Very convenient for the area we needed. Nice and clean and friendly staff. Let down by very limited breakfast and evening menus (too tired to traipse out restaurants. Cold plates meant food was always cold before you managed to eat it.

Great Location

We stayed 4 Nights, great location, we were on the 6th floor directly opposite temple meads station, also buses running frequently to the city centre. Restaurants and bars to harbour side all in walking distance.The hotel was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Bed comfortable, choice of pillows for your comfort. Breakfast ok a little repetitive, hot or cold option served and maybe a choice of vegan, vegetarian sausages could be added.

Great hotel for en route trip to the airport..

This was for an overnight stay after arriving at Bristol Temple Meads train station, before catching the bus to Bristol Airport the next day, and it was ideal. A couple of minutes walk from the train station and bus stop, the price was fantastic and included a buffet breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was comfortable with everything you need and an excellent shower in the bathroom. We arrived late in the day, but the bar did pizza and toasted sandwiches. Would thoroughly recommend.
