This was a nice hotel with good service and clean rooms. The location was amazing - it was close to many restaurants and the market. When I noticed a problem with the bed (one of the wheels was missing and so it sagged), they immediately came up and took care of it. The walls in the rooms are quite thin,... more

Great hotel, and good breakfast. Did think it was a little overpriced through and staff kept us waiting for a while when we were checking out. Overall, a nice stay and good location next to the markets, but not quite in the centre of town. more

7 Jun 2008

I wanted to stay in a big old hotel, rather than a 1970s flat roofed box so I had high hopes for the towering and majestic and slightly gothic Grand Hotel (now called Thistle Bristol I think). Anyway, we arrived on a rainy Good Friday evening, to get the last room in the hotel, I think. We were in the... more

I recently stayed here, along with my friends as part of a hen weekend, organised by Brilliant Weekends. I have to say that I had a thoroughly good time here. The staff were friendly and very approachable. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend and one which I am sure the bride will remember. The rooms were great and... more

We booked our Hen weekend through the ironically entitled 'Brilliant Weekends' who will also be hearing fom us. We booked 4 twin ensuite rooms but instead got 2 king rooms an interconnecting lounge which had two beds hastily put into it and lastly what looked like a cabin room from steerage. The hotel looks nice from the outside and the... more

We booked this hotel for a two night hen weekend via a company called Brilliant Weekends. We were told that we would be staying in triple rooms, only to find that this hotel defines a triple room as a twin room with a camp bed stuck in the corner! Not what you would expect from a four star hotel. We... more

1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed here with 5 friends for a long weekend, ok rooms, all different size, but great for us. Breakfast very good and included in our room rate. This hotel is ideal for the local shopping and eating places, easy to get about. Some of the rooms are in need of upgrading and improving, but generally ok. The bar staff need... more

Stayed here for one night. Good location, helpful staff, clean room, good breakfast, good value. I would agree that the rooms are a little 'worn', but ours was quiet and of a good size (we booked a family room with an extra z-bed). The gym was very good for a hotel - much bigger than most. Only gripe I would... more

I have stayed here several times and chose it because of the location and because it has a gym with pool. Rooms are generally quite small, dark and dingy and the views are generally to other buildings or grubby facias. On one visit the corridor smelt very strongly of vomit! Breakfast is average - no complaints. I have always found... more

Management response from
SimonDrake, Senior Operations Manager

I am naturally disappointed to read a number of negative responses and therefore feel it prudent to advise future guests of the actions that have now been taken : The hotel will be undergoing in excess of 8 million pounds worth of refurbishment commencing in May this year. All bedrooms have new towels and bed furnishings already in place. By...
