Average hotel but good location
When we arrived the stair case was in desperate need of hoovering. Double sockets on wall on bedroom were too low to get plugs in and were loose. The bath taps were reverse; cold tap hot and hot tap cold.

Nice hotel, needs a little updating
Very friendly and helpful staff, easy check in and nice breakfast. Managed to get a space in the hotel car park and paid extra to leave there for the following day at reasonable rates. Very handy location for Bristol Uni and the city centre.
The room could have done with a little updating, the bathroom was very dated and the radiator control had broken off so couldn't be turned down. The power sockets next to the kettle were too low down to allow the kettle to be plugged in because of the moulded plug so had to use a socket by the bed, and the TV remote didn't work. All minor things really but a little frustrating.

I always like staying here. The room prices are good, the area is quiet and the staff are friendly. However, the hotel is falling apart in places with maintenance badly needed in the rooms.

Horrible stay
Horrible Horrible stay. Customer service very horrible, no smiles on their faces, except for one of the receptionist (girl) who works in the morning. She was nice. The night receptionist (male) (Asian) was horrible, very disrespectful and arrogant. And he wasn’t ready to solve any customers needs. Fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night, two nights in a role The rooms were really small, breakfast is partially a buffet and the served part of the breakfast takes more than 30mins to come. The some part of the rooms are dirty and dusty.

A good stay
Nice room, excellent value for money, clean, modern, good size, tea/coffee/biscuits/fruit in room. Was a little cold that day and raidiator in room wasnt working but wasn't too cold to necessitate me asking reception. Breakfast was amazing. Generally a very good stay.
