Stayed at the hotel for one night on a Saturday. We thought it was good value for money. Room was on the lower ground floor ( room 206). The room was a good size, clean and comfortable. The staff on reception were very helpful. We didn't have breakfast as there are lots of cafes in Clifton. We will stay here... More

Hotel location good, staff polite, breakfast varied and of a decent quality. However like many hotels some spaces not suitable to be used as accommodation are. Room 204 is in the basement with the bathroom lower still down 3 or 4 stairs. The window looks therefore mostly at retaining wall and unfortunately is very close to not just the road... More

Thank you for your review. I am very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay in room 204. This room is particularly unfortunate with its view. Our Lower ground floor rooms at the back of the building have better outlooks as the ground level drops (in the lodge they overlook a small garden). I do hope that you enjoyed... More

The hotel is characterful, clean & comfortable. The staff are friendly & helpful. The original room we were given was a little on the small side but when we asked for a bigger one we were given one at no extra cost. The location is great, right in the heart of Clifton and overlooking the green (& quiet) Victoria Square.... More

The room was well appointed and very clean. Probably the best hotel in Clifton of this size and star rating that I have stayed in. Breakfast let it down - cut up fresh fruits, rather than tinned, would have been welcome, and the toaster arrangement baffled most people (need clear instructions or a more user-friendly toaster!).The smoke alarm went off...

Three of us stayed there last night on business - great location, lovely staff and really clean comfortable hotel. My only complaint was the lack of a full-sized ironing board in the room (which was big enough for one) - it made ironing my shirt trickier than normal!
