Underwhelming

BigGordyMac 4/18/2024 TripAdvisor review

Car park is a disgrace. Rooms are pretty poor, the bathroom was poorly lit and not a lot of water pressure on the second floor.. Definitely not 4 stars as advertised. Convenient for the city centre but would advise you stay somewhere else.

Matt L. Solo - 4/16/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

Great stay. Very comfy well equipped room. Very friendly staff. Will stay again

We're thrilled you're planning to come back – it's the best compliment we could get! We hope that you will return on a future occasion. Best regards, Mahesh, General Manager

Avoid… especially room 407!

Lardie Business - 4/16/2024 TripAdvisor review

Room vile. Chipped bathroom fittings and walls. More like a hall of residence. Was allocated room 407. Ensure you don’t travel with a cat as you certainly could not swing it in the room! Car parking ok. Pizza in bar pretty average. Would not return or recommend The room was booked for me by a client.

average room, good location

Phil Business - 4/15/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

unfortunately the room I stayed in has been very old, a lot of usage marks in the bathroom, and very noisy during the night; also not much space to even open a suitcase

Hello Phil, Thanks for taking a moment to leave a review. It's great that you appreciated our prime location - we indeed love being right at the heart of Bristol. It sounds like the room didn't quite hit the mark for you, and we're sorry to hear that. We pride ourselves on the uniqueness of our historic building and we regret that the room felt dated to you. We do have a variety of room sizes available, and while space can be a premium in historic buildings like ours, we aim to ensure every guest has a comfortable stay. As for the noise, we understand the importance of a good night's rest and offer earplugs for lighter sleepers. Our team is constantly on hand to assist with any discomforts our guests might experience during their stay. We hope that you will return in the future for a more enjoyable stay. Cheers, Mahesh, General Manager

Cold. Over priced. Avoid

faysherree Friends getaway - 4/13/2024 TripAdvisor review

Cold. Over priced. Small. Room heated by small oil radiator. Made complaint. Was offered to relocated. Was advised it was also likely to be cold. Issues referred to an invisible twice. No one available. For £200+ a night hotel. This isnt even what I expect from a 50quid travel lodge.
