I enjoyed my stay at The Clifton Hotel Bristol, especially for its wonderful location near Clifton Village. The comfortable bed and friendly staff enhanced my experience, though I did encounter a few issues like parking troubles and bathroom cleanliness. Overall, it was a decent stay, but a couple of factors made me hesitant to return.

While the hotel offered some great amenities, I found the parking situation a bit concerning, given that the garage felt a bit dingy. The room facilities, like tea and coffee provisions, were generous, though I missed having milk available.

My stay at The Clifton Hotel had its ups and downs. On the plus side, the Wi-Fi was strong, and I appreciated the complimentary coffee, tea, and fresh fruit in the room. However, the overall condition of the hotel felt quite dated, and I experienced a lack of cleaning during my stay, with my room not being serviced properly on the second day. The hotel has potential, but it needs more attention to detail and upkeep to truly impress its guests.

My stay at The Clifton Hotel Bristol was quite a mixed experience. While the staff were friendly and welcoming, the room itself was rather tired and in need of some TLC. The restaurant downstairs offered delicious food, which was a highlight, but the overall atmosphere was quite noisy, making it hard to relax at times.
Rooms
6.0
The room I stayed in was on the top floor and felt dated, with dusty decor and a general sense of being basic. I noticed the bedding had a bit of a musty smell upon arrival, though it was refreshed on the second day. Unfortunately, the bathroom also had some cleanliness issues, including make-up smudges on the door. Overall, it wasn't the most comfortable stay, especially when it came to the TV, which didn’t provide any proper viewing options.

The facilities were quite basic, with some amenities needing attention. Wi-Fi was reliable, and there was complimentary tea and coffee in the room, but the lack of proper means to control the heating left something to be desired.

My experience at The Clifton Hotel was quite mixed. While the location was excellent for exploring Clifton and local attractions, the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired. The staff were friendly and provided helpful assistance, but the cleanliness and maintenance of my room really detracted from my stay, especially as there were issues with heating and overall tidiness that went unaddressed.
Rooms
5.0
My room, while spacious, was poorly lit and had dirty surfaces. I was disappointed that housekeeping skipped cleaning my room entirely on the second day, leaving the bed unmade and no fresh towels or tea/coffee supplied. Additionally, the shower setup resulted in water spilling onto the bathroom floor, which seemed like a potential maintenance issue.
Service

The staff were very helpful and friendly, particularly Maisie at reception, who tried her best to assist me with my room issues. However, their efforts couldn't fully compensate for the problems I encountered during my stay.
Location

The hotel is situated in a lovely area with easy access to both Clifton Village and the city center. It's ideal for anyone wanting to explore Bristol's attractions without needing a car.
Dining

I found the breakfast offerings to be quite limited and somewhat overpriced considering the quality. The cooked breakfast didn't meet my expectations either. It seemed like dinner at the on-site restaurant could be more appealing, but I didn’t get a chance to try it.
Facilities

The hotel provided good Wi-Fi and amenities like tea and coffee in the room, but the overall maintenance issues detracted from any potential comfort. There’s clearly a need for better cleaning and upkeep to improve guest experience.
