Channings Hotel by Greene King Inns

Channings Hotel by Greene King Inns

3.5/559 Reviews
Clifton
We had a wonderful time at this charming hotel, as if we were staying in a merchant's house. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making our experience truly memorable. The hotel provided a fantastic opportunity to relax and explore all that the historic city of Bristol has to offer, including the 6 O'clock Gin Distillery, the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. The rooms were spotlessly clean and well maintained, creating a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. We have to give a special thanks to Graca, Millia and Nushu from the pub who made our evenings truly enjoyable. The kitchen also offered excellent breakfasts. We were left full of impressions from this city of once a wealthy merchant, and now a young student thanks to the University of Bristol.

Booked one of the Mews houses for us, our daughter and her boyfriend to stay in on the night of the night of her graduation. It was perfect. 2 bedrooms plenty large enough, both can be set up with large double bed or twins. One is ensuite and there's a separate bathroom. Robes, slippers and L'Occitane toiletries provided. The bedrooms and utility room are downstairs with a good sized open plan living area upstairs. Fairly well equipped kitchen as far as I could tell. ( we didn't cook but I checked). Furnishings and fittings are obviously fairly new and everything is good quality and the whole place was spotless. In short we absolutely couldn't fault it. Our only regret? That we weren't staying longer. For anyone looking for accommodation near the University of Bristol it's close and I'd absolutely recommend this place

Good standard of accomodation - studio with plenty of room for two. It was clean and had everything we needed. Plus the added bonus of actually being able to open windows! Easy to find and about 25 mins walk from the main centre. But very near Whiteladies Road with a fantastic choice of bars and places to eat, plus a couple of small supermarkets. Free parking available at rhe back. Booking was easy, communication Good and efficient. Checking in was contactless and easy. Check out 11.00 am which was also a bonus. Only issue was I asked if we could leave our car in the carpark on check out day, knowing that folk couldn't check in before 4pm. I was told that we could but we would be charge £5.00 !an hour!! Needless to say we.didnt! ! Overall though, we would stay again!!

Breakfast is very good, bread and fruit juice buffet, as well as a pure English breakfast, free order, taste very good! Drinking tea to tea cups is very exquisite, a breakfast out of a holiday feel! A family of three, asked if they would like an extra bed when they arrive at the hotel? We didn't add it, so we gave us the largest double bed room. The room was not as soundproof as the comment said. Very quiet, right next to the suspension bridge. This is also the hotel we were most satisfied with for a month in Bristol!

Stayed here for two nights in September 2022. The staff are very friendly. The hotel is on the edge of Clifton, which appears to be a very affluent area. A twenty minute walk will take to to the Clifton suspension bridge to take in some lovely views. The bridge visitor centre and observation tower are well worth visiting. The number 8 bus which you get around the corner takes you into Bristol city centre in around 15/20 minutes, so all in all, a good location. The hotel offers a substantial free cooked and buffet breakfast which is why I am awarding it three stars. You will need to book a time slot. Now the not so good…………… Our room was on the ground floor and needs a refurb. A rotten window frame, mould in the shower and on the bathroom ceiling, a hole in the net curtain, an uneven wobbly floor and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling were not a great look. The bed and towels were clean, but despite the fact I was there for two nights and a couple of small towels were left on the floor, they weren’t changed, even though someone had clearly been into our room to provide biscuits for our tea and coffee (which i add, was a lovely gesture). Neither was our bed made. Now I realise the management will say if we had complained, we may have been moved, but that’s not the point. That room (room 11), would have been provided to another guest or guests if we had been moved. It just needs a refurb and then perhaps the next guest would give the hotel four stars. Really enjoyed Bristol. First time I have visited, but found it really interesting. Lots to see and do and the people are very friendly.

Visited to settle offspring into University. The best feature for me was the small lockable hotel garage, which meant a car full of student ‘stuff’ could be safely left overnight- gave tremendous peace of mind. Staff were really friendly and helpful. There was a reliable lift. Racks restaurant also had responsive, efficient staff, and the food was palatable. I expected the location to be much quieter than was the case, there was a lot of noise from outside, including happy drunks and traffic. Whiteladies road, with a wide choice of cafes and restaurants is within walking distance and Clifton village and The Downs a short drive away. On-road parking is mainly permit for residents and pay & display parking is extremely limited. We booked single rooms for a short stay, but they were extremely small, so if staying longer, you would definitely want a larger room. Overall, a good place. The secure parking was the outstanding feature for me.

Bristol Clifton Hotel Guide

Hotels in Bristol

Weather & the best time to travel Bristol:

When you think of an ancient historical city, which has seen the gores and glories of the world through ages, Bristol, a city in the southwest part of England, certainly should qualify to be it. It spans the River Avon spreading on both sides of it. It is a hub of a prosperous historical journey and for the travellers, it is a year-round destination. The springtime is between March and May. The temperature and humidity put together to give a moderate cold feeling. The standard temperature varies between 9°C and 18°C. During all these months, raining for 5 to 6 days per month is pretty natural. However, spring is not conducive to tourism. Hence it is the best time to score great Bristol hotel deals during the summer when Bristol displays comfortable weather and tourism is at its peak. The summer spans from June to August. There are several outdoor cultural events during this time. Harbour Festival and Shakespeare Festival are in July. The International Balloon Fiesta is held in August at Ashton Court. The fall feels windy and chilly between September and November as the temperature ranges from 8°C to 20°C. You can expect it to snow from 4-11 days every month. There is a boom in tourism during these months too. So, while you reserve hotels in Bristol during summer and fall, make sure you are booking much ahead. December to February is very cold and it is winter in Bristol. The cold weather and a lot of rain do not promote tourism.
