Overview – The FIZZ Bremen
The FIZZ Bremen is a purpose-built student residence located at 28359 Bremen, Germany, within easy reach of Universität Bremen. The property offers furnished one-bedroom apartments and studios, with monthly rents ranging from 808 EUR to 1 326 EUR (indicative – confirm with the operator). The minimum lease term is six months, which makes it suitable for both exchange semesters and full academic years. On‑site facilities include a game room, laundry facilities, and parking. According to Google, the residence holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 260 reviews.
Who this residence suits – and who should look elsewhere
Suits you if:
- You are a student or exchange visitor at Universität Bremen and want to live within walking distance or a short tram ride from campus. The property’s location directly serves this need.
- You prefer a modern, self-contained unit with your own kitchen and bathroom. Studios and one-bedroom apartments offer full privacy – no shared facilities.
- You value a social atmosphere. The game room and common areas allow you to meet other residents without leaving the building.
- You need flexibility in lease length: a six-month minimum accommodates semester‑long stays, while longer terms are available.
Less suitable if:
- You are on a tight budget that cannot stretch beyond the lower end of the range. The 808 EUR starting price is the same as Bremen’s city‑wide starting price for student housing (also 808 EUR). But the top end (1 326 EUR) is significantly higher. If you need the cheapest possible option, a shared flat (WG) in the private market may be less expensive – though reliability and amenities vary.
- You expect a high level of responsive management across all staff. One Google reviewer reported a negative experience with a staff member named Frank. While other reviewers praised the team, individual interactions can differ.
- You require a very short lease (e.g., a few weeks). The minimum of six months means short‑term visitors or summer‑school participants may not be eligible.
What residents actually say
Three Google reviews provide a snapshot of real experiences. Below are verbatim quotes (including any incomplete endings as originally posted).
Positive experiences:
“I was very happy to live at Fizz in Bremen during my exchange. My room was modern, clean and nice with my own small kitchen and bathroom. Fizz is very nearby to the university which I enjoyed a lot and the tram is convenient and close as well. The facilities were fine and it was great to have common rooms and a little ”
– Sofie Christiansen, 5/5
“Fizz Berman is truly excellent. The reception staff are very professional and welcoming, especially Rene, who is outstanding. He is extremely kind, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. Thanks to him and the reception team, my stay was even more enjoyable.”
– Amir Mashmool, 5/5
A critical review:
“I had to write this review as an awareness for tenants who are looking to stay, honestly on of the worst decisions i took staying there for a long term, I believe Frank in specific job is to make your life harder at your stay, very un‑comfortable to ask him for anything always will be a no/unhelpful, genuinely getting ”

Interpretation:
The majority of reviews (over 260) average 4.8 stars, suggesting most residents are satisfied. The two positive reviews highlight modern rooms, proximity to university, and helpful staff (specifically Rene). The one‑star complaint points to a possible inconsistency in service from a particular staff member. Peter essam’s review is cut off, but the message is clear: he found Frank unhelpful. Anyone considering a long‑term stay should be aware that service quality may vary by staff member. It is advisable to visit in person or ask current residents about the management team if that is a priority.
Price positioning and room‑type guidance
Bremen’s starting price for student accommodation in this data set is 808 EUR per month – exactly the same as the lower end of The FIZZ Bremen. That means the residence is competitively priced for its entry‑level units. However, the range extends to 1 326 EUR, which is well above the city baseline. The higher end likely corresponds to larger studio apartments or those on premium floors.
Room‑type breakdown:
- Studio: A self‑contained unit with private kitchen and bathroom, typically compact but fully functional. Suitable for one person who values full independence.
- 1‑bedroom apartment (1b): A separate bedroom plus living area, kitchen, and bathroom. Offers more space and separation between sleeping and living zones. Best for couples or those who work/study from home and need distinct areas.
Budget guidance:
If your monthly housing budget is around 800–900 EUR, the cheapest studios or one‑bedroom units are worth considering. For budgets above 1 000 EUR, you gain access to larger or better‑appointed rooms. Always confirm exact rent and what is included (utilities, internet) with the operator, as the advertised price is indicative only.
Booking timing and practical notes
- Minimum 6‑month lease: Plan your move‑in date so that your stay covers at least six months. If you are an exchange student for one semester (typically 4–5 months), you might fall short; check whether the operator offers any semester‑aligned contracts or exceptions.
- Availability: The data does not show a specific “available from” date. For 2026/2027, applications often open several months before the start of the semester. For the winter semester 2026 (starting October 2026), it is wise to begin inquiring around April–June. For summer semester 2027 (starting April 2027), start looking in late 2026.
- Deposit: No deposit amount is shown in the data; confirm this with the operator during booking.
- Facilities: Parking, game room, and laundry. If you plan to bring a car, check availability and any extra fee for parking. The game room is a common leisure area – useful for socialising but may generate noise. Laundry facilities are on‑site, avoiding trips to a laundromat.
- No hidden agencies: This article does not reference any external booking platforms or education agencies. For bookings, contact The FIZZ Bremen directly through their official channels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum lease length, and can I stay for only one semester?
The minimum lease is six months. A standard German semester is about 5–6 months depending on exam periods. If your semester runs exactly six months (e.g., October to March), you can likely meet the requirement. For shorter terms, you would need to negotiate directly with the operator – but according to the data, six months is the firm lower bound.
Are utilities and internet included in the advertised rent?
The data does not specify what is included beyond the monthly rent range (808–1 326 EUR). As a general rule in purpose‑built student residences, heating, water, and electricity are often included, but internet may be extra or provided via a third‑party contract. Do not assume anything – ask the operator for a full breakdown of included costs before signing. The price shown is indicative only.
How do I book a room, and when should I apply?
Booking is done directly with The FIZZ Bremen. The property does not appear to be affiliated with any university housing office, so you must contact them on your own. For a stay beginning in 2026 or 2027, start your application 3–6 months ahead. For the winter semester 2026, that means around May or June 2026. Early application increases the chance of securing your preferred room type, especially for studios, which tend to be in higher demand.
