Amazing hotel - the only thing is it is in the middle of a little alley (part of which is inaccessible by car), so you may need to carry your luggage into the main reception area. That being said, amazing service and rooms. Loved the time spent!

Good parking arrangement for the price, especially with the location. The hotel is lovely and very grand. The room was generally great, small bits of mold in the bathroom however which made the stay overall not quite as amazing as one would've hoped.

Beautifully and exceptionally clean hotel lobby and room but room decor was very cold and bland. Comfy bed, lovely shower and great range of products to use. We had a very good breakfast included in our stay and lots of choice. Atmosphere was very flat and depressing - no chatter or conversation from staff which was a shame - probably the constant depressing ‘music’ which was being played. Location was about a 10-15 min walk into Bristol which was fine for us as we love walking. The hotel overlooks graffitied waste ground and the ring road runs right next to it so no lovely views sadly. Most staff looked glum, no conversation or friendliness just bored young staff behind the bar. One lady at reception made up for all of them with her super-bubbly personality. Quite a few were on their phones - hotel was very quiet for a bank holiday. NO parking on-site but there is use of another nearby. Food was okay-to-good - nothing outstanding and quite expensive but only to be expected in a city hotel. Overall, it was worth the discounted price we got it for - definitely would have looked elsewhere if it had been full price.

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.

Okay the room wasn’t the best cleaned i must say. Because there was a contact lens trash on the bathroom floor. But overall it was a good hotel for its price. Breakfast is normally better at double tree hotels with jam in little canned glass which is better quality but this hotel lacked it. Other than that the location is definitely something to be kept in mind. It takes approximately 50 minutes to go to the center with m1 or t1 bus. But on a Sunday those busses run on either 20 or 30 min intervals so it’s quite a bit of a hassle. I didnt try the pool or the gym but they looked good i must say. What i also found a bit annoying is that i got my room at exactly 3pm.. it wasn’t ready before but it’s a luck issue.

Overall, it was a great experience. We were given a room on the 9th floor, offering a different perspective of Bristol. The stay was comfortable, the environment was nice, and the facilities were decent. Definitely better than the Holiday Inn in the city center.

I stayed at the Grand Bristol by Sunday for one night over the weekend. Overall, it was okay and served its purpose for a short stay. The room was clean and had everything I needed. There were a couple of downsides, though. The shower was a bit unusual and not the easiest to use, which made it less enjoyable. Also, the walls seemed very thin, so I could hear quite a lot of noise from neighbouring rooms. That said, for a short stay it did the job, and the location and basic facilities were adequate. I would consider staying again if I just needed somewhere convenient for a night.
