    We recently stayed at this accommodation and had a great experience. The place was very clean, well-maintained, and exactly like the photos. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spotless, and all the necessary amenities were provided including a small kitchen area, which was very useful. The location was ideal and check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. Highly recommended!

    Could have done with a sieve or colander in the kitchen, just a minor inconvenience. Could not find the appliance manuals on the website.

    Very convenient location, spacious, clean and comfortable. Very pleasant. We had a courtyard view, not troubled at all by noise from the street, just seagulls!

    Nothing about the property, but Bristol governance creates havoc in trying to get anywhere in a car. Roads closed and roadworks every way you turn. Recommend travelling by train where possible.

    Superb location for the city centre, handy for all areas of Bristol. Large apartment with all facilities you need for a comfortable stay, however short or long.

    When booking this trip I hoped the venue was central to most of the amenities and I was lucky enough to have a good experience being very close to where the places of interest were. The property was very well maintained and very nice to stay at. Recommended.

    2-Bedroom Apartment in Bustling Bristol
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 2 nights

    Unfortunately, our trip coincided with the heatwave which saw temperatures of over 34deg in Bristol and our top floor roof apartment was SWELTERINGLY hot. They had provided two large fans which were a little helpful, but the windows are blocked from being opened past only 3 inches or so which meant we could not get any decent airflow into the accommodation. We did not sleep well both nights, in pools of sweat, and had to take cold showers several times just to cool down. The heatwave is no fault of SACO itself, but weather like this is only set to increase in frequency and that top floor apartment in the roof should have air-con installed. We noticed the other levels of the building were significantly cooler. However, I would pick SACO Bristol to stay in again as overall, we were very satisfied.

    We booked the 2-bedroom flat on the top floor of the building, for a birthday trip to the city. The location was excellent and the building itself was lovely. The apartment was well equipped and furnished, with plenty of space and facilities for our two night stay. Nice powerful showers, a working TV, washing machine, dishwasher and everything felt very secure. There was even a little lift to help my elderly father get to the very top floor. The communication was excellent and the host was very friendly and helpful. It was very clean throughout. There is a fair bit of noise from the bars and clubs surrounding the area, but that was expected considering its location in the inner city so we didn't mind much. Brewdog is next door, and the lovely river with all the bars and eateries are on the doorstep.

    We were on the third floor, and we chose to walk up and down. The elevator is very small—could feel claustrophobic to some.

    Location is amazing; washer/dryer is super helpful; size is perfect for a couple; wifi was strong; lots of hot water in the shower; love the view from our window. Easy check in/out.

    I don’t like whole carpet in the layer. But there must be a reason for placing. Rather than that, I could not find to dislike.

    The washing equipments (dishwasher and washing machine) are awesome. All considered. Other kitchen equipments are enough for daily usage.

    We did turn on the TV once and the reception was not great. This is not a problem for us as we don't travel to new cities to watch TV but it might be worth addressing for other visitors.

    A great location in central Bristol with easy access to the old city and the waterfront, this well-equipped and spacious apartment was comfortable and quiet. We were able to do a bit of laundry before heading out to explore the city and, when we returned, we had a cozy, big bed to settle into. Plenty of hot water in the bathroom (though it took a bit of experimenting to figure out the tap) and lots of towels to last for our three day stay. Access was easy and the WIFI was good. Would stay here again.

    There was a bit of noise from the apartment above, but it didn't go on for too long. Aside from when the bins with the wine bottles from the wine bar across the street were being emptied, the secondary glazing is pretty effective at keeping out noise from the riverside.

    Spacious studio, comfortable bed, good shower. Centrally located with plenty of options for places to eat within a very short walk. Nice view out over the river.

    It was all good.

    We had a wonderful 2 night stay in SACO House. It is right on the heart of Bristol and right on the water - everything is right outside your door. Check-in worked perfectly - we were texted the door code and the safe code and our pass keys were waiting in an envelope. The first-floor room was large with kitchen, washing machine, high ceilings and front street, first floor views down on the canal. The unit is modern with good hot water pressure and a very comfortable bed. The wifi was easy to access and worked perfectly. The building has the smallest lift I've ever been in, but that's more quirky than a problem. It worked perfectly and just needed relays to get all our luggage up. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
