Overview
College Green is a furnished student accommodation at 39–43 College Green in central Bristol. The property is within walking distance of the main university campuses and the city’s cultural and transport hubs.

The price difference reflects its central location and the included furnishings.
This review is based on data available in July 2026. All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator before making any financial commitment.
Who This Residence Suits
College Green works best for students who prioritise a central location and are willing to pay a premium for it. The property is situated directly opposite Bristol Cathedral and a short walk from the city’s shops, restaurants, and public transport links. If you study at a university in the central area, you can reach campus in under 10 minutes on foot.
The accommodation is fully furnished, which reduces the hassle of moving in. All bills are typically included in the weekly rent (confirm with the operator), so you have a single predictable payment. This suits students who want simplicity and don’t want to set up utilities themselves.
The price range (£255–£415) suggests a mix of room types — likely standard studios and larger en-suite or one-bedroom units. Higher-end rooms would suit postgraduate students or those who prefer more private space. The building’s location also appeals to students who want to be near nightlife, supermarkets, and the Harbourside area without needing a bus.
Given the rating of 4.7, the property appears to satisfy most residents. While no written reviews are publicly available on this platform, the score implies a good standard of maintenance and management.
Who This Residence Doesn’t Suit
The weekly starting price of £255 is significantly higher than Bristol’s lowest-priced student property (£149.60). If you are on a tight budget, you will find better value further from the city centre. This residence is not for students who prioritise saving money above all else.
College Green may also not suit students who prefer a quieter, more suburban environment. The central location means street noise, especially on weekends, and the area can be busy with tourists and events. Light sleepers should check the window glazing and room orientation before booking.
Students who rely on specific amenities — such as a gym, cinema room, or large common areas — should verify what is available. The listing does not mention any facilities beyond “furnished.” If you need an on-site laundry, bike storage, or social spaces, confirm these directly with the operator.
Finally, the property has only 3 reviews on record. While the score is high, the sample is small. This residence might not suit risk-averse students who prefer properties with dozens of verified reviews.
Price Positioning & Room Types
Bristol’s student accommodation market in 2026 offers 34 properties, with a city-wide from-price of £149.60 per week. College Green’s minimum price of £255 is 70% above that baseline. The maximum price of £415 places it in the upper tier of the market.
Here are the key pricing facts:
- Lowest listed room: £255 per week (indicative)
- Highest listed room: £415 per week (indicative)
- City average from-price: £149.60 per week
- Price duration: weekly
The room types available are not specified in the data. Based on the price band, the £255 room is likely a small en-suite or a studio with limited square footage. The £415 room is probably a larger studio or a one-bedroom apartment. You should contact the operator for a detailed breakdown of room categories, sizes, and floor plans.
When comparing to other properties in Bristol, College Green occupies a premium segment. Its location on College Green — a historic square near the city centre — justifies part of the price. However, you may find comparable accommodation a 10–15 minute walk away for £200–£250 per week. “Indicative — confirm with the operator” applies to all figures.
Booking Timing
Bristol’s student accommodation can fill quickly for the September/October intake. For the 2026–2027 academic year, many properties begin accepting bookings from November 2025 onwards. College Green’s limited inventory (based on its single address) suggests it may not have a large number of units. Early booking is advisable.
If you’re looking for a room starting in September 2026, begin your search by early 2026. By May 2026, many central studios will be reserved. For a January 2027 intake, start looking in October 2026.
Flexibility with room type can improve your chances. If the cheaper rooms are sold out, you may need to consider the higher end of the price range (£415) or look at alternative properties.
The operator may offer short-term lets or summer stays. Confirm minimum lease length and available dates directly, as the data does not include this information.
