“Not quite that bad!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013

Over priced for what it is, the hotel is tired and in need of decoration with a number of stains on the ceilings. The garden needs some serious work, even cutting the grass would be a great improvement. On the positive side the hotel and linen is very clean and the food very good. A little work would improve this... More

“Not a 3 star - Avoid !”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013

We stayed there for one night in May. Our room was on the second floor (with NO lift) - it was tiny and hot. The inside of the door was damaged, the bathroom space was minimal with a cheap plastic shower corner; the bedmattress had coiled springs sticking out. The wallpaper around the small window was damaged and the outside... More

“Fawlty Towers”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2013

This is Bristol's own version of Fawlty Towers. If there is a way to do it wrong they'll do it. I was put in 3 different rooms during my short stay there - two of the room doors did not lock properly, one had a constant dripping toilet, two of the rooms were tiny to say the least, one of... More

Fortunately our in house maintenance team was able to fix this issue quickly and were called to the hotel immediately on discovery of this fault. The second lock issue... More

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013

We asked for a room at the back to be quiet (as suggested by previous guest) so accepted that the room was small but it was so incredibly hot! We were told to open the window which wouldn't stay open. Didn't expect for the quality of the hotel to sleep on a sheet directly on the mattress, not acceptable or... More

I arrived thinking I was going to drive into a gated area to park my car for £6.50 a day only to find there are only 7 spaces! Obviously there were none left by the time I arrived. It was really difficult to park/unload then I had to drive round on Friday night to find parking which I did 5... More

We've stayed here a couple of times when we go to concerts. It is the heart of Clifton and plenty of interesting shops and pubs and of course the Clifton Suspension Bridge is nearby. Sadly the restaurant was fully booked so we ate elsewhere. We asked for a quiet room which we got, looking over the garden. That certainly cut... More
