“Ideal tourist hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

I stayed here on business recently and was disappointed with my stay however the hotel would be ideal for parents or kids at uni or tourists as it is close to Clifton and Bristol centre.There is a small car park to the rear, steps up to hotel was hard work with luggage.
My room was on first floor and the traffic extremely noisy as it was at a busy junction, there was also students walking around and shouting, I am not normally disturbed by outside noise but this was too much. The bar also chucked their bottles into bottle bank under window around 22:30 so another crashing noise.
The room was clean except for one of the cups and spoon which had not been washed, not a huge room but had everything i needed.
I ate in the restaurant and was served by a waitress who sniffed and sneezed into her hands, I ordered a steak and it was cooked fine, basic green salad with no dressing. Background music was very odd.
Breakfast was self serve buffet, I did not eat hot option as I did not see it as the hot plates are in another room and under silver covers. But what I had was fine, it was hard to see who actually worked at the hotel and got the impression that there were some staff eating breakfast! Plenty of other places to eat locally
I don't really need to be staying so close to Bristol centre so I will choose somewhere else next time.

Room Tip: Avoid 210 if you want peace and quiet, stairs and steps everywhere so check with reception regarding...

“Victoria Square Hotel, Clifton, Bristol”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

I always stay in this charming hotel whenever I'm in Bristol because of it's friendly staff, comfortable rooms and great loaction on Victoria Square in Clifton. The city centre is a taxi ride away but don't worry about that - Clifton is very well served for excellent pubs and restaurants. Tip - ask for one of the two basement rooms in the annexe, they both open onto a peaceful garden which is nice on summer evenings.
The car park can be a challenge particularly if you've got a large car but it's free!

“Lovely Clifton location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We have stayed in the hotel several times. The staff are very helpful and the hotel is very comfortable. There is no lift but we were asked if we needed help with the suitcases. The dining room is pleasant with a good breakfast. There are numerous restaurants nearby for lunches and evening meals. The location overlooking Victora Square is a few minutes from Clifon Village and it is about a 10-15 walk down to the Harbourside. A bus stops right outside the hotel if you want to avoid walking up steep Park Street on the return journey. We visit Bristol a couple of times a year and always stay here.

Room Tip: I like the rooms on the first floor in the main hotel...quiet and not so many stairs.

“close to buses”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

We stayed at this hotel last month and were very pleased with the cleanliness, quiet and elegant Victorian surroundings. The dining room was spacious and light with a good selection of fruit, cereal and cooked food. The hotel is beautifully situated in a quiet square in this upmarket area of Bristol, convenient for nearby visitor attractions and frequent buses to other parts of the city. We did have to struggle a bit with stairs but staff were helpful with luggage on arrival and we did have a good view from our top floor room. The king size bed was very comfortable. The shower was a bit of a trickle and we did mention this to staff but no change. We hung towels up for re-using, but they were replaced each day! We found a space easily in the free, convenient car park.

Room Tip: Top floor good view but no lift and maybe why shower was a trickle!

“Comfortable with helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Recently stayed a night in this hotel. It is two star (presumably because there is no lift) but it is very well placed for Clifton, the University and the City Centre (bus stop to Temple Meads Station outside the door), and the staff were courteous and helpful. It is quite and has a nice location.
