The hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms weren't as clean as expected, but they did have a large TV at the end of the bed. However, I couldn't connect my laptop to watch Prime, which was disappointing. On the bright side, the shower was huge and very powerful, with plenty of hot water and good soap available. The location was great for exploring Bristol, right in the middle of town, with easy check-in and comfy sleep, although the room only had a mattress topper, not the whole mattress.

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the modern quay area, perfect for those wanting to explore Bristol. The rooms were a bit damp and had a strong paint smell. However, the cooling system was a luxury in the hot weather. The service was a bit preoccupied with mobile phones, but the staff were friendly. Dining was good value with plenty of options, though the prices seemed high. The location is superb, directly opposite the planetarium, and parking is convenient for £16 for 24 hours.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay like a kettle and tea/coffee, but the initial room offered had a strong smell of smoke, which was off-putting. The room was hot, perhaps too much for my liking, but on the other side, it felt a bit 'cold' in terms of the atmosphere.

The hotel is right in the heart of Bristol, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city with plenty of attractions, bars, and restaurants nearby. While the rooms were clean and spacious, the noise from the bars could be disturbing late into the night. The service had moments of friendliness but also instances of rudeness. Dining options varied in quality, and the location was ideal for both leisure and business travelers.

The hotel is situated right by the harbour, encompassed by charming restaurants and offering a clean, comfy stay. The friendly staff are eager to assist, though the dining options might be lacking in variety. Being near a beautiful harbourside and amidst a bustling square is definitely a plus, even though Wi-Fi comes at an extra cost.

The hotel was really nice and clean, just above several bars but faced a gym opposite. The rooms were very warm, and unfortunately, I couldn't have the Aircon on because it dried my throat out. The location was superb for the harbour and all that happens there, ideal for exploring Bristol and very close to restaurants. The dining experience was good but lacked sufficient seating in the dining area, which forced us to sit near the reception on a low table. The service was a mix of helpfulness and rudeness, with staff struggling due to high demand and being unable to accommodate everyone.

The hotel is in a great location, right in the city center within walking distance of the cathedral and city hall. The rooms were clean and nicely equipped, but the breakfast was not included.

I was very disappointed with the ship cabin-style bathroom made from plastic and the unmade bed, even though we left our room early. However, the room was nice and comfortable overall despite the noise outside during weekends. The location is brilliant, being right in the center of Bristol near both the nightlife district and museums. The dining experience was average due to limited options, but the hotel had great value for money.

The hotel had a funky vibe, but the room was not up to par due to a pungent smell and uncomfortable bed. The service was a mix of friendliness and a chip on the shoulder.

The hotel's location near Bristol Harbourside was perfect for us, as it was central and within walking distance to many attractions. The service was a mix – some staff members were brief, while others were incredibly friendly and helpful. The dining experience offered a good selection, but tables were not always cleared promptly. The rooms were a bit of a mixed bag, as they were too warm, and there was a drain smell in the shower room.
