The hotel is distinctive with it’s red entrance, lots of information on Bristol It’s got a-lot of character, wonderful staff. The softest cosiest bed I’ve slept in being an Georgian building with such it can do with some maintenance. Breakfast is complimentary with a good selection.

a pleasant stay in Bristol

nice, friendly welcome from the woman on reception. I had my single room upgraded to a larger room too which was nice. plenty of tea and coffee in the room along with some biscuits and some fresh fruit. didn’t have time for the cooked breakfast in the morning as i had a train to catch but they arranged for me to have a bacon and egg sandwich to take away with me which was tasty. would definitely stay here again when i next come to Bristol

Wonderful staff, rooms in poor condition.

Staff were very welcoming and professional. The building is old and that is reflected in it's condition. The window in our room rattled which added to our poor night's sleep. We could hear everything going on in the reception area. The bathroom was a joke. Knees nearly touched the wall when seated on the toilet and when flushing the toilet a pump could be heard for an extended period of time. Not a great experience especially for the price.

Don't be fooled by the quaint exterior. I rejected the first room I was given and the second was not much better. Both rooms needed to be completely refurbished.The beds were awful.Touching the lamp made all the lights go out. There was barely enough space to open a suitcase.

Breakfast was a disaster….a staff member made inappropriate comments about other people in my party. Only a few items for my breakfast order arrived and my friends breakfast was not served at all. When I asked where the rest of the breakfast was she said there is nothing available as the chef had left for her next job!

Good location but expensive for a three star hotel

Breakfast was average with some items missing from the English breakfast - on both days we were there. The toast making facilities were very bad. The room was average with one of the beds nearly blocking the bathroom door. There was no extractor fan in the bathroom.

Our 2 night stay at the Washington was lovely we were there for the Gromet Trail 3, the room was clean and well presented the staff friendly and helpful, the breakfast was nice. It is a short walk to Clifton village with bars and shops also close the bus routes, The only thing the car park was small.

Functional, no frills, & perhaps a little tired, but friendly staff & clean bedroom were the important things. The shared bathroom kind of worked, although it could have done with a little more attention in the cleaning. On the whole an ok stay, I’d certainly use again
