Disliked: Room comfort
Nothing special. Booked for 2 x adults and 2 X children, only 3 bed spaces made up. Alerted reception at around 4pm just after we checked in and told that housekeeping would sort. Went out, upon our return at 7:30pm with tired children the bed was still a sofa. Receptionist came up with some sheets as housekeeping had gone home. They did offer to make the bed but we did it ourselves. Dodgy brown stains on the quilt. Sofa beds ran at an angle so felt like you were laid on a hill. TV was dated and a pain to work with minimal channels. Pillows hard. Bed not comfortable. Suspicious fluid stains all over the wooden headboard which showed themselves in the glow of my phone screen Various noises heard from elsewhere in the property disturbing sleep. Everything at reception seemed to take a bizarre amount of time and everything seemed to require trips to reception. Queue to check in. Find a problem, call reception, no answer. Back down to queue to tell them the issue. Paid for parking upon check in. If we want to leave the car park we have to queue up for them to scan our ticket When we want to check out, again we have to queue up to scan the ticket. Much better hotels around!

Expensive and not special
Expensive for a very mediocre stay. Shower was terrible - low pressure and taking ages to get hot water to run in. The thermostat did not keep the temperature stable. Pillows were lumpy and not comfortable. Not the great experience I would have expected for nearly £150/night!

Ok but slightly disappointed
My husband and I were spending Fri and sat night in June to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The location of the hotel is central and we walked everywhere in Bristol from there. Breakfast was priced additionally and at £18ph we chose to try the eateries in Bristol instead. For a 4* hotel we were a little disappointed, we waited at the reception desk for 5 mins before asking a lady in the bar to come and serve us. She came to get the staff out of the back rooms for us, we even saw a lady eating lunch and ignoring us through a window. The ne thing we would complain about was the pillows. We had a square continental pillow and a standard rectangle pillow each but all 4 were soft and lumpy and very uncomfortable. We asked the first morning if it could be changed but they said that's all they had. Room was not cleaned thoroughly in between guest, we found a euro coin under the tub chair and when I looked for an earing I dropped it was clear the area beneath the bed was cleaned in a while, the same for the skirting boards.

Lovely stay, I will return.
Greeted by friendly staff followed by a comfy spacious room on arrival. Great location for everything Bristol, centre & harbour side. Two quiet nights later even though the reception was very busy, I still received a kind word from staff for my journey home. I couldn’t imagine anyone visiting will regret it.

We parked at 11am and advised we were there, we were advised we could check in after 2pm. We gave it some extra time and came back at 3.30 to be told the room allocated to us hadn’t been cleaned. It was sorted by reception staff however it made the check in process not smooth after a really busy day and especially when we’d advised we arrived in the morning. I did expect it to be a bit better than that. Appreciate that it was sorted but I’d hope that isn’t a usual occurance. It was my daughters birthday and they did give her a nice card and some chocolate which was appreciated
