Prompt check in tho free early check in would make me want to stay here again, room dated, shared bathroom not ideal but was clean, a great place not too far from centre for an overnight place to stay with free breakfast at reasonable cost. Yes it was hot in the room but then it was outside too

Great value

Really good value for money, great staff and good cleanliness standards. Breakfast is included in the price but the compromise is that the sausage and bacon is poor quality. Please replace the toasting machine! I will come back though x

Nice staff but not clean

The staff were lovely, warm, inclusive, and welcoming. I appreciated the comfortable bed, the bath, and the thoughtful in room touches like fruit, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate (you need to label the jars). However, the overall experience was let down by several serious cleanliness and maintenance issues. The curtains didn’t cover the full window, the sheet didn’t fully fit the bed, and there was a long hair in the bath, rubbish in the bathroom corner, and an old plaster under the radiator all of which remained even after I requested the room be cleaned. Breakfast was served on cold plates, and the sauce bottles were covered in months (if not years) of dried residue. I raised this with staff, and while the plate was warm the next day, the dirty bottles remained. These might seem like minor issues individually, but together they reflect a lack of attention and care so more like a dated budget B&B than a premium Bristol hotel. Cleanliness and basic standards shouldn’t be optional, and unfortunately, this let down what could otherwise have been a pleasant stay.

Friendly hotel in a good position

Great reception staff made booking in a treat. Secure car park well worth the additional cost.Room faced main road and so opening windows did result in noise and as weather at the time was hot meant room could have done with cooling fan. Nice refreshments tray with biscuits and fruit. Hotel very convenient for Bristol as only a 15 min walk to main shopping areascand theatres. We were in room 23 which was small but adequate. Our only issue was the double bed which was small as im tall and was also narrow.
