"Our first visit but hopefully not our last. The staff we engaged with here were friendly, helpful and efficient. Our rooms and indeed the whole hotel was clean, however it could do with some updating and maintenance. Breakfast was delightful with a good variety of continental and cooked breakfast choices. The bar stocked a good variety of drinks. Great location with plenty to do around the area."

"I was very impressed with price for great room and breakfast. Was central to all the walking we wanted to do. Following a Mystery Guide puzzle walk, then comedy magic at Smoke & Mirrors, then great food at the Himalayan, then 3 hours busy at SS Great Britain dockyard Hotel Bristil was perfect location for our stay. Would happily use again"
