It appears that the hotel is often used for stag and hen parties at the weekends, which is fine if you are on such an event (which I was) but not so good if you are staying with your family or expecting a cosy weekend with the wife/girlfriend/partner.

I've stayed at this hotel for 3 weeks. It was very good and convenient and I do reccomend it! The staff was great and I enjoyed their breakfast. The only thing that I didn't like is that the main road outside the hotel is extemely noisy.

Things don't start well because the hotel is in a fairly untidy area, opposite Bristol Temple Meads station and it was obviously converted from a 1960's/ 1970's office block and it shows. Car parking is "difficult" as you have to park up behind the hotel, go into reception, get a code, try the secure car park, then if that is... More

The hotel is situated directly infront of the station making it an ideal starting point for adventures around bristol. The city is easy to get to on foot from here too.
