My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent, just a 5-minute walk from the city center and right opposite the train station, making it super convenient. The rooms, although clean and well-equipped, were on the main road, leading to a restless night due to the noise. The service was a bit of a hit and miss as some staff members were very friendly and helpful while others were surprisingly rude.

The room I stayed in was fine, clean, and tidy. It had a decent size double bed, a single bed, a TV, and a kettle with tea & coffee. The bathroom was nice with a good selection of bathroom products. However, being on the main road made it noisy and affected my sleep quality.

The staff members were a mixed bag - some were unbelievably rude, while others were excellent, helpful, and cheerful. On the bright side, when I requested a room change, they efficiently moved me to a quieter room.

The location of the hotel was great, just a 5-minute walk to the city center and right across from the train station, which was incredibly convenient for my travels. However, the noise from the nearby railway made it a bit tricky to get the ambience right, especially in the evening.

I had a very comfortable stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and cozy, equipped with both cooling and heating options, perfect for my stay during a heatwave. The friendly service made me feel welcome, although check-in took a bit longer than I expected. The location was excellent with easy access to many attractions, although parking was a bit challenging to find. The dining experience was pleasant overall, with just a few dull sausages. The facilities were convenient, and the price was reasonable for the value provided.

My stay at the hotel was overall quite pleasant. The rooms were excellent with working air conditioning, comfy beds, lovely clean sheets, and great pillows. The breakfast included in the room price was pretty decent. The staff took a while to check us in, blaming it on a guest using the hair blower with chemicals, but they were very nice and helpful. The location, while excellent for the train station, could be a bit cosier and was just okay for the shopping/entertainment areas. The dining experience was adequate but could have been better. The hotel is in a secure park with a gate and is conveniently near the station and city center.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and had everything I needed for a perfect night's sleep. The only downside was having to wait for the towels to be picked up by cleaners, but overall, it was a great experience. The service was outstanding, especially Faheem at reception, who made sure everything was just right. The location was ideal for exploring Bristol, being close to Temple Meads and various transportation options. The dining experience was average, with limited options, but the continental breakfast was decent. The facilities were good, with amenities like dry cleaning and laundry available.

The hotel is quite good value for money, offering clean and comfortable rooms with the essential facilities. While the rooms may be small and basic, they still provide a decent stay. The service was friendly but could have been more assertive on the rules. The location is convenient, especially for those using public transportation. The dining experience, however, was subpar lacking in variety and quality. Overall, a satisfactory stay for those looking for a budget option near the train station.

The hotel offers warm, comfortable, and clean rooms with a choice of pillows and soft towels, but the sofa bed was small and uncomfortable. The service was excellent, especially from the accommodating staff. The location is superb, right across from the temple meads railway station, making it convenient for sightseeing. The dining experience varied but was generally basic. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel has a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are comfortable and offer a good night's sleep, but noise from neighboring rooms can be disruptive. The service is friendly and considerate overall, though there were some issues with communication. The location is excellent for transportation but lacks entertainment options nearby. The dining experience is satisfactory but could offer more variety. Overall, good value for the price paid.

The hotel had a great TV that was working well, which was nice. However, the fan only blew cold air directly onto one side of the bed, making it uncomfortable. The room was simple, clean, and one of the best I've ever had in any hotel.
