Amel is a kind host. It was very nice of her to welcome us. However, I have stayed with her, her husband, and another old lady who was also her guest(the host was taking care of her, but the lady and I basically shared the same bathroom and dining room, which meant that sometimes I needed to clean after her usage so that I could also use the same place). I had several problems with our communication between the host as well. For your information, the things listed on the amenities may not available. Also, the room is very tiny and you have other guests right next to you. I was looking for something private, but unfortunately, it wasn’t the case.
Given that we were sharing the kitchen, it was impossible to be keeping the distance in that narrow and small kitchen, but somehow her husband felt uncomfortable and told us that we can use the space when he’s done with using it.
Regarding the noise, the rooms are not soundproof. For those of you who are sensitive to sound, this could be one thing you should think about. One morning, at 10:30 a.m., the host opened our door and told me & my girlfriend to be quiet because her family was still sleeping next to our room. But as we were speaking low to each other(we never talked loud, because it was the first thing she asked for us to keep upon arrival) and as we’ve suffered from their snoring and talking sounds as well, I couldn’t quite understand her point. We were just gently talking about the plans to head out around 10 minutes.
But, the most annoying and incredible thing was the rudeness of her husband. One morning, when we were about to going out, her husband literally was cursing at my girlfriend who was struggling to open the door (because unfortunately, we were not familiar with that kind of knob). He probably would’ve thought that she couldn’t hear it because he was talking to himself, but she actually did hear it. So, he helped her out opening the door for her then. My girlfriend was so shocked that couldn’t even reply to that rudeness.
Bristol is a nice city to visit for a couple of days and you may want to find a place to stay without any disturbance, but please consider all the discomfort that you can experience from staying with somebody else, especially when it comes to sleeping with the people right next door to your room and feel like not be welcomed by the host’s husband.
