Great location - perfect for town centre, harbour and the theatres and concert venues
Pros:

Staff are very friendly and helpful. The day before, I received a courtesy phone call from the hotel telling me that on my day of arraival there was a half marathon taking place in Bristol which may lead to road closures until the afternoon - this was rally helpful and much appreciated as if we hadn't been told about this, it may have caused problems getting into Bristol.

Incredible hotel, do give it a try!
Pros:

The property was beautiful, in the centre of Bristol. Staff were attentive, and upgraded us to a deluxe room. The spa facilities were incredible!

Cons:

My only faults was some dirty marks on the window netting and mould on the fireplace, but as reflected in my rating we found this extremely minor.

Great Hotel in The Old City
Pros:

Stayed at The Harbour for two nights and loved it. It’s in a great spot in the old city, with loads of bars and restaurants nearby, and everything felt completely walkable — lively, but never busy or too loud. The hotel itself feels really unique (in the best way) and everything was absolutely spotless — genuinely one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed. Our rooms were lovely too: comfortable, well finished, and a really nice space to come back to after exploring.
The spa is gorgeous, and I booked a deep tissue back massage with Martha who was fabulous — friendly, professional, and made the whole experience feel like a proper treat.
We also ate in the restaurant and it was fab — great lunch, lovely cocktails, and a brilliant breakfast before we checked out. I was particularly impressed with the breakfast options: excellent cooked items as well as a really good continental buffet.
All in all, it felt like a special little stay and I’d happily return — especially if you’re after somewhere stylish, relaxing, and impeccably kept.

Overpriced & underwhelming
Pros:

The bed was incredibly comfortable.

Cons:

The location is horrible. The noise outside was horrendous, all night hearing thinking music, loud people shouting, bottle bins being emptied, and then at 5am, the street cleaners came.
