This was a super cute place to stay in Bristol...which was also one of our favorite spots on our UK…read moretrip. The rooms were probably the most nicely decorated of anywhere I stayed in the UK on this trip. There is a small kitchen downstairs where you can pay for breakfast. The staff are very friendly. I think the best part was definitely the extremely convenient location. The gated entrance to the hotel basically drops right off at st nicholas market...an outdoor hallway basically with permanent food stands. We ate here all 3 days in Bristol and the food is super delicious and affordable.

DO NOT STAY HERE. It…read moreis a scam and they will scour through the tenancy agreement to try and squeeze more money out of you. I stayed for 3 very long weeks at 13 Arlington Villas, and wouldn't suggest you stay there. The place is absolutely filthy. When I arrived there were dead bugs on my plates and strangers' hair on the beds. There are 15 bedrooms, some with couples in, which is a lot of people for a couple of bathrooms and showers. Almost every day the floors in the toilet were awash with urine and the kitchen was too dirty to cook in. There was frequently raw meat left on the counters or on the floor, and pots would go left unwashed for days and days at a time. People are noisy, the sound proofing is bad and the customer service with the people in the office is terrible. I had broken furniture that remained unfixed the whole time I was there (I flagged it up on the first day) and theyre just very unresponsive. When I moved out I vacuumed my room and cleaned the room as best I could without cleaning products (the cleaning cupboard is locked) and still got charged £30 for a cleaning fee. An absolute joke as the room was dirty when I arrived and the rest of the house was absolutely filthy. Avoid this place if you can!

Nice neighborhood location within short walking distance of restaurants and longer walking (or…read moredriving, for those who prefer) distance of Clifton Village, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Zoo, and Cabot Tower. Free parking behind B&B (rare for Clifton and Bristol). Breakfast buffet items include yoghurt, fresh fruit, croissants, cheese, cereal, juice, tea, coffee and the ability to order (without charge) a full English breakfast. Very nice. Well worth it to pay extra 20 GBP for one of the larger rooms, which are huge! Smaller upstairs rooms can be somewhat cramped, depending on specific room (our friends had a smaller one). Clean with modern bathrooms. Friendly service. Our one issue was that the towel warmers are extremely hot and centrally operated. Given the record heat during our stay, it was unfortunate that neither they, nor a radiator in the hallway near the B&B entry, could be turned off without having a manager come to the premises (it was a weekend).

I had an interview here and arrived early so helped myself to a cup of coffee at the café situated…read moreon the ground floor. I was immediately struck by the bohemian, laid-back style décor. It was the last thing I expected from the Clifton Hotel. There were huge modern pictures on the wall, beaded candle-holders, purple netting drapery and massive sofas with mountains of cushions. It reminded me more of a student bedroom than a hotel café. The place had a Moroccan feel to it and I passed the time looking around the café as there were so many things to look at - attention to detail was definitely on the designer's agenda. Free one hour wifi with any drink was a good sale pitch, as well as the extremely cheap prices. Worth a visit even if you aren't staying at the hotel.

One of them even spoke to me at length about the Hemingway novel I was reading and offered me an insight which I brought up the next day in my seminar to rapturous applause from tutor and students alike! I can't guarantee that all the staff will have a knowledge of Literature, but I can guarantee reasonable prices, delicious milkshakes (Vanilla is a very safe bet), freshly baked crumbly croissants and an unpretentious welcoming atmosphere.

Before arriving in bristol i communicated with the owner of this guest house via email and stated…read moremy time of arrival to which was responded and agreed upon. A 10 pound deposit was required to confirm the booking. We arrived by train and discovered that the guesthouse is further away from the centre than we expected it to be. On arrival i was left waiting on the doorstep ringing the doorbell. It seemed the owner of this guesthouse was incapable of answering her mobile phone and even hung up on me at one point. 45 minutes later she appeared at the end of the drive without acknowledging us and went next door with a neighbour/ friend. 2 minutes later she came back and i asked her why she was late. She told us she had picked up her daughter from nursery and blamed us for not coming later. while entering the premesis i took the opportunity to ask her why she did not answer her mobile phone and she got offended by such a question, shouting in my face, calling me rude and telling me to f**k off. We headed to the tourist information desk in town for help finding emergency accomodation. I explained the situation and was told they are not even on the list of guesthouses in their database. We managed to book a lovely guesthouse closer to the city and, although i did not manage to stay at the glanville, i am now aware there are better located guesthouses and better guesthouse owners for the same amount of money.

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.
