"A bit tight on towels for two people..."

My husband & I stayed for one night to attend an evening function at Thornbury Castle (a short drive away). Lovely welcome from staff, very helpful with details for taxis etc. We were told there was no need to book a table for breakfast which we’d prebooked (Sunday 8-10am) & there was a large choice of tables even when we arrived at the pub next door at 9.30am. The hot breakfast is waiting for you in warming trays which is great for diners in a rush (rather than ordering & waiting on the kitchen). Don’t let the look of the building put you off, the rooms inside are what you’d expect from a Premier Inn. Parking is free. The only negative was that only one hand towel, one bath towel & one bath mat were provided in the room. We were told at check-in that if we required anything else to let reception know but I would be a given that if the room booking is for two people/ two people are checking-in, that there would be 2 x hand towel & 2 x bath towels provided in room (as what we’ve had at Premier Inn’s before as standard, extra towels, a bolster & an extra pillow. The shower wasn’t the warmest either but was ok.

"Overnight stay"

We stayed here recently for a wedding that was taking place nearby. Our check in went smoothly (we were able to get access to our room early which was great) and the room was average. The bathroom was a bit tired and the bath was too short for a bath. The bathroom also needed a good clean as there were some nasty stains on the walls. Unfortunately we were disturbed in the evening/night by some inconsiderate neighbours. We did call down to reception who asked them to keep the noise down. It worked for a bit but then started up again. The biggest let down was the breakfast. A lot of the continental items weren't available (no croissants, bagels, pain aux raisins) so I was limited what I could eat. I requested a smoothie as per the menu as was offered a Jelly Squeeze orange flavoured jelly (in a sachet like baby food comes in). I thought I'd try it and it poured out a orange water, which didn't look very appetising. As we don't drink tea or coffee, the smoothies were one of the reasons we chose to have breakfast here rather than anywhere else. My husband had the full breakfast but was struggling to find any bacon on the bacon as it was very fatty. We had to ask them to keep topping up the items that were available and a lot of the crockery was dirty and not replaced. I accept that they were quite busy on the Sunday morning but they know how many people are staying at the hotel and can make a good guess as to how many will have breakfast and make sure they are staffed appropriately and have the necessary food in stock. We wouldn't return to this hotel.

"One towel between 2"

My husband and I stayed for one night. The room was clean and what you would hope for. It was quite and we both had a good nights sleep. It wasn’t until the next morning that we realised that there was only one bath towel. So only one of us could shower. As we needed to get away early there was nothing to be done.

"Not a good sleep and no hot water !"

Room was good but fire alarm on at 2 am and no explanation after standing outside for 30 mins and then no hot water at 8 am not what I was expecting. Very dissatisfied I’m afraid . Staff at the desk didn’t seem bothered .

"Where do i start ? Lol"

Well staff seem fine so far even though ive no been here for longer than half hour yet . But yes me and a business colleague are staying here atm . Both have the same price room but have been given 2 totally different rooms. His is what it says on the tin big double room sofa plenty of space ect... then mines half the size i barley have room to stretch my body . But i aint type to moan about that thats a pisstake no matter what dont get me wrong 80 odd quid for a room that makes harry potter's room under the stairs look like the ritz but yeh it is what it is . But what i cant stand is the fact i have everything but tonight's tea on the walls im talking dried snot , squished bugs , flys and cobwebs all over the ceiling and the walls . For a hotel that charge a decent amount of money for 1 nights stay honestly id expect alot better , im not used to 5 star hotels or anything i normally use cheap travel lodges. I come from a council estate in wolverhampton trust me im far from posh but for the money thats been paid and for me to even write a review which ive never done in my life even signed up to this site just so hopefully they read this and sort these problems out . It really aint on . But as i said at the start staff seem nice but definitely need to give customers equal rooms really annoying when you both pay the same price and find out your mates got a room to accommodate hugh hefner and all the playboy bunnies aswell as himself . And im stuck with a room thats reminding me of my garden shed .

Hotel description Premier Inn Bristol Alveston gives you the best of both worlds: a lovely rural setting paired with top-notch transport links. Close to the M5, M4 and M48 we're a great stop-off on the road to Cornwall, Devon and Wales, as well as local attractions. Hit the shops at Cribbs Causeway or hit the greens at Thornbury Golf Club. Get your fashion fix in Bristol City Centre. Or, if you're here on business, you'll find Thornbury Trading Estate, Aztec West and Filton Airbus just minutes away. Once you're done, come back and relax in one of our new generation bedrooms featuring an impressive 40" flat screen TV, bright, modern bathroom with large shower head, and slumber-inducing Hypnos bed.
