Exceptional price/ value, very friendly and engaging host at reception arrival, functional room with period features e.g. large sash window and architraves. Bathroom finishes could be improved. Full English breakfast was fairly fresh and tasty. Would happily recommend and stay again.

Comfortable bed and very helpful staff. Easy check-in and check-out. Bathroom (Room 2) in need of some TLC as black mould on sealant a bath/shower area. Perfectly functional place to stay but I was glad to have had a 20% discount as at full price I’d have been unhappy!

Our 2 night stay at the Washington was lovely we were there for the Gromet Trail 3, the room was clean and well presented the staff friendly and helpful, the breakfast was nice. It is a short walk to Clifton village with bars and shops also close the bus routes, The only thing the car park was small.

Functional, no frills, & perhaps a little tired, but friendly staff & clean bedroom were the important things. The shared bathroom kind of worked, although it could have done with a little more attention in the cleaning. On the whole an ok stay, I’d certainly use again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff were really lovely. The receptionist on our arrival was very sweet and friendly. The ladies at breakfast were doing well considering there were just 2 of them and i think maybe one of them was also possibly cooking too. The washington staff are let down by the interior which is not their fault. You can only work with what you have. The bed was comfy and the welcome tray was a nice touch. Some reviews have been scathing but i think that's unfair. We had a comfortable night and we were well situated for town and transport. I could understand if you were paying hundreds a night but The Washington is essentially a bargain for a night in Bristol. The staff are fab and no complaints from us.
