The hotel staff were very helpful and nothing was too much. Bed was very comfortable and clean would definitely go back . We had great food in the bar and wasn’t expensive and came quickly but as for the bar staff they were very slow on there phones and there was a queue always so you were 10/15 minutes getting a drink. It was quicker to go to the small hotel bar but other than that had a fantastic stay and look forward to going back

I’m writing to share some feedback on a recent visit to your hotel, which unfortunately fell far short of expectations – especially given Hotel du Vin’s reputation for quality and its focus on wine. I specifically booked with you because of your wine offering. However, when I went to the bar, I was told there was no wine list available. The staff member was unable to advise on the wines and offered me just one option for rosé – a standard, widely available bottle. I opted for a red instead, which again was a very generic choice, and not what I had hoped for in a hotel that prides itself on wine. The staff member serving me clearly had no experience handling wine. They cut the foil incorrectly, couldn’t remove it fully, and ended up pulling the cork through the foil – pouring the wine from a ragged hole. This is not what I would expect from a wine-led venue and frankly, was quite disappointing. I ordered a vegan meal – one of only two vegan options available – and a small glass of Rioja. When I checked the bill, I noticed I was charged more than expected. The server was unable to explain why, eventually discovering I had been automatically charged a discretionary service fee of £3.56. To be clear: I had walked up to the bar, ordered at the till, and had no prior interaction with the staff. There was no option for me to approve or adjust this charge, and I do not feel this was justified. After ordering, I found a table on the terrace which was visibly dirty – food debris an

The Perfect Stay

A beautiful hotel with wonderful staff. Room exceeded expectations and we went for a balcony as the view over the Avon Gorge looking at The Suspension Bridge is stunning. A pretty faultless experience all round and highly recommended!

The view of the Clifton Suspension Bridge from the room and at breakfast was a special feature, and the bedroom and en-suite were high quality and suitably designed for the historic feel of the hotel. The location was superb and therefore popular for users of the adjacent White Lion. We were confused, not to say disappointed, to find that the menu in the room included items that we could not get in the restaurant, only in the White Lion, and our alternative menu choice was not available on the night. But of course the breakfast was the usual excellent Hotel du Vin offering as in all the other eighteen we have stayed at. This was our nineteenth of nineteen and a great way to finish!
