An Affordable Option To Hotels
Bristol the capital of the South West can be an expensive place to stay during the week due to its beneficial location and size. Many international and UK companies especially in the financial sector have regional headquarters in the city and its strategic location makes it the most important business hub for the region.
There is a sizable amount of workers in the city that have been contracted from other locations on temporary contracts. As result they need to find affordable accommodation in Bristol during the week rather than relocate permanently to the city. Working away from home on a longterm contract or for even a week or two can be very expensive in any city but this particularly true in Bristol where demand for hotel accommodation is constant.
Despite the current economic slump in the UK many hotels in Bristol are not reducing their rack rates meaning that businesses wishing to save costs on accommodation have no option but to downgrade the standard available to workers. That may save a significant amount for the business but the noneconomic impact may be to reduce the effectiveness and wellbeing of a worker forced to reside in inferior accommodation.
However businesses may be missing a trick by simply reducing the standard of accommodation for which they are willing to pay. That is because one of Bristols best kept secrets is the availability of serviced apartments. So instead of putting their workers usually ones that are vital to the running of their operation in a cramped hotel bedroom for the week a business could instead opt to put them up in a spacious modern and fully serviced shortterm let apartment.
Qualitybuilt and fully equipped onebed serviced apartments Bristol based usually cost less than a hotel. And often included in the apartment are a modern kitchen with an oven fridge dishwasher and washer dryer; a fullyequipped lounge and all the modcons one would associate with modern city living. Indeed it is an ideal solution for any company wishing to put up its workers on a temporary or extended contract basis whilst for colleagues willing to share twobed apartment options are also available.
In addition the majority of such serviced apartments include entertainment options similar to those available at hotels; Freeview as standard with additional payperview options on cable or satellite. Most also include free broadband and a wireless facility; essential tools for those hoping to catch up with work or communicate with their nearest and dearest in the evenings.
So it is good to know that such accommodation options are available especially considering the current economic climate.
