“Big room, small bathroom”

Reviewed May 24, 2013 NEW

Great location, pleasant staff, nice decor and good breakfast. We had an executive room, which was big, roomy, comfy but had such a small bathroom. Really odd. Comfy beds and we had no disturbance but on check out heard some guests complain their walls were paper thin and they could hear their neighbours snore and talk. The only off putting... More

“Great location & free parking too!”

Located in the heart of the Harbourside, the position of this hotel is ideal for exploring Bristol. With the main shopping centres in one direction, all the amenities that the Harbourside has to offer in the other plus Park Street in another, it seemed that everything was withing walking distance. This allows us to park our car for the duration... More

“Better than it looks from the outside”

Reviewed May 22, 2013 NEW via mobile

This hotel looks terrible from the outside. It is attached to one of the ugliest multi-storey car parks I have ever seen. The lobby is a bit cramped and gloomy but my room, which was an executive room, was good. The conference facilities are modern and well-equipped, and the food is OK. The hotel is located in the Old City,... More

“Great Stay, wonderful location”

Reviewed May 22, 2013 NEW

Stayed at this hotel May 11, 2013 while visiting Grillstock Festival at Lloyds Amphitheatre. The convenience is fantastic. As you arrive you drive into the NCP car park attached to the hotel, which is complimentary from the hotel. Location is excellent for city centre & waterside. We had a warm friendly welcome and they were even able to accommodate us... More

“Great location, loved the bubbles and berries”

Reviewed May 21, 2013 NEW

Great location on the harbourside, friendly staff, we had a room overlooking the harbour which is lovely and although the windows soundproofing is good I could still hear revellers at 3am when I woke so you may opt for a room at the back - you won't get the view but it will be quieter. Great deal included berries and... More

“Avoid if travelling by car.”

Although in a brilliant harbour side location, this hotel is not in the easiest of places to get to by car. When you do arrive, there is no drop-off zone. The hotel is built alongside a busy multi-storey car park, so you have to find somewhere to park, then drag your luggage down flights of concrete stairs to reception. There... More
