Our second stay at The Wellington. A lovely gastro pub with B&B. Pub is lovely with great food. Room was large and light and airy with very comfortable bed and lovely furnishings. Bathroom is beautiful with a great shower, lovely towels and Elemis toiletries, even conditioner and body lotion. Tea and coffee facilities and water provided. Lovely choice for breakfast and cooked beautifully (eggs royale for me, full english for him) Staff lovely and friendly. Helped us out with taxi and very informative. Highly recommend

Relaxing and comfortable stay in North Bristol

I am so pleased I booked to stay three nights at the Wellington. Unlike a sterile chain-hotel, it was so comfortable and friendly. Even though the pub downstairs was buzzing I couldn't hear anything upstairs in my room from the pub or from any other guests, it was such a peaceful haven. My room had comfy armchairs as well as a huge desk that I could work at. I was also impressed with the cleanliness, particularly in the bathroom, everything was spotless. Plus, the staff were very friendly and the breakfasts were good too. Honestly, I can't fault it. Thank you for a really relaxing stay.

Really nicely furnished and decorated room and bathroom with a lovely comfy bed. A vast bath and shower, a separate seating area for two and a nice hospitality tray. It would have been a great room to catch up on some work if I had needed to. It was also really quiet; I had been a bit worried about this as I have stayed in some pubs where the noise in the room has affected sleep. Some of the furnishings were a little tired. Breakfast was served at 8.30, which in.my opinion is quite late. Had I known this when I booked I wouldn't have paid for it as I had to leave at 8.15 and there was no alternative offered apart from a packet of dry cereal (I had to ask to borrow a bowl and a spoon and go and buy milk) and a sandwich made up the night before which I never got.

We had a couples weekend away. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was amazing and comfortable. Food took a little time to come out, however was well worth the wait! Giant pizzas (enough for 2 of us to share) and highly recommend the ham croquettes!! Buses to the city centre are just outside and frequent. Thank you so much, we will definitely come back again.

The Wellington fit's the bill.

It is an excellent hotel, a great place to stay. My room was so clean and comfortable. An lovely bathroom with an excellent shower. I was given a friendly reception on arrival. I had a brilliant evening meal before walking to the local sports stadium to watch a football match. On my return to the hotel there were a lot of people in the bar and there was a superb atmosphere. I retired to my room for a great night's sleep. I woke up next morning to a full English breakfast, it was just a perfect stay. There is a brand new Railway Station within a short walk of the hotel.

Very happy with our stay

Older building pub and restaurant. Obviously the odd crack and water pipes making noises . Rooms are quite close and can hear above normal level voices . Air con was fine and shower plenty of hot water in morning ...less in evening. Restaurant was good and fantastic food on offer with reasonable prices . Best beef on the roast dinner I have ever had and huge Yorkie puds . Very happy with our stay
