We had a fabulous 2 nights at the Marsh House apartments - a real home from home. The high-tech kitchen took some getting used to, but all the instruction manuals for all appliances are readily available. Check in process seemed complex but worked perfectly. You DO need to book the parking at an additional cost. Well positioned close to the harbour (but not overlooking the water). There are 3 supermarkets close by and a family size fridge freezer so we really enjoyed being able to cook our own food rather than eating out. A great alternative to a hotel that we will use again. Try out both the beds if you're in a 2 bedroom - one was significantly more comfortable than the other. Nice homely touches like a few books and DVDs left behind.

After putting up with a Hotel Room for a couple of months, I found Alderman Apartments just what I wanted. I shared accommodation with a collegue for a couple of months but after he left I booked a Single Bed Apartment and I have really enjoyed being on my own. I work in Bristol from Monday to Friday and the Apartments are clean, fully equiped and central to the City Nightlife so you can pick and choose whether to self cater or eat out. The only downside fro me is having to move in on Monday and move out on Friday, but you soon get vinto a routine that suits you. I have used Alderman Apartments all over Bristol and prefer Marsh House or Hammond Court for the security of parking and the local amenities!

So after much searching on the web for apartment to stay the weekend we found the company "alderman apartments", after having a look through we found one that was available and had a look at the pictures, figured it looked ample sized and had all the facilitys we required and of course pressumed being a new build apartment that a lift would be available.

On arriving i must admit the check-in process was extremely quick and efficent, when it came to parking the car in the garage it was a bit of a tight squeeze but it was very secure and i did feel safe leaving my car down there. We took all our stuff out the car planning on getting in the lift and having an easy journey upto the 5th floor where our apartment was situated, but no, the lift was out of order, there wasnt any signs to say the lift was open and we certinatly werent advised before arriving that the lift was out of order.

When finally getting upto the 5th floor and to our apartment we were some what shocked to see just how small the apartment was, our apartment clearly wasnt the one that had the photographs taken and was a lot smaller than made out in the pictures, however it was clean and tidy, had all the amenities we required and did come with a balcony even though it was looking onto a carpark and a block of offices.

The thing that killed it for us was the lack of a lift, the amount of times we had to go up and down those stairs was a killer, failing that it was a pleasant stay and i might consider going again providing a lift was available and the apartment looked a bit more similar to the pictures.

I had high hopes for this property as previous reviews were good and the booking process efficient. We stayed here for 3 nights, Thursday to Sunday. First impression was the underground parking which was dingy and flooded, lift not working and remained broken for the duration of our stay. Our apartment was on the 5th floor so no an impressive start. The accommodation which had been described as brand new and deluxe was far from that. The Apartment was shabby and tired looking, the carpets were very dirty and there was a stale smell, masked slightly by air freshener. The en suite was a disgrace (see photo). Very basic furnishings, small beds, horrible view and not enough towels (We are a family of 4) and only 3 small grey, tired looking towels provided. I emailed the company and they responded by apologising and saying that the lift would be mended the following day (it wasn't). When we returned after a day out on Friday we had I extra towel, a bottle of red wine and a can of febreeze! Very poor show.
