Excellent hotel, great location. Spacious room. Dog friendly. Only 1 thing still to be resolved, was I paid for the hotel,Parking and Pet separately with clear request for separate invoices, as I paid everything on arrival and make the request in advance before I arrived and at check in. yet when I checked out they had put everything onto one invoice. Apparently would have take time to resolve but I couldn’t wait. They said they would email-l it to me. But still not received and also reported that even with booking correspondence - I have never received any of their emails- not even junk. Hence wanting the invoice printed when I leave. I would have thought a weeks notice and a call and reiterated when I checked in, the importance of separate invoices was enough time to get ready for me. Minor if rectified and if the email is received- apart from this would highly recommend and would happily use again.

We spent two weeks at the Novotel and had a pleasant stay. The hotel is very well located, within walking distance of pretty much every major attraction (even the Clifton suspension bridge is only a 45-minute walk away). The room was nice and clean, the bed comfortable, the breakfast buffet decent, and the staff (front desk, dining room, and housekeeping) very nice and helpful. The only negative points, which other reviewers have mentioned, are the heat and the hot water. The room never got warm during our stay: it remained “warmish” at best. As for the hot water, it was rather unpredictable: some days there was plenty, others, not much.

Really noisy, the walls are really thin and we unfortunately had super noisy people either side. The hotel is dated and need upgrading really, for the money I've stayed in nicer hotels in Bristol. The staff were friendly fair play and the location is good, but I won't be back due to having a horrendous sleep due to noise.
