Beech House

With the check in process being completely electronic and parking available it was very quick and easy to get started with our stay. The apartment building itself seemed very secure and private. You are a 15 minute walk from the city centre, so the city was accessible but the apartment location was relatively secluded in comparison. The apartment was a lot bigger than expected and extremely clean. Couldn’t hear any noise from other rooms and the temperature at night was perfect (not too hot) even though we were on the second floor. Had no issues with the electronic key and would highly recommend a stay here.

We stayed in a spacious 1!bed apartment on the ground floor. The apartment has everything you need for a short break. It is beautifully decorated and furnished in keeping with the age of the building and is very comfortable. Tea, coffee and milk we provided. Entry to the building and the apartment is via an app on your phone so there is no need for a reception desk. Parking is at an extra cost and ours was off site but only across the road. The only downside that we encountered was that we could hear the people above walking around. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely room, very clean, but like other people, we had problems getting into the building on several occasions, one of which was at 00:30 in the morning which caused considerable distress. There was a 24-hour helpline and the gentleman that spoke to us was helpful and sent someone out to help us. However, the fact that there was no backup key in the lockbox, and that the app is the only way to get in (bar someone coming out) and is clearly not 100% reliable is not something I would risk again. Considering these issues, none of which were our fault, I asked for a partial refund (as I was happy with the room) but was refused. I suppose this makes sense considering how many people have difficulty with the access. I would therefore not recommend staying here for these reasons, unless the check-in process is changed.

Very nice top-floor suite with a full kitchenette and bathroom, both renovated. Comfortable bed and nice hardwood floors. The downside is that there was no air conditioner, nor a screen in the window, so I could not keep it open for most of the day (even a bird flew in and pierced my package of nuts while I was gone!). Also, if you're on the 3rd floor (4th in North America, as ground floor is the 1st floor), you'll have to walk up 4 flights of stairs, which is difficult with heavy luggage. My room was also facing the street, so there was a bit of street noise, but less at night and earplugs totally blocked it. I would stay here again, as it's one of the better short-term rentals in Bristol, but I'd probably stay on a lower floor facing the back.

We had an excellent stay here in a one bedroom apartment. Very well equipped, nice decor, smart entry hall and comfortable. Parking just across the street in a private car park. Easy to walk to Clifton and into the city centre. Marks and Spencer food 2 minute walk on Whiteladies road. The virtual key worked well, it was nice not having to think about a card. Some reviews said it didn’t work but as long as you download the app and do as directed before you arrive it works perfectly well. Don’t forget your phone charger through! I had prompt replies to my emails and spoke to a nice guy at the Urban when I had some questions.

Booked one of the Mews houses for us, our daughter and her boyfriend to stay in on the night of the night of her graduation. It was perfect. 2 bedrooms plenty large enough, both can be set up with large double bed or twins. One is ensuite and there's a separate bathroom. Robes, slippers and L'Occitane toiletries provided. The bedrooms and utility room are downstairs with a good sized open plan living area upstairs. Fairly well equipped kitchen as far as I could tell. ( we didn't cook but I checked). Furnishings and fittings are obviously fairly new and everything is good quality and the whole place was spotless. In short we absolutely couldn't fault it. Our only regret? That we weren't staying longer. For anyone looking for accommodation near the University of Bristol it's close and I'd absolutely recommend this place!
