What's Included?

The weekly rent at The Propeller Quarter accommodation covers several of the household costs that students would otherwise need to manage separately.

Your accommodation fee includes:

• High-speed Wi-Fi

• Electricity

• Gas

• Heating

• Water

• Contents insurance

• Fully furnished room

Having these costs included means students do not need to set up separate utility accounts after moving in. There is one main accommodation payment to plan for each week, rather than having to work out additional charges for electricity, heating, water or internet.

For students comparing different properties in Bristol, it is worth checking what is included in the advertised rent. A room with a lower starting price may not necessarily work out cheaper once separate household bills are added.

Is The Propeller Quarter the Right Choice for You?

The best accommodation depends on how you expect to use your room and the facilities around it.

Some students prefer the social side of a shared apartment, while others would rather have their own studio and keep their daily routine private. The Propeller Quarter accommodation has both options, along with enough shared facilities to give residents somewhere to go when they want a change from their room.

If You Prefer Shared Student Living

The three, four and five-bedroom apartments give each resident a private en-suite bedroom while keeping the kitchen and living areas shared.

This setup can suit students who like having flatmates around and want opportunities to socialise at home. You still have your own bathroom and bedroom, but there are communal areas where you can cook, eat and spend time together.

If You Prefer Your Own Space

The studio options are more suited to students who want to manage their own routine.

Each studio has a private bathroom and kitchenette, so you do not need to share the main living facilities with flatmates. You can cook when you want, study without leaving your room and have more control over how you use your space.

Bronze, Silver and Gold options also give students several price points to compare, with studios starting from £270 per week.

If You Use Shared Facilities Regularly

The range of communal spaces is one of the more noticeable features of The Propeller Quarter Bristol.

The study rooms and meeting room can be useful during busy academic periods, while the cinema, games room, music room and TV lounge give students somewhere to spend time after lectures.

There are also outdoor courtyards, a garden and an outdoor dining area for students who want to spend some time outside the main building.

If You Want Fitness Facilities Nearby

The property has an on-site gym and yoga studio, along with table tennis.

That means students can fit exercise around their timetable without having to travel across Bristol for every workout.

If You Want Fewer Household Bills to Manage

Electricity, gas, heating, water, Wi-Fi and contents insurance are included within the rent.

This makes the weekly accommodation cost easier to plan, as the main household expenses have already been accounted for. Students do not have to set up separate utility accounts or divide these bills with flatmates.

If You Cycle or Need Everyday Facilities

Bike storage is available within the property, which is useful for students who prefer cycling to university or into the city.

There is also an on-site laundry, maintenance support, vending machines and recycling facilities. These are fairly ordinary parts of student accommodation in Bristol, but having them within the building means fewer small errands to organise during a busy week.
