Good hotel let down by staff
The hotel itself was great for the price, centrally located and clean with a large room. Unfortunately some of the staff let the hotel down with their unprofessional behaviour and awful customer service. Enough to put us off Novotel for life.

A good place to stay when visiting Bristol, as it's only 5-10 minutes walk into the City Centre & riverside attractions. The reception is spotless and spacious, with very efficient staff. Due to a fall the day before arriving my wife arrived in a wheelchair, and without any fuss or request from myself, the reception staff allocated us a wheelchair friendly room on the 1st floor. Both lifts worked perfectly, although at busy times there was a bit of a wait for one. On-site car parking (two underground levels) is a good, although some spaces seem smaller than others. But plenty of SUV's and Transit-sized vans were parked comfortably on the upper level. Pay for parking at reception, then scan the ticket at the barrier when you leave. The bar area has plenty of comfortable seating areas, although bar prices are obviously higher then the nearby pubs. We didn't dine in during our stay, but can only say the food looked (& smelt) delicious on the plates that passed by us. Our room (108) didn't have the best of views, overlooking the rear access roads and neighbouring office buildings. But it was quite adequate for weekend stay, with tea/coffee facilities, ironing board, iron, hairdryer, disabled wet room shower, nice big bed, and a decent TV. Downsides were a lack of storage space for clothes & empty suitcases, no coat hooks, and an absence of 240v sockets to plug in chargers for phones or other devices (especially as this was a disabled persons room).

Dirty room. Dust everywhere, food and waste in bins, bodily fluids in bathroom, hairs in sink and on toiletries. Photos sent to staff members phone as requested to be forwarded to manager I was told got refund. Spent all Saturday on phone to Expedia and at reception desk. Weekend ruined my son’s 8th birthday treat this was supposed to be. Promised refund by staff and waiting update.

The sofa bed in the triple room was filthy. The sheets had not been changed since the last guests and there was blood on the sheets. We checked in at night and the staff member who initially tried to resolve it was lazy and incompetent, trying to avoid doing what was required (came 3x to try and change sheets). A second staff member came and she sorted it out. The next day, my husband spoke to the manager and she offered us free parking and free breakfast.

Carpets were old and dirty, the bathroom was not very clean. Towels and sheets (or maybe it was the mattress) had a mildew or sweat smell. I really think a renewal is required asap.
