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!

Hotel bathroom is very dirty mould growing around soap dispensers, also tea&coffee tray is full of dust seem like never been cleaned for long time. Theme of the hotel is to keep it dark that’s why they can hide the dirt. Bringing a dog carries a charge of £25 per dog, per night which includes a dog bed, bowl and for the deep cleaning ( what is deep cleaning?)

Its a great location with spectacular views of the Avon Gorge ... Good size rooms and facilities. What could improve is dining and weird connection to next door pub, i was happy to have eaten dinner in hotel restaurant, but on a warm evening you have to sit inside (no access to terrace), for outside sitting you have to go to the pub (which is connected to the hotel) and queue (very slow) to order ... surely this would be better if you sorted this out.

Fantastic staff.

The staff were amazing in the Avon Gorge hotel and really make the place. We found the breakfast to be of a good quality as were the drinks and were worth the upgrade. What we did find is that the hotel MISSED its spring clean and has dirty marks on carpets and the bathroom had dust and marks in. We also found lamps with bulbs that were not working and the air conditioning smelt, which was also not helped by have to prop windows open, as the sash windows were broken in our room and my father in laws. Overall a reasonable place to stay, that with a bit more effort in cleaning and maintenance could be perfect.

Avoid apart from view

Useless room if you have luggage or are disabled. Clothing storage useless. Expect to live out of a suitcase. Beautiful refurbishment, but bring extra lighting for shaving and make up.
