The Alma Taverns Boutique Suites - Room 4 - Hopewell

This is our third stay and is an exceptional location for exploring Bristol. I am a connoisseur of 'The Pub' as a concept. This is an example of a very fine pub. Staff are excellent, the landlord Toby has a very dry sense of humour but is a lovely bloke (just don't tell him a said so!) Book the theatre in advance, it always sells out, doesn't matter what's playing it's an experience, it's inexpensive and you get 25% off your pre theatre meal. The room itself is basic but the bed is another thing, you could play football on it it's so big and comfortable. Stay 2 nights and go explore the food on Whiteladies Road or get an Uber out to Little French an exceptional restaurant. We stay 2/3 times and year and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Somebody made an adverse comments about the entrance, it's a working pub and theatre with an entrance to 'the Green Room' and the 'Stage Door' it all lends a little quirkiness and authenticity to it all. It's a fantastic place to stay.

The shower would only run cold. The blind still needs fixing. Please Hopewell (property management company) pay attention to this. Otherwise great.

perfect location. great pub. very busy.

The shower just didn’t get hot. Luke warm at best no matter what I did. the water from the sink tap was hot though so that was frustrating.

Very nice room with convenient access to the city. The staff were friendly, the food in the bar was tasty, and yet the room itself was cozy and quiet. Highly recommended!

The steps are steep to haul a bag up, but this is really nitpicking. This is a great place and I would be happy to stay here again!

I've read a previous review slating the entrance and stairs. Come on this is working pub and theatre, what you get is authenticity. The rooms are lovely, spotless with a giant and extremely comfortable bed. The bathroom has a shower unit, none of this over the bath nonsense. The pub itself is a wonderful little jewel, hosted by the ever ebullient Toby, the beer and wine selections are exceptional and the atmosphere is great with an eclectic bunch of punters. The food is fresh and beautifully presented an delicious. The staff are exceptional and very accomodating. TIP! Pre book tickets for the theatre (it doesn't matter what's on!) We saw a wonderful one woman show called The One and Only about the music hall star Marie Lloyd. We were visiting for our 33rd wedding anniversary and I have threatened Toby that I am going again, definitely.

Nothing, absolutely nothing.
