This day was perfect for my 3-day conference. It's the late bar and late checkout is very comfortable to spend time in.

Great stay
We stayed just for one night after seeing a show at the Hippo Drome. Super friendly staff, lovely room and breakfast. One of the best night sleep I've had in a while

Great hotel for families and couples
Lovely welcome even though reception was really busy booking in a large party. Birthday gift was a great surprise and started weekend celebrations off perfectly. Everywhere in the hotel was really clean and well maintained. Breakfast isn't cheap but is good quality with a wide variety of food and excellent service. Parking is very convenient and they have improved security since our last stay. Would definitely recommend this hotel for couples and families as its location is perfect to access the best of Bristol's attractions.

Worst place to spend the night for the most amount of money. So well done on being the most extortionate hotel to exist. Terrible sarcastic service

Absolute hole, spent too much for a room smaller than a prison cell! Loud as all the clubs that surround it because the place is in the middle of every club and bar so all i heard was garbage trucks, loud music, bottle bins and drunkards.
Do yourself a favour and bring a cardboard box with you, itll be better than staying at this 5 floor .... stacked hotel

A very warm welcome. The room was very nice, bathroom tiny but adequate. The plug sockets on the dressing table desk area are not placed well, too low to the surface so drying my hair with my Dyson wrap was awkward. The room was much too dark. Why are there never enough lights in hotel bedrooms? It was still good overall, just niggles commented on.
