I am writing this now because I cannot sleep. We stayed at this hotel with my family while visiting a nearby school. Unfortunately I did not know the hotel restaurant becomes a nightclub all night long. We were on the third floor and it was like I was standing in the middle of the club 4 floors below me. The sign in the hallway asking for quiet was the most ironic thing I have ever seen. Even after the music way after I was told it might stopped drunk patrons yelled as they steamed into the streets. I also enjoyed the convient parking 1/2 mile away at the shopping mall in town as the parking

A visit to family required a stay in Clifton and this hotel suited our needs. A 2 Star cheap hotel with no thrills, nice enough room which was clean, spacious albeit very tired much in need of a revamp but nevertheless adequate. The info mentions external noise and boy was there until midnight mid week! Hotel is deep in University country so beware. Parking is our main issue, again it states that its first come first served and carpark was full by the time of our arrival. What was a surprise was the advise with a map handout showing nearest alternate parking a mere 45 minute walk away??? Parking

Room was too small as well as the bathroom - the shower wouldn't point downwards in a straight line that sprays towards the shower curtain and nearly floods the bathroom. The bathroom also smells of heat. I didn't think much to breakfast because croissant was cold. Also, TV remote didn't work so I had no TV for the whole weekend

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom decoration had been updated in the not too distant past. Breakfast was good. The big issue for us was that there didn't seem to be enough sound insulation. The basement bar underneath the room was so noisy the room was vibrating and you could hear voices through the floor - through to around midnight. You could also hear conversations out in the corridor. Not good enough for anything called a 'hotel'.

We came to stay at the Clifton hotel for one night to attend the Bristol hippodrome . We booked two rooms one king at 167.00 the others single at 110.00. The 110.00 room was a little cramped but the bathroom was not up to standard. I was shocked when opening the shower cubicle in the morning to find the ceiling completely covered with mould. This is not acceptable. The 167.00 room was dog friendly. We were greeted with a bed that had a blanket on it which was holding dust the room was also dusty. I have never stayed in a hotel with a dirty blanket on the bed! Our dog had her own bed does
