This was my third stay at Toad Lodge. Location is perfect for the Centre, the University and for Clifton and is very safe to walk in at night. The staff are friendly. The rooms are clean, large, warm and furniture is in good condition. The shared bathroom was also very clean. The breakfast was excellent and the landlady even let... More

Location was only a 10 minute walk into the city. Lots of food and bars a few minutes away. Was able to park on forecourt Breakfast was from 8am which was quite late for me. The food however was excellant.

Quirky indeed. We needed a room for the night before going to Bristol in preparation for a gig. We found this place, but also found some bad reviews to go with it... Nevertheless we thought we'd go for it as it was just somewhere to sleep for a reasonable price in a fairly central location. And we have no regrets!... More

Friendly helpful staff with clean large rooms and close to town (~10min walk), We stayed in a room without a bathroom but we had our own sink and shared the bathroom with one other room. The breakfast is fantastic and included in the prise.

I loved so much the long weekend I spent at the Toad lodge. Clean rooms, funny furniture, lovely knick-knacks (even a blue and golden Tutankamen statue on the fireplace), and the warm, magic atmosphere due to the nice company of MMe Toad, Christopher and the other guests of the lodge. Room #2 comes with a free view of a killer... More

We were going for a night out in Stokes Croft which was a 10 minute walk away, and a 20 minute stagger up the hill back , although it is a safe route and avoids the town centre. This place is like a relic of B&B's of the 1970's, from the decor to the carpets, the furniture to the colour... More

What an awesome place to stay in Bristol, a beautiful building, decorated with bits from the lives of the wonderful and slightly eccentric owners. A great alternative to bland hotels. Very friendly and welcoming place that services a great breakfast. Can be a bit of a long, steep climb from the docks but great for Gloucester road and well worth... More

Situated in a lovely area of Bristol......a bus ride from the centre and close to Clifton, and close to Gloucester Road, which is where I was intersested in....lots of interesting independent shops. I needed somewhere which was not too expensive, and this place certainly met that bill....a very economical place to be. I mean to say, what do you expect... More

I stayed here for a weekend friend with my friend and really enjoyed my stay. It lived up to its name of Toad Lodge - there was toad carpet, toad bedspreads and even a toad bin, We walked in and were greeted by the lovely, eccentric landlady. She was very friendly and welcoming, be aware they only accept cash. The... More
