The Hawthorns - Bristol

Great location in the middle of the university building. good for a quick bite and a cup hot chocolate or coffee. very busy day with waiting snakes of students and teachers. simple but cozy sitting with very cozy atmosphere. prices are cheap.

Brilliant student halls, huge rooms with good furniture and fantastic location. Ensuite bathrooms are also big for halls and non ensuite are adequate as well. Most kitchens are a decent size with enough storage, cookers and fridges, depends how many are sharing it. Not split into flats so you can easily make friends with and visit anyone in the halls. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely coffee and food, with plenty of seating indoors and an outdoor seating area too. Staff are always friendly and get to know their regular customers. Slap bang in the middle of the university it can get busy at times, but the staff always remain polite (could you with a restaurant full of students? If you ever need to meet someone up at the university then this is the place to suggest meeting them.

There are many critical reviews about The Hawthorns. While it may be old and not very tall, its location is outstanding. It's a safe environment. I encountered two maintenance issues, but they were resolved on the same day. I am very pleased with my room and the shared spaces; the imperfections serve as a good reminder of the real world outside.

The service staff were excellent, but the sound insulation could be improved.
