From Brunel to Banksy!
Britain’s 4th most popular visitor destination, Bristol boasts Brunel’s magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge spanning the River Avon. More Brunel handiwork is in the harbour where his SS Great Britain steamship is moored. Pirate walks here detail the city’s underground naval history.
Further north in Clifton is the world’s oldest zoo outside a capital city. Other Bristol attractions include At-Bristol Museum and the Grade I-listed Corn Exchange with its 4 "nails" outside where money changed hands. Also worth a visit is St Nicholas Market, in a Georgian square home to several bars and a Slow Food Market on the 1st Sunday of every month. Other Bristol shopping options include shopping centres at Cabot Circus, and Cribbs Causeway on the outskirts.
As a student city, Bristol really comes to life after dark. The live music scene here is fantastic and has given way to several internationally known bands, but for something more alternative head to Eastside.
Another option for alternative-seekers is the work of hometown street artists Banksy. Just like Booking.com’s Bristol accommodation, his work is spread throughout this fabulous city.
This Gateway to the West Country is served by Bristol Airport and Temple Meads train station. The old Bristol to Bath railway line is now a cycle route and makes a great day trip.

Bristol was awesome!
Bristol was awesome! I loved the river walk and the bars and parks. I was there during a bank holiday weekend and there was tons of people outdoors. It was a really good vibe. There are also lots of gigs at the local pubs and other casual attractions that don’t require a lot of planning or money. Lots of great restaurants too.

Bristol is a beautiful, warm and very welcoming city.
Bristol is a beautiful, warm and very welcoming city. I found that people are very friendly and helpful. There are so many things to do and places to visit, even though I didn't had the time to do much, as I was trying to get my son settled for university. The Cabot Circus in particular is a great place for shopping.

Hotel in a very good positional base to explore Bristol and surrounds.Plenty to see and do in this area of the country,and I still like returning to Bristol which is where I lived for25 years.Love the Downs and Clifton Suspension Bridge.
“Location is good, the hotel is within a few minutes walk from Temple Meads station and the city centre isn' t too far either. The hotel staff is nice and helpful, breakfast is good and free wifi works like a charm. Overall a good value for the money.”
“The rooms are nicely finished and clean. The hotel is on the way out towards the airport so it was very handy for my one night stopover. I had a lovely walk and boat ride along the river into the city centre.”
“Stayed for 2 nights in a first floor room at the back of the Hotel. Lovely clean and comfortable room with free WiFi. Great choice of food for breakfast, free parking (which is rare for Bristol) and ideally located for bars and restaurants in North Street. Try the Thai Garden opposite for cheap tasty food and the Cigarette Factory for great cider.”
“The hotel was very convenient for us as we were visiting family on that side of Bristol. The bus service to the centre is frequent and cheap and there was space to leave our car.
Although they were busy preparing for their beer festival, the staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The room was clean and quiet.”
“The atmosphere was great. We are mature amongst younger people but was made to feel welcome. Perfect location for Calstone Hall and all city centre activities. We stayed before catching s plane at Bristol airport. Would recommend to all.”
