Lovely hotel, shame about the Aircon....
Really nice place, helpful friendly]staff, really nice room (upgraded from original - bonus!), but Aircon didn't bring room temperature below 26 degrees even when set to 19 all night.
Booked for Aircon as much as anything else so was a bit of a letdown as a poor nights sleep was had, being as it was heatwave time!
Would go back for sure as otherwise great.

Lovely decor and good location but noise carried from the “lobby” to the second floor, making it very noisy. Unconscious guests coming back late and very rowdy, couple with terrible pillows made sleeping hard. The room next door also let out a constant beeping noise that was heard across the entire 2nd floor (so said another guests). I really wanted to like it there but not sure I’d stay again.

If you like the Bristol Vibe you’ll love this Hotel. Friendly and helpful staff.
Easy check in and out. Trendy bar/lounge area and bedroom very nicely appointed with very comfortable bed and pillows. Lovely en suite and nice toiletries and fluffy towels/ dressing gowns.
Floors could have been cleaner as could
Bar area.
Convenient parking 5 mins walk away at Cabot Circus multi storey. Useful to note that the Hotel Entrance is on Cave Street ( off Portland Square) Not Portland Square itself.

The room was beautiful and really well appointed but there was an event hosted in the hotel until 4am and it was very loud so we couldn’t sleep. Staff seemed very overstretched so it was hard to find anyone to check-in/checkout or help with queries. No one manning the front desk so anyone could just wander in via the bar and go up to the rooms which felt unsafe

Trendy, cool, but little sus.

Short: recommend for short lazy trips, particularly for couples. Less suitable for extended stays, particularly working holidays.

Long: while overall lovely, there were multiple things which were a little off and dismissed as either quirkiness of an “artist hotel”, an old building, or “standard practice”. However, as some greatly experienced with the hotel industry, these are more purposeful misdirections. There were many, but a few include:

- the hotel is not “reasonably” accessible, and the elevator does not serve all floors. Keep in mind if you have mobility issues or significant luggage.

- difficult to work if you are taking a “remote working holiday”. The “laptop work surface” in the rooms are just tiny low coffee tables with trendy big chairs that you’ll have to hunch over and your back will hurt in short order.

- their LOVELY library is not a dedicated space, as it gets rented out and therefore can’t always be used by the guests (an issue compounded by the issue noted above),

- the bar adjacent space is an alternative workspace for the above, but it is basically in a corridor slave and has loud-ish music, making concentration and calls difficult.

Nice old world hotel.

Hotel in an old historic property. Lots of quirky artifacts in the room which is great for travelers. Suite was spacious. Only comment is that suite 11 on the second floor was above the basement bar and the music was loud until midnight when it closed. Upside was that the music was pretty good and I had jet lag so not really an issue.

No parking at the hotel - on street parking only. Machines were not working and was not able to set up account to pay by mobile as it wouldn’t send SMS to Canadian mobile number.

Fun design lead hotel that felt very homely and comfortable in a mid century imdustrial hipster style. Friendly and efficient staff. Food was good although a pasta option would have been welcome. Top notch overall

Lovely quirky place to stay, room was beautiful and spacious. The bed was super comfy and the pillows were out of this world, although the bed frame was squeakier than Stuart Little getting murdered by a cat. Also work force outside was a rude awakening but that’s not the hotels fault. Really pleased we found this little gem

Good, but probably better if you go direct!

I recently stayed at this charming hotel. It was a convenient location for city shopping and an impeccably clean and tidy environment. The Victorian, slightly industrial decor was an absolute delight, adding a unique character to the place. The staff were consistently friendly and polite, contributing positively to the overall experience. Additionally, the food and drink prices were reasonable, making dining in the hotel a pleasant and affordable option.

However, there was a notable downside. Upon checking in, we were informed that we had been allocated 'The Shoe Box Room' due to booking through an agent, specifically originally with Expedia, rather than directly with the hotel. While the room itself met our needs, this practice felt somewhat condescending, particularly since we were paying a higher rate compared to some top hotels in Bristol's trendy Clifton area.

Overall, the hotel's positives outweigh this minor issue. I hope the management reconsiders this approach to ensure all guests feel equally valued, regardless of how they book their stay.

We booked in for a weekend to celebrate our anniversary and the hotel was a surprise to my wife. Lovely interior and funky room designs.

We had a couple of issues with the room but the staff did all they could to resolve the issues. When they couldn’t move us because they were fully booked they did all they could to make up for it and we couldn't fault their apologetic manner and efforts they went to to make up for it.

We will look forward to staying at other hotels within the group. Thank you Floss and the Team!

A real gem of a find!

Loved the lay out of the hotel. Very quirky and so very different to your normal/regular hotel. Great bar and food! Good part of town. Will definitely stay again!
Only downside, no parking. But Cabot Circus car park just 5 mins walk. £17.80 for 24 hours. Costly, but safe place to park. Dont bother with JustPark app. It is cheaper, but will send you to dodgy neighbourhoods.

Perfect!

I stay in hotels a lot for work and this is by far one of my favourites. Usually I just expect a clean and functional room but I felt so cosy and at home, the interior was beautiful and there were so many lovely little touches.

In terms of practicality the hotel is in a good central location, it was easy to get parked using the RingGo app outside. Check in was quick, the room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. Will definitely prioritise this hotel for upcoming Bristol work trips.

Curtains to bedroom were poor . As an old building not easy to negotiate stairs to room. Quirky and different having stayed before but prices have increased significantly
