Pros:

l'hotel est bien placé et le personnel est sympa

Cons:

tout est vieux, ça meriterait un bon rafraichissement, à commencer par les ascenseur. Quand il y en 1 sur 2 qui tout le temps en panne, on attend parfois des plombes.

Good hotel in a fabulous harbour-side location.
Pros:

Bed was very comfy and staff were very pleasant on arrival and departure. Good to have water provided in the room.

Cons:

Room's walls were paper thin and you could hear everything that was said next door! Decor was a bit tired.

Wish We’d Stayed Longer!
Pros:

Amazing staff - especially very helpful & friendly Receptionist who addressed me by name the following morning on check out. Lovely spacious room on top floor with harbour views: coffee maker, tea, biscuits etc. Nice bathroom & shower. Fabulous location. Car park £19 overnight with hotel discount (it’s Bristol!).

Cons:

Only one lift working so a bit of a wait sometimes.

Great hotel with easy parking in a central location.
Pros:

The check in process was smooth, car parking is easy, the deluxe twin room was comfortable. The breakfast options were excellent. The staff were all professional and friendly. The breakfast room staff were especially polite and helpful even when they were extremely busy. There was one staff person who was particularly warm and friendly - she was greeting and assigning guests to tables when they became free.

Cons:

It would have been perfect if there were more staff and tables during breakfast. The staff were obviously working extremely hard but it was very busy and guests had to queue for a table during the morning rush.

A curate's egg.
Pros:

The restaurant was good.

Cons:

Checking in took over two hours. A combination of chaos and incompetence.
The lighting throughout the hotel was abysmal. The room was poorly lit as was the restaurant and the lounge area. Reading, even the menu was extremely difficult.
The layout of the bedroom desk/mirror made putting on make extremely difficult.

A great choice for a short stay in the centre of Bristol
Pros:

A great choice for staying in the centre of Bristol. We were able to park in the adjacent car park. The staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were comfortable, quiet and well equipped. The breakfast was plentiful with a good choice of hot and cold dishes. By the time we had added car parking and breakfast to the basic room costs this was not the cheapest option in Bristol but it served us well for our one night stay.

Pros:

Nous avons aimé le style du.mobilier, de la déco.
Le petit déjeuner était excellent.

Cons:

Il n'y avait pas de porte bagage dans la chambre, pas de crochets pour suspendre les serviettes de toilette et les vêtements dans la salle de bain. Il n'y avait pas de plateau de thé ou de café dans la chambre.

Very poor, run down, noisy, uncomfortable
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Rooms are tired and dated. Windows lack sufficient noise insulation. Air conditioning is a stand alone unit next to your bed. It’s so loud you would never be able to sleep with it on. Some rooms have no temperature control at all. Overall the hotel is quite rundown and fails to meet the basic requirements of a hotel.
