If you want to be in Clifton this is the place to be. There are some other tired hotels nearby and if you can splash out, a growing number of boutique hotels at double the price. The hotel has a great location overlooking the bridge and gorge, and as such they have a large terrace which is packed at weekends.... More

I'd booked this at the last minute to avoid driving after a birthday party, then decided to make a weekend of it. Initially they put us in the wrong room (twin with no view) but the staff were quite freindly and sorted it out before we unpacked. Our second room had a lovely view of the Avon Gorge, the Clifton...

Had booked a meal out in Bristol and although we live within 30 minutes of town it is always one of us drives therefore one doesn't drink, then the drive back. Always liked the look and sound of this place, so we booked in for the night. Very welcoming front of house staff and the room overlooking the Gorge and... More

Clifton is a wonderful place to stay and The Avon Gorge is a great spot with great views and lots to do within easy walking distance. The staff were all helpful during our 9 night stay and the breakfast was good. Sadly, the bar is very down market with no atmosphere and you're better off walking into Clifton and having... More

We booked this hotel last minute for our 1st wedding annivesary. We met in Bristol so knew the hotel and that the location and views from the terrace bar were fantastic. Slightly concerned about some recent negative comments from reviewers, but clearly not enough to put us off. Have to say our stay was extremely pleasant. We could not have... More

The hotel was comfortable and the Receptionist very polite. We had a room with a view of the bridge although it wasn't quite as clear a view as I'd imagined. This is a great spot to access restaurants and bars in Clifton from on foot, and still have the view of the bridge to look forward to upon your return. More

We stayed at the Avon Gorge Hotel for a family wedding in Bristol. There was quite a large number of the wedding party who had travelled from the US staying there too. When we first checked into our family room and noted that it had only been made up for 3 and not 4 as requested I thought “Oh no,... More

First time at this Bristol hotel and certainly the last. Several issues including a constant knocking caused by a problem with the radiators in the room which made for a very poor nights sleep. A bathroom that had a torrent (no exaggeration) of water coming through the ceiling at one stage. A self service breakfast area which had was empty... More

Dear Nick, I was very disappointed to hear of the issues you faced during your stay with us at The Avon Gorge Hotel. Unfortunately form time to time old buildings suffer from maintenance issues and we try to resolve these as quickly as possible and with little disturbance to our guest which was not the case on this occasion. Therefore... More
