Decor was lovely and hotel was very clean. Location perfect. Reception staff, particulary when checking out. No smile and no eye contact. Didnt get asked any questions eg normally you get asked "did you enjoy your stay" "was everything ok with the room" etc etc Very poor.

The location is very good for the shops and night life. The room walls are extremely thin and you can hear every word next door - very annoying. Be aware of the extra charges on room service - makes the cost more like what you would expect to pay in London or Paris rather than in Bristol. Carrying/wheeling a suitcase from the elevator to the room includes negotiating 4 fire doors and 2 sets of steps - ok for fit people but some may find it awkward - there was no porter available at the time I arrived.

Comfortable bed. Very nice breakfast. Excellent location. Room 126. Unable to operate the wall lights seperately from the ceiling lights. One of the wall lights was hanging off the wall. Water was initially yellow when I turned on the tap in the bathroom. Peeling paint on the bathroom ceiling. Tv remote control didn't work.

The hotel had a feel of luxury but was not over the top. I loved it and it made me want to come back for leisure purposes - possibly a romatic city break with my other half! Staff were really professional and friendly and the express check-out option was really weel organised. The secure parking was a bonus and good value for money.

The room was spacious and comfortable. All areas were clean and well designed. Staff were polite, and very responsive, eg when we found that we only had one set of towels another was sent up immediately with apologies. All staff were pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was good. It was very convenient to be able to leave the car in the car park after we had checked out in order to go shopping and sight seeing. We really enjoyed our stay.

Little details were poor. There was no plug in the sink. The shower was dangerously hot. The beer in the bar was off. None of these should occur if the staff cared.

We booked through Booking.com and got the room for a really good rate. We went to see the filming for "Deal or No Deal" so was great for location. Hotel staff were more than helpful, we originally stayed in room 267 but once we had unpacked we'd noticed the window had broken and didn't close properly so we sat in a draft. They moved us straight away down the corridor which did seem an improvement until 5.10am when a couple next door decided to have a domestic and woke us. We rang reception straight away and this was soon put right. Reception wavered the £8 carpark fee due to this so was nice to see they tried to put right. Overall had a great stay, breakfast was only £10 on arrival and worth every penny. Paper thin Walls, and carpark was very tight.

The decor was lovely and the facilities were very good. Nice dressing room table and mirror and plenty of storage.The quality of the food on the Hotel menu was fantastic. My room felt cold all night even though the heating was on until I noticed the next morning that one of the windows did not close properly, leaving a draft. Too late to complain really.
