the money was not worth it due to a tiny room along with the location that had nothing to do with the usual university experience as a student in bristol, i believe it is a cozy accommodation with fun and pretty common areas.

Staying in Zinc Quarter has been amazing, especially in terms of my sense of safety. For someone new to the UK, Zinc Quarter has felt very secure. This security is added to by the very friendly and extremely helpful staff who never fail to respond to queries in a timely manner.

Zinc quarter is a nice place. The staff was very enthusiastic, and once my filter element was missing, they were very patient to help me solve it, and found it the next day. The rooms are also very clean and all the facilities are excellent.

Zinc Quarte has to be one of the best student accommodations in Bristol. I had a bad experience with a previous accommodation provider and I told the staff at Zinc Quarter before moving in and they made sure that my moving-in process was a lot smoother. The room was spotless when I arrived and it was a very nice spacious room with more than enough storage space for my things. The staff are absolutely fantastic! I could not emphasise this enough, they are proactive and look to help you with any issues as soon as possible. They are also very friendly; even if you just want someone to talk to briefly, they will happily do that. It is in a very good location, about a 10-minute walk to Bristol Temple Meads Station and Cabot Circus. There are also many local shops in the Old Market area as well as a local Sainsburys a few minutes away from the accomodation. There are great transport links with many buses leaving from Old Market or Temple Way and it not being far from Cabot Circus.

While the property is beautiful and the staff on site are helpful with most enquiries, maintenance problems take months to resolve and you can forget about getting your deposit back within a reasonable time frame. It’ll also take months to get back regardless of staff telling you it’ll be with you within 5 days max.
