Yes. King Square Studios is a brand new development, so whilst studios are constantly being booked ‘off-plan’ over the website, we would be pleased to welcome you with a coffee at the Show Studio for more details and to see the stunning luxury for yourself. The Show Studio is open Monday to Friday from 11am to 5pm, and on Saturdays and some Sundays from 11am to 3pm. Late nights are available too. To make sure you can meet one of the team there, or book an appointment at a time more convenient to you, why not call ahead on 0844 371 5612 or email us at kingsquare@crm-limited.co.uk. Remember, book now and live at King Square Studios for 51 weeks for your studio to enter our exclusive prize draw this year to win a new BMW MINI. There are 243 studios at King Square Studios, and it’s unlikely that all will be eligible. Those odds are pretty good! So hurry to book your studio asap – whilst there are still some available – and you could soon be the proud owner of a cool new BMW MINI worth over £11,000!

Yes. All our studios have a double bed and loads of storage. We also have some Double Studios which are specifically designed for 2 people (very large studios with 2 desks, 2 wardrobes and generally a dining table and chairs etc). In either case, you will each need to sign a Tenancy Agreement and pay a separate booking fee.

Small things like that are not included in the rent, but we do have different move-in packages for sale and can supply everything you need. So, if you want, you just need to bring your suitcase! Please email the Accommodation Manager at kingsquare@crm-limited.co.uk or call us on 0844 371 5612 if you wish to discuss or order a move-in pack.

What do you mean you don’t believe washing can be that sexy? Ok ok – so it may not be the most interesting of things here at King Square Studios, but it is pretty cool! You don’t need cash to use them, as there’s a smart card (King Square Studios own portal coming soon!) you can use when you need to wash your smalls. Clever, and massively convenient, too- but that’s not the bit that will really impress your friends! You see, if you’re fed up of guessing whether the washing machines or tumble dryers are in use or not (and usually getting it wrong) well now you don’t have to! All the equipment is connected to the on-site internet system, so that you can simply hop on to your computer to see which machines are available, or how far through their cycles they are if they’re being used. So if you’re so minded – or just really, really bored – you can now watch your clothes going round and round in virtual. Of course, that way you do know when your clothes are ready, too (at least that’s your excuse if you get rumbled). And you can do all this from the comfort of your studio, or whilst sitting just a few steps away whilst playing games, chatting or having a coffee anywhere in the Community Hub. Now you have to admit that is worth bragging about!

Very fast! Already included in the rent is 10Mb guaranteed high-speed broadband from Ask4 – the UK’s fastest student broadband provider. That’s 10Mb for both uploads and downloads. And that’s not ‘up to’ 10Mb – that’s guaranteed. For an additional cost, it can be upgraded to a guaranteed 25Mb, or 50Mb. All studios also have a large flat screen TV, tonnes of UK & International satellite channels, FREE access to Ask4’s state-of-the-art IPTV service (Freeview and International satellite channels on your computer), on-line games, free firewall and anti-virus software as well as their unlimited remote data back-up service. Ask4 also offer students at King Square Studios access to their other services at a negligible cost, including access to 50 hours personal storage for recording live TV, allowing you to record, pause, rewind and fast-forward as you wish, a studio telephone and intercom, a Skype telephone, as well as other security features. In addition, we hope to bring you Ask4’s Video On Demand as soon as it is rolled out by them, meaning you’ll never need to rent another movie or TV series again!

There are some 44 week tenancies available, though most studios are for 51 weeks. It’s your own place in Bristol city centre, and home for the year, with your own kitchen and en-suite, so no facilities to share and we don’t kick you out for the summer conference trade. Our management team are there all year round, too – so the building is always occupied and secure.

243 of the best studios in town, brand new for 2010 and purpose built for students. Our rents are very competitive and start from £125 per week, including all utilities, TV, 10Mb guaranteed high-speed broadband and contents insurance. Rents include our trend setting hi-tech specification to all studios plus also include FREE access to most of our extensive on-site facilities, including the Games Loft, Home-Gym & Home-Cinema (see more details at the Accommodation tab), which are unrivalled anywhere in Bristol – and probably most other UK cities for that matter – surely making King Square Studios the best value student accommodation in Bristol! In addition, we have an on-site hi-tech launderette, large self-storage cages plus secure car parking if you have your own car, or a Streetcar Pay-As-You-Go Car if you don’t. We’re the Georgian-looking building on the south side of King Square, a Georgian Square in the city centre; 1 minute walk from the UWE ‘Ulink’ bus-stop and 7 minutes walk from Bristol University campus.

