“Great location, loved the bubbles and berries”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

Great location on the harbourside, friendly staff, we had a room overlooking the harbour which is lovely and although the windows soundproofing is good I could still hear revellers at 3am when I woke so you may opt for a room at the back - you won't get the view but it will be quieter. Great deal included berries and... More

“Great Location”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

This hotel can not be located any better. It is within walking distance of the city centre and all the bars and clubs on the water. The breakfast is very good with a nice view into the wharf. The staff were very nice and polite. I stayed in a King size bedroom and the room was very large, although the... More

“Central, comfortable”

Centrally situated in the Docks, the Bristol does not look much from the outside. Go in though and it's a different story. It is modern and airy with a welcoming and very reasonably priced bar. Bedrooms are spacious and well equipped. The service throughout is polite and professional. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Dear Ceedoubleu, Thank you for leaving us a review, I am glad you enjoyed our central location - we believe it is the best location to view what Bristol has to offer. We hope to welcome you back to the hotel in the near future, Sincerely Mark Payne General Manger The Bristol Hotel More

“A good hotel”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW via mobile

The hotel is ok. The room is good and large enough, but the bathroom is too small. We had difficult to enter and to sit on the sanitary, because of the door, and we are thin. The employees were very helpful and kind. We recomend this hotel.

Dear SandraC, Thank you for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Sincerely, Mark Payne General Manager The Bristol Hotel More

“Excellent hotel and perfect for the city centre”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

We stayed at the Bristol Hotel for one night on a Saturday to see some friends in the city. I searched online for a good long while to find a hotel with a bit of character instead of the cheap and nasty chain places. Well we certainly found it here! Lovely atmosphere, clean rooms, nice facilities (a coffee machine in... More

This was our second visit to the Bristol Hotel, and we will be back again!
