Good value room above a pub conveniently located

We stayed at Channings because it was convenient to visit family in Clifton. Rooms were fine for our needs, wifi was good enough for work-related video calls, continental breakfast was good. Staff were helpful. Since the rooms are above a bar, we were not surprised by typical noise from downstairs, and it did not affect our ability to rest and sleep.

Dated and run down but didn't spoil our stay

The room was large and comfy but very very old and aged. Not sure anything but a lock of paint has been done to the rooms for 20 years plus! It didn't spoil our stay and I liked that the room was large, but have low expectations about the room! Walls also paper thin but quiet location on a Sunday night.

We stayed here as 2 families: 3 adults and 4 children. The family rooms were spacious and equipped with comfortable beds. The breakfast was excellent value and very tasty. The building itself needs a little TLC, but that didn’t lessen our experience. All of the staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly. They helped us with looking after our bags and transport queries. They were even patient with our excited children. The location is nice and quiet. It is in a pub so there’s bound to be some noise at closing time, but that’s to be expected. There are several buses available nearby and it’s only a short walk to the suspension bridge & play park. We would definitely stay here again.

Renovation needed

This was the 2nd time we had stayed at Channings, it suited our needs perfectly as family live close by.My criticism is with regard to the general state of the decor in our room,(22). It was tired and in parts rather shabby. I am certain that there is a programme for renovation but I believe there needs to be a sense of urgency with this. Our room was cleaned well and the water fabulously hot, for which I thank you.Reception staff were friendly and helpful.

The Channings

The location is good for Bristol, the hotel room was at the top of the building, very poor ventilation and although a fan was supplied, the room was very hot. Hotel room was very basic. We didn’t have the breakfast ,coffee was just a pot of filter coffee. The room seemed quite shabby, although was clean and the mattress comfortable.

Was Ok

Arrived and waited arou d 10-15 minutes for check in member of staff was looking to see where the lady was & unable to locate her. Was advised we were on the top floor....attic room was average size, very warm window opened slighly, view (brick wall) not great. Fan too small for room, tea/coffee etc supplied no option for cows milk or alternative. Shower was nice, water pressure was good. Was located right by the door on top floor so heard the door open everytime & people walking pass. Had food in restaurant was warm not hot.

Was reasonably priced for the area but still simple basics were missed and the top floor was far too hot. Two inches of window opening and a weak fan were not enough to prevent a terrible nights sleep.

This was a great location for us. It is only a 10 minute walk to the heart of downtown Bristol. We booked the family room. It offered plenty of space for my daughter and me. Around the corner is a GREAT sandwich shop called Sandwich Sandwiches. They close around 3pm so don't miss out on one of their freshly made masterpieces! 10 minutes away are lots of restaurant options for quick grab-and-go options. The hotel staff were awesome! I had a really long day of walking up and down hills and really needed an ice bath. The lady working the desk hooked me up and gave me a big bag of ice....very cool!

Woefully grim!

Very poor for a Green King. Property surrounded by resident permit bays only, which was not mentioned when booking, only no on site parking. Room was awful and grubby, in desperate need of updating (see photos) I would be embarrassed to have any family stay in this family room, it was that bad we almost left but decided to go out all evening and only reluctantly sleep there. Had i known the state of the place I would have stayed well clear. I have stayed at Green King places before and been generally happy, but this was a awful room. The busy pub downstairs was freindly and ok. Would not stay again and probably steer clear of Green Kings in future now. Cant add photos , but trust me it was very sub standard.

Absolutely NOT worth for the price I paid. In my room the heating didn't work so I asked for the room to be changed (which thankfully they did) The room furniture was badly chipped as well as the bath tube.an extremely old TV : no way I could connect an amazon firestick. I was the only costumer sitting for breakfast and I had to wait more than 20 minutes to make my order. I kindly asked the receptionist to send me an invoice via email which she never did. Quality of the food served not bad.

Comfortable but dated

The hotel is ok but needs a lot of TLC. It is functional but certainly don’t book if you are looking for a spacious room with a modern feel. The room we had was small and outdated with a double bed that was comfortable. We did use the restaurant downstairs for dinner, which was reasonably priced and food was good. Breakfast was your normal continental or cooked breakfast and again it was ok. Parking in the area is a nightmare and the hotel does not have any or even one space where you can off load your bags. We ended up parking about a 10 minute walk away.

Bonne expérience, beau bâtiment, nous sommes arrivés tard mais grâce a l’aide du personnel nous avons quand même pu arranger un check in beaucoup plus tard que prévu. Merci beaucoup pour votre aide et pour cette expérience positive dans l’ensemble, même si les chambres sont assez anciennes et pas de la meilleure propreté, très convenable pour un court séjour.
