A business trip, so didn’t actually as much time in the hotel as I’d have liked in order to explore it. But the breakfast experience and interactions with the staff were all really good. Very comfortable room, surprised there were no USB sockets - but that tiny detail aside - very happy. The parking option is ideal. Located right next to a multi-level car park, once you register your car at check-in, the access to come and go is automatic, no faffing around and there’s access from the car park directly to the hotel, so no lugging bags through inclement weather. The pricing for this hotel is generally above what I pay for work trips, and in this case I’d cashed some point to get a better price. Will be giving it serious consideration next time I’m in Bristol.

I've stayed at the Bristol Hotel before and had a fantastic experience, which is why I was excited to return. The bar and restaurant are still top-notch, and the location couldn't be better for exploring the city. However, this time, I was a bit disappointed with the room. It was much smaller than expected, which impacted the comfort of the stay. Despite this, the hotel has a lot to offer, and I'll consider staying again, hoping for a better room next time.

Great service and friendly staff. We chose to have a room on the quiet side of the building (not facing the Harbourside) and it was still noisy until late. Room was really comfortable and can’t fault the cleanliness

The guest rooms and bathrooms are in desperate need of an upgrade & severe clean. There were spiders webs in corners of the room and on curtain rails. The bathroom facilities are out dates - the sink & taps were leaking. The water filled up I. The basin after the plug was removed - which was reported to reception.

Generally a fantastic stay, couldn't fault the staff and location. Just one thing if you are a light sleeper and staying on a Saturday night. Bars across the water don't turn off the bass until 2am, which you can hear faintly even with the windows firmly shut.
