Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviews cite rooms being 'dirty' and one report of a missing necklace after housekeeping — cleanliness and room security are significant concerns.
Service
1
Service is mixed: some guests described staff as friendly and helpful, but there are notable failures (reservation/twin-room request not processed, poor handling of a reported theft). Score modestly positive to reflect inconsistency with some good interactions.
Location
1
Very consistently praised across reviews as an ideal/great location and listed as a primary pro; occasional street noise noted but overall location is a strong positive.
Room Quality
1
Several mentions of tired, uncomfortable rooms and issues such as insufficient towels and an unprocessed room-type request indicate below-average room quality.
Amenities
1
Facilities and parking are mentioned; parking has practical problems (height restriction, lack of notice) and towel shortages were reported, so amenities are slightly below expectations.
Value for Money
1
Multiple complaints about overpriced parking, food and drink indicate poor value for money.
Food and Beverage
1
Food and drink called 'over priced' by guests; no positive specifics about F&B quality, so scored negative for cost concerns.
Overall Experience
1
Overall impressions are mixed but skew negative due to very poor stays (dirty rooms, theft report) despite several pleasant/comfortable stays; net experience is slightly negative.

Cons:

The access to the car park was a total nightmare given road works in Bristol and changed taxi lanes.

Great value, very nice stay in a perfectly located hotel
Pros:

Beautiful building. Friendly and helpful staff. Very nice and spacious room. Perfect location in the city.

Cons:

There was a noisy group above us one night, but there's not much that could have been done about that. Management were able to provide earplugs and tried to get in touch with the partiers to turn it down.

Ok
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Requested twin room make up after speaking to reception on phone one month in advance, all agreed but they failed to process the request.
There is parking adjacent to the hotel but it had a height restriction and they didn’t advise us of that caused a big problem.
