Blissful.
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful, spacious room with a fantastic view of the bridge. Worth every penny. And the location is unsurpassed. Because we had a room facing the Avon Gorge, there was zero noise from outside. Incredibly comfortable bed. Lovely, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Cons:

Nothing. Couldn't improve on anything.

Not great. Trading on the view.
Pros:

Nice reception experience and stylish lobby. We had put a bid in for an upgrade and got one so we’re looking forward to a nice view of the bridge. First impressions of the room were disappointing. The decor is gloomy and dark, lighting dim, the furniture is cheap and the curtains thin and cheap looking and I was wondering if we had indeed been given the upgrade room. The windows were so thick with dirt that you couldn't see out of them and the inner, secondary glazing was also very dirty and stained. it was clear that these had not been cleaned for some considerable time. The bathroom is very nice with a lovely shower but the lighting was dim. Appreciated the lit up magnifying mirror and the L'Occitane toiletries. Toilet seat was loose and we mentioned it to reception but nothing was done over the two night stay there. Housekeeping made the bed but oddly left one head pillow and the scatter cushion on the floor by the bed where I had left them. We mentioned the dirty widows at reception as we could not see the view as promised. they offered to move us but we had already packed so I requested a refund of the upgrade amount which was given without quibble(I see we are not alone in mentioning the window issue). Did not eat at the hotel but bar staff very pleasant and professional. Would not stay again but thoroughly enjoyed Bristol and the hotel is in a nice location with access to some great eateries.
