Pros:

Great clean, comfy rooms tucked away at the top of the pub. Nothing fancy, but the bed was comfy, the room was clean, and the shower was hot. Nothing to complain about

Cons:

Decor is a little dated but it's still outstanding value for money, and if they renovated it would just inflate the prices. It's perfect as it is

An enjoyable stay in a great location.
Pros:

Lovely staff. Great breakfast. The building itself is very beautiful. Our room was spacious and on the top floor, so was quiet. The room decor is a little tired, but the overall ambience is great and we would certainly stay again. The hotel is in a lovely location in Clifton, a beautiful part of Bristol, within an easy walk of the Clifton suspension bridge and many cafes/ restaurants. This hotel is reasonably priced for Bristol, and its location in Clifton.

Cons:

We were very happy with our experience. It's worth noting that the hotel also has a thriving pub on the basement and ground floors, so ask for a top floor room if you like quiet, as the first floor might be a little noisy on busy nights. There is no lift, so might be tricky for those with reduced mobility.
