Overall, a good experience and I would happily stay here again. The courtyard area gives a feeling of serenity in the busy Old City. The check-in experience was simple and painless. I stayed in room 19 which had an internal view from the window, meaning street noise was very much at a minimum. The room did have some peeling wallpaper, mould above the window and some areas could have been cleaner - but nothing major. The room was comfortable and of a good size, bed was comfy. I had breakfast in the morning which was freshly cooked and tasty, 8/10. The only issue was that the breakfast was mispriced in the guest book, so I was asked to pay more than was advertised. The staff member this time was a little cold and possibly irritated when I refused, but they relented in the end.

Excellent location for our son’s wedding.Less than 100yds. As it was the Easter weekend it was quite loud in the evening. Bedrooms were tight but comfortable and clean. Shower/ bathroom were very small but adequate. Excellent breakfast in the morning.

Lovely staff and the location was great. Decided to stay in one of the rockets which I really enjoyed as a unique experience The facilities needed updating. The bathroom door held together by Velcro and tired sofas and just general wear and tear in places. Generally clean however there was dirt and grime in places. Just needs a proper deep clean

Staying in a trailer on a roof is pretty sick, was well cosy, only wish the TV had some Netflix or something. Had a lush time regardless, they receptionists were really welcoming as well!

Quirky building in a buzzy area. Our room was a small odd shape and the comfortable bed filled a large part of it. Breakfast was very good. Fine for an overnight stay. Friendly staff.

Checked into Guesthouse welcomed by polite and friendly member of reception staff. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. Only negative we would point out is that our room was located at the back meaning the music from local bar was very loud and didn't stop till 2am.If your wanting an early night maybe ask for a room over looking court yard. Guesthouse is in good location for trip to hippodrome and visiting local shops and not to far from Bristol Temple meads..

Overall a nice, comfy property situated directly across from a lovely little food market. We were attending a gig at SWX so the location was pretty much ideal. We parked in the galleries car park which was a bit of a pain as we had heavy bags but it was only a 10 minute walk. The room was tidy however there was dirt in the shower and the batteries in the tv remote were slightly corroded and the tv was really laggy too. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We liked the little honesty bar which was useful when we wanted a bottle of water in the night and didnt want to go to the shop. Overall I would recommend.

Very friendly and helpful lady on reception. Guest house was in a great location with easy access to local amenities. Very clean and room was cosy with everything we needed. Food was very good at breakfast with lots of options freshly made to order by the chef. Highly recommend and on our next visit to Bristol will definitely stay here. A hidden gem

Beautiful, clean room, well-maintained property, helpful and friendly staff. The area was a bit dodgy after dark (and I was actually attacked by a random stranger in an utterly unprovoked incident-- a pack of feral youths riding around) but this hardly the hotel's fault.

We stayed in the 20ft Rocket on the roof. It was smaller than expected, but really great for 1 night. Staff were great and the place is very quirky and laid back. Location is amazing for fantastic food stalls, clubs and bars.

Great location in old Bristol, but no nearby parking. Also, our room smelled of cat urine, although we were able to air it out. We were also awoken in the middle of the night by loud patrons of a close bar.

Nice little place
The Brooks is a great place. We stayed on the top floor, Room 20 and it was very warm so had to keep the windows open. There were a couple of chaps have a heart to heart in the courtyard until 3 am. They weren’t being obnoxious but the voices echoed and it was hard to sleep. Not the hotel’s fault. Maybe a sign noting that voices will echo if you’re out there. I know all their secrets now! Otherwise very clean, quiet indoors. It was fully booked and I couldn’t hear lifts, doors etc.

This guest house is perfectly situated for the hippodrome theatre, a food hall selling all kinds of fantastic street food as well as lots of lovely restaurants on the way to the theatre. We booked one of the small caravans on the roof which was very cramped. We wouldn't book one of those again but we will definitely be returning to this lovely little guest house again very soon.
