We had a reasonably sized room with good facilitites - nice, if small, shower and coffee/tea making in the room. Cotham Brow is a quiet road and although our room faced onto it we were not disturbed. The timing of breakfast was a bit restrictive for a Saturday (between 8am and 9am) but the continental breakfast itself was fine. The biggest problem was parking. The roads surrounding the hotel are awash with double yellow lines and some are very narrow. We had to search for spaces and each time ended up a couple of hundred metres away from the hotel. Overall this is a B&B that gives a good basic service and is good value for a short stay in Bristol.

The location isn't as central as it could be. About a 10/15 min walk from the centre of Bristol but this is a pleasant B & B.

The rooms are clean and well kept, if a little dated decor-wise. And the continental breakfast was a little disappointing.

Would stay there again though.

If you need to stay on the north side of Bristol, this is a great choice. Excellent location, near to numerous good restaurants in one of the most interesting and useful shopping areas in SW England. Bristol city centre is within walking distance and the hosts are great. A spotlessly clean place with good security - about as much as you could expect for the price at the 3 star level. Nice, quiet room. Lack of off-street parking was a minor inconvenience.

From the moment you walk in the door you are made to feel welcome.

I had been looking to make a saving for the company in the current climate and looked to stop using the local Marriot hotel. I was looking for a place that was in easy distance of the office but not too citified - The Arches hit the mark.

Located just of the A38 Gloucester Road it is a convenient 10 minute walk into Broadmead and handy for a number of bus routes to other parts of the city.

I had a restful night, the facilities were clean and well serviced. Breakfast was great (despite me being a non-veggie!) with nice warmj croissants and lots of freshly brewed coffee - the list of teas available has to be the longets I have seen.

I will be back.
