DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Bristol South - Cadbury House
Room was on the zero level which I have stayed in before on quite a few occasions - they are always cold, bathroom radiators don’t work and tv signal is awful and pixilated. Other than that the reception team, health club and restaurant were as good as usual
