Guest Ratings & Reviews
I found the hotel to be very centrally located, making it easy to access various neighborhoods on foot. The customer service was exceptional, especially from the staff member I interacted with. However, the lack of good customer service overall was a downside. The dining options were extraordinary but were not reflected in the price, which was a bit high.
The hotel had a pretty warm temperature with lovely decor, making it a nice touch. The rooms had a large bed and great space to hang clothes. However, the customer service really needs improvement. The location was near everything but facing a pub with loud music. The dining was not included, which was a downside. Overall, a decent stay with a few drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were satisfactory, but the service definitely needs improvement. The location is convenient, but the noisy surroundings were a downside. The dining options were decent, and the facilities were adequate.
The hotel offers rooms with tough temperature control, terraces for smokers, and only one small dusty fan; unfortunately, the heating was off. The service was lacking customer care, though the housekeeping was diligent. The location is near a pub with loud music but close to Bristol's center. Dining was included and tasty, with good-quality ingredients. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated with lovely touches and had the most comfortable beds. Despite the lack of heating, the decor added a nice touch. The service was outstanding, with excellent customer service provided by the staff, particularly the housekeeping team. The location was near to everything, opposite an interesting market and perfect for visiting St Nicholas Market. The dining experience was delightful, offering the best poached eggs I have ever had and a good variety of hot and cold options. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a pleasant stay.
The hotel is nestled right in the characterful St Nicholas market area, allowing easy access to various neighborhoods. The cozy rooms provide a very comfortable stay, yet the lack of storage space can be inconvenient. The excellent customer service adds to the overall pleasant experience, although some staff members need to enhance their customer service skills. The diverse dining options, including healthy choices and hot pot dishes, make dining a delightful experience. Facilities are modern with good quality ingredients but could benefit from additional storage solutions. The value for money is reasonable given the prime location and amenities.
I couldn't beat the great location of this hotel, right in the old center of Bristol near the river and close to the characterful St Nicholas market area. The rooms were cozy and clean with a comfortable bed, although I wish there was more than just one small dusty fan to cool down. Customer service needs improvement, but the housekeeping was excellent. The dining experience offered good quality ingredients, though I was disappointed that it wasn't included in the price.
