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.
