Karin Couples - 30/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Have stayed here twice, would recommend to others and would stay here again if visiting Bristol. Approx 5 minute walk from Temple Meads Station, 5 minute walk to city centre and plenty of bars/pubs/restaurants all nearby. All staff encountered were excellent and friendly. Did not dine in the hotel so cannot comment on the food.

Thank you for your feedback Karin, happy to hear this was your second visit and that you were happy with your stay, we really appreciate your comments. For obvious reasons, we know that it will be sometime before you will be able to enjoy a future leisure visit due to Covid-19 however, we will certainly look forward to seeing you when Accor Hotels bounce back in the future, In the meantime stay safe and well. Warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Excellent service

Tom Business - 23/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Under the current circumstances with covid-19 the hotel was quiet and the staff were very helpful, there were plenty hand sanitizer bottles available around the hotel. The hotel was very clean and I was pleased to have had a 'Japanese' themed room. this was my first stay at the hotel in Bristol and I will gladly be booking again in the future (once Covid-19 disappears......)

Wow what lovely feedback Tom, we really appreciate your comments as this is a real motivator for my team as we struggle to come to terms with this unprecedented situation. On a more positive note, we do know that that these uncertain times will eventually come to an end allowing Accor Hotels to bounce back with the service that we pride ourselves on. We will certainly look forward to welcoming you back again when this is all over. In the meantime, please stay safe and well. Warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Comfortable.

Phm Couples - 20/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Traffic in Bristol is a lot worse than we remembered, this made locating the hotel more difficult than expected. Not your fault. Hotel was clean, well presented and all the staff helpful and attentive. Evening meal very good, good value too. Choice of cereal at breakfast disappointing. Croissants and Pain Au Chocolate good. Hearing the deliveries being made at the rear of the hotel before 07:00 hrs was not expected. Room313. We had to check out a day early and your front desk managers resolved our problems promptly.

Many thanks for your feedback Paul and happy to learn that overall you had a good stay and we appreciate you letting us know. We will certainly look forward to your next visit back at Accor Hotels, warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Anonymous Business - 19/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

No one at the hotel due to corinavirus. Thought might therefore get some special treatment like an room upgrade...but no! Wasn’t told where any facilities are, didn’t ask if I’d had a good journey, in fact nothing. And I’m a member.

Thank you for your feedback Vickie, I am very sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations on this occasion prompting you to give an overall rating of only 4/10 in particular, due to the hotel being very quiet, please accept my sincere apologies. Whilst, I am sure you can appreciate and understand, there is so much concern currently due to the worldwide crisis of Covid-19 which is very challenging for our industry together with the uncertainty of our current working procedures. I would however, like to re-assure you that the wellbeing of both guest and colleague is of paramount importance to Accor Hotels and we are doing our utmost to remain positive and believe our teams and properties will make a rapid bounce back when this situation is finally over. I will certainly pass on your feedback to my team to ensure we implement measures to prevent any similar feedback in the future and it is my hope that you will consider Accor Hotels again in the future. Please stay safe, warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Nicola S. Couples - 16/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We spent 3 nights in the hotel, which is conveniently placed close to Bristol Temple Meads station and within walking distance of main sights. We didn’t eat in the hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable, although the Japanese them was a bit odd. Our only criticism was the quality of the Wi-fi, which was very patchy and didn’t work at all on one side of the room, the best signal was in the bathroom.

Delighted to hear you had a comfy stay Nicola and many thanks for taking the time to let us know, we really appreciate your feedback. Looking forward to seeing you again back at Accor Hotels very soon, warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Great base for Cheltenham Featival

Tim H. Couples - 15/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The 2nd time we have based ourselves at this hotel for our day at the Cheltenham Festival. A few minutes walk from Temple Meads station from where Cheltenham is under an hour away. Rooms are very comfortable and the public areas including bar and restaurant are welcoming with friendly and professional staff. The buffet breakfast is excellent and we enjoyed our one evening meal in the restaurant - food quality very good along with service. Would definitely recommend this hotel when visiting Bristol - great value

Wow, what lovely feedback Tim, thank you for letting us know and we are glad to hear that you would recommend the hotel in particular if attending the Cheltenham Races. We will certainly look forward to seeing you back at Accor Hotels again in the near future, hopefully prior to the next Gold Cup ! Warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

M. Families - 14/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Stayed one night in a family room with 2 year old. The room was lovely and clean with a small fridge which is perfect when you have very young children. The hotel is well situated for a stay in bristol city. The breakfast was really good with lots of choice, I would recommend the pancakes. The best part was how friendly and helpful the staff were! 100% recommend a stay here.

