Comfortable bed and very helpful staff. Easy check-in and check-out. Bathroom (Room 2) in need of some TLC as black mould on sealant a bath/shower area. Perfectly functional place to stay but I was glad to have had a 20% discount as at full price I’d have been unhappy!

The hotel is distinctive with it’s red entrance, lots of information on Bristol It’s got a-lot of character, wonderful staff. The softest cosiest bed I’ve slept in being an Georgian building with such it can do with some maintenance. Breakfast is complimentary with a good selection.

Klaudia

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is run down but staff are very nice and it’s very clean. Would I stay there again- no I wouldn’t. The things to improve is the windows - my room had old rotten single glazed sash and the wind was rattling the whole window. These windows need changing into double glazing because also noise from nearby pubs was bad but the noise stopped at 9.30pm. Breakfast was good and freshly cooked when order was taken, hence a bit slow when loads of people chose the same time slot. Otherwise beds were comfortable, water in the shower hot, everything clean. Also big thank you to the lady in reception who helped me when I was waiting in the lobby and the scammer called me and she helped me. She said ‘your mobile provider wouldn’t ask you those question. It’s a scam. Just hang up’ she was right. So big than you to her today.

a pleasant stay in Bristol

nice, friendly welcome from the woman on reception. I had my single room upgraded to a larger room too which was nice. plenty of tea and coffee in the room along with some biscuits and some fresh fruit. didn’t have time for the cooked breakfast in the morning as i had a train to catch but they arranged for me to have a bacon and egg sandwich to take away with me which was tasty. would definitely stay here again when i next come to Bristol
