Channings Hotel by Greene King Inns

Channings Hotel by Greene King Inns

3.5/559 Reviews
Clifton
We had a wonderful time at this charming hotel, as if we were staying in a merchant's house. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making our experience truly memorable. The hotel provided a fantastic opportunity to relax and explore all that the historic city of Bristol has to offer, including the 6 O'clock Gin Distillery, the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. The rooms were spotlessly clean and well maintained, creating a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. We have to give a special thanks to Graca, Millia and Nushu from the pub who made our evenings truly enjoyable. The kitchen also offered excellent breakfasts. We were left full of impressions from this city of once a wealthy merchant, and now a young student thanks to the University of Bristol.

Incredible staff. That’s the first thing to stay, they really make the difference. The hotel itself is very on trend, you get a free cocktail on arrival, and the breakfast which isn’t expensive, is good. The room is very comfy and well appointed, the bed was comfortable and the shower room, although small, was more than adequate. It’s all about the staff though, incredible service.
Ibis Bristol Centre

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.
Premier Inn Bristol City Cen (Haymarket)

Premier Inn Bristol City Cen (Haymarket)

4.3/565 Reviews
Because the Premier Inn (PI) hotel car park was quite small, I couldn’t find a parking slot one day and was suggested to park the car at the car park of holiday inn (HI). The staff said they would provide us a discount voucher. Later when we gave the HI car park entrance ticket to the PI hotel staff for the discount voucher, the staff JUST returned us with the discount voucher (which very much looked like the entrance ticket) but not with the entrance ticket as well. At that time we did not notice this. Until we wanted to drive out from the HI car park, we found that the one we got back from the PI staff was a voucher! We went back the PI for help and would like the staff to check whether the entrance ticket was left somewhere at the check-in counter at the lobby. It’s because when the voucher (which looked like the entrance ticket) was returned to us, we were sure that only the voucher was returned but not with the entrance ticket. However the staff became very rude and refused to check for us (she did not even called the staff who dealt with the car park voucher for us last time). I think she was very irresponsible! She just asked us to call the HI car park manager, who never caught our calls. We actually did not mind to pay the parking fee. We just wanted to drive out from the HI carpark. Finally, after 2 hours, problem was solved!! We were suggested by the HI carpark staff that we actually could simply press the button “lost ticket” on the pay machine located at the HI carpark and pay the fee. I think the PI staff should have provided us with more information about how we could deal with this problem and should have called her colleagues about the loss of HI carpark ticket. It must be somewhere at the PI check-in counter where we gave it to the staff earlier. Therefore, due to the irresponsibility of the rude staff, I don’t really recommend staying at this hotel if you drive to Bristol. On the other hand, other staff were polite, helpful and friendly.
The Coach House

The Coach House

3.8/550 Reviews
Stayed at The Coach House on a family weekend away. It was particularly attractive given that they offered rooms to accommodate three people. The B&B is in a great location. It’s just off the motorway and easy to get to. It’s also very close to both Bath and Bristol, meaning both cities are accessible. The rooms were tidy and all are en suite. Everything was relatively clean, with the only real complaints being a bit of dust and mould in the bathroom. The water pressure in the shower was very weak, but our room had a bath too which was wonderful. A kettle and drink making facilities were provided, and the tv was also a nice touch. Breakfast is included. The portions were modest, but everything was cooked well. All in all, given the location and the prices charged, this place is amazing value for money. What they charge is very reasonable for what they offer. I would stay again without question, and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Clifton
Good standard of accomodation - studio with plenty of room for two. It was clean and had everything we needed. Plus the added bonus of actually being able to open windows! Easy to find and about 25 mins walk from the main centre. But very near Whiteladies Road with a fantastic choice of bars and places to eat, plus a couple of small supermarkets. Free parking available at rhe back. Booking was easy, communication Good and efficient. Checking in was contactless and easy. Check out 11.00 am which was also a bonus. Only issue was I asked if we could leave our car in the carpark on check out day, knowing that folk couldn't check in before 4pm. I was told that we could but we would be charge £5.00 !an hour!! Needless to say we.didnt! ! Overall though, we would stay again!!

Tips for Selecting a 3 Star Hotel in Bristol

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.

The nearest airport to Bristol is Bristol Airport (BRS). It takes nearly 15 minutes getting to Bristol city from Bristol Airport. The best way to commute from Bristol airport to the city centre is through the Airport Flyer Express Link. It will take you about 30 minutes. This bus service connects the airport with Bristol bus and coach station and Temple Meads railway station. Apart from Christmas Day, this bus service runs every day the entire day. In fact, there are fewer buses on 26th December and New Year’s Day as well. Every return ticket for 1-month validity for adults cost £11. Single journey tickets cost £7. If you are a student, you can avail discounts. If there are family members travelling together, then these buses offer discounts. You can also choose taxis from outside the airport terminal. However, the taxi fares are generally an expensive option.
