“What struck me about this hotel is the genuine warmth of the staff, who clearly treat guests as individuals rather than just room numbers. Rooms, while compact, are kept remarkably clean and comfortable, with thoughtful touches like in-room beverages. It's a place that feels like a good value, set in a pleasant part of Bristol.”
