Good location but expensive for a three star hotel

Breakfast was average with some items missing from the English breakfast - on both days we were there. The toast making facilities were very bad. The room was average with one of the beds nearly blocking the bathroom door. There was no extractor fan in the bathroom.

Our 2 night stay at the Washington was lovely we were there for the Gromet Trail 3, the room was clean and well presented the staff friendly and helpful, the breakfast was nice. It is a short walk to Clifton village with bars and shops also close the bus routes, The only thing the car park was small.

Liked: Staff & service
Functional, no frills, & perhaps a little tired, but friendly staff & clean bedroom were the important things. The shared bathroom kind of worked, although it could have done with a little more attention in the cleaning. On the whole an ok stay, I’d certainly use again

All the public areas, door handles, TV remote control, window sills carpets and bed spreads need a deep clean. Otherwise, the reception staff and breakfast service staff were great. It’s a shame that the lack of cleanliness lets them down

The hotel was in a good location and the reception staff were friendly. It felt very safe as a solo, female traveller. For the price, the bedroom and en-suite were well designed and very comfortable. However, there was a bit of a damp smell in my basement room, there were several patches of peeled paint, neither bedside lamp worked and the sash window rattled considerably. Unfortunately, they were unable to move me without me checking out at 11 and checking in again at 3, which wasn’t possible due to a wedding. With a bit of maintenance, the room would be excellent for the price.

Very tired decor however bed linen and towels were clean. Bed was comfy. Fairly good breakfast although basic - more attention needs to be paid to wiping and clearing tables, cleaning sauce bottles and replenishing the small buffet.Welcome was friendly. Shower was fairly weak and went hot and cold, the sink, taps and bath were old and stained through age. The bedroom carpet and walls were were also quite stained. The hotel is in a very good position to go out for the evening.

Staff are nice shame about the room

Staff were really good. Howver the room was too small for 2 adults and 1 child, there was no space for the travel cot. Plus the windows were really dangerous for a small baby who is walking and exploring. Bathroom is really outdated and as a result feels grubby.

Great value

Really good value for money, great staff and good cleanliness standards. Breakfast is included in the price but the compromise is that the sausage and bacon is poor quality. Please replace the toasting machine! I will come back though x

Nice staff but not clean

The staff were lovely, warm, inclusive, and welcoming. I appreciated the comfortable bed, the bath, and the thoughtful in room touches like fruit, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate (you need to label the jars). However, the overall experience was let down by several serious cleanliness and maintenance issues. The curtains didn’t cover the full window, the sheet didn’t fully fit the bed, and there was a long hair in the bath, rubbish in the bathroom corner, and an old plaster under the radiator all of which remained even after I requested the room be cleaned. Breakfast was served on cold plates, and the sauce bottles were covered in months (if not years) of dried residue. I raised this with staff, and while the plate was warm the next day, the dirty bottles remained. These might seem like minor issues individually, but together they reflect a lack of attention and care so more like a dated budget B&B than a premium Bristol hotel. Cleanliness and basic standards shouldn’t be optional, and unfortunately, this let down what could otherwise have been a pleasant stay.
