I thought other reviewers were perhaps just being a bit negative based on reviews I read and I went with an open mind, but I have to be honest and say I would not stay there again. It is not a very friendly or welcoming hotel. The foyer is beautiful, but the staff are the heart of a place and it just did not have a friendly or welcoming feel. The room was fine, but not worth the money it cost to stay. The walls are thin, you so will hear other guests. Great location, just a shame it doesn't have a nice feel to the place.

Great staff, parking beware.
Staff were awesome, very friendly and helpful, nothing but praise and thanks for them. Car park is a challenge in anything bigger than a small hatchback. I have a medium sized SUV with a fairly decent turning circle, no struggles but many multiple point turns and fretting about scrapes, picked my spot based on likelihood of getting a bump from another car.

The person who checked us in lacks customer service. Don’t expect someone who is over enthusiastic but a bit better personality would help. I don’t understand why they take the card to pre authorise the check in payment and when when you check out they take the card again. Surely if a card is pre authorised it just takes the payment. This is how it worked in all other hotels I have stayed at On leaving we were giving a validated car park ticket which was great but it didn’t work. And when I went back to ask about it the aptitude of the staff member was why am I asking this. The hotel itself is lovely; the room was stunning with coffee tea amenities supplied; the bathroom spacious although surprised that the shower itself has no shampoo or shower gel supplies which you would expect to see in a hotel of this standard. We didn’t use the bar area so can’t comment but the general cleanliness of the hotel was lovely and it’s situated in a perfect location for access to the main shopping area and night life.

Unfortunately an awful experience
Really bad experience. Long queue at check in. Suite was very dated, no working heating and extremely loud due to an organised party going on directly below (until 1am). Asked to change rooms and was told they were full (which wasn’t true as I did get a different room when I spoke to the manager), lady on reception was extremely rude and told me that the party is going on because they have to make money, she also took a personal call and went to the back room to scream loudly at what I assume was a family member. Was moved from the suite to a superior room (which was actually nicer than the suite). Location is good, but seriously awful service.

Perfectly decent option for Bristol centre
I was a little perturbed but some of the recent reviews, but I had a perfectly good experience. My room was spacious and well equipped. Hotel parking was fine, if a little pricey for an overnight stay.

During storm Darragh - freezing cold weather & gale force wind, I paid over £200 for a room with zero heat. Broken thermostat, a tiny radiator (that was pointless), and a super thin summer duvet. I called front desk around 6 times with no answer. I had to go down and see the front desk to ask for blankets and heat which were provided about an hour later. Even with these additions and being fully dressed (with socks on), I was absolutely freezing in bed. I’ve subsequently developed a bad cold. In addition, the room smelled bad, had stains all over the carpet and a dirty bath. Hotel staff advised me to claim a refund via Expedia who I booked the room through. I’ve contacted Expedia (over an hour in phone calls so far plus several emails), only for the hotel to delay their authorisation of my full refund. Update - after my third call to Expedia, the hotel are now refusing to refund the room even partially due to their “no refund policy - no exceptions”. How lovely. So you can pay over £200 for a freezing cold and dirty room and they are happy to take your money for it. Nice. It’s a good job I’m not elderly or immunocompromised, as that room would have finished me off otherwise. I have photos of the carpet/bath/ thermostat/radiator but no one seems bothered in seeing them. Who cares eh, “no exceptions”. I did enjoy breakfast which I paid an additional £17.95 for. I needed something substantial after the night of borderline hypothermia. Can someone please issue my refund.

The location is central but my room was very small and cold. The air conditioning unit didn’t heat up and the hotel had provided a small electric heater which gave off little heat. The carpets were worn and it was tatty No blankets to add an extra layer onto the bed. No mattress protector. Dialled front desk to enquire about heating but no response. I slept with pillows over the duvet to give an extra layer. In the morning the hairdryer stopped working half way through drying hair. Again no response from the front desk Definitely didn’t feel like good value for £175 a night without breakfast.

There was nothing I didn't like, in fact the staff went above and beyond when they discovered it was my wedding anniversary! The location is very convenient for the street markets and great food. Convenient parking in a secured adjacent multi-storey located through a ticketed barrier to the left of the frontage.

Good location, good bathroom, but access with a vehicle for drop off/pick is horrendous (nothing like the photo provided as the road space in front of the hotel is owned by the Council and wardens pass by every 10 minutes), also floorboards creak like crazy and walls are poorly insulated. You can get better value elsewhere.
