I had a great stay at The Bristol hotel. The room was spacious and tidy, equipped with all the essentials, but the bathroom was a bit small and overly bright. The service was exceptional, with a warm welcome and helpful staff. The location was fantastic, close to key attractions and dining options. However, the dining experience was average, and the toast was not up to par in terms of freshness. Overall, a good value for the price.

The hotel is located in a lovely spot by the waterfront, near the centre, which makes it excellent for exploring Bristol. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, equipped with all essential amenities. The service was outstanding with extremely friendly and helpful staff. However, the dining options could have been better considering nearby alternatives, and the price may not fully reflect the value offered.

The hotel offers a lovely harbourside view in spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms, but noise levels can be a drawback. The service is exceptional, making special occasions even more memorable. The central location near Bristol's main attractions is a huge bonus, though public disturbances in the area can be off-putting. Dining may be on the pricier side with some queuing issues, but the beautiful view compensates for it.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The deluxe room I stayed in was beautifully decorated with rose petals and a birthday balloon, but it turned out to be the noisiest room I've encountered during my travels. The service provided by the staff, especially Danna at reception, was top-notch and super friendly. The location of the hotel was excellent for exploring Bristol, being near the waterfront and close to the city center. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, as the restaurant was undergoing refurbishment, and there were some issues with service during busy times.

I had a great stay at the hotel - the room, though a bit small, had everything I needed and was cozy. The service was fantastic, efficient, and the staff were lovely and friendly. The location was perfect for exploring Bristol without being in the noisy waterfront area. The dining experience was good in terms of quality, but a bit overpriced.

The hotel provides a prime location right on the Harbourside, convenient for exploring Bristol's attractions. The service was exceptional, especially Lana at Reception who ensured a great room.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were extremely comfortable and spotless with all the amenities we needed, but unfortunately, the seagulls screeching for three nights made it quite noisy. The service was excellent from pre-travel assistance to check-out but could have been enhanced. The location was perfect for our planned weekend, near the theatre, eating places, and St Nicholas market, yet disappointed with the upgrade situation. The dining experience, although good, was a bit chaotic at times. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor hitches.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were extremely comfortable, clean, and very quiet, but unfortunately, I dealt with bed bug/flea bites, which was quite a downer. The service was mostly excellent, although there were a few instances of inattentiveness. The location was great for sightseeing and dining, right on the harbourside, but a bit noisy in the late evening. The dining was good, offering reasonable value with high-quality ingredients, but there were mixed feelings about the experience in the conference center. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
