Woefully grim!

Very poor for a Green King. Property surrounded by resident permit bays only, which was not mentioned when booking, only no on site parking. Room was awful and grubby, in desperate need of updating (see photos) I would be embarrassed to have any family stay in this family room, it was that bad we almost left but decided to go out all evening and only reluctantly sleep there. Had i known the state of the place I would have stayed well clear. I have stayed at Green King places before and been generally happy, but this was a awful room. The busy pub downstairs was freindly and ok. Would not stay again and probably steer clear of Green Kings in future now. Cant add photos , but trust me it was very sub standard.

Good value room above a pub conveniently located

We stayed at Channings because it was convenient to visit family in Clifton. Rooms were fine for our needs, wifi was good enough for work-related video calls, continental breakfast was good. Staff were helpful. Since the rooms are above a bar, we were not surprised by typical noise from downstairs, and it did not affect our ability to rest and sleep.

Absolutely NOT worth for the price I paid. In my room the heating didn't work so I asked for the room to be changed (which thankfully they did) The room furniture was badly chipped as well as the bath tube.an extremely old TV : no way I could connect an amazon firestick. I was the only costumer sitting for breakfast and I had to wait more than 20 minutes to make my order. I kindly asked the receptionist to send me an invoice via email which she never did. Quality of the food served not bad.

Comfortable but dated

The hotel is ok but needs a lot of TLC. It is functional but certainly don’t book if you are looking for a spacious room with a modern feel. The room we had was small and outdated with a double bed that was comfortable. We did use the restaurant downstairs for dinner, which was reasonably priced and food was good. Breakfast was your normal continental or cooked breakfast and again it was ok. Parking in the area is a nightmare and the hotel does not have any or even one space where you can off load your bags. We ended up parking about a 10 minute walk away.

We chose a family room because we needed two beds but the condition of the room was terrible. The state of decoration was terrible and the luggage rack was non useable because it was hanging off the wall. There was no toilet roll holder, just the bracket on the wall, so the toilet roll was on the floor. Senior management of Greene King should try staying in their hotels and ask themselves if they would personally pay £135 to stay in that room.
