Overall poor wouldn’t stay here again.
Positives the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The hotel and rooms are dated and not very comfortable. For the price I expected and could put up with that but there was no hot water. Even in a cheap hotel I expect to be able to have a shower!
The staff were really nice the bedding and towels were very clean but the room was very dated and old and it was very hot with limited ventilation and low ceilings
Towels were good but hand towel had a hole in it. Staff were friendly. If you want to travel back in time to a shabby, doleful BnB but pay extra then stay here. Don’t stay in Winter, the window doesn’t close (or open for that matter). I expected more for the price.

The Channings
The location is good for Bristol, the hotel room was at the top of the building, very poor ventilation and although a fan was supplied, the room was very hot. Hotel room was very basic. We didn’t have the breakfast ,coffee was just a pot of filter coffee. The room seemed quite shabby, although was clean and the mattress comfortable.
We stayed at Channings because it was convenient to visit family in Clifton. Rooms were fine for our needs, wifi was good enough for work-related video calls, continental breakfast was good. Staff were helpful. Since the rooms are above a bar, we were not surprised by typical noise from downstairs, and it did not affect our ability to rest and sleep.
room was clean . Bathroom, bath and basin very clean.
Towel rail missing from wall. The basin tap hot and cold indicators are worn off and should be replaced with new ones costing a few pence.
Wood chip wallpaper not very attractive but probably hides poor plasterwork.
The mat/carpet at the entrance to the bar/dining area is GRIM. This should be replaced as soon as possible as it does not give a good impression of cleanliness.
It is a popular pub and restaurant and I had a good overall stay.
This was a great location for us. It is only a 10 minute walk to the heart of downtown Bristol. We booked the family room. It offered plenty of space for my daughter and me. Around the corner is a GREAT sandwich shop called Sandwich Sandwiches. They close around 3pm so don't miss out on one of their freshly made masterpieces! 10 minutes away are lots of restaurant options for quick grab-and-go options. The hotel staff were awesome! I had a really long day of walking up and down hills and really needed an ice bath. The lady working the desk hooked me up and gave me a big bag of ice....very cool!
Needed to be near Clifton and City centre so this ticked both boxes. The hotel/pub was comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities in the room which was replenished daily .Check in/out was easy and the staff were friendly and efficient. I was able to walk to Clifton village and Bristol city centre..As a female solo traveller I felt safe and would definitely use again
Arrived and waited arou d 10-15 minutes for check in member of staff was looking to see where the lady was & unable to locate her. Was advised we were on the top floor....attic room was average size, very warm window opened slighly, view (brick wall) not great. Fan too small for room, tea/coffee etc supplied no option for cows milk or alternative. Shower was nice, water pressure was good. Was located right by the door on top floor so heard the door open everytime & people walking pass. Had food in restaurant was warm not hot.

We stayed here as 2 families: 3 adults and 4 children.
The family rooms were spacious and equipped with comfortable beds.
The breakfast was excellent value and very tasty.
The building itself needs a little TLC, but that didn’t lessen our experience.
All of the staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly. They helped us with looking after our bags and transport queries. They were even patient with our excited children.
The location is nice and quiet. It is in a pub so there’s bound to be some noise at closing time, but that’s to be expected.
There are several buses available nearby and it’s only a short walk to the suspension bridge & play park.
We would definitely stay here again.
This was the 2nd time we had stayed at Channings, it suited our needs perfectly as family live close by.My criticism is with regard to the general state of the decor in our room,(22). It was tired and in parts rather shabby. I am certain that there is a programme for renovation but I believe there needs to be a sense of urgency with this.
Our room was cleaned well and the water fabulously hot, for which I thank you.Reception staff were friendly and helpful.

Comfortable but dated
The hotel is ok but needs a lot of TLC. It is functional but certainly don’t book if you are looking for a spacious room with a modern feel. The room we had was small and outdated with a double bed that was comfortable. We did use the restaurant downstairs for dinner, which was reasonably priced and food was good. Breakfast was your normal continental or cooked breakfast and again it was ok. Parking in the area is a nightmare and the hotel does not have any or even one space where you can off load your bags. We ended up parking about a 10 minute walk away.
Absolutely NOT worth for the price I paid.
In my room the heating didn't work so I asked for the room to be changed (which thankfully they did)
The room furniture was badly chipped as well as the bath tube.an extremely old TV : no way I could connect an amazon firestick.
I was the only costumer sitting for breakfast and I had to wait more than 20 minutes to make my order.
I kindly asked the receptionist to send me an invoice via email which she never did.
Quality of the food served not bad.
Lovely staff at hotel and bar and restaurant . We loved the food and the stay. The staff could not do enough for you! So lovely and polite and helpful. Would definitely stay again.
