When booking it says hotel comes with pool and spa etc. when checking in your asked if you want to use it and what time. when you arrive to use the spa your asked if you would like a locker. So you can understand my shock while leaving the spa after using it I was told to pay £10. No where while booking does it say you have to pay extra, only that the room and hotel include these amenities. Which if you have to pay extra after booking I feel as if I was miss sold. Espially as I had a nicer room booked at hotel du vin around the corner. The rest of the hotel needs some TLC of alreast a fresh coat of paint. And I had not once but twice get a new room key as it wouldn’t work. First time after using the spa and being in robe and slippers, second time late at night and having to wait for some one to come to reception.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. On Friday night they allowed us in to the hotel bar even though there was no one else there. The building is very unique and can feel a bit like a maze but it adds to the charm of the hotel.

The wonderful and the woeful by St Nicholas Market

The location and friendliness of the staff were outstanding, the dining room and Speak Easy bar nicely decorated. Alex and the front desk made us feel like family with a friendly smile, helpful attitude and Great local food recommendations! She’s a treasure and I’m sure the other staff take cues from her! However the physical condition of the room , especially at the price point was a large disconnect. Safe not functional upon arrival (fixed quickly), peeling pop t on ceiling walls and window trim, surely someone should have noticed. l

Location was perfect for exploring Bristol. We changed rooms initially on arrival as first room was quite dark, but thanks to Jean on reception we were moved quickly Spa on site was a bonus. Would defiantly return

Great hotel in historic building

Lovely hotel in a beautiful historic building. Great central location. We felt we had 'splashed out' for a suite so I was expecting the room to be a bit bigger or have a separate sitting area. It was a lovely room, but maybe not worth the step up in price. The spa is really good, had everything I would look for The general finish is all to a really high standard. I was a bit surprised though to find the carpet on the 1st floor where we stayed is fairly dirty. Wouldn't normally care, but since it's a proper high end hotel, it should probably be addressed

Nice hotel, great location.

Great location. The hotel is nice but we found our deluxe room was too hot (air con only went down to 18 degrees but didn’t seem to cool the room at all) we couldn’t keep the window open without propping it up with a toilet roll. The bed was very comfortable and the Bramley toiletries were lovely but it would have been a nice touch to have a bedside clock in the room. The elevator and dining room floor could do with a really good clean. The bar closed early and staff were more concerned about setting up for breakfast which was a shame when we returned to the hotel for drinks after seeing an evening show. Not really worth £265 per night in our opinion. Minor point but if you have coffee pods in the room it would be helpful to have a menu as to the type of coffees to chose from.
