Majestic Hotels Bristol
The room was very clean, and very spacious for a standard room, bed was extremely comfy. The breakfast was very good, the bar was a bit limited but the barman was very apologetic and helpful. Great location and although in the centre of the city was very quiet…being 13 floors up might have had something ...

Clayton Hotel Bristol City
The room was clean and facilities were good. We paid for a deluxe double and ended up with a family accessible which wasn’t an issue at all just surprising as there was 2 of us. Overall good stay though and great location as only 5 min walk to Cabot Circus and so close to old city.
