Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Rodney Hotel is a unique and refreshing place to stay in the heart of Clifton Village, within easy reach of the suspension bridge and Temple Meads station via nearby bus routes. Guests appreciate the hotel's stylish, British décor and the comfortable rooms that include nice touches like cafetière coffee. Though parking is limited with only 7 spaces, many find the location and value for money to be fantastic, however some guests have noted noise issues in certain rooms due to the lack of soundproofing. Breakfast is also a highlight, with fresh and varied options available.

I found the room well-equipped with a bonus fridge for storing items. The location proved central to Clifton Village, handy for exploring local shops. Parking was available. This provided easy access. I really appreciated the calm atmosphere .

I noted a small maintenance issue, the bathroom could benefit from refurbishment, as there were chips on the bath.

The hotel staff was very cute. My room was comfy and clean with everything I needed. The breakfast menu had a good choice with generous portions.

The room was super tiny for the price I paid. The bathroom seemed aged. Parking is very limited at the hotel.

shower mold old grout

The location was great for exploring. Breakfast was good.

Our room felt quite small, really. The bathroom needed some attention, I think. The shower had some mold, and the grout looked pretty old, unfortunately. It just didn't have that fresh feeling one expects, ESPECIALLY for the price.
