I travel to Bristol for work at the uni quite often, and so I’ve tried a few different hotels around Clifton. The Washington is my favourite to stay in — always low noise, always friendly staff, always comfy and clean beds. The building is a little worn down, inside and out, but if you’re looking for a consistently good, lower cost hotel to stay for a few days, this is the place.

Horrible stay

Horrible Horrible stay. Customer service very horrible, no smiles on their faces, except for one of the receptionist (girl) who works in the morning. She was nice. The night receptionist (male) (Asian) was horrible, very disrespectful and arrogant. And he wasn’t ready to solve any customers needs. Fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night, two nights in a role The rooms were really small, breakfast is partially a buffet and the served part of the breakfast takes more than 30mins to come. The some part of the rooms are dirty and dusty.

The cost of the room (£141) did not equate to the standard of the room. Some lights didn’t work, poorly patched up decor, carpet didn’t look well cleaned, long established stains in the bath, the shower was outdated and it was extremely difficult to get a consistent water temperature - most of the time it was far too hot, no extractor fan in the bathroom, no full length mirror. Breakfast was uninspiring. Staff we encountered were all pleasant and helpful. Over all, very disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend at that price.

Woeful, just woeful

Dated doesn't cover how terrible this place is. No lights in the carpark or at the entrance from it and i nearly broke my neck trying to get in never mond the rat i saw. The place is falling apart and quite literally with the staircase to the top floor comimg away from the wall, should be condemned. Felt unsafe and unsecure. Ensuite extremely small, yellow, cracked sink, missing tap covers, dust and fluff on the toilet roll holders, carpet disgusting, light flicked when i plugged in my phone charger, door barely closed, blackput curtains were great but poorly fitted so a bright aurora around the whole thing. Breakfast was good but very small, 1 sausage, 1 egg, 1 small hashbrown, 1 bacon. Only good thing was the receptionist, very helpful.

This is a very budget guesthouse. It’s a bit hit and miss, a bit in need of renovation, not a nice entrance at the back (I thought U’d walked on to a building site) but the beds are comfortable, the linen clean, the snacks/fruit in the room are a nice touch, and the cooked breakfast is usually ok (if there isn’t a rush, then it can be very delayed).

Not staffed 24 hour, but the light above the entrace has been disconnected meaning at night your in the shadows. Arrived and my room unlocked and door ajar meaning someone could have already been in my room. Hair in the bath, lots of stains of the carpet and a nosiey fan are all reasons to not go. Breakfast was quick, but weatherspoons superior.
