I stayed at this hotel for one night 11th June. After reading earlier reviews I had requested one of the renovated rooms, with a view of the gorge and bridge. The room was big, bed comfortable and shower/bathroom were a good size. The evening service in the restaurant was great, attentive without being obtrusive - I dont know the name... More

Stayed here recently for work. On checking in I was advised I was staying in a refurbished room. Firstly, always ask for hand with your luggage. As much as there is a lift, there are lots of little sets of stairs which join up bits of the building and some of the corridors are very narrow. If you have limited... More

We went to a wedding here on Friday 7th June and having read a lot of the reviews we were expecting the worst!

The Avon Gorge Hotel was a lovley place for a wedding reception and vastly helped by the beautiful weather allowing us to use the terrace over looking the gorge. I stayed in room 135 which is huge and welcoming. The bed was comfortable and the shower powerful. Yes the decor and the TV were a little dated but apparently there... More

We attended a wedding and stayed at the Avon Gorge recently and were very disappointed with a number of aspects. Firstly the beds in the twin room (there were no double rooms left when we booked several months ago). Although the beds themselves were ok the duvets were tiny and didn't come over the sides of the bed culminating in... More

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for one night. The room was small but clean and the bed comfortable. The view of the Clifton Suspension Bridge and over theGorge lovely to see from the bedroom window.

I have been staying at this hotel for 44 years. It's not very often 'Jewels' stay the same, I can report that the hotel may have changed its name since I first stayed there. It was called the 'The Grand Spa' and it was very grand - it was the best hotel in Bristol by far. It might not be... More
