    This hotel is in an ideal location. It's walking distance to everything literally. We didn't have…read moreto move the car because right outside was a bus stop and to my left and my right were thrift stores, ample coffee shops, restaurants and the Harbor as this hotel is positioned right in city centre. I will only stay here next time I am in Bristol which will be this spring. We didn't not try the Michelin star restaurant for exploring the city and eating out however the bar was lovely. Marcel one of the bartenders although they closed at 11 if we were still enjoying ourselves along with other patrons he would keep the bar open longer; so accommodating. Also there were times I had leftovers that I would wake up wanting and the front desk would warm them up for me. Our room was clean and even when sleeping in it didn't matter that I got up after 2pm they still ensured our bedding was changed and fresh towels. This place is gorgeous bummer that they no longer have the spa and pool on the ground level but I understand it can be pricey to maintain.

    My stay here was deeply undignified, which I had a chilling premonition of through the greeting I…read morereceived (or should I say lack thereof) by the young woman on the reception desk. She was eating celery sticks, and staring at something on her screen; hopefully nothing obscene, but who can say with these kinds of people? Anyway, she appeared not to have noticed me so I clacked my heels on the floor, and the reverberating echo which rippled through the foyer startled the lass and she quietly screamed. After she had recovered from her shock, she had become angered, and made little effort to conceal it. I told her that I was here for a hotel room and she said "yes I think I figured that part out thanks" before typing with her keyboard. Eventually she assigned me to a room without saying anything else to me, just handing the key card over without another word. The key card was greasy and almost slid out of my hand. That did mean that it slid into the sensor with ease, however, so this I cannot complain about. That being said, I would have probably preferred to have just stayed in the hallway and tried my luck with the mercy of the other guests. The room was about as sanitary as a swamp on a humid summer day, and I tried to make sure that I did not touch any of the surfaces as they looked diseased. The bed had a disturbing morphology and, upon further inspection, I found it's undulating crevices to be distressed. There was also a dead bee in the sink. I put the bee out of the window to decompose in the natural world, but then I could not close the window no matter how hard I pulled. My room had suddenly become an access-all-hours, free-for-all for the opportunists of society. You won't be surprised to learn that I didn't sleep very much on the lumpen, deformed and gravelly mattress. I decided to purchase the breakfast buffet, and went down to the restaurant area wearing a business woman outfit and heels so no one would question why I was dining alone. I should have turned around and sought alternative victuals after glimpsing the wretched nature of the diners. Their levels of physical fitness and mental acuity were subterranean, which reflected poorly on the breakfast foods. The scrambled eggs were fibrous, and the coffee that I had been so foolish as to sample tasted as if it had been brewed in a nuclear reactor. I knew at this point that I needed to get out of the hotel as soon as possible and never return.

    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 liked the 7 minute quick walk to the Temple Meads station; it was conveniently located. All in all, I would stay here again.

    I really enjoyed my stay at this particular Hilton, and I would absolutely come back. Overall…read morereally liked the service, amenities and a special shout-out for the breakfast choices. But not a full 5 stars because when my brother and I drove into the carpark of this hotel, realized there were a limited number of parking spaces, and were super lucky to get the last spot. The parking is a bit awkward and just not enough spaces for the number of hotel rooms! Also you have to make sure to register your car license plate number when checking in at reception so you don't get a fine/ or your car towed away. The gal at reception who checked us in was super friendly and if you are a Hilton Gold member, you get free breakfast, but you have to let them know when checking in, so that your room number is on the list. I really liked the design of the bathroom- it's a tiny space, but really well thought out and it didn't feel cramped. The design included a super ingenious shower mechanism whereby the shower door swung inside! Also good quality loo paper was used! The bed was a delight - firm and comfortable. But my friend who was traveling along complained it was too hard for him, so guess that's individual tastes. Breakfast was a treat! They had menu items I had never seen before on a Hilton breakfast menu. One option was Kippers which my brother and I tried out and split. It was basically a very omega rich fish in lemon and butter. The other option was a hot smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on a brioche bun. Gosh - I received a massive helping of this and while tasty, just couldn't finish off the plate! You get a lot of food (& protein) if you decided to get this breakfast menu option. I also really liked the waffles! Loved that the waffle design had the Hilton logo. Staff at reception were great-provided us with map and excellent directions on how to head to the Bristol City center via the Temple Church and Gardens, which are located right behind this hotel. Check-out was smooth and overall really enjoyed the stay at this Hotel. Yelp 168/ 2019

    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!

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!
