Lovely hotel…but the aircon unit was very noisy and kept me awake most of the night.
I asked for a discount to reflect this, but because I had been granted a late checkout apparently that was sufficient.
I was also disappointed to find the 1 hour use of the spa wasn’t included in the room price, it wasn’t obvious on the hotels.com website.
I won’t stay there again, it’s significantly more expensive than other hotels in the area, but my stay didn’t reflect that.

I emailed the team advising them it was my daughter’s birthday and they went the extra mile, she had a room upgrade and was also greeted with a birthday cake and a box of chocolates. She was so surprised and delighted. She was so impressed we booked a stay too.

This place is run like a hostel, not a quality hotel. It looks a lot like a hostel too. Staff kinda run around doing nothing and they are often not at the desk. Such as when I checked in. The amenities are less than basic. Pillows are flat and have hard lumps. Lift is slow and small and corridors are also difficult to navigate with luggage. Staff leaves cleaning stuff all over the hallways so you walk out and it looks like you’re in someone’s shop, not a clean and tidy hotel. The cleaned my room but left no toilet paper. Twice! And they took so long to bring toilet paper I had to go downstairs and across the restaurant to the public toilet. They don’t refill mini bar and half the things listed are not there. Restaurant service is also pretty normal.

3 - In the new room - the noise outside was terrible - nightclubs, street cleaning kept going on for all night & early morning. Impossible to sleep. Need complete sound-proof.

Pretty poor for a hotel that claims to be luxurious / comfortable - neglecting the very basics like above. Large rooms, luxurious furniture and fancy espresso machines were no use if the noise keeps you awake.

The location was excellent in terms of proximity to shops/bars/restaurants. As it's a City Centre Hotel you do expect to hear Street noise and music so it was surprising that ear plugs aren't provided.
The air conditioning looked like it needed a clean/servicing. It was inadequate and had I stayed more than one night I would have requested an engineer.
The bed was incredibly comfortable and the linen felt clean and high quality, which is what I expect from a Harbour Hotel.
The bathroom was also very clean with a really good shower.
The room itself felt very dated, the furniture made it feel cramped and the layout made no sense. The sofa needed a deep clean, it had numerous dubious stains and we avoided using it for this reason. I'd prearranged some sparkling wine for the room for a Birthday surprise but sadly this wasn't there, however we did receive some chocolates, which was nice. Overall, the room we were in really needs an overhaul - fresh carpets and furniture as it was underwhelming for the room type (junior suite) and made the room feel dirty.

When booking it says hotel comes with pool and spa etc. when checking in your asked if you want to use it and what time. when you arrive to use the spa your asked if you would like a locker. So you can understand my shock while leaving the spa after using it I was told to pay £10. No where while booking does it say you have to pay extra, only that the room and hotel include these amenities. Which if you have to pay extra after booking I feel as if I was miss sold. Espially as I had a nicer room booked at hotel du vin around the corner. The rest of the hotel needs some TLC of alreast a fresh coat of paint. And I had not once but twice get a new room key as it wouldn’t work. First time after using the spa and being in robe and slippers, second time late at night and having to wait for some one to come to reception.

Staff were amazing and very helpful but room and gym very dated and tired. Carpet was stained and furniture like bed side table has tatty corners.The windows in the room didn’t open, and no natural light as room faced a wall and windows were frosted so it felt very dark and miserable even in the day. Limescale building up on edge of shower doors. Floors in communal areas very dirty. Treadmills in gyms were not working properly and had ripped belts. In all not what you’d expect for the level of hotel but the location is excellent however.

Evening meal was not great either although the service was wonderful but they had no mussels available, no non sparkling wine list in the drinks menu and cod dish was very over salted.

Overpriced and not worth it

I stayed for my sister’s wedding. I have never spent so much on a hotel room so was excited to be somewhere I thought would be really posh. I was disappointed and will not stay again. I tried to check in slightly early so I could check in before the wedding. I was dismissed quite quickly and told they were busy. No effort was made to take my number to let me know when it was ready. I also wasn’t told the latest time I could arrive. I left the wedding reception and came back to check in and was glad I had as the desk was unmanned when the wedding finished.
The bed was comfy but the room was tiny. There was no natural light as the windows were darkly frosted. It made it very difficult to see to apply makeup. The coffee machine needed setting up with water and there was no jug in the room to do this. Throughout the hotel, the carpets were covered with stains and everything was looking a little tatty. Throughout the stay there were also piles of clean and dirty towels and sheets throughout the corridors. I would have expected - for the price of the room - to have a decent breakfast included so was shocked to discover I could only have a continental breakfast and had to pay extra for a cooked one. I did pay for this and it was quite small and I needed to eat again quite shortly after. My parents were also staying in the hotel for the wedding and were appalled when they got back after the reception to find human faces outside the lift on their floor. Would not recommend at all.

