Fawlty Towers is like Sandy Lane Hotel, Barbados in comparison with this hotel. Talcum powder on bathroom floor on arrival....still there 3 days later. Got a rash from bed linen. Towels were White once upon a time. Table in room but no chairs in sight. Dust in the wardrobe turned my black clothes to white. The carpet on the staircase... More

wonderful, friendly staff, (even the receptionist dribbling over his cooked breakfast at check out.) However, the smell of shake n vac, the dirty crockery, old blankets and chipped paint work need sorting. More

Saw some negative reviews about hotel and location. We stayed here for one night and were impressed by both the hotel, the location and how we were treated by the staff. We also had a great meal in the restaurant. This is underrated! More

The Hotel gets 2 stars, 1 for the closeness to Bristol and 1 for the very good breakfast. We stayed here for 4 nights at Christmas 2011. We chose this Hotel to to be near family in Bristol. We found the hotel to be on the cold side, very dull and dreary. The twin bedroom was spacious but the shower... More

I defy anyone to find more helpful and accommodating staff than those at Arnos Manor - Raquelle and Lara in particular were just lovely :) Hotel perfectly located for our visit to local TV studio.

We requested a double room and were given a twin room which we were able to change. When entering the room there was a distinct smell coming from the bath drain and the room... More

The hotel smells of damp in places. The arm fell off my wife's chair in the bar. But worst of all the restaurant was freezing cold, the service was extremely slow and when my wife complained about the coldness of the room the Duty Manager called us nutheads. This place makes Faulty Towers seem refined and dignified. Half an hour... More
