We always stay at the Novotel when we visit Bristol as it is a great central base for exploring, the staff are lovely, it has good parking and it is also dog-friendly - what's not to like!
Shops were nearby which made it easy for me to get food

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Check in staff member was great, check out staff didn’t seem too engaged in her job. Room was clean, bed comfy, bathroom satisfactory, however cold showers in the morning. Location excellent, parking straight forward, £16 for 24 hours. Entrance lobby very clean and smells beautiful.
The hotel was nice and done up for halloween. It was very clean. The food was good in the bar. The room was a good size clean lots of space only down size was the bed, it was rock hard. I know hotel beds are firm but this was beyond firm
The rooms are quite basic and clean. The location is just five minutes from the train station. We got the breakfast and it was a pretty good buffet.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Really noisy, the walls are really thin and we unfortunately had super noisy people either side. The hotel is dated and need upgrading really, for the money I've stayed in nicer hotels in Bristol. The staff were friendly fair play and the location is good, but I won't be back due to having a horrendous sleep due to noise.
