Ideally situated for several restaurants. Bus stop outside the hotel meant easy access all over Bristol as well as a direct trip to the station in 25 mins. Friendly staff, delicious breakfast and a well stocked bar. As long as you don’t mind Stepp hills then ideally suited for the Ashton gate stadium.

The room was in the eaves so headroom awkward on one side of bed. Differing levels in bathroom too. Reception service was a bit haphazard - hadn't a clue when reception unattended if they knew you were there. Parking was also a bit hit & miss and unclear, but it is the same price as overnight parking on the street.

Great location and friendly staff but it’s just too noisy for me. 6am bin collection across the road seemed to be endless- so unless you are an early riser be aware of road noise and external noise- everything else about the hotel was great 😊

Property has character but is somewhat dated in certain areas. Bathroom space limited and tired bathroom suite although functional. Access to the top floor is via a steep staircase which may cause issue for some persons. Breakfast was very good and good choice available. Staff friendly and eager to assist as required.

They should state they only have 7 parking spaces. They should also be clear that if there are no spaces you have to park on the street (a mile away in my curcumstances) I was in room 30 up three flights of stairs. The room was so hit i left in the middle of the night.

First of all the staff are great and the breakfast was good, but it goes downhill from here. Parking is a nightmare and I had to park a distance from the property and carry bags in the pouring rain. Once checked in, I headed to my room which was very disappointing. A strong drain smell came from the bathroom which is the worst I have seen whilst travelling (Room 15), it smelled like the drains in Greece. There was mould all around the bath and soap scum was still present, the sink was also cracked. The room was tiny and had threadbare carpets and a light shone through beneath the door throughout the night. On top of this, noise travels a lot in this hotel, noisy guests downstairs, very very squeaky floorboards in the room above and the guest was walking around between 2am - 3.40am. Bathroom fans from other rooms seem to be on forever and can be heard humming throughout the night. Keen to say that I will not be returning to this hotel again when working in Bristol.

Well situated for restaurants in the evening. Bus stop to and from Temple meads outside the hotel. Older property well maintained, friendly helpful staff. Lovely bar in the evening. Breakfast delicious. Visited 2 weekends in a row for rugby. A lovely 30 mins walk to and from Ashton Gate. And about 30 min walk to the Amphitheatre area.

Clifton, where the Rodney is located, was perfect. We felt very safe walking around and found transportation easy to access. The hotel is very proud of their restaurant. We found it good but not excellent. We wished that we had not had breakfast included as there are lots of others options near the hotel. The room was very clean… the bathroom was great with a huge tub!! Housekeeping kept everything fresh and clean. The front desk staff were awesome. Friendly, helpful and very welcoming. 4 1/2 out of 5!! ps. Check out the Clifton Suspension Bridge while you are there!!
