The staff were very friendly, our accessible room was spotless, and the shower had a chair, not one of those fixed to the wall things! It felt very safe having a shower ::
The only improvement would be to place a chair in one of the changing rooms by the sauna/steam room/gym, as getting showered and changed after having a steam/sauna was difficult!
We always stay at the Novotel when we visit Bristol as it is a great central base for exploring, the staff are lovely, it has good parking and it is also dog-friendly - what's not to like!
