“In my opinion, this property presents a mixed experience, with a beautiful building and genuinely friendly staff undermined by some significant drawbacks. While its historical architecture and Bristol location near attractions like Clifton Suspension Bridge are definite assets, reports of stuffy, dated rooms and noise issues raise concerns about comfort. The award-winning restaurant and garden space are strong positives, but the hotel needs to address room conditions to fully capitalize on its potential.”

A stay with minor issues
helpful staff central location friendly reception dated hotel small room grubby throw
The staff were friendly and helpful. They ordered a taxi for me first thing in the morning. The location is ideal for exploring Clifton Village. It is easy to walk to the Suspension Bridge.
The hotel looks dated and tired. My room was VERY small. The throw and curtains looked grubby.

satisfactory location, some room issues
inadequate shower slow drain
the location was good for a clifton event.. i lived a few doors down at university, a nostalgia factor.
the room felt rather tired. i had to rehang the curtain in order to close it across the window and the pole had no finials to stop the rings dropping off the ends. the shower over the bath was very inadequate and the bath drained slowly.
