All Bristol and ship shape fashion
Bring situated directly by the port it was perfect for our stay. The room was very comfortable, it would have been nice to have some bottled water in the room and maybe a refrigerator. The staff were very pleasant and helpful in both the restaurant and reception. The food in the restaurant was off a very high standard and breakfast was very good. We attended a function in the ballroom and once again the food was very good. The bar staff in the conference centre could do with being a little more knowledgeable about the beverages they are selling but it was fun.

Annoying tactics to extract more money
Penny pinching at reception trying to get people to spend extra money on room upgrades and then early check ins unless you join their mailing clubs. Very annoying and puts you off.

A business trip, so didn’t actually as much time in the hotel as I’d have liked in order to explore it. But the breakfast experience and interactions with the staff were all really good. Very comfortable room, surprised there were no USB sockets - but that tiny detail aside - very happy. The parking option is ideal. Located right next to a multi-level car park, once you register your car at check-in, the access to come and go is automatic, no faffing around and there’s access from the car park directly to the hotel, so no lugging bags through inclement weather. The pricing for this hotel is generally above what I pay for work trips, and in this case I’d cashed some point to get a better price. Will be giving it serious consideration next time I’m in Bristol.

I've stayed at the Bristol Hotel before and had a fantastic experience, which is why I was excited to return. The bar and restaurant are still top-notch, and the location couldn't be better for exploring the city. However, this time, I was a bit disappointed with the room. It was much smaller than expected, which impacted the comfort of the stay. Despite this, the hotel has a lot to offer, and I'll consider staying again, hoping for a better room next time.
