為什麼人們喜歡它

- Located in the heart of posh Clifton Village, walkable to boutiques and cafes
- Goram & Vincent steakhouse offers serious coal-fired grills with a view
快速概覽： A stunning location and a legendary terrace attached to a hotel that feels a bit like a creaky, dark-hued maze.
由 @laurose2013 評論: I absolutely loved the moody aesthetic at this hotel. The lobby feels so exclusive, and my room had so much character with that retro bathroom. It’s the perfect spot if you want to stay somewhere with real personality in Bristol.
住過這裡的客人說
Reality check
Guests often complain that the 'village view' rooms are dark and overlook a car park (where a recent review mentioned rats), making the upgrade to a Gorge view mandatory.
- You're a couple looking for a romantic backdrop
- You prioritize location and views over massive square footage
- You love a moody, dark-aesthetic bar scene
清潔與維護
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reports of missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are a highlight—modern, tiled, and usually spotless. L'Occitane products are a nice touch.
- Maintenance: Historic building issues crop up: peeling paint on the exterior and creaky floors are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Crisp Egyptian cotton sheets and decent towels; rarely a complaint here.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature Hotel du Vin candles (woody/spicy), but some corridors can smell a bit musty due to age.

常見問題與隱藏小貼士
預訂前您真正想知道的一切。
Is there parking on site?
Yes, but it's very limited, tight, and costs between £12-25 per night. It's first-come, first-served, so have a backup plan for street parking.
Does the hotel have a gym?
No. Guests get access to the Clifton College fitness center, but it's an off-site walk, not an elevator ride away.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome for a £20-25 fee. They can hang out in the bar and lounge, but not the main restaurant.
Do all rooms have a view of the bridge?
No. You must specifically book a 'Gorge View' room. 'Village View' rooms look at the street or parking area.
Is there AC in the rooms?
Most rooms have air conditioning, but it can be hit-or-miss in effectiveness during rare heatwaves.
How far is it from Bristol city center?
It's about a 30-minute downhill walk or a short taxi/bus ride. The walk back up is steep!
內幕秘訣
- ✨
Ask for a 'residents parking permit' at reception if the lot is full; they sometimes have a few for street parking.
- ✨
The 'White Lion' bar has a separate entrance; use the main hotel entrance to avoid the pub crowds.
- ✨
Book dinner at Goram & Vincent around sunset—the light hitting the bridge is spectacular.
出發前需要知道的 5 件事
💡The hotel was formerly the 'Grand Clifton Spa' and you can still see the entrance to the old funicular railway next door.
💡The 'Cosy' rooms can feel like staying in a cupboard; the size difference between tiers is massive.
💡A recent guest review (Feb 2026) mentioned spotting rats in the car park area—keep your eyes peeled.
💡The lobby is intentionally kept very dark; it sets a mood but makes reading your room key tricky.
💡You are sleeping on top of a cliff; the wind can howl loudly through the gorge on stormy nights.
