Washington Hotel - Bristol 51.4583, -2.61207

Decor very Very Tired, Breakfast cold, Staff Very helpful.

Although staff were very pleasant the hotel itself needs a complete overhaul. Decoration was shabby and carpets grubby.

Initially we were given room 21, a small room at the front of the hotel, which suffered from traffic noise, the toilet did not flush easily, and there was an overall slight stale smell to the room. We asked to be moved, and our second night was spent in room 12 on the ground floor at the back of the hotel, which was quiet, larger, better maintained and smelled fresh. The scores above average the difference in standards between the two rooms. Staff were courteous and helpful.

My room was above reception and I couldn't hear any phones or tv. Staff were fantastically friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with no waiting time. The only thing I would say was that being front facing on a main road the room was rather noisy due to the cars. Beware the cancellation policy (I assume this applies to any hotel as it is from hotels.com), only after booking are you told "Additional cancellation Information Please note that if you make any changes in your reservation, that could result in charges applicable by policy and availability. " Good location, good hotel, good value for money.

Its quite an old building that would need some refurbishment. Upon registration I was asked to fill in a form, in particular I could specify a wake-up call. I did so, but I never received a call... The food was fine, and people serving the food are kind. But the room was very small, and really needs refurbishment. Internet access only via telephone line (dial-up).

The clue to this hotel is in the fact that the front step is at least a foot high. The hotel is clean and comfortable, the breakfast and coffee good, staff are helpfull but no lifts or porters so carry your own luggage up some challenging stairs, If your BMI is 35 plus try some where else, but if you like value for money try this one. Will return in the near future.

Maybe a low budget hotel but the rooms definately reflected the price although saying that I have stayed in far superior rooms in Blackpool for less. Desperately in need of refurbishment ( Light fittings in room were broken and window frames dropping to pieces, room very small and bedding faded); also waited 3 quarters of a hour for breakfast which was very basic 1 rasher bacon, 1 sausage etc. Staff did apologise for wait and stated they were short staffed but advertised croissants only came out in fours and were grabbed by nearest diners and plate not refilled the whole time in the dining room.

This hotel is a great value and the staff is very nice. However,if you are going to be going into Bath or other surrounding areas you may want to look for a different location. It is a 15-20 min. walk to the bus station and the train station is about a 45 min. walk or appox. 7 pound($10) cab ride. The full breakfast was very nice and the rooms are small but have everything you need. Also the have fresh fuit and assorted drink choices in your room everyday.

Having read previous reveiws I was not expecting much. However, pleasenely surprised. Room very clean and comfortable, breakfast very enjoyable with a wide range of items to choose from. Service very good.

As the cost of our twin room was half that of other similar hotels in the area we weren't expecting much - we were very pleasantly surprised. The decour of the communal was a little on the shabby side but the room itself was fine. It was clean, comfortable and well stocked with drinks, fruit and even a couple of biscuits. The breakfast was also plentiful and of good quality. Staff were exceptionally helpful and very cheerful. We would definitely go back.

Hotel Needs to be Updated very tired looking ,poor car parking poor breakfast

My specific requirement for this hotel was its location which was perfect for my needs, and in-room internet. It did not have that. Instead you had to go to the very small reception to get wireless service. It was right by the front door and therefore cold and you had to be extremely careful because the small table contained flowers in water.

Good points: Great central location for the Triangle and University areas of Bristol plus Clifton. Secure parking available at six pounds per day which is cheaper than central city parking day rates. Friendly staff. Fresh coffee and tea available in room. Clean rooms. Rooms at the back of the hotel are quiet. A good value hotel in context of Bristol prices. Downsides: One bed in the twin room was very uncomfortable and the room was next to the kitchen thus noisy in the morning. All rooms are outdated and a bit shabby. No toiletries beyond soap; provision of radio and TV differ across rooms. Verdict: Have stayed before and would do so again as convenience of location and affordability make it reasonable value for Bristol. Other hotel chains and boutique hotels in Bristol seem to be upping standards whilst the Washington gets shabbier. In the Clifton range, I've stayed at Berkeley Square which is the best quality but provides less value as you can stay better for less in other hotels, The Clifton is similar to Washington but can be very noisy as it has a bar attached. Best points for all are location as a great bases for this area of Bristol, fresh coffee, tea and fruit in rooms, parking, nice staff.

The greeter at the hotels desk was so helpful and super nice. Not only did she make us feel at home but made cab and dinner reservations for us!! This hotel is great!! Good breakfast and service... I will definately stay there again!!

Stayed at Washington Hotel on business, I chose it based on location and very reasonable price. Building is quite old and needs a refurb - beds were not particularly comfortable and windows not double glazed so the room isn't always particularly warm. BUT if you're prepared to compromise, price and location are very good and the staff were particularly friendly/helpful.

Found this hotel after recommendation from my Mum who was staying there also. Hotel is very well positioned to access Bristol and close to some pubs and eateries. Room was great with en-suite and good tea/coffee options. The breakfast was varied and had something for everyone. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

The spaces are very small and the hotel looks like an old house with not much renovations. Internet connection may be available but you have to bring your own computer. This was the main inconvenience for me. I was under the impression that they have computers for the internet so I didn't bring mine. The best thing I like about this hotel is that it is a walking distance from many things including museums, public library, restaurants, and Bristol university. Staff were also very nice. Given what I paid for my five night stay, I think it is a great hotel for back packers/budget travellers. I will give it three stars

+ sehr gute Lage, nur wenige Minuten zu Fuss zur Universitaet; + sauber (Zimmer und Bad); + exzellentes Fruehstueck; + niedriger Preis (hatte ein Angebot im Internet gebucht); - sehr laut, da die Waende und Tueren praktisch keinen Laermschutz bieten (ich hatte das Pech, das Zimmer direkt neben der Hotellobby zu bekommen - dort bekommt man praktisch jedes Wort an der Rezeption oder in der Halle mit); - Fenster schlecht isoliert; - Service beim Fruehstueck etwas langsam; - Foehn etwas schwach.

Un accueil très sympatique dans cet hôtel chaleureux situé dans un quartier calme bien que proche du centre ville. Des chambres un peu petites mais très confortables. Breakfast extra.

Situé dans le quartier de Clifton, on peut accéder en ville à pied ou en bus très facilement. Le bus de l'aéroport s'arrête à proximité. Le petit déjeuner est bon et conviendra à tous. Les chambres sont équipées d'une bouilloire pour se faire un thé ou un café et la corbeil de fruits est une délicate attention. Nous avions la chambre 14 au rez-de-chaussée juste à côté de la réception, donc assez bruyant à cause des allers et venues jour et nuit.

Ga zeker terug naar dit hotel. Centrum van Bristo en de Zoo prima bereikbaar.

Chambres simples très correctes. Un accueil top aussi bien à la réception qu'au petit dej

Bra och trevligt hotel. En av sängarna var dock "utnött" som man kände fjädrarna i ryggen. God och mycket frukost alternativ. Mycket trevlig personal.

Clean, cheap, good breakfast, friendly staff, silent if you are lucky: the walls are partly very thin and badly insulating. however, traffic is not an issue. not top class of course but related to the price excellent.
