I stayed here joining a bunch of about 8 other people staying at the Clifton. We drove down straight from work to make sure we arrived in good timing for a meal out etc. The shower had no hot water both on the evening and the next morning and my partner couldn't even have a shave which I think is...

I stayed there last December for business. It is a very nice hotel, with free breakfast and well-located within walking distance from the village and some interesting places. They have very friendly staff. I had to go to a meeting the day I checked-out, and they kindly accepted to keep my luggage in safe place. The room was fine except... More

We went to Cardiff with my mate to explore the city and to party a little, and the hotel served the purpose quite nicely. Wasn't maybe the cheapest option, but it was in a perfect location and of pretty good quality overall. There was some rather popular jazz bar/restaurant downstairs which we found funny, wasn't exactly our style, but it's... More

the hotel was excellently placed near the city centre but there was too much noise especially if you where on the lower floors. More

I have stayed at The Clifton several times recently, on business and I have been very happy - to the extent that I would have given a rating of 4 last week. The hotel is OK - the staff are very friendly, so my rating of 2 is probably a bit harsh - read on.... Unfortunately this week (and I... More

We stayed here with other members of our family to attend a wedding in nearby Clifton chapel. The good points: 1. Properly secure, secure parking (which was important to us as we had a boot full of tools and furniture). 2. Friendly reception staff. 3. Convenient location, just 10 minutes walk from the heart of Clifton village. The bad bits:... More

I spent a great night at the Clifton Hotel over the weekend. Although the single room I stayed in was very small it offered the basics as expected (decent shower, tea making facilities, warm and quiet with a plasma tv). Friends of mine stayed in double rooms which would have been by far the better option. The staff were extremely... More

My wife and I decided to stay at the Clifton for one night while we visited Bristol. LOCATION The hotel has an enviable location, enjoying an equidistance between the Triangle at the top of trendy Park Street and the delights of Clifton Village. St Paul's Road is fairly busy but neither the traffic nor the students kept us up. All... More

While it is clear that the reviewer found many aspects of their stay at the Clifton very satisfactory, I was both very sorry and extremely disappointed to read that their welcome at the hotel had been so poor. We work extremely hard to train our receptionists to the highest standards, and normally pride ourselves on providing 4* service, despite being... More

After my company booked me into the Clifton, I decided to just check trip advisor to see what kind of place they had booked me into, and I confess that having read the reviews there was a certain amount of trepidation about coming. However since by then it was too late to change I went anyway, and I have to... More

I'm afraid this was a poor choice. The rooms were very small and frankly I have no idea how they managed to find the space to put an en suite in the room. Nor did they. I did book a garage space but they obviously oversold this and there was no space when we arrived. Breakfast was meant to be... More

I am extremely sorry to read that the reviewer felt that they made a poor choice, having chosen the Clifton. We always strive to ensure that every guest leaves the Clifton with a positive feeling but it is clear that in this instance we failed to achieve that.
