Strangely, considering the view, the room window was grubby, and also the large plate glass windows in the restaurant were ovderdue a clean. We didn't take breakfast as it looked overpriced and the signage suggested it would be overcrowded. Opted for dinner in the restaurant but considered it overpriced, and clearly the kitchen wasn't stocked for the bank holiday weekend as the sea bass and tuna had run out, leaving us disappointed and the other choices limited. NB The Ivy is a short walk away and it was superb the following night.

Superb location at the top of the Avon Gorge overlooking the bridge at the rear of the hotel. The outside terrace bar is perfect for sundown drinks watching the bridge lights come on. At the front, Clifton Village is a short stroll away and is a charming area. We very much appreciated being given a resident's permit to park for free on the street 100 meters away - though we know it was first come first served for these. Friendly and helpful staff - notably the waitress for dinner (a uni student doing drama/performance) Great, spacious walk-in shower with a waterfall head and controls that are easy to follow.

The lighting in the bathroom was really dull. The car park area is very ugly - it is the first impression of the hotel for some so surely it could be brightened up a bit. In a hotel like this you should be able to get service at the bar after hours - we could only buy a small selection of drinks, in cans from reception when we came in at midnight. Breakfast - our scrambled eggs and smoked salmon was cold Breakfast waitresses seemed grumpy and unhappy. In my opinion its overpriced for what it is.

very comfy bed

There is a very strange setup here the hotel is situated overlooking the beautiful the Avon Gorge. It has breathtaking views from inside the restaurant and hotel bar, however all of the outdoor seating is run by apparently a completely separate business?? Meaning you can’t order food from the hotel bar or restaurant and eat it outside?? The hotel areas are mostly clean and well run, unfortunately this cannot be said for the pub. The staff were trying their best but it’s clear there is no effective management overseeing operations. Long waits a the bar to place orders. The stunning views are severely let down by a) old tatty furniture that wasn’t cleaned b) uncleared tables where people had left after having food, various detritus on the floors and chairs cigarette ends, crisp packets, used napkins etc. etc. etc.

Fantastic views, small but comfortable hotel bar area and lovely selection of breakfast offerings with really friendly staff.

The mattress was too soft for me - but also really needed turning or replacing (the head and middle were more 'squashed' than the foot end). There was a fire door to the other section of the building next to my room and someone walked through and let it bang shut at least five times between midnight and six am, waking us. There is a large gap under the door, so you could hear anyone in the corridor or waiting for the lift clearly, which also made it hard to sleep - especially for the dog!

Breakfast was lovely - and provision for the dog excellent. Finding parking was easy.

Very minor but the wall paper was peeling in our room and it felt a bit tired. BUT very comfortable with a brilliant shower!

Beautiful hotel, stunning views and fantastic location.

Room was small and way too hot. We were with a wedding party and we would have loved the cocktail bar to have been opened to residents late. Check out time was too early.

The location and view are the best, the bed was huge and so comfortable. The shower was divine. Breakfast was great

Parking. Although we had a permit, and found a space, it is a little worrying, if you go out in the evening and wondering will there will be a space available when you return later. This is not fault of the hotel, just Bristol. The staff were reassuring on this issue.

Location was stunning. Bed was very comfortable.

Hard to fault really, though it looked like parking (if I'd come in a car) might have been tricky.

Comfy room, great bed and very toasty (warm). I paid extra for a room with a view of the Clifton Bridge. It did have that, but the limited perspective wasn't quite what I imagined. Lovely hotel bar, but small and quickly filled. View from the breakfast room is, erm, gorgeous! Well positioned for visiting Clifton Village.

Inconsistent use of the name of the restaurant and "bistro" without the name, so that it wasn't clear on first arriving that the named restaurant is actually the bistro - but obviously that was soon understood as there is only one restaurant/bistro.

Lovely staff, comfortable bed, air con, "very good breakfast" was very good, availability of parking - it was all very easy and pleasant. The location is great although we chose it for its proximity to family rather than the view etc.

Colour of walls in bedroom too dark. The windows are high up which is a shame as the views were brilliant from downstairs

Position overlooking Clifton bridge and right in Clifton . Good sized bedrooms good reasonable - good breakfast. Bit slow service
