Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Exeter, United Kingdom15 contributions11 helpful votes
Arrived to guesthouse just after 2pm, checked in by a very welcoming member of staff. Given all information needed, found our room and was very happy with cleanliness and great to see they take into account not everyone likes tea and coffee by providing hot chocolate for morning drink. All staff we communicated with very polite, great place to stay if wanting to visit the Hippodrome to watch a show as only a short walk.. The only negative is that our room backed onto two bars that did not stop playing music until gone 2am, meaning we could not sleep with windows open,even with windows shut still loud. If your looking for an early night maybe ask for room at front of building rather than the back. Overall a good stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room, although small, was excellent value for money and the breakfast (which was included) was exceptional. The staff were friendly and efficient. The location is perfect and at night, can be noisy, but that is to be expected as it is so central. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely stay at Brooks Guesthouse! We stayed in one of the Rockets! Can’t beat the location of the hotel- opposite St Nicholas Market with beautiful stalls and food! Close to nearby buzzy bars - can be noisy but worth it for the location in our opinion! The staff were lovely and helpful! We parked at The Galleries car park and were given a discounted ticket! Rocket could do with some TLC but had all the amenities we needed and comfortable bed! Would definitely stay again! :)

We received a very warm welcome on our arrival and were quickly checked in. Everything about this place is a little bit quirky but really nicely done. The breakfast room is lovely. Up we went to our silver bullet on the roof. What a great idea. There’s everything that you need in there. The bathroom is a little compact but useable. The bed was super comfy and we slept very well. There was a little bit of noise from the surrounding area but it really didn’t disturb us. Breakfast service and food was lovely. The food was freshly cooked and tasty. This was along with a great continental selection. Car parking is a 5 minute walk away with a discount for residents. Just mention it on check out. Lovely friendly staff in a great location. Highly recommend a stay here. Thank you

Brooks Guest House Bristol is enclosed within a gated courtyard, giving the feeling of a sanctuary from noise and bustle the moment you step inside. We were planning to leave our bags and go and explore, but our room was ready hours early, and we were able to move in. The room was immaculate, comfortable, quiet, with a lift to our first-floor ensuite room. Downstairs there is a common room where breakfast is available, not until 9 or 9:30, as is usually, but until 10, every day, because people are on vacation and don't necessarily want to get up early for breakfast. There are actually two breakfasts, the usual continental breakfast, and a hot breakfast, whatever the chef's special is that day. There's an honor bar. The whole tone of the place is people friendly, serving peoples' needs and convenience, rather than that of the staff. After weeks of traveling, sleeping in various hotels, this place felt like a haven. We were out late one night, and when we came in, we asked the staff member if we could set up our computers in the common room and do some work. He said that the common room was closed after 11 pm, but of course we could use it anyway. That's the kind of place it is. Quirky, too, and whimsical. Check out the airstream trailers on the roof! My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. But we take away good memories of the Brook's Guest House, and the staff that after a very short time felt like friends.

If I could review this as lower than 1* I absolutely would. I stayed here last week (Aug 2023) and was given a room with a bed that was broken. The staff at the Hotel knew the bed was broken and has propped it up with Magazines and books, which inevitably led to the whole bed collapsing in the middle of the night. I, correctly asked the hotel to refund my stay as that service is well below what anyone could reasonably expect and although originally agreeing to refund, they are now refusing as it was through booking.co and not direct (Booking.com customer service have been very clear, that in this instance because of the route to booking, the responsibility lies with the Hotel). Talking to the hotel directly, I've been met with the lines 'It's not their problem' and 'I need to understand who's customer I am'. I honestly am so frustrated and surprised that any business would treat someone like this after such a clear fault of their own. Photo's below of the broken bedframe, propped up with Magazines that gave way in the night. One of I think three stacks, basically keeping the entire broken frame together. This Hotel do not care about guest comfort.

Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay I am very sorry the bed was broken ,You checked in at 11.30pm at night and made us aware of the issue of the bed after midnight but we could not fix it in the middle of the night a screw had come un done causing the issue . You were offered another room to sleep in but you refused that option You were given an alternative bedroom however you chose to stay in the first room from 11.30 pm until 7am next morning You booked via agoda so you would have to claim a refund from agoda as as they are your travel agent and they took payment CC etc Apologies again

A central located guest house just across from St Nicholas market. The rooms are clean and quiet despite being in the centre. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The staff were attentive and helpful. The parking is a 5 minute walk from the guest house and is at reduced rate.