Stayed at HHB over the bank holiday weekend. Cannot fault the staff, they are a credit to the hotel. Decor is lovely and the spa is great albeit compact. £10 pp per hour to use the spa but the treatments are considerably more expensive so we didn’t have any.

Our main gripe was with the room. There were two rooms that were stationed on the other side of the bar so you had to walk through the bar to get to them. Our room was up a flight of stairs and just felt quite lacking. It was quite small, had no natural light because there wasn’t an outside window (only a window with frosted glass to an event room), and we had no hand soap for the entire duration. There were multiple doors to the room which was needed because of the noise from the bar downstairs. The nespresso machine in the room was great, until it flooded the bedside table whilst we were out and ruined my phone charger. We got asked by the staff at the end if we’d used anything from the mini bar, when our room didn’t even come with one. All in all, a lovely hotel with lots of potential, but felt like we’d been punished a bit with a subpar room because we’d booked through a third party.

Bath robes and slippers are in the room to use.

Lovely break away

From the moment we arrived the staff were very friendly and helpful, they upgraded our room to superior which was so lovely! They even helped take bags to our room and showed us the way there. I liked that someone stayed on reception late at night and asked for peoples room number and names for added security because it is in the middle of a busy area.
The room was very clean, huge bed was super comfy, mini fridge stocked although we didn’t have anything but nice to have the option.
We didn’t eat here because we’re vegan and there weren’t many options but that wasn’t a priority because Bristol is full of vegan restaurants.
So the only negative thing is that very late at night you can hear people sorting the bins out very loudly, but it wasn’t really an issue. Also the maid we bumped into was really nice and friendly too and done a great job on the room.
Everything was amazing and would definitely stay again.

Bristol stay

We have stayed in most of the harbour hotels in salcombe, st Ives, sidmouth etc and always found them to be very good. Clean, attentive service and facilities. Bristol in comparison does not compare and feels like any other city centre hotel. There were stains on a lot of the carpets. The place la led the clean vibrant atmosphere of the harbour hotels. We were told there was a charge to use the pool which we never have before and it was tiny so didn’t bother. The complimentary gin again was there but there was no tonic so you had to pay to have the tonic again that’s never happened before.
Having stayed at salcombe beach harbour hotel before this where the guy collected our bags from the car park and to our room. Here we struggled ourselves upto the room. There was just no attention by staff to detail or going the extra mile. All products were nearly empty in the rooms and not replenished. No topping up of tea coffee biscuits etc on day 2. It feels very much like guests are left to sort it out themselves. Maybe relying on wedding bookings instead of guest services. Not to the high standard we come to expect from the harbour hotels and would not return.

Overpriced and everything is extra!

We arrived and were told that breakfast was not included, even though I booked a room with breakfast. The spa which was a big sell of this property was also an additional charge. The staff was rude as we watched the person before us check in and was offered also sorts of perks… we were soaked from the rain and after the front desk helped the person she asked if she could grab her jacket as she was cold so made us wait even longer. (Mind we were dripping wet) also had I known the spa and breakfast were not included before the booking I would have stayed somewhere else. As I booked a non-refundable room I couldn’t cancel when they notified about the spa charge 24 hours before arrival.

Disappointing that there was an additional charge for the spa facilities, for only an hour slot. Shower wasn’t working by the sauna/steam room, which meant you had to keep walking back out of the spa and through the reception area to take a shower (made me doubt the cleanliness of the spa). Gym was very small/basic with limited equipment and lots of things broken. Staff were a little defensive. I don’t drink so didn’t make use of the complementary gin in the room, but coffee pods in the room were nice. Overall not great value for money, but the location was good, and room was comfortable and clean

Great location. The hotel is nice but we found our deluxe room was too hot (air con only went down to 18 degrees but didn’t seem to cool the room at all) we couldn’t keep the window open without propping it up with a toilet roll. The bed was very comfortable and the Bramley toiletries were lovely but it would have been a nice touch to have a bedside clock in the room. The elevator and dining room floor could do with a really good clean. The bar closed early and staff were more concerned about setting up for breakfast which was a shame when we returned to the hotel for drinks after seeing an evening show. Not really worth £265 per night in our opinion. Minor point but if you have coffee pods in the room it would be helpful to have a menu as to the type of coffees to chose from.

