Idea for somewhere to put your head down after a night in Bristol.
Good breakfast and very helpful staff.
Very cheap compared to other city centre hotels.
I like to stay at this property due to the proximity to the University's Victoria Rooms. The staff were great at all times. I only had continental breakfast which was satisfactory.
Very happy with my stay at the Washington. Parking was easy, there is a £12 per night charge. Staff are really nice and helpfull. Breakfast was good value. My room was fairly small but very comfortable . Will stay again if in Bristol in the future

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were incredibly courteous and pleasant.
The staff were really helpful and breakfast was good.
The hotel overall is tired and old fashioned. I stayed in 3 different rooms (another story) and all had different issues with them.
There certainly weren't any tablecloths on the breakfast tables like the picture at the start of this survey.
Clean room, great extras in the room & a really good breakfast. My only issue was that I could hear people talking in the room next to me until they went to sleep, which was at 1:30am, so the soundproofing is a bit of an issue.
