should have known when we were asked to pay up front (without seening the rooms ) would have ran out . a kip , was expecting to see them to rent by the hour . more

It was so disgusting and stank so much in the most hideous dirty bathroom ever, that the kids REFUSED to go in there in the morning even to brush their teeth! They said it smelt like a wet pet had been into a public toilet! Just DON'T go there! Our family toured from New Zealand in Europe for 3 months... more

This hotel was recommended to us by a 'friend', so ignored negative reviews. What a mistake. We booked via the internet. The only room available was a three bedded one. We asked for a canal view, we got a brick wall. Just imagine, if you found a spare room. you had a few odd bits of furnishing and an apprentice... more

Arrived at the hotel, thought looked ok for 3* from outside..... then went in! Receptionist not in uniform, hotels of 3* status usually provide uniform for staff from past experience, she was polite, but could have been the cleaner for all we knew! The lift is just big enough for 2 people with small luggage, so my friend and I... more

I was booked into the Bristol for two nights as a member of a large group of seasoned travellers. I had read the warnings but too late as the bookings had already been made! I agree with all the negative comments. It is a tired, tatty establishment. The bedrooms have obviously been modernised at some stage but many years ago;... more

Obviously others have found the... more

This hotel is the worst place I have ever stayed. It was dirty and dingy. We had booked in for two nights (via the internet) subject to glowing reviews. I was appalled at the place. the rooms were dirty and the hotel itself hasn't been renovated / painted / cleaned properly in who knows how long. If you don't like... more

Other reviews seem to be talking about another hotel of the same name! I do not recognise the comments about being clean - we were unable to stay in our room as it did not appear to have been cleaned at all, other than making the bed and a light dusting. The shower room was really unpleasantly dirty. No other... more

We stayed at the Bristol in July '05 and were disappointed to say the least. For a start, we had booked through a site called "Planigo" which quoted us 75 euros for a triple room without breakfast. When we arrived the hotel informed us that no booking had been made on our behalf by Planigo. They managed to fit us... more
