Serviced apartment or hotel? - By: Michiel Van Kets

Bristol, a beautiful English ancient city, has undergone a huge progress over the last few years. With a rich maritime record the harbour side has seen a lot of development that changed it into a tourist attraction with restaurants, shopping, museums, bars and nightclubs. With all of this to offer it is no wonder Bristol has become one of UK’s most popular destinations to visit today. Artistic venues are every where to be found in every day things as some of the warehouses, like the Arnolfini Art Gallery, Watershed Media and Arts Centre and the At-Bristol Science Exhibition Centre. Also the stylish and modern apartment and office buildings are an artistic venue on their own. People go to Bristol as tourists, culture fanatics, partygoers and business travellers and a place to sleep can be found to suit all people needs whether it is a hostel, a services apartment, a high end hotel brand, a bed & breakfast or corporate housing they are available here. Bristol is a city that likes to have accommodation for everyone.

For those visiting the city, electing to stay in a service apartment can be a better alternative than a traditional hotel.
