I regularly travel to Bristol and always stay at the Arches Hotel. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed and I always have a good nights sleep. There's a welcoming atmosphere and nothing's ever too much trouble. All in all it's excellent value for money and I wouldn't stay anywhere else! more

It was really un expected surprise this cozy guest accomodation! I've travelled quite a thing along my life and seen lots of good and bad things; for example, I've already slept in a semi-bed (it's hard to explain) in the middle of Angola, long time ago! And I can assure that was definitely a very bizarre experience! Also, I've already... more

The triple room was spacious (nº1) even with an extra bed, the decoration was ok, the toilet and... more

There's lots to recommend about this small hotel.

The Arches was warm, clean, friendly and a good stopover point on our way up to Scotland to stay with friends. The staff were second to none very efficient and helpfull. Wouldnt hesitate... more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Although parking is a little tricky (but most of Bristol is), the room and bathroom was very spacious. It was a shame I missed the breakfast, prepare for an early rise. more

Spent two nights at the Arches Hotel recently and was very pleased. It offers only vegetarian breakfasts (continental breakfast included in the price; hot meals such as scrambled eggs are a couple of pounds extra). As a result, when you enter the hotel there is none of that nasty smell of old bacon and sausage fat hanging in the air... more
