This day was perfect for my 3-day conference. It's the late bar and late checkout is very comfortable to spend time in.

A really nice hotel that feels quite special. not modern but classy.... the room style is a little old-fashioned but i guess it could be seen as part of its charm....bar and restaurant area is VERY nice....Staff are exemplary. also a good breakfast, which is becoming rare in hotels

Hotel is centrally located, with many restaurants, bars and activities in short walking distance. The car park is convenient, literally next door with direct access from each floor. My room was comfortable, but quite small for the price. Noise insulation wasn’t great, lots of street noise and I could hear every word from the TV in the next room.

We stayed just for one night after seeing a show at the Hippo Drome. Super friendly staff, lovely room and breakfast. One of the best night sleep I've had in a while

Liked: Cleanliness
The location is great and the hotel's facilities are fine, but I was given a TINY room (no 421). There was no cupboard space, I had to squeeze along a wall to get into bed, and the bathroom was so cramped that I had to choreograph an elaborate move to enter it, turn round and/or get into the shower. My complaint about this was met with the disinterested and dismissive response that this was "a standard room". I was exceptionally disappointed.

Great hotel for families and couples
Lovely welcome even though reception was really busy booking in a large party. Birthday gift was a great surprise and started weekend celebrations off perfectly. Everywhere in the hotel was really clean and well maintained. Breakfast isn't cheap but is good quality with a wide variety of food and excellent service. Parking is very convenient and they have improved security since our last stay. Would definitely recommend this hotel for couples and families as its location is perfect to access the best of Bristol's attractions.

Absolute hole, spent too much for a room smaller than a prison cell! Loud as all the clubs that surround it because the place is in the middle of every club and bar so all i heard was garbage trucks, loud music, bottle bins and drunkards. Do yourself a favour and bring a cardboard box with you, itll be better than staying at this 5 floor .... stacked hotel

A very warm welcome. The room was very nice, bathroom tiny but adequate. The plug sockets on the dressing table desk area are not placed well, too low to the surface so drying my hair with my Dyson wrap was awkward. The room was much too dark. Why are there never enough lights in hotel bedrooms? It was still good overall, just niggles commented on.
