Tend to agree with other reviewers on the condition of the rooms. Ours was very spacious, plenty of cupboards and drawers. Bathroom large and very clean. But all was 'tired'. There was a terrific draught through the window so much so that the curtains were flapping! This was all accompanied by winds howling. I guess with the building being old... More

We stayed here for business in December 2011. Bristol has a terrible parking problem and if you are driving here, beware! The hotel is on a steep slope, and the few parking spaces are down below. Our rental car had a hard time negating the slope and anyway, there were no available spaces, once we got down. There was no... More

My wife and I stayed at the Avon Gorge this last weekend as a pre Valentines stay. From the moment we arrived until the minute we left, we were treated with respect and every member of staff were extremely friendly and more then helpful. We had been upgraded (at no extra charge) to a Gorge facing room which was more... More

The hotel is in a good location with excellent views of the bridge. Parking is a bit hit and miss at the front of the hotel and the parking at the back is very dark and dingy and does not feel very safe in the evening,it definitely needs a serious revamp. We had a premier room but I think the... More

A feel a bit guilty giving this hotel just an average since its location, perched on the side of the Avon Gorge with some of the best views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, coupled with the high standard of customer service, would normally get a much higher score. The trouble is the hotel is badly in need of a facelift.... More

We booked a gorge view room 128, the view was fantastic, the room was large and had all you need including a hairdryer in the bathroom. We had read the Hotel was looking tired around the edges,...

My husband and I stayed at the Avon Gorge for the New Year celebrations and we had a superb time! We took advantage of the package and upgraded for very little extra to a Gorge view - well worth doing! Yes, the decor may be a little old fashioned but we could not fault the size, comfort and cleanliness of... More

The staff are very helpful - we asked the receptionist where we could get a nice indian and she recommended 3 places nearby and supplied us with maps. The rooms need rennovation. They are quite worn out. The supplied us with tea and coffee as is normal, but also we were happy to see a sachet of cocoa. Sadly, and... More

We staying New Year's Eve night together with a meal at the Bridge Cafe and the party at the White Lion. The ground floor is decorated beautifully, from reception through to the restaurant and along to the White Lion pub, but the rooms are looking extremely tired. The room was very big with a large bathroom and we had a... More
