Majestic Hotels Bristol
Good location, spacious room with good bathroom. My night was very quiet, since the room faced a road with little traffic or pedestrians. I was slightly inconvenienced by a street light directly outside window.

Enjoyed our overnight stay in the Celtic Manor and had time to recharge our batteries. The male member of staff at Reception was exceptional! (Sorry we didn't make a note of his name.) He was particularly welcoming, helpful and informative about all amenities available and booked all the little extras ...
