Hotel is in a great position for visiting Bristol and the theatre.
The room was clean and well furnished, and the breakfast was good.
The hotel offers discounted parking at the Millenium car park opposite.
Would edefinitely recommend this hotel.
The property had the facilities required for a stay in the harbourside area, clean and basic.
The only tging I will say is watch the step as you come out of the bathroom pod other than that staff were friendly and had a great time

Clean room, friendly staff, conveniently located and comfy bed/good shower
Great location for the Harbourside and millennium square, reasonable price for hotel and carpark with discount (£10/24 hours) very nearby, room adequate and clean with shower ensuite. I had an Amazon delivery which the reception staff held for me without bother. I'd definitely return.

Clean room and quiet hotel very close to all you need in harbourside - it’s not a luxury room but at the price I paid and for location it was what I needed
I found the bed comfortable, my partner didn't. The welcome and check-in was friendly and efficient, room condition excellent. Location was superb with lots of bars and restaurants on the doorstep.
