The hotel boasts an excellent location right in Bristol city center, next to the City Hall and a church. We arrived at 12:30 PM, and since a room was available, they kindly allowed us to check in early. The English breakfast was quite good, especially the roasted button mushrooms, which were delicious. However, I have a major complaint: this Marriott doesn't have air conditioning, and the room windows are sealed shut, meaning they can't be opened at all. To make matters worse, the room was incredibly airtight. Even after borrowing a small fan from the hotel, it was still uncomfortably hot and stuffy, and I didn't get a good night's sleep.

I was very satisfied with my stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, close to Temple Meads train station, and it's about a 20-minute walk to the main city attractions. Although the room's interior is simple, it has all the essential amenities, including air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The bathroom also comes with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. The bed was very comfortable as well. The front desk staff were all very helpful and polite. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

The place was easy to locate, it’s in the centre. Despite having road blocks there was no problem locating the hotel. There was ample parking as well. The reception was tidy and  feels welcoming. My daughter loved the small play area. Staff were very helpful and professional. The room was large, there was enough space even if the sofa was made into a bed. The fire alarm went off though at around 5am hence we have no proper sleep, but despite that our stay was lovely!! Will definitely come back here.

Very comfortable hotel right at the canals. Very close to a major restaurant and club area so a bit loud in the evening but windows are well insulated. Comfortable bed and well maintained bathroom. Staff was friendly. There is a large parking garage next to the hotel and 24 hour parking, when paid at the hotel, is £18.

Absolutely delightful experience at this hotel! Very clean rooms, comfortable beds and pillows and had everything we could need (iron, hair dryer, church view, kettle, towels etc). Incredible stay for the price and location even though it was a last minute booking. We were even offered two room keys, not just one, which is a small thing but an issue I’ve had elsewhere. Lovely staff and I’d love to visit again one day. Would recommend.

We had an excellent stay at the Washington. The staff we met were all friendly and attentive. The room was perfect for our short stay with all expectations met and a very comfortable bed. The location is great with plenty of eating and drinking establishments within an easy walk. We used the parking without issue which was a bonus. Overall I would recommend the Washington to anyone planning a short stay in Bristol.

Had a lovely stay overnight at the Grand. Whilst both lifts were broken they had my bags brought up to my room for me and kindly stored them when I checked out as well so I could explore the city before my train departure. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, with everything I needed. Only slight gripe was with the towels, whilst they were clean they were a bit tatty and they had quite a musty smell to them. Apart from that I can't fault any part of my stay.
