Arnos Manor Hotel, Bristol

Anos Manor Hotel is a delightful and well situated hotel with rooms available for a great price. The Twin Room I stayed in was basic but comfortable and had everything you’d need for a short stay, although no socket by the bed was a con for the average Gen Z.

The shower is situated inside the bathtub, and had a detachable shower head connected to an incredibly yellowed plastic mixer which contrasted the shiny modern aesthetic of the rest of the bathroom fittings. Figuring out the mechanism took some time, two concentric rings controlled the temperature and pressure with the temperature handily labeled with blue and red numbers. Selecting the desired temperature was easy, it took me a little bit longer to figure out the pressure. I turned the outer ring forwards and backwards for a while each time going a little further in either direction.
Eventually the shower sprung to life with pressure not dissimilar to a water cutting jet. This was a welcome change from most hotel showers I review which barely produce a dribble, but I still took some time to finely tune it to the the correct pressure. The slightest over-adjustment would either turn the shower completely off or start to blast a hole in the floor.
