Couple · Sep 2026

Enjoyed the stay, great area.

Liked:The location was ideal for walking around the city centre and catching the tram. Bed was very comfortable

Disliked:The reception staff were very nice and helpful but seemed to lack local knowledge around how to find some attractions. They did google and get the answers, but I would have thought the big attraction of Punting on the Avon would have been known off the top of their heads.
