...I stayed here on a Saturday evening in "Taittinger", all rooms are named after wines. The room was extremely spacious with everything you would expect of a brilliant hotel.
There were about 10 windows in my room, a massive shower. huge comfy bed and great toiletries in the two bathrooms.
The mini bar was well stocked, albeit a little pricey. They have Grey Goose vodka, nothing cheap here!
It is well placed for the Conference Centre and town centre. Opposite the Sray, would be a great view in Summer with all the flowers in full bloom.
Entrance hall and bar area were extremely comfortable and the check in was swift and efficient.
Only problem was the breakfast, it costs something like £13 but was really nice.
I would stay here again if I had the money. My room was about £200 but worth every penny....

Advantages: Fantastic bed, monsoon shower, great food, beautiful linen, central location, classy Disadvantages: not cheap!
...This is centrally located (5 minutes from the Hippodrome) in bristol in a beautiful old warehouse that has been converted. Brilliant conversion keeping old exposed brickwork but marrying it up with loads of glass etc - really nicely done.
The rooms are great - VERY comfortable beds, a great great shower and everything spotlessly clean. think crisp white linen and beautiful wooden bed frame.
The food is fantastic. Breakfast outstanding - dinner menu brilliant - none of this is cheap but it is luxurious. Great bar area with huge leather sofas and a cocktail menu to die for - they also have a small courtyard area outside, lovely library for functions for an after dinner relaxing drink.
Obviously the wine list is fab; it's what they do, and the service is immaculate from sommalier to chambermaid.
The hotel is located so you can...
