Student Accommodation in Bristol
Brunel House, a former Victorian hotel, was named after the renowned engineer who designed it in the 1830s.
It is now an eco-friendly student residence located just a quick 10-minute walk from the University of Bristol campus.
Brunel House was once a stopping place for travellers crossing the Atlantic on the SS Great Western.
It features a stunning neo-classical facade and an amphitheatre that was once used for horse-trading. Despite its historic charm, the property has modern amenities and facilities inside.
The residence has a total of 246 bedrooms, including self-contained studios with private bathrooms and kitchens for online booking.
En-suite rooms within shared flats are also available for University of Bristol (UoB) students who can arrange them by contacting the UoB accommodation team.
What sets Brunel House apart are its outdoor spaces. The residence is designed to harmonize with local wildlife, featuring a wildflower meadow, bat and bird boxes, bee hotels, and sanctuaries for insects and reptiles.
Its three-tiered private garden showcases original murals by local artist Andy Council.
Indoors, residents can enjoy a spacious common room on the ground floor, furnished with beanbags, cosy sofas, TVs, free pool and ping pong tables, and a dedicated study area.
Located near green spaces such as Brandon Hill Park and College Green, Brunel House offers easy access to the vibrant Park Street area and is just a short walk from Bristol Bus Station.
It's an ideal choice for students seeking both comfort and convenience.
