My stay at the hotel was a wonderful experience. The room I stayed in possibly had one of the best views in Bristol - one side overlooking the Downs and the other giving a view of the city. While it was a bit small being in the basement, the comfort and the fantastic views across the Bristol rooftops made up for it. The beautifully decorated and spacious room with a lovely overhead fan and large windows offering vistas of the Downs was a highlight.

Wow, what an amazing find! The hotel blew me away with its stunning views over the city and beautifully decorated, spacious rooms. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making our stay unforgettable. However, the dining experience was a bit isolated and quiet due to current restrictions. Overall, a gem in an excellent location with great amenities and dining options.
