Staff was kind, location was great. I had a room in their smaller secondary building and I didn't know the hotel didn’t have a lift so carrying all my bags up flights of stairs wasn't much fun... but everything else was great!
Stayed at short notice after being left in the lurch. Clara on reception was excellent and went the extra mile to look after us.

Great location but a few issues with early check in and our room was unfortunately very noisy due to its location within the building.
We will definitely return sometime but will request a quiet room.
The staff were friendly. The room was functional, quiet, light and airy and the bed was very large and comfortable.
The on-site parking is very convenient.
Room was very good. Service was good. Everything very clean and well maintained.
Unfortunately the breakfast let things down. My eggs benedict was two poached eggs on bacon with a very small dish of hollandaise sauce. My wife's vegetarian breakfast looked like it had been standing around for a good while before serving. Needs improvement!
Always feel very welcome and valued as a customer.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was clean in places, but finer details such as the shower and corners of the room had debris and collected dirt. The noise was the main concern as the floor boards and doors created a lot of noise around the building. The doors do not have anti slam mechanisms, causing them to slam loudly whenever anyone uses them. Didn’t get much sleep. Parking should also be free for guests.
Friendly, helpful staff. Room was clean and functional with everything I needed. On-site parking was a bonus and a very good breakfast (huge sausage!). I'd been disappointed with my stays in other Clifton hotels so was very please to have found this one. I will stay again.
The hotel is very clean and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We were that happy we booked in on our return journey from Devon. The hotel faces the Victoria Square Garden, with a short walk through the garden you’re into Clifton village. There’s restaurants and shops within walking distance. Also the bus stop is outside the hotel, where the No8 takes you into the city, and the return stop is also outside the hotel. I would recommend staying here !

Clean hotel, comfortable stay, good location for my needs. Shops and pubs within walking distance. Only criticism is the room I had could do with a bit of maintenance care; the light above the bed had a loose bulb, the shower head rail was loose on the wall and the plug didn’t fit the sink.