We were really happy to learn that you had a fantastic family stay with your two year old Kayleigh and in particular that you found the team to be friendly and helpful. We appreciate your comments and I will certainly share your feedback with my team. Looking forward to welcoming you back to Accor Hotels in the near future, warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Room mediocre, staff excellent

Customer review rating 4.4/5

James Business - 13/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Hi. I had a one-night stop in a suite in Bristol. I was overall disappointed with the room. It smelt badly of someone else's perfume throughout, which indicates the cleaning was poor. Indeed, that was my general impression. The room was not terribly clean or in great condition, which is a shame for a £200 / night room. It was all just a little bit tired. The bed was great though and the general amenities -- coffee, working space and so on, were good. On the other hand, the staff at the hotel were excellent. The welcome from the night receptionist (a Portuguese man, if you can identify him) was warm and courteous, and he brought fresh milk for me. A very nice experience from an excellent team member. So, if you could work on the rooms to get them up to the next level, it would be excellent.

Good morning James, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Bristol Centre. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations, in particular the cleanliness of your bedroom please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At Novotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer, therefore your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that i have passed your comments on to Nikki Carnell our Housekeeping manager to ensure that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. I am pleased however that the reception staff were helpful and i will pass your comments on to Vitor our night team member who welcomed you at the hotel. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Have a lovely weekend. Sincerely, Lisa Davis Welcome Manager

Peter O. Families - 11/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

arrived early (11am) but the room was available so was checked in which was really handy. The car park was a little cramped and disappointed I had to pay extra (£10 for 24 hrs). Big reception and the gentleman was very friendly. Room was fine for 24 hour stay and my 2 children were happy the sofa bed folded down to 2 separate beds. Would have been nice to have a bottle of water in the room but otherwise really nice room. Breakfast was good plenty of choice in the buffet style. bar seemed to be OK but didn't really stay long enough to give a good report. Drinks were reasonable. Quite enjoyed the fact my bill was sent in the morning already charged to my card, so had I not had to pay for the car park could just have left. A little walk (20 mins) to the shopping area but excellent for the station.

Happy to hear you had a very good stay with your family Peter and many thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback as we really appreciate your comments. We will certainly look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Accor Hotels again in the near future, warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

a stone throw from Temple Mead train station

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Cat Solo - 10/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I stayed one night only, on a Saturday night in room 320. I was attending a course in one of the conference rooms on first floor, the whole of Saturday and Sunday it was handy to be able to just go upstairs and my car was in the garage below. many of my colleagues arrived by train from Temple Mead station and it was very convenient being so close by. the staff on desk was lovely and friendly as well as in the restaurant. the breakfast buffet was fine and copious. the only disappointment is the cleanliness of the bathroom. I know it is not an easy and pleasant job, but there was a small clump of dark hair, stuck to the shower wall (from previous visitors) and the metal fixtures looked old and tired and covered in limescale especially the shower screen hinges etc... I would have expected at £111 a night to find a shinier, sparkly bathroom, thank you... (Viakal works a treat!).

Many thanks for your lovely feedback Catherine especially about the team, we truly appreciate your feedback. I was however, sorry to learn that the housekeeping and maintenance of your bathroom did not meet your expectations and I will certainly pass your comments onto my Maintenance Manager and Head Housekeeper who will take the appropriate measures to prevent future occurrence and thanks for letting me know. It is our hope to see you back at Accor Hotels again very soon, warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager

Decent stat, but wellness area was not great and the couch in the room to hard to sit on

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Erik Friends - 09/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Location was good, great base to explore the city. The couch in the room was very hard though, I hurt my knee when sitting on it. Also the steam room didn't work, which I flagged twice with staff, but wasn't addressed during our stay so we didn't get to use those facilities at all, so don't count on using those when you visit...

Many thanks for your feedback Erik, glad to hear that overall you had a decent stay however, I was sorry that you found the sofa a little too firm to sit on and that there was an issue with the timer on the steam room, please accept my sincere apologies. I will certainly investigate your concerns and take the appropriate measures to prevent future occurrence and thanks for letting me know. It is our hope that you will consider Accor Hotels again in the future, warmest regards, Iain France - General Manager
