Bristol Hotel apartments – quality, flexibility and affordability

An Apartment Hotel (also known as Aparthotel and Apart-hotel) is a serviced apartment complex that uses a hotel-style booking system and provides a regular maid cleaning service. It is similar to renting a fully furnished apartment, but with no deposit or fixed contracts and occupants can "check-out" according to the terms of their pre-booked reservation.
Serviced Apartments and Apartment Hotels are ideal for people who want to” live” somewhere rather than merely “stay”.
Apartment hotels are flexible types of accommodation; instead of the rigid format of a hotel room, an apart-hotel usually offers a complete fully fitted apartment, perfect for an extended stay. This allows guests to work to their own schedule, serving their own needs rather than those of the hotel. Aparthotels are usually custom built, and similar to a hotel complex containing a varied amount of units but increasingly they are now also developed within standard blocks of apartments to offer more variety and flexibility.
The length of stay in these apartment hotels is varied with anywhere from a few days to months or even, on occasion, years. For this reason they are also sometimes known as extended stay apartments. The people who use apartment hotels can be staying for business, or visiting as independent travelers or coming to see family and friends. The great advantage is that they can use them as a home away from home because they are fitted with everything a guest would require for comfortable living.
Extended stay apartments are a type of lodging with features unavailable at standard hotels. These features are intended to provide more home-like amenities. There is substantial variation among extended stay hotels with respect to quality and the amenities that are available.
Essentially, apartment hotels or extended stay apartments combine the flexibility of apartment living with the service of a hotel. They usually include high quality finishes, broadband connection , TV and DVD players, servicing and integrated kitchen and bathroom. High quality leather sofas in the living area and luxury beds bring the hotel experience to a whole new level. Those are the luxuries, they also come with the basics: satellite or cable TV, washer, dryer, dishwasher, cooker, oven, fridge, freezer, sink, shower, bath, wardrobes, all the furnishings to be expected in a luxury home.
These self contained apartments  provide kitchen facilities so that guests are able to cook foods at their convenience. The kitchens include as a minimum: a sink, a refrigerator (usually full size) and a microwave oven. Most also have dishwashers and conventional ovens.
Extended-stay apartments and apart-hotels typically offer discounts for longer stays, beginning at 5 or 7 days. . They are popular with business travelers on extended or temporary assignments, families in the midst of a relocation, and anyone else in need of temporary housing. Extended stay accommodation is also used by travelers who appreciate the larger space a typical suite provides.
