Overall poor wouldn’t stay here again. Positives the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel and rooms are dated and not very comfortable. For the price I expected and could put up with that but there was no hot water. Even in a cheap hotel I expect to be able to have a shower!

room was clean . Bathroom, bath and basin very clean. Towel rail missing from wall. The basin tap hot and cold indicators are worn off and should be replaced with new ones costing a few pence. Wood chip wallpaper not very attractive but probably hides poor plasterwork. The mat/carpet at the entrance to the bar/dining area is GRIM. This should be replaced as soon as possible as it does not give a good impression of cleanliness. It is a popular pub and restaurant and I had a good overall stay.

Sad, attic room

Towels were good but hand towel had a hole in it. Staff were friendly. If you want to travel back in time to a shabby, doleful BnB but pay extra then stay here. Don’t stay in Winter, the window doesn’t close (or open for that matter). I expected more for the price.

The Channings

The location is good for Bristol, the hotel room was at the top of the building, very poor ventilation and although a fan was supplied, the room was very hot. Hotel room was very basic. We didn’t have the breakfast ,coffee was just a pot of filter coffee. The room seemed quite shabby, although was clean and the mattress comfortable.

Was Ok

Arrived and waited arou d 10-15 minutes for check in member of staff was looking to see where the lady was & unable to locate her. Was advised we were on the top floor....attic room was average size, very warm window opened slighly, view (brick wall) not great. Fan too small for room, tea/coffee etc supplied no option for cows milk or alternative. Shower was nice, water pressure was good. Was located right by the door on top floor so heard the door open everytime & people walking pass. Had food in restaurant was warm not hot.

Was reasonably priced for the area but still simple basics were missed and the top floor was far too hot. Two inches of window opening and a weak fan were not enough to prevent a terrible nights sleep.

This was a great location for us. It is only a 10 minute walk to the heart of downtown Bristol. We booked the family room. It offered plenty of space for my daughter and me. Around the corner is a GREAT sandwich shop called Sandwich Sandwiches. They close around 3pm so don't miss out on one of their freshly made masterpieces! 10 minutes away are lots of restaurant options for quick grab-and-go options. The hotel staff were awesome! I had a really long day of walking up and down hills and really needed an ice bath. The lady working the desk hooked me up and gave me a big bag of ice....very cool!
