Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel has a very uncomfortable single bed and lacks proper furnishings and decor. There is no duvet on the bed and no option to let fresh air in. The price is not reflective of the amenities provided.
The hotel is in a charming neighborhood of Clifton, perfect for exploring Bristol. The room had a very uncomfortable single bed without the option to let fresh air in, but the furnishings and decor were decent. The service was satisfactory with available dry cleaning and housekeeping. The location was excellent, within easy reach of Bristol Temple Meads Station and the city center. The dining experience was pleasant with local organic products. Overall, a good value for money stay with some room for improvement in comfort.
I found my stay at the hotel to be pleasant overall. The location is quite nice, close to pubs and the city center, making it easy to explore the area. However, the room had some drawbacks with a single uncomfortable bed and a lack of fresh air. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities offered were decent considering the value for money.
The hotel provides a mix of positives and negatives. The location is excellent with easy access to Bristol Temple Meads Station and the lively Cabot Circus shopping area. The rooms lack the option to let in fresh air and only offer a single uncomfortable bed, but the furnishings and decor are decent. The service is average with amenities like dry cleaning and housekeeping available. It excels by being located in a nice area close to the city center, Bristol harbor, and Clifton Village.
