Great location to explore central Bristol especially if seeing anyone at the university. Limited parking available but good value in comparison to the nearby multi storey. Yes it’s a tired old property. But it is what it is. Clean sheets and towels. Hot water etc. a bit dated and needing an upgrade but so are many places. Good selection of tea and fresh ground coffee in your room. Fans for then it’s hot. Recommended but don’t expect a 4 star hotel. It’s a great little 3 star and perfectly adequate and well located with friendly and helpful staff.

Very nice staff. Very basic room with single glazing onto a busy road and poorly sealed too, but the room was warm despite it being 0 degrees outside and it was clean. The bed was soft and unstructured - probably old. Breakfast was pretty so-so.
