Reviews for Aztec - A Shire Hotel & Spa

Review 1:Noisy from a function.... Was the same last time I stayed & thought it was a one off??!

Review 2:Good location...would recommend for cribs causeway/ ikea visit!

Review 3:Only very minor comment is that the door to bathroom could do with a touch up, some scuff marks.

Review 4:Excellent service and nice extra touches in the rooms, coffee machine, flannels. Very nice evening meal.

Review 5:The booking.com server returned an error after I had tried to book the room. This meant I did not know whether the room had been booked or not.

Review 6:Excellent value for money and good facilities.

Review 7:Nothing

Review 8:The hotel is so family friendly - I loved the extra touches, such as bath robes for the kids to use and treats in the minibar - also cookies and milk at bedtime, such a nice surprise!! The pool is amazingly warm, just perfect for small kids. A wonderful stay, can't wait to go back.

Review 9:The hotel is not very suitable for wheelchair users. The facilities are on a variety of levels and some areas have only stepped access.

Review 10:The staff were excellent and the pool was sublime. The water was 31C and beautifully clean. The warmth of the water is particularly good for anyone recovering from an injury. The children had the time of their lives.

Review 11:The shower in room 331 was inadequate. Too low on the wall to stand under,thermostat intermittent,obviously quite old and not clean around the shower valve. Needs replacing urgently !!!!

Review 12:All good for a one night stay .

Review 13:The lady on the pool reception desk was not very friendly or helpful (this was the only member of staff who wasn't) she was miserable and didn't offer us advise; considering this was our very first visit to the hotel it was as if she expected us to know rules and routines of the leisure facilities.

Review 14:The pool and leisure facilities were fab! The room we were given overlooking the little pond was beautiful and we loved the duck food and tea lights...lovely touch! Staff on reception desk were lovely! Staff seen on corridors were all helpful and friendly and went out of their way to smile and make us feel welcome.

Review 15:The staff were very friendly and accommodating. It was fantastic value and the facilities and rooms were perfect and very clean. It is the nicest spa hotel I have been to in this country, I would highly recommend it.

Review 16:Lakeside room, nice view, very quiet. Duck food supplied! Swimming pool looked good but no time to try it out. Room clean and comfortable, nice coffee machine with fresh milk supplied. Recommended.

Review 17:Being very picky, my robe had a big hole in and the pillows kept falling down a gap at the top of the bed. Also every time I go the breakfast is always a little manic which doesn't fit well with the relaxation of the rest of the experience. BUT wont stop me going back!

Review 18:Staff were wonderful, from check in to cleaning staff helping us when we got locked out of our room! Food in the restaurant was fantastic, and service was great Very clean spa and the pool was lovely Room quiet and the 1pm check out made us feel relaxed and made our break feel even longer

Review 19:Complicated Junction on the motorway. Also glad I didn't have to pay car park charges as stayed at weekend

Review 20:Little touches for the kids - juice in the room, milk & cookies etc. staff very attentive.

Review 21:We stayed at the hotel to attend a wedding nearby, excellent hotel, can't fault it. Very friendly & helpful staff at breakfast, lots of choice and the kitchen made me an excellent vegan breakfast. The We sat on the terrace on our 2nd morning and loved the little garden and fish pond. Would stay again!

Review 22:The pool in the morning was taken over by pensioners who seemed to think they owned the pool area. One old lady ordered us to stay on the left side of the pool and then reported us for being in the jacuzzi with our 5 year old daughter. We then left the pool area and unfortunately probably won't be back at your hotel even though every thing else was great.

Review 23:Staff were absolutely fantastic and very friendly

Review 24:Thin walls - could hear next door room with very noisy children. When I complained about being woken at 4am by a screaming child - I was fobbed off by the receptionist. Also noisy hotel door slamming is annoying.

Review 25:Staff in restaurant were helpful and efficient.

Review 26:Bar charges! Very expensive If u want a drink go over to the lodge!

Review 27:Staff were great, hotel was really nice. Didn't have to pay car park charges at the weekend. Food and service in the restaurant was good.

Review 28:we should chuck out at 1pm.the housekipers did start knock to the door from 10am 5 times very upset that we did not leave yet

Review 29:so nice and comfortable, quiet,bed so comfortable.

Review 30:The food was pretty bad. The room service and restaurant menu was limited. We had the burger and chips. The chips seemed to have been re-heated.

