“This property has potential, but reports of bedbugs and inadequate heating raise serious concerns about hygiene and comfort. While some guests appreciate the staff's friendliness and unique room layouts, the management's responsiveness to critical issues appears to be lacking. I would advise caution and thorough research before booking a stay here.”

Feedback about The Washington from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Washington in Bristol is appreciated for its location, convenient for reaching Clifton bridge and with bus stops nearby for exploring the city, just a walk away from the center. Guests often enjoy the breakfast, and many rooms feature a welcome tray with coffee, tea, biscuits and fruit, complemented by comfy beds and pillows for a pleasant stay. While some guests have mentioned issues like the general need for updating and tired rooms, others appreciate the powerful showers and the high ceilings that create a spacious feeling, even in smaller rooms. A discount voucher for Racks restaurant adds extra value to the experience.

Acceptable, but Some Issues

mold on the walls fluctuating shower
The breakfast was quite good with many options.
My room was not very clean. I found mold on the walls around the radiator and the shower water temperature fluctuated a lot. The room wasn't cleaned between nights perhaps I was supposed to request that.

a mixed experience, frankly

breakfast chaos disinterested staff
the room was okay and easy enough for a single person.
I had real issues with breakfast. It was chaotic when i arrived at the booked time. all tables were full, and there were no reserved spots. this meant i missed breakfast and spent extra money on food elsewhere. the staff didn't seem too bothered about it, really.
