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.
