This place has been transformed from a house into a 10 room guest house but with virtually no health and safety measures in place or faulty/unusable ones.
The rooms, themselves, are ok but small but, again, no PAT Testing done, no fire exits highlighted etc.
The showers are filthy and poorly maintained (more water comes out of the hose than reaches the head).
All in all avoid at all costs.
Fire doors are wedged open and the only fire blanket is very high up.

I stayed here for one night over the weekend, and unfortunately, it was not a pleasant experience.

The sofa in my room was completely unusable — it was basically just wood with no proper cushioning, making it impossible to sit on. It definitely needs replacing. To make matters worse, its awkward placement meant I accidentally got my foot caught on the corner, which hurt badly.

The hotel is located right on a main road, so it was noisy throughout both the day and night, making it difficult to relax or sleep. The curtains had large, noticeable stains, and the whole property felt quite dark and unwelcoming.

The bathroom was small, not very clean, and below the standard I’d expect for an average hotel. Overall, it felt more like a large, basic lodging facility with multiple rooms for rent rather than a place designed for guests to enjoy their stay or vacation.

I would not recommend this property unless significant improvements are made or prices charged are very lower than the market and you are on a tight budget, as otherwise it's not worth it.

The place was in the perfect spot for the reason why we stayed but the bathrooms were disgusting and dirty ... Alot of stuff was broke. They was rubbish already in the room when we went in so it's hadn't been cleaned

Our experience with this Airbnb was incredibly disappointing and resulted in a complete waste of our booking fee. We booked this property for a planned trip, with an estimated arrival time slightly before midnight. Upon calling the host to inform them of our late arrival, we were met with an unwelcoming and inflexible response.

We were told that the check-in cutoff was strictly 10 PM, a policy that was nowhere clearly stated in the listing description or house rules. The host expressed clear dissatisfaction with our arrival time, making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Given the late hour and the host's unaccommodating attitude, we felt we had no choice but to forgo our booking and return home. Cancelling at that point was not a viable option, resulting in a total loss of our booking fee and significant inconvenience.

While we understand hosts may have preferred check-in times, this specific 10 PM limitation should have been clearly and prominently displayed in the listing. The lack of transparency regarding this policy is unacceptable. Furthermore, the host's communication was far from courteous, adding to our frustration.

We strongly advise potential guests to inquire about late check-in policies before booking this property. The lack of clear communication and the host's inflexibility made this a truly terrible experience. We would not recommend this listing to anyone.

Does what you want

When you book a room like this you want to sleep, wash and go. The Clift Guest House is clean, the beds were good, our reception was helpful and polite. It's close to some decent eating places (and the football ground - great to hear a crowd!). I would rebook if I had the same requirements

The reception staff was friendly and showed us to our room. The rooms are quite small with low ceilings. There was a kettle in the room and access to a kitchen. Although there wasn’t a lot of cutlery and utensils. The furniture wasn’t too bad, but the condition of the desk was not great. It was a good stay but I think the lack of free parking and the sounds from the main road made it hard to relax.

The property is quite at a distance from city center of Bristol. It's about 33 min walking distance. The room itself was nice and clean with all the necessary things needed ; but the kitchen left me very concerned as there was a dead fly on the cooking stove.

BEDBGUG ALERT!!

A nice cheap and cheerful hotel, small room but clean & tidy (I thought). Was entirely happy with my stay until I woke up on the second (& last morning) with approx 20 bedbug bites!
4 days later, they are only just starting to fade.

I was there for 3 nights, it's quiet friendly but the door was open all the time and people who leave in there bring a friends and they are drunk, eat all the breakfast, I wasn't sure if it is normal but not make sense to me, if i have to go to Bristol, I will try another place better for the same price!
was little sour, too much for the little room, housekeeping not appear there since i arrived no cleaner towel, you can't walk to town, is too far, walk access is hard if you walk, is other side of the river. not have local shop around to buy any drink or food if you need it, i'm not recommend it to my friends.

How did this guest house get an excellent rating? The room was small and cramped the carpet needed renewing.There was no bath towel and no one around to ask for one. I won't be staying again. Not worth the price.

Big mistake, this facility should have been renovated 10 years ago. I do understand why they have a “ no refund on cancellation policy “ . Dirty, mould in bathroom, carpet that “sticks” to your feet, old garbage in closet from former guest. Room smelled of stale old beer. Damp bed liner and a thin chap foam mattress with no support.
