Außen top - innen na ja…
Pros:

Die Lage in Clifton ist top und man ist in 30 Minuten Spaziergang im Zentrum. Von außen sieht das Hotel toll aus, auch die Bar und der Biergarten haben uns gut gefallen. Das Personal war freundlich und wir konnten unsere Rucksäcke nach dem CheckOut noch im Hotel stehen lassen.

Cons:

Das Zimmer ging gar nicht: alt, muffige Luft, die Fenster im Zimmer und im Bad total dreckig, das Dachfenster im Bad lässt sich nicht öffnen. Spinnweben an der Decke, Risse in der Tapete, tropfender Wasserhahn etc.

Pros:

A szállás elhelyezkedése fantasztikus volt, az egész környék nagyon csendes volt. A 8-as busszal a belváros és Temple Meads is rövid időn belül elérhető volt, a Clifton függőhíd pedig kb. 15 perc sétára van. A szobánk nagy és tiszta volt, ill. tudták biztosítani az igényünket, hogy két külön ágyban szeretnénk aludni, ennek nagyon örültünk. A bőröndjeinket a szállodában hagyhattuk check out után.

Cons:

A szobánkban rettenetesen meleg volt, amelyen csak egy kis asztali ventillátorral tudtunk "enyhíteni". Az ablakokat kb. csak egy 20 centis résre lehet kinyitni, emiatt szellőztetni sem lehetett hatékonyan, amely szintén nagyon kellemetlen volt a forró szobánkban. A felszereltség terén nagyon hiányoltunk egy kis hűtőszekrényt a szobából. A személyzetet egyáltalán nem találtuk udvariasnak, amely nagy csalódás volt (többször már mi éreztük magunkat zavaró tényezőknek, csak azért, mert megszálltunk).
Összességében amit kaptunk, ahhoz képest drágának találtuk a szállást.

Pros:

I feel very bad giving a bad rating to this property. The staff are very nice, The ground floor is a nice pub which had good coffee and food and very nice vibe. The property is a beautiful old house.

Cons:

We had two rooms, one of the rooms was all right, it was small but comfortable, The room on the top floor was spacious but it was horrible due to unbearable sewage smell, we had a very bad night and couldnot sleep at all due to this. The bathroom and toilet were clean but there may be a leak in the pipes or something it was very bad. I hope they fix it, it is resonably priced and good location . If you are booking, make sure its not on the tpp floor room

Everything was fine, good place to stay.
Pros:

Was close to everything, friendly staff, great local restaurant/pub in the garden.

Cons:

There was no space to put your stuff in the bathroom, no shelfs, only a small one under the mirror, no hangers to even hang your towels of put your clothes when you are showering/changing. Very creaky floors, but that’s the building itself.

Unfortunately disappointing
Pros:

Location is great to the Downs

Cons:

Old building, EXTREMELY ODOUROUS - to the point it woke me up in the middle of the night (old pipes? Either way smelled like sewage). Beds uncomfortable.

We stayed here last year for the festival, which was fine, and we will likely stay again owing to the proximity, however.... never in THAT room again (top floor).

Definitely will come back
Pros:

Spectacular building on the outside, conveniently linked to bar and restaurant, very good outside seating for hot day.
Every where was clean and staff very helpful, did not have to pay until arrival and good price

Cons:

Its not disliking its just it felt like the inside is tired and needs a freshen up decoration.

Street Parking issues through day time hours but as described and cannot be helped in location, not the fault of hotel its just a hotel car park would been a great bonus to the facility.
