Room was comfortable and warm. Staff were friendly and the addition of real coffee and fruit in the room was lovely. Obviously, the property is old and tired ( so am I) but the wallpaper and carpet not being pristine does not detract from the comfort. Will definitely stay again.
For the price point it is a good value stay.
Room was basic, but bed was comfy and bedding clean. Slightly wiffy smell from the sink, shared bathroom shower needs a scientific degree to get the temperature at Goldilocks level because a micro amount of movement on the control meant Artic cold or Molten Lava hot!
Breakfast was OK, but running out of sausages is a basic stock issue!
All staff were very polite, and having the 24 hr reception meant my key was safe.
I would stay again. 👍
Idea for somewhere to put your head down after a night in Bristol.
Good breakfast and very helpful staff.
Very cheap compared to other city centre hotels.
Great location, lovely linen and very comfortable beds. Thanks for a lovely last minute stay.

I like to stay at this property due to the proximity to the University's Victoria Rooms. The staff were great at all times. I only had continental breakfast which was satisfactory.
Staff were very friendly and it was well located and had parking (£12 extra). But the decor and quality of the room was pretty awful. The whole place needed a complete update. Taps in the bathroom were broken, grab rail in shower was rusty, shower head dirty and needed replacing, carpet threadbare, awful throws on the bed which were old and stained. Really the whole place needed improvements. Shame because the staff were lovely
The staff were really helpful and breakfast was good.
The hotel overall is tired and old fashioned. I stayed in 3 different rooms (another story) and all had different issues with them.
There certainly weren't any tablecloths on the breakfast tables like the picture at the start of this survey.
Helpful staff, clean and affordable, in particular since it included full English breakfast for two. Should be quie good for young people. Mais inconvence, in particular for the not so young is that there are no elevator and the second floor is quite a climb. Room also needed some updates to provide modern USB ports.

Compared to the OYO across the road, it’s a million times better!
Staff are great!
Room was spotless, nothing was to much trouble for the staff, breakfasts were very good with traditional and vegan options available, staff were kind and attentive. Excellent restaurant called Racks next door.
