Studio Rooms at 800 Bristol Road

Unlike many student properties with shared flats, 800 Bristol Road accommodation offers private studios throughout the building. Every studio includes your own bedroom, kitchenette, study space and en-suite bathroom.

Choosing a Studio

Classic Studios suits students who want to keep accommodation costs lower while still having complete privacy. Premium and Deluxe Studios give you extra floor space, which can make a noticeable difference if you spend a lot of time studying or relaxing in your room.

Before booking, compare the room size, layout and weekly rent instead of choosing only by the room name.

Amenities at 800 Bristol Road Accommodation

Most shared facilities here support everyday university life rather than filling the building with extras you'll rarely use.

Study Spaces

During assignment season, it can help to work somewhere other than your room. The shared study areas give you another place to focus, while high-speed Wi-Fi keeps online classes, research and coursework running smoothly.

Social Spaces

There are plenty of evenings when you don't feel like staying in your studio.

The club lounge, cinema room and private dining room give residents somewhere else to spend time, watch films or meet friends after lectures. The outdoor courtyard is another quiet spot when you want some fresh air.

Gym

The on-site gym makes it easier to fit exercise into your week without paying for another membership or travelling elsewhere.
