    A little hard to find (the signs are small), and the parking garage can't be accessed without a fob from reception, with very limited (and not free) street parking nearby.

    Lovely hotel with extremely friendly, helpful staff. Quiet (I was there mid-week, might be different at weekends), pleasant location, good breakfast options, nice room. Very handy for Clifton Village.

    The bathroom, in particular the shower, was not the cleanest. However, I did appreciate the amenities within the room.

    Staff all appeared very friendly and accommodating. It was great to have the bar and restaurant attached with easy access.

    The hotel is in need of a makeover, but for the price it's acceptable, although we stayed on a Sunday. I'm not sure the room would be worth the price of a Saturday night stay.

    Staff are all lovely. Hotel is in a good location for Clifton and Bristol City centre.

    The bathroom could have done with a bit of upgrade as the skirting board had flake of paint coming off and the back of the bathroom door had cracks. The light above the sink did not work. Separately, while the bed seems absolutely clean, the sheet had a couple of faint yellow stains. I did not say anything on the night as I came back late. It would be helpful to make 2 things clear for first time visitors: 1. The hotel name is displayed as cafe and not Hotel Clifton from the road; second that the parking is on first come first serve and that you have to pay for It (I may have missed that information but it was unclear to me when I booked).

    Perfect location; very comfortable bed; excellent to have snacks and hot drinks in the room; The staff was really helpful

    Thin wall meant I could hear the guy next door on the phone to his girlfriend/wife and that was a bit graphic. Shower was 2ft sq so hardly any room to move in it. Parking tricky to find though actually quite close. Breakfast on weekend started too late.

    The room was far too hot and the window couldn't be opened. The double bed was the smallest one I have ever seen. We had to get up in the early hours to take the quilt out of the cover, as it was too hot.

    Good service in the hotel and the restaurant downstairs. Good facilities in the room.

    It is an old building, there were little TLC points in the room, there was a leak in the shower. There was no air conditioning, it was a very hot day, had the windows open, we were on the 3rd floor so no noice. Something to be mindful of when booking during hot weather. They did however provide a fan.

    The pub downstairs was really nice, had a Sunday road which was very good. staff were great.

    The soap dispenser had something on it, so we didn’t use that. The corridors had a strange smell, but the room was fine.

    Ideally located for Clifton and was a great size room. The bed was really comfy.
