Arnos Manor Hotel

offers a basic stay, but our experience was disappointing. My friends, celebrating their honeymoon, received an accusatory letter on their second day, alleging they had smoked in their room—a claim they firmly deny. The letter’s rude tone caused them unnecessary stress and made them feel unwelcome for the remainder of their stay. The hotel’s atmosphere felt off, and its location on a busy main road resulted in noticeable noise at night. Upon our departure, it took us an extra 15 minutes to leave our room, during which we received three separate knocks urging us to hurry. Overall, I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

We had the loveliest time here the staff were so lovely and friendly. It was about a 30 minute walk into town and if you are travelling into town at rush hour walking is the best way as the traffic was pretty bad. The room we stayed in was beautiful and clean and tidy and we were blown away by the service from the staff it really was lovely infact I was shocked to find they were part of a group and not independent as it felt the kind of service you would get from an independent. The bar and restaurants were lovely and the building was so beautiful inside and out we had a really lovely stay toiletries were provided and they smelt beautiful. thanks so much we had a lovely time.

The hotel is about 2 miles from the city centre and offers free parking (unlike many central hotels, which charge £10-15 overnight). I waited over 10 minutes for someone to arrive at reception to check me in- the lovely lady from the bar noticed me waiting and tried to radio someone. When they finally appeared there was no apology but a brisk check in, no mention of breakfast or amenities. The hotel overall is quite an attractive historic building but the rooms are rather run down. Mine had a radiator with screws pulled out of the wall, very squeaky floor boards and very uneven lino in the bathroom. The room was overly warm but not coming from the radiators, so not possible to turn down. Unfortunately there were noisy roadworks outside during the night- no fault of the hotel - but it would have been nice to have put guests away from the area while they are taking place if possible. I stay in Bristol regularly and will not be staying here again, it was overpriced for what it was.
