I have stayed at the Clifton a few times recently due to some work commitments in Bristol, the friendly atmosphere and unique vibe bringing me back each time. Staff are consistently polite and efficient and I’ve enjoyed relaxing in both the café and bar. The hotel has a refreshingly unique feel to it which you don’t get at chains and... More

We arrived in the cafe that doubled up as a reception area, to wait at least 10 minutes before the receptionist finally found our booking. As we entered our room, our bath towels were beautifully folded into the shape of 'kissing swans' on our bed and there was fruit on the side table, and I thought all was forgiven. The... More

We couldn't find availability for our last night stay in Bath that's why we book this place to stay in Bristol for a night instead, WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!! the place is long walk from the station and it is difficult to find, plus when you reach there you may spend 10min up and down the street trying to...

Older Hotel in university area. Nice rooms, but bathroom a bit small. Lobby do Unless as a coffee shop with a lot of students hanging out. Rack's Bar is downstairs. Packed with students and young professionals. great pub food. Doubles as restaurant for breakfast (which is great).

I stayed here for two nights, and read the reviews before I went, so thought I knew what to expect. The room I was in was tiny but, for some odd reason, had a small fridge in it (is this what makes it "Executive"?) which didn't even appear to work, although it was throwing out a worrying amount of heat...

I chose this hotel because I wanted to be fairly close to the centre of Bristol, on a budget but with a 24hr reception (which you might not get with a B&B). The room was fairly basic although clean. The hotel had quite a nice vibe, I'd recommend it, but you do get what you pay for.

This is in the student area of Clifton, and the cafe in the entrance is suitably bohemian. The buiilding is old, and the rooms comfortable if a bit small. Excellent breakfast, friendly staff, very good service. Fresh fruit and real coffee in the rooms, definitely worth visiting. Lift to all floors which many old hotels do not have.

Cheap (for Bristol) hotel, room was very small, but otherwise nice, included tea and coffee which is always a bonus, shower power could maybe have been a bit better but that's it for problems. Bar downstairs is good and has a nice beer garden as well (and good breakfasts), location pretty good as well.

We stayed here for a weekend when visiting Bristol recently. Finding a hotel who welcome dogs is never easy, to our surprise The Clifton are happy for customers to have a well behaved dog with them, you might think rooms would be very 'doggy'? Not all all, the rooms are lovely and clean. The bar is really nice, the bar... More
