We stayed here as part of an overnight trip to Bristol to see a friend’s gig at a local pub in Keynsham. The hotel bar area was quite busy when we arrived so the reception was unmanned. The young lady who checked us in was friendly, informative and helpful and gave us our key and told us how to access our room.
The weather was really hot so the windows in our room were already opened and it felt cool inside which was welcomed.
We had to leave the windows open all night due to the heat, this made for a very noisy night’s sleep due to the road noise from the main road to the front of the hotel. Nobody’s fault, just one of those things to be aware of if you get a room at the front of the hotel.
I travel a lot with work, and I’ve always said that if a hotel can get the basics right, the rest is acceptable. The loft room was comfortable enough although a little smaller than I was expecting and the bed was comfortable and it was clean and tidy, with towels and coffee making facilities to hand. My pet gripe with hotel rooms is bathrooms… The one in our room was clean but the shower was tiny and the shower head wouldn’t stay in a fixed position.
Further pluses, they have obviously put a lot of thought and effort into the décor throughout the hotel. Nice touches too like the communal fridge on the landing with chilled milk, water, and oat milk. The breakfast was great, we both had the vegan option which was delicious.
On the whole, not too bad.
