Good stay but could have been better!
Pros:

Great location for visiting Bristol city centre with decent clean facilities.

Cons:

Breakfast was ok but not a lot of choice and quality of food not the best.
Even though the weather was exceptionally hot the AC unit struggled to cool the room.

Buen hotel, no lo recomendaría en verano / olas de calor
Cons:

Llegamos en plena ola de calor, la habitación sólo tenía un ventilador para combatir el calor, lo cual era completamente insuficiente

Very clean, comfy and friendly.
Pros:

The bed was so comfy and the room was very clean.

Cons:

The fact that there is limited spaces. I didn’t have to park that far away but walking with lots of stuff would have been easier from the hotel car park.

recomendable
Pros:

el baño es pequeño, pero usable. cama cómoda, ubicación excelente, zona tranquila al lado de la estación de tren, limpio y práctico. La verdad es que estuvimos muy cómodos pese a la medida de la habitación y sobretodo destacar el aislamiento acústico con el exterior, perfecto.

Cons:

solo la primera noche, la limpieza se hizo notar por el pasillo a las 7:30 con el abrir y cerrar de puertas, pero solo fue la primera noche, por lo que sería algo puntual.

Breakfast Yummy
Pros:

What an experience from the beginning to the end especially if you are a member as well. Good check-in and check out experiences, the room is OK but the main difference for me is the location and breakfast.
The hotel is less than 10 minutes from Bristol Temple Meads station and is about 10 minutes walk into Bristol town centre.
The cooked breakfast is top class especially the bacon, sausages and hash browns. Loved it.

Half portion of Fish and Chips - NOT Happy
Pros:

The room was as described, bed was confortable.

Cons:

We had dinner at the restaurant of the hotel; the Fish and chips £ 20 was half a portion of fish with chips, sauces and a slice of white bread loaf covering by itself the empty space on the plate.
Very disappointed by the size of the fish itself. We will NOT be coming back.

Chaos at breakfast
Pros:

Everything was very good except the organisation part and the service at breakfast. We travelled with a coach tour and stayed there for 3 nights and it was the same each morning,The jam finished during breakfast the first morning and when I asked for more the waitress said they didn’t have any more so I complained in reception and the receptionist said she would pass the message to the head chef, so I let it go and hoped that I could have jam with my croissant the following morning but I didn’t or on the third morning! Also you had to ask for bowls , plates and cutlery if there weren’t any to be seen- surely the staff should see that they were running low and replace them🤷‍♀️The same was for croissants, bread and milk in the tea/ coffee machine!
By the third morning the soft butter in the small packages had finished so there was only a plate with a big block for everyone to help themselves to! Also when I asked for a fried egg I was told that it was made to order so whilst waiting for it my food had gone cold andI gave up on the third mornin g because there was no one behind the counter for me to order it.
Yes I know mornings can be busy but they knew that a coach had booked for 3 nights . It wasn’t entirely the staff’s fault I don’t think that they hadn’t been trained properly.
