An excellent service, stayed in room 403, smooth check in, scan and pay for car parking, £5 for 24hrs, was offered a late checkout on signing up for the IHG membership, room was very clean, lovely view over a large green, beds very comfortable, bathroom was a good size, good quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, fridge in room with still and sparkling water, Dolce gusto machine and espresso pods in room as well as the usual tea, coffee sachets, biscuits, chocolate bars and crisps. Hairdryer, iron and ironing board in little cupboard, TV was huge but despite best efforts couldn't get it to work, a minor issue. Staff a credit to the hotel, ate an evening meal, very tasty and reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Stayed here in October and November and it's a pleasure to see the hotel has been updated and the rooms are fresh and modern. Reception staff are professional and friendly and checkin was a breeze . Only issues I experienced on both of my stays relate to the heating this appears to turn itself off after a set period which unfortunately means in the morning you wake to a cold room , This happened during both stays in different rooms on different levels , I understand energy saving but the coldest months are coming and waking to a cold room isn't great . The pillows are also not the thickest and for me they could do with improvement they feel like they've bought a value range of pillows . The food within the restaurant and bar is the normal Hotel fair but I found the portions to be large and the food well prepared and tasty . When I need to stay in Bristol again I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again apart from the heating the hotel is perfectly adequate for a few nights stay in a clean and fresh hotel

“Not bad, but a bit more attention to detail would make it much better”

The hotel has been recently refurbished in many areas, and the room was therefore very clean and fresh, with excellent blackout curtains for a good night’s sleep.

The hotel has been recently refurbished in many areas, and the room was therefore very clean and fresh, with excellent blackout curtains for a good night’s sleep. Huge wall-mounted TV, but a shame that for some reason it switched on by itself in the middle of the night (and whilst it was a good quality smart TV, it hadn’t been properly set up, so the available BBC iPlayer app hadn’t been installed - which is a technical oversight I think). The bathroom was a good size, but the shower pressure was fairly weak. The long corridor from reception to the bedroom block at the rear could do with some interior design treatment - as it stands, with its stark white walls, no artwork, and clinically harsh lighting, it felt like a hospital corridor! Hopefully this will be improved as the refurbishment continues. Breakfast was fine, with a reasonable continental selection, but undercooked bacon and very greasy fried eggs. Nice to see teapots available for the self-service hot drinks. The orange juice was really poor quality (more like highly diluted orange squash, actually). The £5 charge for parking was a minor irritation (I’d expect to pay for parking at a city centre hotel, but not for a hotel in a suburban location where space is really not at a premium). Overall, a fairly good choice for a hotel on the outskirts of Bristol, but could do with a bit more attention to detail in some areas.
