Pretty Regency hotel in the heart of Clifton Village.
Pros:

The Rodney Hotel is in a central location in Clifton Village and close to the Suspension Bridge. Also close to bus stops so you could leave your car at the hotel and travel in and out of the centre of Bristol very easily. We had a large room overlooking the garden. The pillows were very soft and comfortable. The staff were lovely, especially Maisie at Reception. They said treat the place like your own home so we wore our slippers at breakfast (very risque..). The Rodney was also brilliant value for money.

Cons:

The breakfasts could have been better organised. As we arrived around 8:30am, there was hardly anything left on the Continental section and nothing was replenished. I had no problem with my cooked breakfast, I chose Eggs Royale on two days, which were delicious. However my partner chose traditional cooked breakfasts which were overcooked and the bacon was like leather (his words, not mine). The final day he decided to try a small portion of Eggs Royale and his egg was still raw. He should have said something but he chose not to. It was such a shame as everything else was lovely. However, we both agreed we would like to go back as it was such a lovely hotel.

Ideal for an overnight stay in the area
Pros:

Friendly, helpful reception staff. Smart, if compact, room on second floor at the back overlooking garden, with opening window for fresh air. Comfy beds, soft duvets and pillows. Cosy bathroom with bathtub and large, soft towels. Range of teas and cafetiere coffee. Convenient parking.

Cons:

Nothing significant.

Great area, great time
Pros:

Fabulous little Hotel in an old Clifton townhouse. The staff were all extremely helpful. Great location and on a bus route which is convinient (number 8 from Temple Meads). Bed super comfortable.

Cons:

Heating on a timer.
There was a plug in heater but it kept blowing cold then hot air.
The double room was much smaller than expected, for 7 days stay claustrophobic.
