Premier Apartments Bristol

Enjoyed an excellent two-night stay whilst working in Bristol. The apartment comprised one double bedroom, bathroom with toilet and bath/shower. Also, a large living room and walk-in fitted kitchen. The whole suite was clean and offered a very good standard of accommodation. The bedroom was comfortable and quiet, and the living room was spacious with a dining table and chairs, plus a sofa and another comfy chair. The kitchen boasted a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and cooker/oven. Kettle, cups, crockery and utensils all provided, plus a coffee machine. I asked if I could check in earlier as I needed to change ahead of going to work, and this was kindly permitted. I remain very appreciative of this. Check in process was straight-forward and the instructions provided easy to follow. The staff were friendly and helpful. The apartment is just over five minutes walk from Temple Meads station, and there is a co-op shop nearby which sold everything I needed. Will certainly stay here again and cannot recommend highly enough.

Cons first, pros later Cons On arrival found a large silver fish - as long as my thumb nail in kitchen. Street noise is very loud. The double glazing is clearly defective - we were on the second floor- you can clearly hear people’s conversations on the street at night. The window in our room was not sealed, neither in the other rooms. When shut and locked you could move main bedroom window back and forth. So basically no double glazing or so old it no longer functions. TV very glitchy. Apartment dated. Stains on curtains and light fixtures. Washing machine but not clothes airer so we hung washing over the door knobs in the kitchen. Definitely not worth the money. Pros Staff were helpful over WhatsApp. Location is convenient. Check in was easy over WhatsApp. Welcome pack a nice touch.

Well, I stay away most weeks for work - so have tried my fair share of places to stay up and down the country. However, I’ve not experienced anything like this before. Reception closes at 6pm. A telephone number is posted on the door for emergency contact when reception is closed. Called twice but no response (they did call me back later, but after 40 mins - I’d already given up and gone elsewhere). Didn’t get to stay (gave up and went elsewhere) - would I go back, NO!
