“The Clifton Hotel's location is a genuine plus, placing you within a short walk of Clifton Village and its charming boutiques. I appreciate the Grade II listed building's character, setting it apart from typical hotels; the on-site restaurant, with its seasonal British and Japanese offerings, seems a real draw. Private parking, while limited, is a definite perk in central Bristol.”
