Our second stay. Special location. Fantastic quality hotel. Clifden is a great area. As we had our dog with us we asked for a room at end of corridor so our dog would not react to passing noise. The room we were given was excellent. We will be back!

Hotel is situated in the lovely Clifton area of the city and its difficult to imagine better scenery at breakfast each morning or for a night cap in the bar than over looking the nearby suspension bridge. Parking can be difficult but 'free' on receipt of a permit from the Hotel at arrival. Bristol centre is approx 30 min walk from the Hotel. The 'cozy double' room we opted for was small to be honest but well kept.

An absolutely fabulous hotel. The room was a good size, very clean and very comfortable. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. Great areas for relaxing and a wonderful outside terrace with a superb view of Clifton suspension bridge. Our first time to Clifton/Bristol but we will definitely be coming back and staying at this great hotel.

It's the driving time that we've stayed here while returning our son to Bristol, too far for us to do both ways in one day. We really appreciate the location, comfortable beds and general luxury feel of the hotel. Staff are always helpful. I also appreciate that we can use Tesco clubcard rewards towards our stay and think I have got the hang of that aspect now.

Amazing views and although an old hotel, the amenities were amazing. It had a very nice bar and Bistrot. The only issue I had was parking was very difficult.

Terrible hotel
This is the first time I have ever written a bad review of a hotel (and I travel all the time for work - so it must be really bad!). There were many things wrong with our stay, but I'll mention a few. The hotel seems to have a policy of ripping off its clients. We ate in the restaurant on two evenings and both times they tried to charge us a significant amount too much. When we checked out we were due a £15 refund, but they actually took £15 from my bank account instead. We tried to sort it out by phone, after we discovered what they had done, but the duty manager (Michele) was very rude and unhelpful and never called back despite promises by his (much friendlier) staff. We gave up in the end. It's a very dark and dingy hotel, with little natural light. We paid extra for a view of Avon Gorge and, admittedly, we could see the tops of the trees on the far side of the gorge out of the small window, but most of the view was of a horrible roof. And, finally, the hotel claims it has parking - which it does for a handful of cars - but most of its clients have to park on the street (and it's not easy to find a space anywhere near the hotel much of the time). We definitely will never stay there again.

Stunning views.
Lovely hotel, and the view from the terrace is just breathtaking. Our room was dark and the lighting was very poor. Staff were very polite and efficient. The bed was comfortable, pillows not so much. I'm wondering why the underfloor heating in the bathroom was on? Also, the heated towel rail was very hot. Both really not needed in August. Our dinner was lovely, the only fault was the steak was VERY salty. Try the Clifton Puff, it's delicious. Parking can be an issue, but that's to be expected in Clifton. We will definitely be returning. I think the £315 per night was a little pricey, but it did include dinner.

Just had one night stay with work. Great location and great view from the terrace overlooking the gorge and Clifton suspension bridge just a 3-4min walk away. However the attached bar and restaurant to the hotel I thought was overpriced for what was being offered. I had one pint, steak & chips and a side and it was over £60. The room itself was very nice, clean and comfortable. Parking is an extra payment of £12 which I hadn’t noticed on the Expedia app as well.
