i found my room to be lovely , clean , and individual , a real treat. it had nice fresh fruit and a very good hot drink selection , i liked that. the location allowed me to easily explore clifton and access attractions outside the city center , a big plus. i also appreciated the many excellent eating places within a short walk from the hotel , perfect for a quick bite.

the stairs felt a little tricky to navigate , especially with luggage , as there wasn't a lift.

Comfortable and Convenient Stay

high quality food great location convenient bus

The breakfast food was of high quality and cooked very well I found the food satisfying. The hotel has a great location for finding restaurants in the evening and exploring the area. A bus stop is conveniently located outside the hotel to get to various places.

The stairs to the third floor were steep and twisty without a lift. This made carrying luggage somewhat challenging.