It’s where some of our unrivalled FREE facilities are found, on-site at King Square Studios. It’s where the on-site hi-tech launderette is, but that’s not the interesting bit. There’s a Large TV Wi-Fi lounge for watching the latest must-see with all the UK & International satellite channels. Then there’s a Coffee Wi-Fi Lounge to catch up with your friends. There’s also a Group/Private Study for a quiet change of scene from your studio or place to plan your latest assignment together. Or there’s the Home-Gym for a different kind of work. And then there’s the Home-Cinema for some rest. And of course, there's the Games Loft for some serious playing where you can beat the arcade games, or enjoy the games consoles in the Gaming Den, or perfect your skills on the pool, football or table-tennis tables. So the heart of your social life at King Square Studios is all in one place! (We also have other facilities elsewhere on-site, too, like the secure car parking, loads of bicycle parking, Streetcar Pay-As-You-Go Car, and large self-storage cages.) Further details about these items can be found elsewhere in the FAQs.

We have 40 spaces available. Where else can you find student accommodation in Bristol with so much parking? Your pride and joy (or old banger) will be safe and sound in our secure gated and CCTV-covered on-site car park. There is a charge for the parking, currently £750 for the year. Once you have paid this, your security access fob will be programmed to allow you access in and out of the gated car park. They are being sold on a first-come-first-served basis, so hurry and book your parking at the same time as you book your studio!

Ok! (Deep breath.) So, every studio has a large flat screen TV – either 26” or 32” – included in your rent. It is usually located conveniently above your desk so you can use it as a monitor for your computer (cable included) and so that it can be seen from your (double) bed. Some studios even have a second flat screen TVs where the layout means this is not possible. We supply all the usual free-to-air digital channels, as well as around 10 international satellite channels to cater for different language preferences. In addition to this, we provide free access to the state-of-the-art IPTV service run by Ask4, which delivers around 100 TV & radio channels straight to your computer. So you can watch TV on your TV, or on your computer. Or even on your computer connected to your TV! You can connect to Sky TV if you like, or go for Ask4’s new service 4Record which allows you to pause, rewind and record 50 hours of live TV. And in case that’s not enough, you can watch TV in the large TV Wi-Fi Lounge in the on-site Community Hub. And if your eyes still aren’t square after all that, then how about some TV or a DVD in the fully equipped and internet enabled Home-Cinema. Oh – and by the way – all of this is completely FREE! You are responsible for obtaining you own TV licence as you would be anywhere if you brought your own TV. However, for a limited time only, we will even pay your TV licence if you book for 51 weeks.

Although there’s loads of storage in the studios, we also have large single or double self-storage cages on-site for your surf board or golf clubs etc, or for your bags at the end of the year if you don’t want to take them home. There is a small charge for these.

Most student accommodation – or digs – come in one of 2 varieties: either a rented room in a shared house owned by a private landlord, or a rented room in a flat (or floor or corridor) run by a university or private organisation. The older the property, often the worse the condition. King Square Studios is proud to have none of the above. All of our brand new luxury accommodation is made up of studios. That means that your new home is in effect a self-contained open-plan flat. You have all of it to yourself. No more arguments over the remote control, or hunting for the mould-free bowl in the sink. It is of course fully furnished, and all our studios have as standard and at the very least: loads of storage, a full-size double bed and bedside table, wardrobe, desk and chair, shelving galore, a large flat screen TV, your own kitchen (some PLUS studios have an extra large kitchen) with dining bar and seating, and your own ensuite, with double shower or a few with a huge corner bath! The PLUS studios are the largest studios in that type and/or are on a higher floor (yes – there are great views, and no you don’t need to worry – we have plenty of lifts in the building) so will often come with a sofa – some even have 2 TVs! It really is the future of student accommodation, only it has arrived here first in Bristol. Oh – one last thing we should add: also as standard is the reaction you’ll hear from most people you tell about King Square Studios – something along the lines of: “Student accommodation never used to be like that in my day!”

PLUS studios are the best studios within each category. Depending on the studio, it will either be a larger studio within its category, and/or it will likely have the best views. Also, some PLUS studios have an even higher specification! Depending on the studio, a higher category PLUS studio might boast other features such as a bath, a bigger kitchen, an additional dining bar stool, extra storage, an armchair or sofa, an extra TV, air-conditioning, a dining table and chairs etc. You can download the Studio Floor Plans under the Further Information menu in the right-hand column on most pages of the website, which show all the studios in detail. Every studio is ever so slightly different, so hurry to pick your favourite one before they are all gone!

You might own your own car already. Or perhaps it will be your studio that wins the new BMW MINI that must be won exclusively at King Square Studios this year.
