    The self check-in system with the codes doesn't work well. It would be better if they reverted back to the old system of checking in people face to face at reception. This is much better for security, and creating a positive start.

    A big shout out to Komal, the manager who dealt with my extension request in a timely and efficient manner. She was SO sweet and kind, and really made my day!

    Room was a bit run down with a few things not working. Good enough for a one night stay over but not somewhere I would stay for a romantic get away or anything. Not a huge problem, but noticeable

    The staff were great, Komal on reception was very friendly and welcoming. Great value for money and a great location

    I don’t like the self check in system, it does not make sense and the codes were invalid multiple times. The team gave me the codes which were not work in, I literally struggled to get into my room. I would request this hotel to stop this automated system.

    Komal was very helpful with the whole process.

    No one is ever on reception. Online check in didn’t work so had to call the hotel to get the code which I could barely hear because of bad signal. I bumped into the lady who answered the phone while looking for my room seconds later. No one there during check out either Feels like a self check-in AirBnB even though you are in a hotel and would be less hassle if someone was there on the desk to deal with guest problems. There was a serious leak in my shower and I wanted to tell someone but no staff Thin walls and I was kept up by people talking at midnight Perfectly fine for one night though

    Fantastic location in Clifton, right next to the university Decent, clean room, all amenities provided Good value for money Comfortable TV, tea and coffee

    If you have any mobility issues, this hotel is unsuitable for you (no lift, and many stairs). The hotel would really benefit from some investment, for example fresh carpets as the current ones are very stained.

    The young lady on reception was very helpful and polite. The bed was comfortable, and although the hotel and room was rather run down, it did appear clean.

    24/7 telephone support was not available. Also really stressful check-in as no one on reception.a kind guest let me in, otherwise I'd be waiting on the street. There needs to be someone on reception. No toiletries in my room as promised nor was there a place to keep my bike safe. I felt really sorry for all those people waiting to check in and find there was no receptionist or rooms as promised. Also tv very small and at the far end of the room, hopeless for watching.

    It was a comfortable bed and having tea, coffee and milk was great Was able to keep my bike inside as no places to lock up my bike as I had been told. Receptionist helpful when she arrived.

    Couldnt get any parking information, in an area with little parking. Was great we managed to park at the hotel. It wasn't clear if we'd booked a room with an ensuite from the booking, it seems most rooms are ensuite but wasn't sure until we checked in

    Cosy comfortable room.

    The only thing that brought fear in us was someone trying to break the room 4 in the morning He was continuously trying the passcodes n was not saying anything when we were asking who it was. That was a very bad and insecurity what we felt. What if he would have got inside with a bad intention. Please do look at the cctv footage of 25.03.25 at 4 in the morning . And plz make sure that this doesn’t happens with someone else. This will ruin yur goodwill in the market.

    The facility and everything was perfect. The room was beautiful well placed with everything. Slightly issue with the heating but its fine bcz the weather was good.

    We arrived before our 3pm check in and wanted to ask where we could park our car (we was told when we booked that they had limited parking but if that was full they would advise where we could park!) there was no one at the hotel, no way of getting in and no one answering the phone!!! At 3pm when we could access the hotel the member of staff on reception had no idea where to park it was another guest that advised us. Room was clean enough although carpet was quite stained. Bed was a bit hard and pillows flat and uncomfortable! Ok for one night but not sure I will return.

    It was a good location for us to visit our son.

    Single rooms are very small and have a shared bathroom. They’re at the very top, there’s no lift and the stairs are very steep for an unfit old bloke! OK in the winter but being at the top of the building and having no A/C, it would probably be quite a hot room in the summer.

    Good location The wi-fi is better than a Premier Inn
