Quick check in The room needed updating. There we no plugs near the bed. I found the bed Very hard and uncomfortable. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't do to work. Breakfast was very poor and my partner couldn't eat it.

Sad, attic room

Towels were good but hand towel had a hole in it. Staff were friendly. If you want to travel back in time to a shabby, doleful BnB but pay extra then stay here. Don’t stay in Winter, the window doesn’t close (or open for that matter). I expected more for the price.

The Channings

The location is good for Bristol, the hotel room was at the top of the building, very poor ventilation and although a fan was supplied, the room was very hot. Hotel room was very basic. We didn’t have the breakfast ,coffee was just a pot of filter coffee. The room seemed quite shabby, although was clean and the mattress comfortable.

Was Ok

Arrived and waited arou d 10-15 minutes for check in member of staff was looking to see where the lady was & unable to locate her. Was advised we were on the top floor....attic room was average size, very warm window opened slighly, view (brick wall) not great. Fan too small for room, tea/coffee etc supplied no option for cows milk or alternative. Shower was nice, water pressure was good. Was located right by the door on top floor so heard the door open everytime & people walking pass. Had food in restaurant was warm not hot.

Was reasonably priced for the area but still simple basics were missed and the top floor was far too hot. Two inches of window opening and a weak fan were not enough to prevent a terrible nights sleep.

This was a great location for us. It is only a 10 minute walk to the heart of downtown Bristol. We booked the family room. It offered plenty of space for my daughter and me. Around the corner is a GREAT sandwich shop called Sandwich Sandwiches. They close around 3pm so don't miss out on one of their freshly made masterpieces! 10 minutes away are lots of restaurant options for quick grab-and-go options. The hotel staff were awesome! I had a really long day of walking up and down hills and really needed an ice bath. The lady working the desk hooked me up and gave me a big bag of ice....very cool!

Woefully grim!

Very poor for a Green King. Property surrounded by resident permit bays only, which was not mentioned when booking, only no on site parking. Room was awful and grubby, in desperate need of updating (see photos) I would be embarrassed to have any family stay in this family room, it was that bad we almost left but decided to go out all evening and only reluctantly sleep there. Had i known the state of the place I would have stayed well clear. I have stayed at Green King places before and been generally happy, but this was a awful room. The busy pub downstairs was freindly and ok. Would not stay again and probably steer clear of Green Kings in future now. Cant add photos , but trust me it was very sub standard.

Good value room above a pub conveniently located

We stayed at Channings because it was convenient to visit family in Clifton. Rooms were fine for our needs, wifi was good enough for work-related video calls, continental breakfast was good. Staff were helpful. Since the rooms are above a bar, we were not surprised by typical noise from downstairs, and it did not affect our ability to rest and sleep.
