Well thought out amenities in the room, everything you needed to properly live there - a very refreshing change compared to other serviced apartments! Well equipped kitchen, solid internet to work, good amount of space with couch available. Really good spot in the city. We extended our stay several times

SACO Bristol – West India House is ideally located in the heart of Bristol, with easy walking access to restaurants and attractions. The surrounding area blends historic charm with ongoing construction, offering a mix of old and new. The stay came with clear pros and cons. On the plus side, self check-in is straightforward with clear emailed instructions, and early check-in is accommodated when possible. The flat itself is spacious and nicely laid out, and the price is attractive for the location. However, communication and comfort fall short. The TV works only via apps, with no instructions provided, and there’s no guidance on how to operate the heating—problematic during a December stay. Even 24-hour support wasn’t able to help. Supplies are minimal (no extra towels, napkins, or paper towels), so plan ahead if you intend to cook. While advertised as a king bed, it felt closer to a queen—something my 6ft+ partner could easily attest to. The biggest issue was cleanliness, particularly the carpet, which clearly needed a deep steam cleaning. Overall, while the price is good, I would likely pay a bit more next time in Bristol for a more relaxing stay.

Beautiful flat on the heart of Bristol

Lovely, quiet property, right in the heart of Bristol. The flat is beautiful, with lots of places to sit and chill. Complimentary soaps, coffee and tea, and they had even chilled a decanter in the fridge for me to put water in. Lovely attention to detail! I booked this last minute, so it was really too big for just one person, but I would imagine a group of friends or a family would have lots of fun here. My only complaint is that the higher speed WiFi didn't work and the smart TV wasn't connected to the internet, do I couldn't use any of the apps.

Great value for location with all the main attractions at your doorstep or a short walk away. The apartment is very spacious and I was delighted to find a proper king size bed. No problem with street noise; there was some from upstairs but not enough to really bother us. We were able to unload at the door and had no trouble getting a park at the small but closest NCP Baldwin St car park.

The apartment was clean and well furnished with ample wardrobe space and a very comfortable bed. Good shower and quality towels and environmentally friendly toilet paper. Heated towel rail could use a thermostat/timer as hot round the clock. The area is in the midst of a very lively night life culture, and we slept with the window open. The street noise doesn't abate until the wee small hours, but the company have provided an ambient sounds device so we were easily lulled to sleep by the sound of lapping waves, so much so that when the seagulls started squawking at 4am it didnt seem uncongruent. This is our second Saco stay (after Cardiff) and I am happy to recommend the company and the accomodation.
