The hotel was a great place to stay. The staff was very good and helpful.we were able to park on the road.sadly the bar and restaurant was closed as it closes early on a Sunday.You could replace your tea and coffee for your room yourself.Over all a brilliant stay.
Great stay! Lovely big room, curtains didn’t cover the window unfortunately which didn’t help with trying to sleep & I feel the windows could open more, it was small opening

Great staff who were quite helpful with requests to improve stay, but rooms were a bit dirty and needed minor repairs.
The carpets were very stained and the furniture was dated, but the room and the bathroom were clean, the bed was very comfortable. All the staff Clare, Flo and Judith were really helpful with checking in and any questions I had.
Lovely clean hotel. Very friendly staff. The bar and restaurant below the hotel was excellent. Food was top notch and again excellent service. Would definitely rebook when next in bristol
Was a good stay, staff were very nice and helpful. Hotel is in a good location too!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Our room was very small and the bathroom even smaller but the bed was comfy.
As we were on the second floor our 2 small dogs were scared to go in the lift so we had to carry them up 4 flights of stairs.
In the morning we had to carry them back down. Not at all practical really.
But the breakfast was amazing.
Nice little room, ideal for a short stay. Comfy bed & well appointed bathroom.
Faces a busy road, so some traffic noise, but convenient for Clifton village area & buses into & out of city centre.
Lovely hotel in a good location near most things in Bristol. Room is comfortable, a little small, but fine for a couple of nights. Staff were lovely and friendly.
Hotel was easy to find and in a good location near lots of things to do. Receptionist at check in was an absolute doll, very friendly and my room was even upgraded for free. The room was clean, bed soft, noise level was pretty good. The building itself is pretty old, the rooms have physical keys and old style doors and the floors are a bit creaky, but that's not a problem. Great place for the price, would absolutely stay there again.
