Clifton Bristol|1.09km from Bristol Zoo Gardens
Stayed here for two nights in September 2022. The staff are very friendly. The hotel is on the edge of Clifton, which appears to be a very affluent area. A twenty minute walk will take to to the Clifton suspension bridge to take in some lovely views. The bridge visitor centre and observation tower are well worth visiting. The number 8 bus which you get around the corner takes you into Bristol city centre in around 15/20 minutes, so all in all, a good location. The hotel offers a substantial free cooked and buffet breakfast which is why I am awarding it three stars. You will need to book a time slot. Now the not so good…………… Our room was on the ground floor and needs a refurb. A rotten window frame, mould in the shower and on the bathroom ceiling, a hole in the net curtain, an uneven wobbly floor and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling were not a great look. The bed and towels were clean, but despite the fact I was there for two nights and a couple of small towels were left on the floor, they weren’t changed, even though someone had clearly been into our room to provide biscuits for our tea and coffee (which i add, was a lovely gesture). Neither was our bed made. Now I realise the management will say if we had complained, we may have been moved, but that’s not the point. That room (room 11), would have been provided to another guest or guests if we had been moved. It just needs a refurb and then perhaps the next guest would give the hotel four stars. Really enjoyed Bristol. First time I have visited, but found it really interesting. Lots to see and do and the people are very friendly.

Channings Hotel by Greene King Inns
3.5/560 Reviews
Clifton
Channings hotel is a lovely period building situated in Clifton, a smart area of Bristol. It is close to the Suspension Bridge, the shops and bars, and a short walk into the city. Our room was small but had all we needed. The staff were excellent. Friendly and helpful and dealt with everything efficiently. The breakfast was good, as was the pub food. Great value in an expensive area. Car parking can be tricky.

Booked one of the Mews houses for us, our daughter and her boyfriend to stay in on the night of the night of her graduation. It was perfect. 2 bedrooms plenty large enough, both can be set up with large double bed or twins. One is ensuite and there's a separate bathroom. Robes, slippers and L'Occitane toiletries provided. The bedrooms and utility room are downstairs with a good sized open plan living area upstairs. Fairly well equipped kitchen as far as I could tell. ( we didn't cook but I checked). Furnishings and fittings are obviously fairly new and everything is good quality and the whole place was spotless. In short we absolutely couldn't fault it. Our only regret? That we weren't staying longer. For anyone looking for accommodation near the University of Bristol it's close and I'd absolutely recommend this place

Good standard of accomodation - studio with plenty of room for two. It was clean and had everything we needed. Plus the added bonus of actually being able to open windows! Easy to find and about 25 mins walk from the main centre. But very near Whiteladies Road with a fantastic choice of bars and places to eat, plus a couple of small supermarkets. Free parking available at rhe back. Booking was easy, communication Good and efficient. Checking in was contactless and easy. Check out 11.00 am which was also a bonus. Only issue was I asked if we could leave our car in the carpark on check out day, knowing that folk couldn't check in before 4pm. I was told that we could but we would be charge £5.00 !an hour!! Needless to say we.didnt! ! Overall though, we would stay again!!

I booked a 2 bed apartment for 2 nights in January as I was booked in to the Spire Hospital for an operation. The apartment looked just like the photos, it was easy to access and it was clean. We booked a parking space as the on-road parking is busy. While I initially thought it was expensive on arrival it was apparent that paying three additional cost is necessary. We had a contactless check in and all of the information we needed was sent to me well in advance and it was accurate which meant check in was fast. I had a 2 bed apartment with both bedrooms being double rooms and my room had an en-suite which was super useful when I was discharged from the hospital. Both bedrooms had TVs and large wardrobes. There is an ironing board and iron and fans. The curtains in both rooms are heavy blackout curtains, there was not a slither of light getting through those curtains. The main bathroom was large with a shower, bath and sink. The livening space is an open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen. The kitchen was well equipped and was really handy for me so that I could eat at 4am because I was unable to eat or drink after 6am. It was also really useful when I got back from the hospital so that I could heat up some soup but it enabled mom to cook herself an evening meal. Everything we needed was readily available and clean. The dining table is a lovely round glass table and the seating area had two large leather sofas. One sofa had rips and tears but it was covered by a lovely blanket. The decor is simple but beautiful. There was some noise from the apartment upstairs but it stopped around 10pm. The location of the apartment was great for what I needed, it was literally 5 minute drive from the hospital. It is in a lovely area which was quiet and made me feel happier at leaving mom in a strange space while I was in hospital. The apartment is a short walk from the high street and we walked it several times over the few days we were there for food and drinks. I have been to Bristol a few times and love the city. We loved our stay in Clifton and I will be back to see more of Clifton and I would like to stay here again the next time I visit. For a change, the apartment is exactly as stated and shown in the pictures.

Breakfast is very good, bread and fruit juice buffet, as well as a pure English breakfast, free order, taste very good! Drinking tea to tea cups is very exquisite, a breakfast out of a holiday feel! A family of three, asked if they would like an extra bed when they arrive at the hotel? We didn't add it, so we gave us the largest double bed room. The room was not as soundproof as the comment said. Very quiet, right next to the suspension bridge. This is also the hotel we were most satisfied with for a month in Bristol!
