balcony bliss with bridge views

spacious balcony valley view wand setup
i enjoyed the beautiful balcony room we booked it had a spacious balcony with fantastic views of the bridge and valley it was amazing. the room was fresh and clean plus everything was well kept. the shower had both a rainforest and wand setup plus a good selection of shampoo and other products.
the on-site parking costs an extra £12 per day which i think is a bit steep i wish it was included in the room rate or offered at a lower price.

the hotel has been refurbished to a very high standard. my room included high-quality products which i liked. i also found the coffee was great.
i found the hotel a bit tricky to navigate with bags because of the narrow corridors. i noticed help with luggage was not offered. the passageways to rooms include multiple steps and doors, not great for anyone with limited mobility.

Lovely Bridge View and Perfect Service!

cute staff balcony room bridge view spacious balcony
I found on-street parking quite accessible upon my early arrival. The reception staff were cute and provided thorough information for my stay. My Beautiful Balcony room on the first floor presented amazing views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The spacious balcony was a highlight. It really amplified the bridge and valley views.
The room décor, while stylish, was somewhat dark for my preference.

The breakfast buffet offered a fresh food selection, and the service was attentive. Staff always ensured coffee was refilled. The restaurant terrace provided an very nice view, ideal for a relaxed meal with that famous bridge as a backdrop. I LOVED the view!!!
