Alison Court - Urban Apartments

Handy location near our daughter’s student accommodation

The bathroom extractor fan did not appear to be working so it felt very damp in there.

Location and ease of check in.

Nothing.

The great thing about Alison Court Apartments are their location in leafy Clifton, close to Whiteladies Road and the Downs and a short uber ride to the village or into the Bristol City centre. We visit Bristol quite often to see family and having tried several local hotels have definitely found our stays here more comfortable. The even bigger bonus is a large free carpark at the rear which so far has always had plenty of spaces. Being a studio apartment we expected it to be on a small side and it is fine for a short stay.

Not sure if bed was standard double but seemed very small. As our stay was basically a bed for two nights, the fact it was in the corner against a wall, didn't work for me. Especially trying to get in and out of it at night in the dark! We barely used the sofa but it was very small too! There is room for a slightly bigger bed and sofa with a bit of reconfiguration.

It was a good location and it was warm. The kitchen was clean and the bed linen and towels were clean. The cleaner arrived as we were leaving and she was very polite.

It smelt as if pets had been in the studio. There was fur or hair of some sort stuck on the dining chairs. The radiator had thick dust hanging out of it and the main light fixture was extremely dusty. I hung my coat on the wall and it came off with a thick coat of white dust all over it - not sure how to clean that off easily. The shower runs icy cold if someone runs the kitchen tap. The sofa was dusty and could use a deep clean. There was a lot of bird poo on the windows and the communal areas had low head height and dirty carpets.
