Great location, good hotel

Great location (right on water, centre of town, opposite harbourside), good breakfast/dinner/bar on-site. Building & common parts slightly tired - but more than made up for by overall package. Probably my favourite hotel in Bristol having stayed in most!

Disappointing

The major issue was we booked a Deluxe Room, Queen Bed primarily because it was an air-conditioned room – this was a deciding factor in booking the hotel as opposed to alternatives in the area. When checking in we were informed we had been upgraded to a King Bed room and dropped off our bag before heading out for the evening. On returning to our room however we discovered that it had a fan, but no air-conditioning – by this point it was quite late in the evening already so we made do, but we were very disappointed that having spent over £200 for an air-conditioned room we didn’t have this. Additionally, we noted the following other issues in the room: - Backlight on TV broken on lower half of the display giving a very dark image - Bathroom door lock broken - Cramped bathroom layout – the shower particularly was hard to get in and out of. I’ve seen better bathrooms in rooms costing less than £50 a night. We raised these issues on checking out and were given the managers email address. Thus far over a week later we have received no reply.

Was there for my sons graduation and stayed for two nights . Hotel , staff all fine except and might’ve been my fault was the size of the rooms . I’m 6-3 and had to crawl from the foot of the bed to get into it and luggage had to be placed under the dressing table. But in general a good stay and I would stay again

Properly run hotel

Very good properly run hotel - front desk staff who are friendly and helpful and know their stuff. Lovely architecture - if you like the sixties. Big comfortable room - no air-conditioning so got a bit hot but 5 stars other than that.
