If you have any choice don't live here. Had no hot water at all for 8 weeks and then no water at all for 2 days and all they offered was £50. Even now that they have "fixed" it there's is only hot water from 7-12 then its all gone. If you cant not see this happens every year by the look of previous years reviews. The only reason they have positive ones is because at the start of term they encouraged them a lot and back then it looked good before it all started falling apart.

If you dislike having hot water or any water choose to live here. Honestly, if you just want to have a shitty quality of life this is the perfect accommodation for you! I feel really bad for anyone who gets stuck here next year…switch if you can bc it does not get better. Staff is incredibly unhelpful and barely acknowledge any issues you bring to them and are very dismissive.

New Bridewell has really good facilities, and they put on lots of social events (coffee stations, freebie days, movie and game nights). The rooms are super big and very new with only a bit of wear and tear.

I would not recommend this accommodation based on my experience. There has been constant loud construction noise, which makes it very difficult to rest or study. On top of that, there have been repeated issues with the water supply, not only is there often no hot water, but there have been several occasions where there was no water at all. Although management keeps saying they are fixing the problem, these issues continue to happen multiple times a week, which is unacceptable. The heating is also inadequate and does not keep the room warm enough.

One of Bristols best accommodation’s in comparison to its other ones. Overall a good accommodation, although it does have its flaws. Pros: - en suite (biggest pro of all) - central location, close to everything - 6 people per kitchen is much less than other acc - relatively new so minor wear and tear - very nice bathroom - generally nice good quality room - you could get lucky and get a super large room Cons: - gets very hot in the summer - air vents connect all rooms and the kitchen so you can smell if anyone else is smoking or cooking - central location also means depending on your room it can be very noisy (i was across the lanes pub and i could hear karaoke and music, especially on weekends) - on many occasions i saw silverfish in my room, the corridor and kitchen - very often the building didn’t have hot water - often woke up to drilling throughout the year from underneath (snack box was being built) and from the corridors (new bridewell maintenance). This was very unpleasant. We were given a goodwill of £67, but I believe me sleep is more important
