    If you are ever staying in Bristol I fully recommend you stay at least one night in this hotel and…read morestay in a big Loft Chapel facing suite. Each room inside the hotel do not have room numbers but are called champagne where this room being the best from all other rooms is called Veuve Clicquot. This is duplex suite with a Very large King size bed featuring a stunning Veuve Clicquot, back-lit display headboard. Intimately designed in rich earthy tones with a separate lounge area and 42 inch plasma TV. Upstairs in the bathroom you'll find twin roll top baths and a walk-in monsoon shower. I admit the rooms may be slightly pricey but the luxury of this suite is worth every penny! As the complimentary toiletries smell lovely, there are Egyptian Cotton sheets on the bed, the monsoon walk-in shower is so refreshing, I've never felt so clean in my life! Once a year we travel over here but not to visit Bristol town centre but to this hotel as this is one of my favourites! We always have issues with parking but there is off street parking available!

    Du Vin is one of my favourite places to eat in Bristol. Who doesn't love classic French food with a…read morefantastic sommelier and bar staff. Service is always good and when busy you're not waiting around for food for ages, not that you'd notice with the brilliant classic decor and cosy yet clean atmosphere. Set in the old sugar house and popular with he cigar smoking philanthropist types of the 1920's the style is a dirty yellow paint to resemble smoke stained walls, surprisingly attractive, unlike a smoked stained wall in weather spoons before the smoking ban came in. The wine cellar is set in the old smoking room which is brilliant to have a peak at as you see bottles of '62 Perignon and the finest wines from across the world. 10/10 would recommended the beef Bourgogne with a match deep burgundy red, just ask the Sommelier - they'll sort you out! Give it a go it's a great place and not too expensive and the hotel rooms, I've been told, are to die for!

    This is some hotel! It's 2 former banks in a prominent spot on Corn Street, smack in the centre of…read moreBristol. It's quite new and you can tell - the service is exceptional, the kind of exceptional you only get from somewhere that's still trying their hardest to impress, with none of the cynicism apparent in many other longer established luxury hotels. The architecture is awesome - externally it's stunning, a period building that oozes style. Inside has been decorated beautifully. It's a bit of a warren inside, I got lost on the way back from the gym, and ended up on my floor, but the opposite side. But it adds to the character. The rooms are gorgeous, big comfy beds, quirky chairs and classic touches. My bathroom was clean and modern, and very roomy. The aforementioned gym is well stocked with very modern equipment. A bit warm with no aircon that I could feel, but it's in one of the old bank vaults which weren't designed to be cool I guess! The spa looked amazing too - I didn't use it but was seriously tempted. The jacuzzi looked like bliss and the people in it at the time had beaming smiles, so I assume they were having a good time. Yet to try the cocktail bar or restaurant - if I do I'll update the review! Overall impressions are great, I'll absolutely be coming back here when I'm next down on business (or pleasure...)

    I hadn't realised that many years ago I had stayed in this hotel but what a change the Du Vin…read moreorganisation had made over those years. Changes for the better. Reception was fast and friendly yet Covid-19 aware, as was the rest of our overnight stay. My choice of room was perfect. Fourth floor with a view of the gorge and that brilliant Brunel structure, the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Everything we would ever need was in that large room. The main necessity, a large, comfortable bed. After settling in we decided to venture down to The White Lion. A 'pub style' venue with a outside patio area that allows non-residents to enjoy. Again, with that wonderful view of the bridge. Fantastic service from the young staff who, obviously, are very well trained. Having my normal double vodka it arrived with no ice. When I requested some ice, a pint glass of ice arrived. The young lady placed it on the table with a smile. After a while it became a little chilly so we opted to visit the Clifton Lounge within the hotel. This lounge is residents only. A wonderful comfy lounge. The mixologist on duty that evening certainly knew how to make deliciously dry vodka martini so, I admit, another followed quite swiftly. It was delivered to the table by a young lady who asked 'do you need ice?'. I love professional service especially with a little humour. After a very restful night, breakfast. A wonderful tasty, and filling, breakfast. Once again, with very professional service. Almost silver service. A perfect way to start the day. Two small comments which certainly do not distract from this five star review, just comments. The car park could be surfaced and spaces marked out which would then accept more cars. Also, my partner remarked that the room must have been designed by a man as there was no lit mirror with an adjacent socket for the hair dryer. However, we are looking to spend a couple of days, soon, in Bristol and the Avon Gorge Hotel will be our base for sure.

    Super swanky Avon Gorge Hotel is for the more moneyed amongst you. Probably the only hotel in…read moreBristol with views of the suspension bridge the Avon Gorge considers itself a cut above the rest. It probably is as well; you get the feeling that everything is a little richer here. They've used their location well, and you can get a perfect windowside spot without too much trouble. Go in the evening and enjoy the spectacle of the suspension bridge all lit up. Or try the morning when you can have a long meditative cup of coffee. Come early enough (or just book yourself in and come for breakfast) and it will be blissfully peaceful at this time. The Avon Gorge Hotel is at the high end of high end and is an elegant location to take a drink or get a nights sleep.

Area In Middle of Major building works (student accommodation) and noisy. After obtaining room key for 2-night stay realised been given a standard room (paid for Super room), Back to reception who advised "It's all we have left, hotel is severely overbooked and your lucky to even get a room! If you're not happy contact customer service". Room Key frequently stops working (5 times) security is poor with broken locks. Carpets Stained. Rooms VERY hot, open windows and woken at sunrise by the noise from flocks of seagulls feasting on the rubbish outside. Windows Overlook from apartments meaning you ned to keep curtains closed for any privacy. I have used Travelodge many times over the years, but this hotel should be condemned. Almost £400 for 2 two nights. Raised my concerns with Customer service, the delightful Paige offered me a refund of the difference in room price, nothing in respect of the issues. There are much more central hotels, including budget options, seriously AVOID this Hotel at all costs.

What I believe to be the carbon monoxide alarm was just exposed without a cover. Then when we came down for breakfast, we ended up spending nearly two hour from stepping into the dining hall to leaving. To begin with, we spent nearly 15 minutes for someone to finally attend to us. We kept requesting for cutlery 3 times before finally getting the right amount of cutlery as she kept going back and forth to the kitchen with a piece of cutlery or two. There was hardly anything in the kitchen, we kept asking for stuffs and the sad thing is, they kept bringing things in small bits as if we are the only one in the dining hall. We requested for vegetarian sausages and we were told 8 minutes wait but 15 minutes later we still waiting for the sausages. The coffee machine was broken and there was no coffee. Upon request, few sachets were brought to the dining hall, there were no juice and just one carton of apple juice was then brought out, and that's how it continued for the whole morning. Bear in mind that breakfast time was from 0800 until 1100 but we were there from around 0915 and had to have such an experience. I did hung the "Top Me Up" card on door handle all day and to my surprise, I walked into the Same filthy room as I left it in the morning. No cleaning, no coffee, no milk, no towels, nothing! On our second night, the fire alarm kept going off every few seconds from around 4am. The front desk stated that one of the guests had tampered with the alarm in their room that's why it's going off every 15 seconds but there isn't a thing they can do about it. Is that not the used of the fire panel? To pinpoint where the trip is coming from?? And to say I paid over £300 for such an experience is beyond me. I do not even feel I can recommend it to my worst enemy.
