Definitely will stay again

The location of the hotel is brilliant. It also had one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in. I will say I was disappointed that even though I had booked an upgrade from cosy to classic I was clearly put in a cosy and then when went to discuss with reception was given another… cosy room. The pictures looked nothing like the room I booked which I even showed to the reception. This to me wasn’t great. The hotel is nice, it’s clearly getting some rooms upgraded but some have a slight ‘faded’ feel. But good for a night and as I said, I slept really really well in that bed.
Car park is very tight for modern cars.
Room condition very poor. Water stains on the walls nowhere near the bathroom. Edging of bathroom cabinets coming off.
Shower head not attached properly to the wall.
Half of TV channels not available.
Staff were really helpful and the hotel is ideal for visiting Bristol.
Parking is easy at the Multi Storey next door, with access directly from the hotel. They also offer discount parking.
Would definitely use this hotel again if visiting Bristol
Location is great. Staff are great. It is less ideal because it doesn’t have AC - there are windows. But it’s not the same. The bathrooms have the dumb half glass. Rooms are certainly on the small side (standard). It’s a fine spot. But it’s not a great spot.
Nice big room. Although, given the price, very little extras (e.g. toiletries).
Room was noisy due to loud music until 2am from downstairs & bathroom fan on constantly, meaning o poor nights sleep.
Good location & parking right next door (although not cheap, even with hotel discount).
