Clifton Bristol|0.61km from Cabot Tower
Stayed here for two nights in September 2022. The staff are very friendly. The hotel is on the edge of Clifton, which appears to be a very affluent area. A twenty minute walk will take to to the Clifton suspension bridge to take in some lovely views. The bridge visitor centre and observation tower are well worth visiting. The number 8 bus which you get around the corner takes you into Bristol city centre in around 15/20 minutes, so all in all, a good location. The hotel offers a substantial free cooked and buffet breakfast which is why I am awarding it three stars. You will need to book a time slot. Now the not so good…………… Our room was on the ground floor and needs a refurb. A rotten window frame, mould in the shower and on the bathroom ceiling, a hole in the net curtain, an uneven wobbly floor and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling were not a great look. The bed and towels were clean, but despite the fact I was there for two nights and a couple of small towels were left on the floor, they weren’t changed, even though someone had clearly been into our room to provide biscuits for our tea and coffee (which i add, was a lovely gesture). Neither was our bed made. Now I realise the management will say if we had complained, we may have been moved, but that’s not the point. That room (room 11), would have been provided to another guest or guests if we had been moved. It just needs a refurb and then perhaps the next guest would give the hotel four stars. Really enjoyed Bristol. First time I have visited, but found it really interesting. Lots to see and do and the people are very friendly.

Ibis Bristol Centre
3.9/5110 Reviews
We needed to be near the Cathedral for a Graduation ceremony and the Ibis was a 5 minute walk away. Reception on arrival was quick & efficient. The bedroom (320) and bathroom were clean and appeared to have been totally renovated very recently. Everything worked as it should. There was some background noise from the air-con on a nearby building but this did not prove to be a problem for us when the window was closed. A very fullsome buffet breakfast was enjoyed. We took advantage of the secure luggage room after vacating the bedroom. All the staff we encountered were very pleasant, polite and helpful. We parked at the nearby Britannia Car Park (which was clean and well lit) and the Ibis reception processed our parking ticket which resulted in up to 24 hour parking costing £10 instead of £17. Checkout was painless. Would we stay again? Yes - but for only one or two nights.
Cbh Berkeley Square Hotel
3.8/5103 Reviews
Had a short stay very recently and I must say it fit my needs perfectly. The room was incredibly clean, very comfy bed, not to mention the great location of the hotel. Special thanks to Miguel who was incredibly helpful during my stay, made the whole process a breeze and had some wonderful recommendations of some local spots to visit!

We were able to come and go as we pleased, smoking area for my friends was perfect . Thank you I’m hoping to come back for my birthday on October 8th I can’t wait xx
Clifton Hotel

Clifton
Visited to settle offspring into University. The best feature for me was the small lockable hotel garage, which meant a car full of student ‘stuff’ could be safely left overnight- gave tremendous peace of mind. Staff were really friendly and helpful. There was a reliable lift. Racks restaurant also had responsive, efficient staff, and the food was palatable. I expected the location to be much quieter than was the case, there was a lot of noise from outside, including happy drunks and traffic. Whiteladies road, with a wide choice of cafes and restaurants is within walking distance and Clifton village and The Downs a short drive away. On-road parking is mainly permit for residents and pay & display parking is extremely limited. We booked single rooms for a short stay, but they were extremely small, so if staying longer, you would definitely want a larger room. Overall, a good place. The secure parking was the outstanding feature for me.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bristol Travel Guide

Hotels in Bristol

Weather & the best time to travel Bristol:

When you think of an ancient historical city, which has seen the gores and glories of the world through ages, Bristol, a city in the southwest part of England, certainly should qualify to be it. It spans the River Avon spreading on both sides of it. It is a hub of a prosperous historical journey and for the travellers, it is a year-round destination. The springtime is between March and May. The temperature and humidity put together to give a moderate cold feeling. The standard temperature varies between 9°C and 18°C. During all these months, raining for 5 to 6 days per month is pretty natural. However, spring is not conducive to tourism. Hence it is the best time to score great Bristol hotel deals during the summer when Bristol displays comfortable weather and tourism is at its peak. The summer spans from June to August. There are several outdoor cultural events during this time. Harbour Festival and Shakespeare Festival are in July. The International Balloon Fiesta is held in August at Ashton Court. The fall feels windy and chilly between September and November as the temperature ranges from 8°C to 20°C. You can expect it to snow from 4-11 days every month. There is a boom in tourism during these months too. So, while you reserve hotels in Bristol during summer and fall, make sure you are booking much ahead. December to February is very cold and it is winter in Bristol. The cold weather and a lot of rain do not promote tourism.
