Night away in Bristol

Nice first impression, reception staff lovely, coming out of the lift the hallway smelt musty, like a hoover that needs a new filter, room okay although carpet would benefit from a clean, bit stained. Room also had a musty smell about it so opened windows to air out?! Maybe a nice light air freshener would be nice? Made reception staff aware sink in bathroom, drain was blocked so very slowly drained water and not a very pleasant smell coming from overflow each time. Our one real moan was the cleaning staff outside in the corridor very early, around 7am, talking very loudly with little respect for guests sleeping, and it was Sunday morning, I was going to open the door and speak to them but tbh they should know this and have more respect! Overall staff lovely and stay was very nice, food good, especially the breakfast

Average

We arrived late on a Thursday night so didn't expect the red carpet to be run out, but were met by a very grumpy man who was extremely economical with words,and looked like somebody who hated his job. Our room was large enough and had a double bed and a double sofa bed. The sofa bed, according to my son was not the most comfortable. The bed was ok, but the pillows were a bit smelly. If the room had been 4 up, there were not enough pillows. Bathroom was clean and functional. We didn't have breakfast and we had no other contact with any members of staff. Hotel was average at best and overpriced for the condition it's in. It's good and central and close to temple meads train station and the airport shuttle bus which leaves from there. Don't think I would stay there again

We booked 2 rooms and although both were on the same floor they could not have been further apart. The bed was made each day but the tea and milk only replenished on one of the 3 days of our stay. If it wasnt that the hotel has its own car park we would probably stay elsewhere.

I love the Novotel in Bristol. Have stayed a few times already and they have all been great experiences. The bed is comfortable, everything is clean, the staff have always been super lovely. This stay was no different. It's always a consistently pleasant experience staying here. It also helps that the train station is less than a 10 minute walk.
