En-suites and studios across modern blocks and listed townhouses near Cabot Circus
Port on the Square Bristol student accommodation has 259 beds spread across two modern blocks and three listed historic buildings. Rooms range from en-suites to self-contained studios. In addition, all utility bills are included.
The townhouse rooms sit inside the listed buildings. Meanwhile, the modern blocks hold the standard, classic and premium en-suites as well as the studios. Every studio and every shared kitchen also has its own TV.
The building is close to Cabot Circus and Broadmead in central Bristol. For example, BIMM University is next door. The University of Bristol and UWE Bristol are also within reach, so check the Nearby Universities panel for distances.
Shared spaces, coffee bar and study areas
Most of the social space is on the ground floor. For instance, there is a private cinema, a karaoke machine and a games hub with arcade machines, board games and a pool table. On top of that, a gym is on site.
The coffee bar serves coffee, tea and hot chocolate. It also has a matcha station for iced drinks. Besides this, breakfast is offered on some days of the week.
For focused work, there is a quiet study space and a co-working area. Similarly, a bookable meeting room is available for group projects. The communal areas have air conditioning, while rooms have wired internet at up to 1Gbps.
The communal lounge and dining room are set up for shared meals. Outside, the courtyard has space to sit and a ping-pong table. Finally, there is a laundry room, a vending machine and on-site maintenance.
Is The Port on the Square right for you?
It suits students who want a city-centre base with plenty of shared facilities. It also suits anyone who would rather live in a historic listed building than a new block. In particular, BIMM students are well placed.
However, if you prefer a quieter, smaller building away from the shops, it may feel busy. In that case, compare other options on our Bristol student accommodation page.
