The hotel is very close to Temple Meads station. I could easily travel around and not worry about distances. The kids' facilities in reception are also nice. It has a play area with books and toys.
Parking and breakfast was expensive. The room was too hot, but air con wasnt effective. There was only one plug at the bedside.

amazing value and convenience

prime locationgreat breakfastgluten free optionsconvenient water filter
The hotel's location is unbeatable. it's near the train station and also a short walk to the city center. the breakfast selection was very good. I especially liked the gluten-free options with clear labeling. i also appreciated the water filter on every floor. That was perfect for the hot weather
the hotel decor felt just a bit tired, and some minor things needed attention. for example, the tap in the bathroom was a little loose, it didn't negatively affect my stay much

the location was convenient near the train station. i could easily travel and return without distance worries. i found a park nearby, good for a picnic. the kids' area in reception had toys and books.
the fire alarm activated twice during the night due to a sauna issue. this disturbed my sleep and woke up other guests. i did not receive an apology at checkout. it was their fault so a review was needed
