Excellent
Pros:

A beautiful, stylish and very comfortable hotel in a great location. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The common areas are beautifully decorated - looked like something from an interiors magazine. We had one of the smallest rooms but it was still a good size and very comfortable, with thoughtful extras like robes, slippers etc.. The breakfast choices were ample and the food was really excellent. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

Bathroom was a bit basic and would have preferred a handheld shower.
While the food at breakfast was exceptional, the coffee was not good.

Lovely boutique hotel in a great area, close to the Clifton Observatory
Pros:

The room we stayed in had a lovely view over the park with two comfortable chairs and a table in the bay window. The bed was comfortable and there were slippers, robes and macarons provided to have with a cup of tea. The breakfast areas are very nice and the food was excellent.

Cons:

The bathroom was small, but it wasn’t an issue

Excellent short break Bristol
Pros:

Location, cleanliness, good sized room and excellent sized bathroom and shower.
Very comfortable bed and excellent options for breakfast.
It was a very quiet area, a few nice close pubs walking distance if you like that type of thing. Excellent helpful staff.
No significant noise from neighbouring rooms.
11am check-out and reasonable and flexible extended checkout options, which was helpful in our case. A fairly inexpensive taxi ride from the centre of Bristol.
Very appealing open parkland down immediately across the road.
Location was the principal reason overall in our case because of proximity to friends living in the area.
The photos of the premises reflected the realty of the rooms and common areas.

Cons:

The room was a little over heated at first but was able to be cooled down by opening a window.
The hotel renovation was perhaps not very recent but the cleanliness and condition of the property and facilities was very good.
