Fantastic hotel, my room was extremely clean and the staff were very friendly. Also a lovely dinner in your Miller & Carter restaurant. Perfect location and the underground carpark is great and a good price £17 for 24hrs. I am looking forward to staying again.

The Bristol Hotel
This was my first visit to Bristol and I'm glad I found The Bristol Hotel. Excellent location, extremely nice reception staff and a very pleasant room. Indeed, as a seasoned traveller, this was the first time in a long time that I did not ask to change rooms.
