The buildings are old; you can tell from the worn steps. But the staff is very attentive and helpful. It was a short walk to multiple food options and some Banksy murals, too. Twenty minutes to the water with loads to take in on the way.
We liked the eclectic, informal and quirky art and decor. Rooms were comfortable and well appointed. The minibar was thoughtfully stocked and snacks were available. Showers were hot and clean.Staff were very considerate ,helpful and attentive.
Wonderful hotel. Always a warm welcome. The room was clean and very comfy. Great atmosphere overall, brilliant location for visiting Gloucester Rd and the city centre
Short, single night stay - very welcoming, good buzz with a Christmas party in full swing. Although not the biggest room - mine was comfortable and quirky.
Fun design lead hotel that felt very homely and comfortable in a mid century imdustrial hipster style. Friendly and efficient staff. Food was good although a pasta option would have been welcome. Top notch overall
Gorgeous property and staff were 10/10!
Immediate area around the property was run down and didn’t feel particularly safe at night - Would still book though. Couple of noisy bars close by, but music finished by 1am.
Beautifully decorated property. In keeping with the arty history of the property! So central yet surprisingly quiet. What a find. It also has a well stocked mini bar and a lovely little restaurant attached. I Will absolutely be staying here again.
Lovely quirky place to stay, room was beautiful and spacious. The bed was super comfy and the pillows were out of this world, although the bed frame was squeakier than Stuart Little getting murdered by a cat. Also work force outside was a rude awakening but that’s not the hotels fault. Really pleased we found this little gem
Hotel in an old historic property. Lots of quirky artifacts in the room which is great for travelers. Suite was spacious. Only comment is that suite 11 on the second floor was above the basement bar and the music was loud until midnight when it closed. Upside was that the music was pretty good and I had jet lag so not really an issue.

Perfect!
I stay in hotels a lot for work and this is by far one of my favourites. Usually I just expect a clean and functional room but I felt so cosy and at home, the interior was beautiful and there were so many lovely little touches.
In terms of practicality the hotel is in a good central location, it was easy to get parked using the RingGo app outside. Check in was quick, the room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. Will definitely prioritise this hotel for upcoming Bristol work trips.
We booked in for a weekend to celebrate our anniversary and the hotel was a surprise to my wife. Lovely interior and funky room designs.
We had a couple of issues with the room but the staff did all they could to resolve the issues. When they couldn’t move us because they were fully booked they did all they could to make up for it and we couldn't fault their apologetic manner and efforts they went to to make up for it.
We will look forward to staying at other hotels within the group. Thank you Floss and the Team!

Convenient overnight stay
We found this hotel situated conveniently for shopping areas in the centre of Bristol. The hotel didn't have a manned reception desk, but had a secure access tag system. Our room was cold when we arrived and we had to ask reception to turn on the heating remotely, similarly the television only worked properly if you could stream what you wanted to watch from your own mobile device after logging in. The furnishings were comfortable and as you would expect in a hotel at this price point. Unfortunately we had to leave before breakfast was served so we cannot comment on that but I would like to add that all the staff we saw were helpful and friendly
This is such a lovely hotel! Highly recommend. Just marred by silly details in service. You can't get in without ringing the door bell and it takes a while as they are all working in the bar (a bit much when it is raining hard!), the window had been wide open making the room really cold. The room itself though is lovely with everything you could think of to make it comfortable plus quirky extras. Food downstairs - very busy I don't know if you can pre-book but you need to really as I had to wait for a table. Cocktails are great, food choice a little limited but nice
I recently stayed at this charming hotel. It was a convenient location for city shopping and an impeccably clean and tidy environment. The Victorian, slightly industrial decor was an absolute delight, adding a unique character to the place. The staff were consistently friendly and polite, contributing positively to the overall experience. Additionally, the food and drink prices were reasonable, making dining in the hotel a pleasant and affordable option.
However, there was a notable downside. Upon checking in, we were informed that we had been allocated 'The Shoe Box Room' due to booking through an agent, specifically originally with Expedia, rather than directly with the hotel. While the room itself met our needs, this practice felt somewhat condescending, particularly since we were paying a higher rate compared to some top hotels in Bristol's trendy Clifton area.
Overall, the hotel's positives outweigh this minor issue. I hope the management reconsiders this approach to ensure all guests feel equally valued, regardless of how they book their stay.
