Our stay was fine

Our stay was fine, but we had a thick winter duvet on our bed(we only realised when we got back late from supper) and we had a rotten nights sleep as, not surprisingly for mid July, was so hot. Pretty thoughtless of the hotel not to have changed the weight of the duvet.

Great place to stay in Bristol

Second stay in a couple of weeks. Very comfortable and easy parking. Managed to walk into the city centre - it’s quite a way and uphill on the way back. Sounds worse than it actually is.

Really enjoyed our stay here and the area is very pretty and high quality.The room was great very clean and had everything we needed.Location was good as a stroll away were the main amenities with great shops bars restaurants and green spaces. My only concern was we got the impression there may have been staffing issues as we waited for our breakfast for quite a while (we had to pre fill in breakfast forms) plus the portions/accesible items were not very substantial.Tea/coffee/juice had to be pre ordered the sugar and butter portions were brought to our table instead of being accessible...for the price we paid for breakfast it felt a little underwhelming as if they were being careful with portions.If staying here try to get a room at the rear of the property as road noise can be disturbing.

The room was great. Cleanliness was amazing. The issue was the wait at breskfast. We had too ask the young girl too serve us, she was more intent on cleaning tables, which I found a bit odd as there were only 2 tables having breskfast. We had to continually ask for coffee/ orange juice. We waited over 20 minutes for our breakfast to arrive, yet we had ordered it when we arrived.

A pleasant stay

It was our first time staying in the centre of Bristol, and the Victoria Square Hotel was a good choice, we were pleased with its location, the friendliness of the staff and the facilities.
