Brilliant hotel with
This was our third stay at Bristol Harbour Hotel. It’s a wonderful hotel overall but this stay was just not exceptional like the other experiences we have had there. The room was great, a deluxe room with incredible bed and great facilities. There was no view as we were on a different side of the hotel as previous but that was OK. Room service cooked breakfast was hot and brilliantly cooked but missed items such as toast that we ordered and there was no butter or jam for the croissants, condiments or Ketchup. When we arrived the state of our floor was not good enough with the days laundry strewn across the floor, including in front of the lift. As we had 4 rooms booked at huge expense with guests we invited this was a real shame as we weren’t checking in early. Overall a reasonable stay, we would come back but on this occasion it was just not as amazing as before.

The hotel room was nice, but I don't agree with charging guests to use the spa facilities when it is the main attraction of booking this hotel.

Extremely noisy due to being in city centre. We were in close vicinity of the local bars so at 4am all the beer barrels were being delivered and empties being taken away. Went on all morning. No mattress protectors on beds which i was quite shocked at and matress very stained.

Booked the hotel for a nice weekend away. The images online completely missold the place. They suggested there was a spa, but what they had was a tiny converted basement with extremely low vaulted ceilings, freezing pool, broken steam room and broken sauna. While the images were taken probably years ago, the current state of the spa is such that they have battery one powered lamp in both sauna and steam room — something you use for fixing your car. The place is so crammed. The conditions of the place were also awful with fake tiling caved around the tiny hot tub, and the water in the showers completely unmanageable —- the cold shower came out boiling hot. To add to that, the rooms were also incredibly uncomfortable —- cold, water wasn’t working in the morning (cold water coming out of the shower) and overall stench of mould. The place looks nothing like the images and it feels like an absolute scheme to rob people of their money.

The hotel has severe issues in rooms in the property due to damp and mould spores. The smell was so bad in our room 252 I had to get dressed and go down to reception at 5am as we were unable to sleep. I was informed that nothing could be done. I called a manager about 8am who came up to the room and witnessed the terrible smell. She apologised and explained the hotel is built in and old bank that has rot issues. They have tried to cover the smell with plug in air fresheners but is way beyond that. They did give us a free breakfast and a £50 back in way of apology. I have stayed in the hotel before in rooms at the other end of the hotel which was fine. Serious work and health inspection is required urgently.

BEWARE - unless you book with the hotel you’ll have to pay £10 per person to use the Spa. Had we known this we probably would have booked another hotel.

Well appointed room. Friendly reception team. Very comfortable bed and bedding. Sadly I was woken by a beer barrel delivery for the pub opposite at 6am which was most unwelcome. Did not eat breakfast or dinner or visit the bar so can’t comment on those. The closest / recommended car park is a bit sorry for itself and feels a bit edgy. Also tiny spaces. Beware satnav may direct you into new bus only zones !! Hoping I don’t get a ticket for that

This hotel is old and a bit tired. Some of the communal areas were dirty and in need of decoration. There was a problem with the drain system which caused an overpowering stench in our room. The staff did change our room for us, however offered no incentive to compensate for the inconvenience. The smell was also evident in the restaurant by the kitchen which put us off eating in the hotel. We chose the hotel because of the spa facility however it’s very small and limited and there is a fee for using it on top of the room rate. The central location was quite good however this meant there was no parking at the hotel. You could use the NCP close by however even with a discount it was still expensive. Overall I would say it’s not quite the experience one would expect for the price. I wouldn’t revisit or recommend it I’m afraid.
