Gerry Business - 19/02/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We were fortunate to be able to stay at the Novotel in Bristol during an essential work trip. We received a very warm welcome from Lynn. Our room itself was an experience, we had been booked into a suite which I would highly recommend, the suite had everything you could want for a stay and lots of room. The bedroom was separate with a large bed and large ensuite bathroom with a great shower and separate bath. It was obvious the room was prepared to COVID standards which was reassuring. We were greeted by Iain in the morning and again we received a very friendly personal service. Again all the communal areas and conference area were clearly set up to ensure compliance with social distancing. There were more than enough hand cleaning stations. Each delegate was given a separate tray with all of their refreshments for the day on it. We just wished we were staying longer and not just overnight. Looking forward to returning for more training courses in the future. 10 out 10, thank you.

Many thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback Gerry and what lovely comments you have made. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us and we are glad that our efforts to implement the Accor AllSafe program to make sure we offer a safe environment of both accommodation and event space were much appreciated as we tackle this global virus pandemic. We sincerely hope to see you and Jacqui back at Novotel Bristol Centre again in the near future perhaps for a leisure break on your next visit. Warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Rae Families - 03/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

One night stay midweek during half-term with 2 children aged 14 and 11 . Location great and plenty of parking, a real bonus in a city centre hotel. Short walk to great shops , the harbour side and everything else Bristol centre has to offer. Every member of staff that we met were extremely helpful , polite, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Hygiene within our room and public areas was excellent; with social distancing being maintained between individuals/families/groups. All staff wearing masks at all times and guests required to wear them unless eating or drinking in the bar or restaurant. Check in and check out quick and easy , paperless with receipts and confirmation sent straight to my phone and email. Due to Covid 19 some services were understandably limited and we had been informed on booking of these. They included things like the sauna being closed, China cups in rooms replaced with disposable ( I took my own mug) and a slightly limited menu in the restaurant. Despite this , 24 hour room service continues and the meals that we did have from the menu were superb with my 14 year old son telling everyone he sees that the 8oz burger was the best he had ever had ! I would definitely stay here again .

Wow, what lovely feedback Rachel, your comments are a great motivator for my team as we strive to ensure that the guest experience is not impacted due the constraints upon us as we tackle this Covid-19 virus. We are very glad that you and your family had an excellent stay and we look forward to your next visit back at Accor Hotels. Warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Was ok, wasn't the cleanest there were still hairs in the bath and stains on the floor

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback Rebecca, we were happy to hear that overall you had a good stay however, I was very concerned regarding your comment about the room cleanliness. Please rest assured that I have shared your feedback with my Head Housekeeper who will re-visit the cleaning procedures with her team to prevent future occurrence and please accept my sincere apologies. It is our hope that you will consider Accor Hotels again in the future, warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Ruby Couples - 01/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Nice hotel. Mostly nice staff. Rooms are not sound proof and you can hear other people around you. We weren't told there was a fire alarm practice on the Monday morning so completely freaked me out when it went off. I later noticed one sign in the reception area but it was in a screen that kept changing so not that obvious. Breakfast on the Saturday morning was not great but they were very busy. But one member of staff stood on his phone by the bar area while another man was running around. The breakfast came out wrong and the bacon was cold and tough. However this is a shame because the other two mornings the breakfast was lovely. I wasn't going to leave a review because I don't like to leave ones that aren't completely positive but I've had about 7 emails and notifications from booking.com to leave one.

Many thanks for your feedback Ruby, I was sorry to learn that on this occasion your experieince did not meet your expectations in particular the disturbance by noise and the service at breakfast on your last morning, please accept my sincere apologies. I will certainly share your comments with my team who will take the necessary measures to address your concerns to prevent future occurrence. It is our hope that you will consider Accor Hotels again in the future, warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Excellent family holiday.

Matthew H. Families - 30/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room ok, bathroom a bit tatty around the edges, some of the breakfast items over cooked. Parking was free due to Covid - why isn’t it free all the time?

Many thanks for your feedback Matthew, glad to hear you had a good stay and appreciated the complimentary parking on this occasion. As I am sure that you are aware, to assist our guest during this crisis with their expenses, we have introduced complimentary parking for a limited period. As we provide a large secure multi-storey underground car parking facility within the city centre then it is general commercial business practise to charge for this service. However, these charges then help towards the running costs of the extraction system as the health and safety of both guest and colleague is of paramount importance to Accor Hotels. We will certainly look forward to seeing you back at Accor Hotels again very soon, warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Tired Décor and Overrated

Customer review rating 1.0/5

Anonymous Business - 30/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Even taking Covid into account access to the reception from the underground car park was poorly thought out to the tune that patrons had to walk in the dark and rain up the entrance and exit ramp which was slippery and poorly lit. The room décor was tired and really needs replacing. For an establishment of this perceived quality the evening menu was extremely limited and unimaginative.

Many thanks for your feedback Peter, I was sorry to learn that your experience on this occasion did not meet your expectations prompting you to give an overall rating of just 2/10, in particular due to the access of the hotel via the onsite car park, please accept my sincere apologies. As I am sure that you can appreciate, the UK Government has implemented many restrictions on business's due to the Covid-19 virus. Part of which, they have introduced by law, that every guest must register in the Track & Trace which I understand was clearly explained by the team upon arrival. Therefore, please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused you due to this protocol put in place. We do appreciate your feedback during these difficult times as we tackle this virus and it is our hope that you will consider Accor Hotels again in the future. Warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Lovely staff, room was nice - but the bathroom doors are glass and are next to the head of the bed so light shines onto the bed at night and wakes you up. Bar area nice, check out nice and easy.

Nush2011 Family - 31/12/2019 TripAdvisor review

We had a good stay at the Novotel- Bristol. We booked a family room, the bed was comfortable and sofa bed was fine for the children. Rooms were clean, there was a tv, a blu tooth speaker, kettle, tea, coffee etc and there was an adjustable thermostat so air room temp was comfortable. Bathroom was a little tired, but clean and fit for purpose. There were shower gel, shampoo, and soap bars provided. A shower cap was provided when requested. Breakfast was lovely, there were fried eggs, English breakfast, pastries, vegan options, soya milk and a wide selection of cold foods also available and lots of food available. You can request other egg options and tea. On our last morning we arrived a little later and some of the breakfast items were running low. The waiter was very helpful, he had items made on request and brought out to us. There is paid car parking available in the basement, which is convenient. We walked into Cabot circus during the day, the reception staff gave us directions which was very easy and it took 10-15 mins. Not sure why but our card was not preauthorised this time for purchases. Maybe you have to request it? I so I was a but surprised that I had to pull out a credit card to pay for room service instead of adding it to our room bill. It wasn’t a problem, but I am used to adding any extras to our hotel bill. Overall we had a lovely stay, all the staff were pleasant, helpful, polite and accommodating,

Thanks so much for your review, it is appreciated and I am pleased that you had a good stay with us, in particular the pleasant and helpful staff. We are already looking forward to your next visit to Novotel! Warm regards, David - Guest Service Manager
