How to Choose Serviced Apartments and Save on Expencive Hotels
01 year ago

in Accommodations
Fed up with inflexible and expensive hotels? Having spent years travelling for both business and leisure, we were. Then, a couple of years ago, we discovered the joys of Serviced Apartments. The idea was so good, we started a company providing this service so that people like us could discover a luxurious and spacious “home from home” in Bristol .
With individually furnished one and two bedroom apartments conveniently located throughout the city, we can meet the needs of any discerning visitor to the city.
What is a serviced apartment?
A serviced apartment is a domicile available to rent by the day, week or month. It is complete with all the items necessary for you just to move in. These include such things as cooking apparatus, furniture, bedding, broadband, cable/satellite TV, CD and DVD player.
It is also customary for serviced apartments to provide services like maid services and linen changes.
How is a serviced apartment different from a hotel?
Basically, hotels target tourists and business people who only want a very short stay where serviced apartments provide quarters for guests to live with amenities ideal for those who want to do more than sleep.
Unlike hotels where you have to work to their timetable serviced apartments offer you the opportunity to continue to live your life the way you want to – working, eating, relaxing and sleeping in ways that suit you.
We work predominantly with executives and consultants on long term projects, people relocating or between homes, families and friends visiting their relatives and visitors exploring what Bristol and the surrounding country have to offer.
What should you look for when selecting a serviced apartment?
Surrounding area – is it convenient for travelling to work or to take the children to school? Are their shopping areas, cafes and restaurants nearby? Is there good access to public transport? Is the area safe and reputable?
Room type and layout – even with the same number of rooms, size and layout often differ. Check out that these meet your needs
Quality of the amenities – don’t be afraid to ask to view your apartment in advance – after all it will be your home. Check for age, quality and comfort.
Items included and excluded – it is important to verify what is included in the rent such as cleaning, linen change, telephone line, utilities, broadband and internet charges.
What is the notice period – the whole point of serviced accommodation is that it is reasonably flexible. Any notice period longer than a month should be unacceptable.
Armed with this check list you should confidently be able to find a serviced apartment to meet your individual need. Whether you are in Bristol for work or leisure, visiting friends and family or between homes there will be the right apartment for you.
If you are traveling with your family, your children can enjoy the space to play with their toys- especially on a rainy day, whilst you relax and enjoy listening to your cd collection. Convenience of sofa bed for your friends who can come and stay too! After a successful shopping trip you have plenty of space to store the shopping!
If you are on a weekend break visiting family, why not invite them round for dinner or you are away for that special anniversary, then check out advice on good local takeaway and have dinner delivered as a real treat. You only pay for the apartment so there are great savings for groups/large families traveling together.
At last we have a good link to the Bristol airport.
The Bristol International Flyer is the only express coach link between Bristol railway station (Temple Meads) and Bristol bus station and Bristol International Airport. Furthermore a new service now connects with key hotels throughout the city centre, Clifton and Redland. There is a comfortable Flyer lounge at Temple Meads train station. The journey time is approximately 30 minutes. There is no need to pre book, simply pay on board.
Bristol International Flyer – New Route & Improved Frequency
The Flyer Express Coach link between Bristol International and Temple Meads Railway Station will now operate every 15 minutes at peak times. This improved frequency will allow greater connections with the rail network and coincides with the launch of an exciting NEW coach route serving the key serviced apartments in the City Centre, and the Clifton and Redland areas of Bristol.

Budget Travel – What Is Hostelling
01 year ago
by admin
in Accommodations
Hostelling was once thought of as the exclusive province of college kids traveling through Europe for the first time. However, hostelling has grow to include all ages, and all types of people. When traveling on a budget, staying at a hostel can be a great experience for the traveler with a sense of adventure.
Of course, hostel travel is not for everyone, and some travelers would rather spend extra money for solo accommodations. In general, hostel traveling is best suited to solo travelers, or to groups of young people traveling together.
Hostel stays are generally not recommended for families traveling with young children, and many hostels do not accept children under a certain age.
Most hostels are set up as dormitory style rooms, with a number of bunk beds arranged throughout the room. The number of bunk beds in a single room varies, with the average from four to ten bunks per room. Each traveler is assigned a specific bunk upon check-in.
Almost all hostels in the United States divide their accommodations according to gender, with the female guests in one block of rooms and the male guests in another. In multi-floor hostels, each gender is often assigned a specific floor or group of floors.
In many European locations and elsewhere around the world, however, many hostel rooms have mixed genders sharing a room. If this is a concern, be sure to ask about it.
Many woman traveling alone found no problem with these arrangements, and many have stayed in hostels throughout Europe, including Rome, London and Amsterdam. Some visitors, however, are surprised at these arrangements.
The bathroom accommodations at hostels vary as well, with some rooms containing a shared bathroom and shower, while other hostels will have shower and bathroom facilities located in the hallway. If this is an important consideration, you should make sure to ask about bathroom facilities when making the reservation.
And reservations are becoming increasingly important at hostels, especially during the summer months in popular locations.
Where once it was common for travelers simply to drop by the hostel and get a bed, it is now not at all unusual for hostels in popular tourist destinations to be booked solid for months.
The main appeal of staying at hostels, of course, is the price. The nightly rate for a hostel rarely rises above $25 or $30 per night, with most hostel accommodations costing far less.
With the average hotel room hovering around $100 to $150 in many locations, it is easy to see why hostels are becoming so popular.
In addition, the staff at most hostels are extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about the local area. Unlike many staff members of some luxury hotels, who travel in from the suburbs and rarely see the city in which the live, hostel staff tend to live in their city, and they have an intimate knowledge of the local attractions, including which attractions are can’t miss and which ones are a waste of money.
In addition, hostels often have access to discounts and coupons for local area attractions and restaurants, and they can provide valuable information on the best, lowest priced restaurants in the area.
While staying at a hostel is not for everyone, and the local hostel will never be mistaken for a Ritz Carlton, hostels can be wonderful budget accommodations for the budget minded traveler.
After all, the goal of travel is to get out and see the world, and hostel travel lets you spend your limited travel dollars doing just that.

Lane is waiting for Abu Dhabi event
01 year ago

in Accommodations
Winning this week’s Joburg Open in South Africa would guarantee the 49-year-old a start – and would also make him the oldest winner in Tour history.
Barry Lane is still waiting to discover whether he will play the 650th event of his European Tour career in Abu Dhabi next week.
The chance is alive for the ex-Ryder Cup player after an opening 65 yesterday.
That was three behind little-known South African Neil Schietekat and it put him in joint eighth place, but all seven players ahead of him were on the easier West Course at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington yesterday.
Hi golfers,there are golf clubs for sale ,if you like you can get it with low price such as ping g15 driver .
Like fellow Englishman Danny Willett, Lane went round the much longer and tougher East lay-out in six under par.
Schietekat, not even in the world’s top 1,000, led by one overnight from compatriots Charl Schwartzel and Jbe Kruger, Ulsterman Darren Clarke and England’s Simon Khan and David Lynn. Scot Alastair Forsyth was one further back.
Irishman Des Smyth remains the circuit’s oldest champion. He was just past his 48th birthday when he lifted the Madeira Island Open in 2001.
Lane is 50 in June and becomes eligible for seniors golf then, but will need no reminding that Greg Norman was third in the 2008 Open at 53 and 59-year-old Tom Watson went even closer at Turnberry last July.
There is still a long way to go for Lane to match Sam Torrance, whose record of 705 tournaments could stand forever.
happy day!
