Doubletree by Hilton Hotels in Bristol

The location is just out of Bristol but can be reached by train and then bus. Or just the bus, depending where you are. Not having a car was always going to be challenging. The nearest train station is Patchway but a 30 to 45 minute walk. The M1 bus takes you within a 10 minute walk, and also, I believe into Bristol. The 71 bus definitely takes you to Bristol and runs from Bristol Parkway to Temple Meads. Get off at Aztec roundabout, but it does not run on Sundays. The hotel is good with a small swimming pool and the beds are comfortable. Getting to Cardiff is easy from Patchway Rail Station. Only 2 stops away.

Starting with the check in process, everything was very smooth and hassle free. We were given a room on the higher floor as requested. The view from the room was decent I would say. You could see a part of the city and the faraway hills. We managed to catch glimpse of wonderful sunrise so that's a plus. We did not try the food there so can not comment. The check-out process was also seamless. Pro: Location Clean rooms Staff Con: Price a bit expensive
