First of all some history. I travel with my job and stay away in excess of 150 nights a year. I have been traveling for over 10 years and have never felt the need to put a global review out before......until now....... We had viewed the hotels website and liked the 'boutique hotel' feel that was described and illustrated. The... more

Booked in and booked out. Hotel quite shabby. The hotel is right next to the main road and noisy. But some rooms are smoking rooms! And do they stink. I was not made aware of this when I booked the room for two nights. The very pleasant receptionist (not being sarcastic she was) offered me an alternative room for my... more

Management response from
Joanna Tiernay, Manager

I would, firstly, like to say how sorry I am that we did not meet the expectations of the reviewer. I would, however, like to clarify a few points regarding our smoking rooms. We do have a very limited number of smoking rooms available at the hotel. The vast majority of our rooms are non-smoking, however, and we aim to...

I stayed three nights at the hotel. It is an old-building-made-into-a-hotel, and it does not look luxurious at all, but the staff is friendly. Everything in the room was plain, but functional. In my room there was a shower, a tiny TV set, tea/coffee-making tools, a complimentary bowl of fresh fruits (2 oranges and 1 apple, reduced to 1 orange... more

I initially tried to book at the Clifton Hotel but they were full, so the Washington was recommended to me instead as they are part of the same group. I must say I like this hotel just as much as the Clifton. I found the staff here to be very friendly and efficient. I twisted my ankle badly last week... more

We stayed at the Washington on the night of our friends wedding. We were initially worried that the 2pm check-in time wouldn't fit with our plans, but we were told on the phone that they would try to get us an earlier check-in and this was honoured. Overall the staff were friendly and chatty always willing to help us, whether... more

First off, I walked in off the street looking for somewhere to stay in Bristol and ended up in the Washington. My advice, try to knock them down on price. They intially quoted me £85 B & B, I eventually got a nights B & B for £65. The hotel is average, nothing special but reasonably up together. Breakfast is... more

I believe I have found a real gem of a hotel in The Washington! I am a frequent traveller to Bristol on business and have normally stayed in the travelodge but the combination of relatively cheap rates and my need to be in the Clifton area on this occassion meant that I decided to give the Washington a try. I... more

The hotel is kind of like a warren - from outside it looks quite small but there are corridors and staircases everywhere inside. Staff are friendly, and the hotel gets big plus points for good selection of cooked food or continental breakfast every morning, a fruit bowl in your room, a TV with a few Sky channels, wifi internet access... more

I visited this hotel on business arriving by car. Parking is at a premium in this area, there is a secure car park at the rear of the hotel (cost 6 GBP) but it only has about 10 spaces which were full when I arrived. I parked in the overflow car park which has 3 spaces (cost 5 GBP) I... more

I wasn't really looking forward to my stay at this hotel having read fellow travellers' reviews but I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the high standard of this hotel. While I must concede that it is in need of some redecoration, I must commend this hotel in all other areas. I found the staff to be among the... more
