to get started.

Loved the hotel style and decor. The rooms have everything that you need and our room had a gorge view of the Clifton suspension brisge which is illuminated at night. Breakfast area also has an outside terrace and again overlooks the gorge and bridge area. Several minutes walk away from the bridge itself which you can walk across.

Steve, United Kingdom

The location of the hotel was superb and we had a delicious dinner on the terrace with fantastic views of the Bridge and the spectacular scenery.

Set above Avon Gorge, this hotel overlooks Brunel's famous suspension bridge. It has a large terrace for al fresco dining with excellent views.

Located in Clifton, the hotel is about 2 miles from Bristol city centre, which can be reached on foot. A wide range of restaurants are available within a few minutes’ walk.

Avon Gorge Hotel is home to the White Lion Bar. It offers modern British cuisine and is a good meeting place. There is also free Wi-Fi in public areas.

Some bedrooms face the gorge, and others look towards Clifton village. Each room also has satellite TV, and facilities for making tea and coffee.

Clifton is a great choice for travellers interested in architecture, history and culture.

This is our guests' favourite part of Bristol, according to independent reviews.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

Bedroom smelt like bad drains, resturant staff were rude, was difficult to get service, food quality was bad, empty glasses and over flowing ashtrays everywhere, cocktails weren’t made well, too many events running at the same time (in the same terrace) this meant 3 different lots of music at the same time in one place, couldn’t get food right, only decaf coffee in the rooms as they had “run out” however they seemed to find it when asked, electrics were faulty in the rooms which meant lights wouldn’t work... the list goes on. Felt as though residents were second class to events.
Not much! Didn’t meet expectations.

The decor was awful.. we stayed for one night but wouldn’t book here again due to the rooms being so dark, painted black or very dark brown. It was quite depressing and such a shame, as could be spectacular.
The location was very good

Breakfast was just chaotic. Not enough staff and the attitude of a couple was terrible and spoilt what is often for me one of the nicest things to look forward to. They really need to learn to be able to cope under stress and just learn basic manners .
Location was amazing. Food excellent. Rooms lovely and clean . Beds very comfortable. Taxi required to get to the train station organised by hotel staff and cost £10 one way . Staff in reception and bar very good and pleasant .

The bed was incredibly comfy. The air conditioned room and the balcony looking over South Bristol and the Suspension Bridge were delightful! Would definitely recommend for young couples wanting to do something romantic and winding down with an alcoholic beverage on the terraces looking at Brunel's Bridge! Fantastic breakfast as well!

If there is car parking space at the hotel it would be good if you could waive the fee for parking permit.

Tad overpriced, I booked a premium room with a gorge view. Room was tiny and we could only see the gorge if we opened the window and leaned out of it. Plus parking was in street and an absolute bastard.
Excellent bar, room clean and bed excellent. Staff utterly charming.

The decor is so gloomy! Dark grey walls, dark grey curtaining, darker grey woodword. One needs a torch to find one's way round the room. It was very depressing to stay in, seems a waste of an otherwise nice building.
