Clifton Bristol|0.55km from University of Bristol
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.

Beech House

Clifton
We had an excellent stay here in a one bedroom apartment. Very well equipped, nice decor, smart entry hall and comfortable. Parking just across the street in a private car park. Easy to walk to Clifton and into the city centre. Marks and Spencer food 2 minute walk on Whiteladies road. The virtual key worked well, it was nice not having to think about a card. Some reviews said it didn’t work but as long as you download the app and do as directed before you arrive it works perfectly well. Don’t forget your phone charger through! I had prompt replies to my emails and spoke to a nice guy at the Urban when I had some questions.
CLAYTON HOTEL BRISTOL CITY

The hotel is in the city, and the transportation to the scenic spots is very convenient. It is highly recommended. The hotel is fully equipped, the sanitation environment is good, and the service attitude is very satisfactory. I may consider coming again next time
Cbh Berkeley Square Hotel

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!

Clifton Hotel
3.6/5107 Reviews
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.

It was a nice hotel on the whole, but the room had water/damp stains on the wall and could have been cleaned better (few hairs and dust etc). Staff were all very friendly and the facilities were average, as you would expect from a budget hotel.

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.
