    My room was on the top floor so took a long time for hot water to come to come through the sink and shower (a lot of wasted water!)

    Staff were very friendly on arrival and at breakfast. The property was clean and tidy with plenty of parking at the rear of the property (once I managed to find it)

    Washing material are inadequate. Small washing for body should be adequate like liquid wash for two or more bathing. We struggle to squezze to get the small quantity liquid out and could not be adequate to wash even the face alone

    The breakfast was at £8.50 more expensive than the £6.00 I remember having seen on the website. Furthermore, I had paid a premium for a room upgrade to a bigger room, but was put nevertheless in a small room upstairs. The room was fine, however, as I had paid for the upgrade I wasn't quite satisfied.

    It was clean and everything worked.

    The room and bathroom were small and access was up steep stairs with a heavy fire door ( necessary, I understand) making entry into the room difficult when laden with luggage.

    The guest house was easy to find with parking at the rear but also on a direct bus route into Bristol. The room was clean, the bed was comfy with TV and kettle.

    There was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom that didn't go away even when the extractor was on.

    Room was clean and tidy, en-suite was also clean. It was a small room. Wi-Fi was good, and the TV has apps like Netflix and Disney+. Just Eat is available and there are few places to eat within walking distance. Large car park at the back of the property too.

    Credit cards not accepted, only debit cards. Well, if their card machine is working - it couldn't connect to the internet, which the vendor blamed on my card being bad. I had to go to a nearby ATM and get charged excessive foreign exchange fees in order to pay with cash. Ended up costing me about 15% more.

    Room was decent

    An Earlier check-in time would have been appreciated so we could drop our bags off, park and get on with work, only wanting to access the room after 6pm. The hotels car park is a little tricky to find but that's not the hotels fault. I dislike ANPR cameras on any car park - I distrust the operators from personal experience. That said, if you log your registration into the hotels parking system (and make sure you do or the sharks will be after you - not the hotel but the parking company !) you get free parking for the duration of your stay. Don't park on the left hand side of the car park. You'll get a fine. It's owned and policed by another parking company. It's not that well signposted so be aware. Bristol is too far to walk from the hotel in reality. That said, the bus is cheap as chips (~£3) and a Cab cost us £15-20 after midnight from centre to hotel. Beware, Bristol City's black cabs have an operating boundary and will try to maximise their profit margin if they go outside it so use the recommended cabs the hotel signpost you to.

    Great hosts. Very friendly and helpful to answer questions about the local amenities (e.g. buses, taxi numbers, etc.). Great twist on the traditional breakfast by having a Chinese & Veggie options. Food was lovely and generous with unlimited tea/coffee for us. Room very tidy and clean. Impressive original fixtures if you like a bit of Victoriana. Free parking for after checkout (I went into Bristol and they allowed me to park all day). Safe area but a busy road. I was in the front downstairs bedroom and slept well without interruption. Getting into Bristol is easy - local buses are running past every 15 mins (£2-£3 per person). Bus stops to & from town are within 1 minute of hotel's front entrance. Airbus is a stones throw away so ideal if that is your destination for a work visit. The Hotel is connected to Bristol city centre by one big super long road - longest independent shopping drag in Europe fact fans ! - worth a walk if you like exploring the many cuisines and niche shops the city has to offer. But bring some comfy shoes as it's a long walk and up hill on the way back !

    1. Had to lug a heavy suitcase up three flights - no help offered. 2. Initial reception difficult with person who seemed not to speak /understand much English, especially as regards payment. Claimed not to have credit card receipt paper and inarticulately wanted a cash payment. Later sorted out with another person.
