The hotel is very central and within walking distance to shops, restaurants. The rooms are a bit dated which was much closer to expectation for what we paid and just ordinary. The service could not do enough to help us, but there was a slight issue with noise. The location is great for city center access and close to the train station. The dining had a good choice, but there were some service issues. Overall, it offers good value for the price paid.

Checking into the hotel, I was impressed by the clean and modern lobby, but unfortunately, the room with a park view didn't live up to the same standard. The heating system was malfunctioning, forcing me to manually adjust it. While the room felt a bit small and outdated, the service throughout the stay was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff going the extra mile. Dining was a pleasant experience, although the breakfast rush highlighted some operational challenges.

The hotel offered decent rooms with noise disturbances from neighbors but met the typical Marriott standards. The service was accommodating and the room was clean, contributing to an enjoyable weekend stay. The location, although convenient, lacked a relaxing atmosphere for evening drinks. The dining experience varied, with some excellent Korean dishes but a dingy room for breakfast. Overall, a satisfactory stay with room for improvements.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a good view of Bristol overlooking the park, but they are starting to look dated and the bathrooms need updating. While the service was generally helpful, some staff members had an odd manner about them. The location was really convenient, situated between the city center and the main station, making it easy to explore Bristol. The dining experience was a letdown, with breakfast not meeting expectations. The facilities were satisfactory overall.

The hotel is ideally located in the city center, making it easy to access. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although there was an unpleasant fishy smell lingering. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, attributing any inconvenience to the weather. The dining experience offered a variety of choices, although some room key issues needed attention. The location is easily accessible and central, though there were some disturbances from ongoing work in the hotel. A welcoming add-on for business or leisure stays.

The hotel is in a fantastic central location with a nice bar area and friendly staff. The rooms are large, super clean, and have all you need for a good stay in Bristol, but the initial cold temperature was a bit discomforting. The service was consistently friendly and helpful throughout my stay, although noise can be a downside due to the hotel's popularity with night-out crowds.

My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms could do with a bit of an update as they were very basic and tired, but my room on the 7th floor was big, spacious, and spotlessly clean. I had a small balcony with a front view. The breakfast was lovely with plenty of variety, and I even received chocolates, small gifts, a handwritten birthday card, and free drink vouchers for the bar downstairs.
