About The Port On The Square, Bristol

The Port On The Square offers luxury student living in the heart of Bristol, blending two modern blocks with three listed historic buildings. Experience vibrant student life where history meets modern comfort. Perfectly located for BIM students, just a 2-minute walk, as well as 25-minute walk to the University of Bristol, and 20 minutes bus ride to UWE.

The Port on The Square is where you get to live properly – comfy, stylish, and right in the middle of Bristol. With a mix of modern and historic blocks, you’re not just close to uni,  you’re also where Banksy’s art thrives!

Our location is unbeatable – Uni of Bristol? 20-minute walk. UWE? 15 minutes by bus. BIMM? You can literally roll out of bed as it’s 2 minutes away. DBS? 20-minute walk. Getting around is easy too. Cabot Circus and Broadmead shopping centre are 2-minute walk away. Temple Meads Station is just a 10-minute bus ride, Bristol Airport’s about 30 minutes away, and some of Bristol’s best coffee spots like Greytone, Lost Horizon, and Wogan are right around the corner when you need a caffeine fix or a chill spot.

Inside, there’s loads of good stuff for everyone. There’s a private cinema for movie nights, karaoke machine, a games area with arcade games, board games, pool table and a PS5 console (bookable and perfect for some downtime), a gym when you feel like moving, quiet study space with arts and crafts available to help you unwind, and books to read, a meeting room for those group projects and a new amenity in progress – can you guess what it will be? PS – you have to try our hanging egg-chair!

The communal lounge and dining room are great for hanging out or throwing dinner nights with your mates – there are hot pots available where we often host our Ramen Days, and the courtyard is perfect for catching some sun, chatting with friends, playing ping-pong or just getting out of your room for a bit.

We’ve also got you covered with breakfast (days might vary), coffee, tea, and hot chocolate in our coffee bar area. Oh, and don’t forget our matcha station – it’s super popular for iced matcha drinks with syrups, and we will supply your milk and ice cubes!

Best of all, you’re right in the middle of everything: Bristol’s best food spots, nightlife, and city vibes are all right on your doorstep. Whether you’re heading to class or heading out, you’re exactly where you want to be.

  • Special Conditions

    • Special Conditions

    Medical:
    You can request to terminate your tenancy agreement if you have an existing medical condition that renders you medically unable to continue at university and this medical condition is recorded on your application prior to a room offer being made.
    You (or a legal guardian, or representative) must:
    send an email to: salesenquiries@wearehomesforstudents.com or to your property email address if already in residence confirming that you wish to cancel the tenancy agreement on medical grounds, stating your full name, details of the property booked;
    send medical proof (e.g. letter from doctor) with your request;
    send proof of withdrawal or deferral from the University.
    You will be liable for a minimum of 4 weeks’ rent or to the end of the current rent period, whichever is the longer. For the avoidance of doubt, a rent period is the full contract value up to the fixed end date divided into 3 equal instalments, regardless of the instalment option that was chosen by you at the outset.
    If you have a medical condition that is not recorded on your application, you will remain liable for the rent until the end of the fixed tenancy end date, or until a suitable replacement tenant is found and the room is re-let.

    Sensitive or Exceptional Special Conditions:
    You can submit a request in writing, or by email to salesenquiries@wearehomesforstudents.com or your property email address with supporting evidence (including medical information or supporting information from your place of study as appropriate), to the Special Conditions Panel for your case to be reviewed.
    The Panel will review your request and make consideration of your circumstances. Once the Panel has reached its decision, both you and your guarantor will be notified in writing. The Panel aims to confirm a decision within 10 working days* and is final.
    *This can sometimes take longer due to additional Landlord approval requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can somebody be my proxy for check-in?

If you have reserved a room, ID will be required at check-in and the key will be handed to you after signing the necessary documents.

What amenities will be provided in my room?

All necessary furniture like bed, desk, chair, wardrobe will be provided plus if applicable, basic kitchen appliances will also be included. Some of the additional information will be given when you make a booking.

Do I have to notify the recipient in advance for the check-in?

Yes, we would be glad if you could let us know what time you plan to arrive so that we can have your scheduled check-in ready for you.

What should I do if I am not sure of when I can check out?

Your check-out date is stated in your tenancy agreement, the tenancy deposit schedule, or in any other documents that you’ve signed in relation to the tenancy. You can also go ahead and call the front desk to confirm the information.

How to check out?

To check out, please inform the front desk, return your keys, and ensure your room is left in good condition. Any remaining balance should also be settled.

Do You Need a Guarantor?

Most landlords and letting agents require a UK-based guarantor. Without one, you may be asked to pay your full year's rent upfront. To help students navigate this, we've partnered with Housing Hand, which can provide a recognised certificate of rental guarantee, giving both you and your landlord peace of mind.

It's worth knowing that several of our student halls don't require a UK-based guarantor at all, allowing students to pay rent in convenient instalments instead. To find out which properties qualify and how to get started, reach out to our team. We're happy to guide you through the booking process from start to finish.

    My son had signed a tenancy to move into Port on the Square for September 25. Due to a change in his circumstances, he has deferred his place to 2026. Initially he was told that he would have to find a new tenant for his room himself (using Facebook, spare room etc). After a few weeks of no luck, we talked again with Nikola and Ayush and they agreed that his tenancy could be cancelled at no cost. Once this had been agreed, the cancellation process went very quickly and we received our first rent instalment back promptly. Thank you Nikola for helping us.

    The flat facilities are very new and the flat management team is very warm and responsible! Especially the manager Nikola, she really helped me a lot. I would recommend this flat to the whole world!

    As an international student new to Bristol, living at The Port On The Square has truly been a wonderful experience! From the moment I booked, the staff have been incredibly kind, supportive, and always willing to help and they really make you feel at home especially when you’re so far away from home. The location is also perfect! It’s right in the heart of the city, just a short walk to Cabot Circus, bus stops, and grocery stores. I chose a studio and couldn’t be happier with the space and everything that comes with it. Also, what really makes TPOTS special is the sense of community. There are always fun events to help you meet people, and the shared spaces like the gym, cozy study room, cinema room, and coffee bar make everyday student life so much more enjoyable. If you're moving to Bristol, especially from abroad, I can’t recommend TPOTS enough. It’s been a comforting, fun, and supportive place to start this new chapter of my life at university and in Bristol :).

    As an EF student I lived in the port on the square for 3 weeks and I can say that it was really amazing place to live. First of all, very modern dorm with new equipment. Well located, about 20 minutes walk to the city center, close to bus stops. Very well arranged and decorated common area, both inside and outside. Inside pool table, many places to sit, you can use free coffee machine. Outside ping pong table, beautiful greenery and also many places to relax, and gym. Secondly, very nice reception staff, they were very helpful and smiling, especially Nikola. Rooms and kitchen also well equipped. I saw negative reviews about Wi-Fi, but in my opinion it worked perfectly. Bigger problems appeared because of EF staff themselves, but the Port on the square management has no influence on them, so my opinion about EF will be in the point "ef residence". I recommend this place with all my heart.

    After living at port on the square so far the community they have developed is so lovely, The staff are incredible and it has been great to get to know Nikki, Astrid, Harrison, Ayush and Joshitha. The work they put in to make the place feel welcoming is unparalleled, I highly recommend moving here for the staff alone!
