my wife and I stayed at the hotel on a sunday night, staff very friendly and helpful. We ate in Racks just up the road and owned by the same company we were given a discount as we were in the hotel, food and atmosphere excellent.

Bristol can be quite a dear place to find a night's sleep and the Washington is a great exception. It is part of a group of hotels in the Clifton area of Bristol and their most "budget" one. OK, at 40pounds a night, it is far from being really cheap, but you get a decent room of a proper size... More

Really good location for access to Clifton area, but still quiet at night. Decor in rooms a bit tired, but everything was clean and tidy. The breakfast provides a good selection of hot and cold food. The thing that really stands out though, is how helpful the staff are. They were very accomodating of us and our toddler, and couldn't... More

This is the second time we have stayed at the Washington and both times we have found it to offer good comfortable clean accomodation, with good service and an excellent breakfast. The hotel is well placed for exploring Clifton with it's shops & restaurants, and with buses running down into the centre of Bristol only 10 miutes away. If you... More

Just returned from Bristol - stayed at the Washington for one night only. As most of the other reviewers I agree that the whole place could do with a coat of paint - what do a couple of tins of white paint cost nowadays- that's all that was needed. Our room was down in the basement and did smell slightly... More

Stayed here with a group of friends while visiting Bristol for the weekend. The hotel is cheap and quite well situated about ten minutes walk from the centre of Clifton. The rooms are small (single bed) and clean. The shower worked well. Breakfast was quick and efficient, as well as tasty. Friendly and quick check in and out.
