Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Clifton Hotel Bristol is appreciated for its excellent location, just a short walk from the city center and close to Clifton, the university, shops, and restaurants, with a bus stop right outside. Guests commonly enjoy the comfortable beds and having a kettle in the room for tea and coffee. Some guests have noted that rooms can be small and lack air conditioning, however, many find the functional room setup with amenities like a minibar and the availability of fresh fruit in reception a plus. The underground car park is another convenient feature for those traveling by car.

Quiet stay

I found the staff quite helpful regarding parking details. They offered us a room in a quieter area. A fridge in the room was a welcome addition. It was helpful for storing medication.
The shower temperature was inconsistent. It fluctuated between very hot and cool. It made showering unpleasant.
