Nice hotel,great location in clifton tidy rooms with comfy bed,decent prices
Well situated for restaurants in the evening. Bus stop to and from Temple meads outside the hotel. Older property well maintained, friendly helpful staff. Lovely bar in the evening. Breakfast delicious. Visited 2 weekends in a row for rugby. A lovely 30 mins walk to and from Ashton Gate. And about 30 min walk to the Amphitheatre area.
Room was great and nice view out the windows.
Love the Clifton area

Clifton, where the Rodney is located, was perfect. We felt very safe walking around and found transportation easy to access. The hotel is very proud of their restaurant. We found it good but not excellent. We wished that we had not had breakfast included as there are lots of others options near the hotel.
The room was very clean… the bathroom was great with a huge tub!! Housekeeping kept everything fresh and clean. The front desk staff were awesome. Friendly, helpful and very welcoming. 4 1/2 out of 5!!
ps. Check out the Clifton Suspension Bridge while you are there!!
