Perfect location to explore Bristol's Gloucester Road shops and restaurants. Friendly pub with good food options and beer selections. Room was large and bed was comfy. Bathroom is small, but you get use to it.

Nice room, above a popular pub. Made me feel welcome
We stayed one night during the week. Staff were friendly and helpful and our room was clean with two comfy single beds. Tasty food in the bar downstairs, seems popular with local folks. Plenty of eating tables. An interesting 30 minute walk down the famous trendy Gloucester Road will get you to the centre.
Would stay again. Good evening food and great entertainment.
Staff are decent people.
Heads up, no breakie in the morning.

Clean rooms but surprised my room was not en suite, with a private bathroom up the corridor. Excellent staff. Dodgy door for access after 11pm. I was locked out and had to knock on the window. Also no breakfast available. Good beer in the pub itself.
Really friendly at check in and throughout. Free parking a bonus. Room was great for what we needed with good facilities. Loved the fact there was a bar downstairs - very convenient for a nightcap. Not noisy at all. Room very hot (weather was extreme) and only one window to open but there was a fan. Would definitely stay again when in the area,
Nice family pub. It can be a bit noisy during pub open hours but my family were very comfortable and had a great nights sleep. The bar below sells nice selection of beers and the play area kept our daughter busy so we could relax.

Highly recommended
Friendly welcome, clean room (most important), comfortable bed (also important), nice view over park, excellent food and good choice of beers. Easy walk to Southmead hospital (saves a taxi fare, which was one of the reasons I chose it). What's not to like?
Everyone very friendly and helpful. Hotel is situated near the hospital which was great as we didn’t have to rush to get there in the morning. Would definitely stay again, beer garden very well thought out.

Perfect accommodation for our needs. Two refurbed doubles were big and good with en suite.
The twin room was small and bathroom not en suite, should be priced a lot cheaper. No facilities for breakfast in the morning although lidl a 4 min drive
Pub was great and staff were lovely and very helpful but the room was not good. Most uncomfortable mattress i have slept on in years and no ensuite bathroom

Basic but comfortable.
Basic but comfortable. The twin beds were fine.
The separate bathroom in the twin room was dated and the shower had a lot of black mould, so I decided to go without.
The television remote control was broken.
Otherwise fine.
