Top Wells Hotel Reviews

Mollie's Bristol

Mollie's Bristol

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed a nice stay at Mollies, we stayed for 1 night as a stopover. The hotel is modern and well maintained. We chose the quadruple bunk bedroom as thought it was quirky and the kids would enjoy. The room was generally clean - but there was a lot of dust on the floor under the beds. The rain shower was amazing. We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. The food was OK, but quite expensive for what it was. It would have been nice for breakfast to have been included in the booking price as it felt like an expensive add on. But overall we had a nice stay, we enjoyed the games in the reception & garden area and it was nice to have tea and coffee on tap! We would visit again!"
