Service was slow at check in, often answering the phone whilst dealing with customers in person. Poor selection of breakfast options- both cooked and continental.

Noisy

Unfortunately we had a room on the main road side, which was very hot and very noisy due to the single glazed windows, the fan provided was like a jet engine so too noisy to sleep with it on, the shower was hot and powerful and the beds were comfortable.

Convenient for Academy gigs

I never have big budgets for trips so wanted somewhere convenient and comfortable for taking my lad to a gig at the Academy. Found ok although wasn't obvious as we approached, and given details by the bar in the reception bar area. We were five or so floors up in the converted loft space and the lift was out of order, just opening and shutting on one of the other floors. Room was basic, no TV or kitchen area, and shared showers were down the corridor. My lad loved the trip eapecially taking takeaway back to our room after the show. Comfortable beds and would go back.

Excellent value for a sole traveller on the quayside in Bristol. Booked a 6 bed room but was given a 4 bed room. Excellent range of bars and restaurants nearby. Check out a bit early though at 10am , as Breakfast runs to 10 am also.
