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.
