Bristol Grand Hotel By Sunday

8/10 Good
"My room is on the second floor, but the lift is currently under maintenance, so I had to carry my luggage and bags up and down the stairs. My luggage was quite heavy. I chose to stay here because I was told there was a lift, especially as I had heavy luggage. The room is clean and tidy."
