Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was kind, location was great. I had a room in their smaller secondary building and I didn't know the hotel didn’t have a lift so carrying all my bags up flights of stairs wasn't much fun... but everything else was great!
Excellent location - very friendly and efficient staff. Everything provided in room - would certainly stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great location but a few issues with early check in and our room was unfortunately very noisy due to its location within the building.
We will definitely return sometime but will request a quiet room.
Lovely traditional hotel in a great location. We would say that anyone with mobility issues may struggle with the flights of stairs in this heritage building. Rooms were spacious with nice views and bathroom was very nice.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Friendly, helpful staff. Room was clean and functional with everything I needed. On-site parking was a bonus and a very good breakfast (huge sausage!). I'd been disappointed with my stays in other Clifton hotels so was very please to have found this one. I will stay again.
Clean hotel, comfortable stay, good location for my needs. Shops and pubs within walking distance. Only criticism is the room I had could do with a bit of maintenance care; the light above the bed had a loose bulb, the shower head rail was loose on the wall and the plug didn’t fit the sink.
The hotel is very clean and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We were that happy we booked in on our return journey from Devon. The hotel faces the Victoria Square Garden, with a short walk through the garden you’re into Clifton village. There’s restaurants and shops within walking distance. Also the bus stop is outside the hotel, where the No8 takes you into the city, and the return stop is also outside the hotel. I would recommend staying here !
Spacious room with large bathroom.
Close to Clifton village and suspension bridge. Excellent 15 minute bus service to city centre and station. Bus stop right outside hotel.
Lovely old victorian building in a great location close to shops, pubs and restaurants in Clifton. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was clean and beds really comfortable. Great place to stay even if it was only 1 night
It was our first time staying in the centre of Bristol, and the Victoria Square Hotel was a good choice, we were pleased with its location, the friendliness of the staff and the facilities.
