Absolute hole, spent too much for a room smaller than a prison cell! Loud as all the clubs that surround it because the place is in the middle of every club and bar so all i heard was garbage trucks, loud music, bottle bins and drunkards. Do yourself a favour and bring a cardboard box with you, itll be better than staying at this 5 floor .... stacked hotel

A very warm welcome. The room was very nice, bathroom tiny but adequate. The plug sockets on the dressing table desk area are not placed well, too low to the surface so drying my hair with my Dyson wrap was awkward. The room was much too dark. Why are there never enough lights in hotel bedrooms? It was still good overall, just niggles commented on.

Property is located in a noisy area of Bristol. Avoid rooms overlooking Prince Street. Restaurants are overpriced - look elsewhere for meal alternatives. Room layout is adequate but the bathrooms are small and poorly designed.

Great stay as always. The small double rooms are pretty tiny if there were two people in there, but still ok. I would upgrade to a larger room.
