Another great stay here, main thing I like about this hotel is the staff who are always friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is also pretty decent and rooms are a fair size.
Love this hotel, the smell as you walk through the entrance, the polite, presentable, friendly and efficient staff. The cleanliness and facilities in the rooms and rest of the hotel are very good.
I would stay at this hotel every time I visit Bristol cost allowing
Excellent break in this wonderful hotel. Staff were very attentive. Spent a lovely couple of hours in the bar, James was excellent ensuring we were looked after. All in all a great stay.
Friendly staff and quick check in, with an upgrade given. Breakfast was also decente and the room and experience overall was good. It’s a decent location as well right on the waterfront.
Great location. Staff were friendly.
However the room smelt too much of detergent and because of the location it was quite noisy from the nearby bars until the early hours of Sunday morning
Great location right in Harbourside. The hotel is clean and staff are helpful. This wasn't our first stay here and it's looking a little tired in some places.