Review 31:Our room overlooked a duck pond, the pool was fantastic to relax in after a long drive. Baby friendly (we have a 5 month old). The staff where 10 / 10 lovely.

Review 32:The car park charges are advertised at £30 per night, which put me off and I spent the next 30 minutes looking for an alternative. Believe me, there isn't any alternative. Resigned to the fact I would have to pay £30, I was relived to find guests are only charged £3. ! I Wish that was displayed, :(

Review 33:We really liked this hotel, a bit pricey but the quality is reflected in the price. The staff were fantastic, they were pleasant and helpful without being condesending. There was even room in the secure car park for our 30ft truck

Review 34:Wanted to treat my partner for some treatment. But while in the ladies restroom a member of the spa team came in used the loo then failed to wash her hands. So my partner decided not to have any treatment. Which was the whole idea of our trip.

Review 35:Room

Review 36:I would have liked the room service to provide meals later than 9.30pm and wished the pool stayed open later! You can't have it all I guess!

Review 37:I really enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi experience. It was quite intimate despite being shared and the hotel was gorgeous! The room was very well and the bath was lovely and relaxing. All in all a great stay.

Review 38:Meals very overpriced considering vegetables or salad with dinner were extras. A pot of tea for two was 8.20.Breakfast was all you can eat but still overpriced.There is parking to pay for as well on top of the price for the room.

Review 39:Was relaxing and comfortable.

Review 40:Everything was perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was amazing. I loved it and would definitely go back and recommend to friends and family

Review 41:Excellent but over priced breakfast . Parking plentiful but payment procedure a bit confusing - check at reception first. Cracked bathroom tiles .

Review 42:Friendly staff. Very comfortable bed. Good working surface and chair in room. Quiet. Spa looked restful and inviting. Good room service on one night.

Review 43:asked for gluten free Tesco asked for gluten free told reception gluten free told restaurant manager gluten free , turn up for meals NO gluten free. WHY.

Review 44:INCONSISTENCY STAFF CHALLENGED OUR USE OF POOL AND WHIRL POOL WITH MY GRANDSON AGED 5 WERE ON OUR OWN WHEN ANOTHER FAMILY USED THE SAME EQUIPMENT THEY WERE NOT CHALLENGED AND ALLOWED TO USE THE EQUIPMENT WHIRL POOL WITH CHILDREN UNDER 4 AND BABIES (SAT AND SUNDAY) pool porter and reception staff never challenged the parents as this was a large family group.

Review 45:Was a bit noisey at night from outside hotel,A little to far into bristol for us would of preferred a closer location(our mistake not checking this out before hand) Meal in restaurant nothing special for price!

Review 46:Nice hotel-leisure facilities,Rooms nice,clean and comfortable,

Review 47:Staff could be more attentive, only one masseur, which meant a long waiting time, and massage for 1 hour was acu ally only 40 minutes, should be advertised different !!

Review 48:Swimming pool not very crowded, sauna was great, very clean, big gym

Review 49:The duvet for the sofa bed was too small to cover two people sleeping. The food and breakfast was extremely expensive.

Natasha your beauty therapist who was very friendly and her facial and pedicure was excellent, All over your staff at Bristol where friendly polite and very Helpful you should feel very proud of them all

Review 53:Booked family room for two adults and two children but hotel only had two adults booked. We did have a family room but only towels, tea, etc for two! Very slow service in the restaurant in the morning for breakfast. Had to ask three times for tea and toast!!!!

Review 54:Room and staff. Nice food and restaurant good service in the evening

Review 55:The restaurant closed too early meaning I could not use the gym not he night I arrived. The menu is limited but this is consistent with many other hotels. Most importantly check your bill upon check out my room rate was almost £30 per night higher on my bill than on booking and parking was automatically charged even though I did not have a car!

Review 56:Room was comfortable and facilities were good, including the gym. The staff were courteous and helpful.

Review 57:We had a lakeside view, it was absolutely lovely!! The room was beautiful, very clean and comfortable. Had our own balcony with tables and chairs. The room was a bit of a maze to get too but it was worth the walk from reception! Food was lovely and staff are very friendly! Cant wait to stay again!!

Review 58:Not being told that a breakfast charge would be added to our room at any point when entering the restaurant and just being told our name was on a list. £30 for 2 people and my wife barely ate anything. Terrible and a very shady practice
