The hotel offers very comfortable rooms, a nice breakfast, a cozy bar area, and excellent taxi service, although they are not fancy, which is expected for this type of hotel. The view from my room was of a slightly unsettling abandoned car park, but I simply kept the curtain closed; after all, one doesn't anticipate a spectacular view in Bristol city center. Overall, the rooms were decent enough for a pleasant stay.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms finished to a high standard with windows opening onto the pavement, which could be a security concern. The service is exceptionally friendly and helpful, with added perks like luggage storage and a great breakfast. The location is convenient near the station, but some noise from the elevator affects the experience. The dining options vary from disappointing to excellent, and the facilities overall meet expectations.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were modern and spacious with an Apple Mac to keep us entertained, and the bed was super comfortable. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff ready to help at any time. The location was excellent, right opposite the Templer Quays development and Temple Meads Station, perfect for exploring Bristol. However, parking was a bit of a challenge at times.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although a bit small, was functional, and the hotel made a nice gesture by promptly fixing a loose toilet roll holder. The view of an abandoned car park was unsettling, but I didn't expect much in the city center anyway.
