Nice little room, ideal for a short stay. Comfy bed & well appointed bathroom.
Faces a busy road, so some traffic noise, but convenient for Clifton village area & buses into & out of city centre.
Lovely hotel in a good location near most things in Bristol. Room is comfortable, a little small, but fine for a couple of nights. Staff were lovely and friendly.
Comfy bed. Amazing staff. Great location. Recommended.

A lovely hotel with very helpful staff. The only downside is noise from a cellar wine bar. I was fortunately able to change room. However, ground floor rooms can be disturbed by noisy parties.
From the moment you arrive you are made to feel welcome. Reception staff and check in excellent. The room was lovely. Very clean and with good coffee etc. I will definitely make this my first choice in Bristol.
Everything was fine as expected. However, the double bed was rather small. I'm sure i've not experienced one like it in the past twenty years.
The staff were great and very helpful.
Chloe and Flo’s welcome on the front desk was the best way to start a day for a cranky overtired traveller such as myself. The guys serving the breakfast were equally friendly and spritely. They have the best staff and the hotel location and setting are gggGGGREAT!
Staff were very friendly and helpful; breakfast was good and the cafetière in the room was a bonus. We’ll definitely stay again as great value for money when visiting our children at uni in Bristol.
Fantastic weekend stay at the Clifton Hotel. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I stayed in room 50 and it was the comfiest hotel bed I have ever slept in.
Very convenient for exploring Clifton and the surrounding areas.
Rooms was very close together lots of noise from bar downstairs but stopped around 11. The food was amazing in the restaurant and staff was very helpful
Everyone at reception was helpful and friendly. Great central location.
There was a heatwave and despite being provided a fan the room was extremely hot. Not much the hotel can do about it but might be worth considering a newer hotel with air con instead if travelling during heat waves.