I had a lovely stay at the Harbour hotel. I arrived later than hoped after a long, stressful train journey. The two ladies on reception greeted me warmly and one took me through to the lift and gave me a little history of the building. Sadly, I didn’t have time to experience the spa facilities but if I’d have been there for longer, I definitely would. The restaurant looked really nice. My room was gorgeous. The bed was huge and very comfortable. There was a complimentary gin waiting for me, which was welcome. The bathroom was clean and modern with very nice toiletries provided. The hotel was close to lots of bars and restaurants and wasn’t far to walk to the docks. I really enjoyed my stay and would like to go back to spend a couple of nights there when I’m not working! It was reasonably priced too. Many thanks.

Wow! Our new ‘Bristol’ Hotel!

This was our first stay at this hotel, although we have stayed in many hotels in Bristol over the years, this one was recommended by a friend. So, we gave it a go, and so glad we did! At the price point, it is certainly the best we have stayed in anywhere in the city! The booking was easy and all requests were accommodated flawlessly. Check in was an absolute doddle, and the staff were genuinely kind, funny and welcoming. The location was smack bang in the middle of town, within an easy walk of the Bristol Hippodrome and the Colston Hall (now renamed), so great for gigs and shows! The room was fabulous, quirky but luxurious, and the bed was seriously one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. I really cannot praise this place highly enough! In fact, we’re going back in a few weeks!

Great hotel in historic building

Lovely hotel in a beautiful historic building. Great central location. We felt we had 'splashed out' for a suite so I was expecting the room to be a bit bigger or have a separate sitting area. It was a lovely room, but maybe not worth the step up in price. The spa is really good, had everything I would look for
The general finish is all to a really high standard. I was a bit surprised though to find the carpet on the 1st floor where we stayed is fairly dirty. Wouldn't normally care, but since it's a proper high end hotel, it should probably be addressed

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. On Friday night they allowed us in to the hotel bar even though there was no one else there. The building is very unique and can feel a bit like a maze but it adds to the charm of the hotel.

Perfect stay

This hotel was perfect and a treat whilst staying alone after visiting my daughter. Felt like a little bit of luxury in the middle of a busy city.

Brilliant hotel with

This was our third stay at Bristol Harbour Hotel. It’s a wonderful hotel overall but this stay was just not exceptional like the other experiences we have had there.

The room was great, a deluxe room with incredible bed and great facilities. There was no view as we were on a different side of the hotel as previous but that was OK.

Room service cooked breakfast was hot and brilliantly cooked but missed items such as toast that we ordered and there was no butter or jam for the croissants, condiments or Ketchup.

When we arrived the state of our floor was not good enough with the days laundry strewn across the floor, including in front of the lift. As we had 4 rooms booked at huge expense with guests we invited this was a real shame as we weren’t checking in early.

Overall a reasonable stay, we would come back but on this occasion it was just not as amazing as before.

Charges for spa

The hotel room was nice, but I don't agree with charging guests to use the spa facilities when it is the main attraction of booking this hotel.

Bristol visit

Extremely noisy due to being in city centre. We were in close vicinity of the local bars so at 4am all the beer barrels were being delivered and empties being taken away. Went on all morning.

No mattress protectors on beds which i was quite shocked at and matress very stained.

Booked the hotel for a nice weekend away. The images online completely missold the place. They suggested there was a spa, but what they had was a tiny converted basement with extremely low vaulted ceilings, freezing pool, broken steam room and broken sauna. While the images were taken probably years ago, the current state of the spa is such that they have battery one powered lamp in both sauna and steam room — something you use for fixing your car. The place is so crammed. The conditions of the place were also awful with fake tiling caved around the tiny hot tub, and the water in the showers completely unmanageable —- the cold shower came out boiling hot.

To add to that, the rooms were also incredibly uncomfortable —- cold, water wasn’t working in the morning (cold water coming out of the shower) and overall stench of mould.

The place looks nothing like the images and it feels like an absolute scheme to rob people of their money.

The hotel has severe issues in rooms in the property due to damp and mould spores. The smell was so bad in our room 252 I had to get dressed and go down to reception at 5am as we were unable to sleep. I was informed that nothing could be done. I called a manager about 8am who came up to the room and witnessed the terrible smell. She apologised and explained the hotel is built in and old bank that has rot issues. They have tried to cover the smell with plug in air fresheners but is way beyond that. They did give us a free breakfast and a £50 back in way of apology. I have stayed in the hotel before in rooms at the other end of the hotel which was fine. Serious work and health inspection is required urgently.

BEWARE - unless you book with the hotel you’ll have to pay £10 per person to use the Spa. Had we known this we probably would have booked another hotel.

Beautiful building, had a dinner dance in the main ballroom, Wow what a room.
Only downside was no carpark but there are carparks close that you get discount in plus bus service very good.

Historic building right in the heart of an historic part of town. Lots to do within easy walking distance.
Staff were great, hotel room was excellent, Bristol for a weekend away was amazing.
