    The single room was very compact, although it did have everything that I needed. It would have been good to have the bar open later on a Friday night, I arrived back at 22.45 and it was closed.

    Great location, very easy to get from Temple Meads station or into the city centre by bus. Clifton is idea for walking across the nearby suspension bridge to Ashton Court or to visit the observatory. Very friendly and helpful staff. I did not use the restaurant but it appeared busy.

    Bedroom was just tooooo small. Couldn’t swing a cat in it. No dressing table to get ready, nowhere to put a suitcase. And barely any room round the edges of the bed. Also please explain to people about the stairs. We were on the second floor with no lift, and when your awaiting a knee replacement and having to walk up 4 flights of stairs it wasn’t good. Although the lovely girl on reception did help me carry my suitcase. Fine for youngsters , but not elderly or people with difficulties.

    Location great, we didn’t have breakfast as it was far too expensive so cannot comment. Very comfortable beds though.

    The stress about parking beforehand, which was unnecessary as there was enough street parking.

    I asked for a quiet room and the room was actually very quiet and comfortable. The location of the hotel is excellent.

    Room was small. Would have been difficult if you have a big luggage. No a good choice if you want to stay in your room.

    In the middle of Clifton. Nice surroundings. Sufficient if you stay in Clifton.

    No/little ventilation in the bathroom. The mixer shower worked well although the bathroom in particular was looking a little "jaded". Our (south facing) room was stuffy at night and needed ventilation of its own or an easier to open/fix open sash window. Rooms too small- better perhaps to uplift prices and have fewer, larger rooms given the excellent location?

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location and we were able to secure one of the few on site parking spaces which was a great help. Breakfast was excellent although supplies of "breakfast" basics were running low by the time we came down at 0930.

    Nothing not to like about this place

    Location was excellent for everywhere in Clifton. Parking was easy as they have their own private road outside. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice touch that they phoned the day before our stay to see if we had any questions/concerns. Would thoroughly recommend and stay again 👍

    One of our rooms was on the first floor and the evenings were a bit noisy. All in all sounds did carry through the building.

    The hotel is located in a very nice area in Bristol and feels very homey.

    One big minus for me especially because I was traveling alone was the fact that the door was not locking from the inside and from the outside it wouldn't allow me to lock the door properly with the key and if seemed that if someone would have pool the door hard enough the door would have opened.

    I liked the room and the location. I did appreciate the level of detail and that for a small single room, the space was very efficient. I also liked having a French press and proper ground coffee for my morning coffee available in the room.

    It is excellently located for Clifton village and the staff are very welcoming. The single room is small but functional.

    nothing really.

    Good value for the money. My single room was very small, but this is fine. No lift, but was not a problem for me either. The stuff was very nice and helpfull and the breakfast excellent. Although the hotel is not located in the center, it is well connected with a bus line. One of the highlights of Bristol, the historic brige and observatory are just about 10 min walking. Fantastic views. Also recomended to take a trail via a former cemetery nearby, about 5-10 min from hotel, impressive old gravestones in the middle of this part of the city.

    The room was small and it was right at the top which proved to be a challenge after finishing a 15 hour shift. Housekeeping very noisy in the mornings too which meant I could not sleep in. Doors bang loudly so this also didn’t help.

    Property was convenient and the staff were lovely.
