“Perfect for our Needs”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

The hotel was in the process of being reburbished when we visited, but I can't say this affected our stay. They were rebranding from the Mint hotel to Hilton Gardens on 13.2.12. The rooms were a little on the small side but were more than sufficient, with a comfortable bed, plenty of lighting, an iMac, plenty of wardrobe space and an iron and ironing board. The bathrooms were new and clean with rainshowers. They are a little on the small side, so you may struggle if you are on the larger side. The car park was open air and had about 50 car parking spaces and was well lit. For busy times when you can't get in the hotels own car park, there is an open air NCP next door - also openair. The hotel was in a good location for us, about a 10 minute walk to the bars and restaurants at the harbourside, probably slightly further to the shopping area. It was quiet at night, so you were not kept awake by revellers in the street. Extremely friendly and helpful staff.

“Great staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Great hotel with really helpful and friendly staff. I've stayed here a few times and my last stay was during refurbishment, so was a little bit chaotic but the staff were brilliant. Particularly Lucy on reception, Dave at the bar and Paulo in the restaurant. I will definitely stay here again. The rooms are clean and have everything you need.

“Mint leaves a funny taste in the mouth”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

It was a one off. I was working in Bristol and my wife was having a few friends round for a sleep in. I searched TripAdvisor for a suitable overnight stay with WiFi an absolute priority so that I could file my piece for my newspaper on Sunday morning. The Mint was close to the station and with an old, decent Italian restaurant within walking distance. Having navigated a huge roundabout and eventually found the correct street I quickly checked in , left my bags and went to work.On my return I discovered how bleak the area was and apart from the big , imposing roundabout, the office blocks stood bleak and empty on a Saturday night ion the snow. Come to think of it The Mint was rather similar, not the sort of place you would want to linger for a meal on your own or even a drink at the tiny bar. The saving grace was the room. Basic enough with a nice big bed but excellent in terms of plugs, access to WiFi, mac and excellent and multi use apple television. Work was soon done.But there it stopped.The bathroom was so small that when ( if I may be briefly indelicate) I sat on the loo my legs poked out into the room and as a somewhat large man I had to manoeuvre myself around the shower and sink. Not comfortable at all.
Despite paying £75 for a weekend night, with refurbishments going on, breakfast was not including and the restaurant was not inviting enough to pay for a breakfast. Instead I walked to the station and settled for and orange juice.
Not a hotel I would return to.

Room Tip: my room at the back of the hotel had a view of empty offices.

“Excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

We had a weekend in Bristol and pick Mint for location and cost. The hotel far out weighed the small cost of the room for a night. Staff were very friendly and attentive, room was spotless, very comfortable and the iMac in the room was an excellent touch. The breakfast was also very good better than a lot I have had recently. I would recomend staying there again, I have also stayed in the Glasgow location and had a similar experience.
