From Brunel to Banksy!
Britain’s 4th most popular visitor destination, Bristol features Brunel’s magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge spanning the Avon River. More Brunel handiwork is in the harbor, 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 registered historic 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 centers 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 artist Banksy. Just like Booking.com’s Bristol accommodations, 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 rail line is now a cycle route and makes a great day trip.

The SS Great Britain and the adjacent - included in your admission - museums are a must see. The ship is a stunning piece of living history, lovingly restored and interpreted to please the whole family.
Brunel is a fascinating character any way you approach him. Walk the Clifton suspension bridge and imagine hanging over that awesome gorge in a basket as he did!
Clifton is the place to stay, scenic walks, pubs, cafes, shops, charming rows of mansions, gardens around every corner and (when the sun is shininhg) massive views.
Nobody does "slightly upscale but down-to-earth" better than the Brits. Clifton is simultaneously homey and cool.
The GWR is not to be missed. This is a beautiful part of England and the trains allow you to relax and enjoy the countryside.
I found the transit systems blessedly user-friendly; but if you're ever confused, just ask your question in the general direction of the nearest human being and you will promptly have all the answers you ever required and more.
Love the Brits!
Love'em!

Went with family of two young kids and enjoyed the stay.
Went with family of two young kids and enjoyed the stay. Zoo is overrated but the city open top bus tour was fabulous and the old harbour city is full of life and amazing character. Would go back for just adult get away so we could enjoy a bit of late evening sitting outside the bar, people watching.

Went partly because I wanted to see the Clifton Suspension Bridge, but we enjoyed the city in general. Started in the City Centre, which was ok but better for business travelers than for vacationers. We moved to Clifton Village, which we enjoyed. St Mary Redfern, Bristol Cathedral, Clifton Suspension Bridge, the University area, the harbor, restaurants, the old city – all recommended. The Bear Pit was interesting, if not perhaps everyone's cup of tea.

What an amazing city!
What an amazing city! I love how everything is within walking distance (if you don't mind hills!) The bus routes take you everywhere, definitely buy a ticket for your stay length. Nandos had some of the best chicken I've ever had, their spicy sauces were divine. Kaspas desserts were a definite favorite. The aquarium and museum were wonderful. I especially enjoyed the rain forest green house areas built into the aquarium.

Only there for business trying to get a taxi proved tricky if you were in a one way street and they asked you to go somewhere else ! Which if you don’t know Bristol is difficult but I got a great taxi firm and loved driver who got me back to my hotel even though I got the name of hotel wrong !!!

Bristol has to be one of my favourite cities.
Bristol has to be one of my favourite cities. So much food choice, as a vegan i was worried but i’ve never been so spoilt with choice before. Bars and pubs are plentiful and wherever you turn you discover something new. Beautiful city with amazing cathedrals !!
“Lovely stay here at a reasonable cost! Pretty close to central Bristol, lovely facilities, comfortable bed, flatscreen tv, nice shower, no complaints! The free continental breakfast at the pub downstairs was an ideal little touch also! ”
“We used this hotel as a home base as we took trains to Bath and Cardiff on separate days. Close walk to the train station. For that and yet still walkable to all the town center things in the other direction ”
“Rooms were clean , nice selection of towels, bath was full size and the double room had a fridge which was very welcome on a hot day. Staff at the front desk were very friendly and polite . Great stay again.”
“fresh fruit for breakfast, and delicious pancakes. all the help knew the history of the house and area. lovely decoration, good colours. beautiful gardens. great ideas for the future”
“The architecture (inside and out) is fantastic. My bedroom had 20-foot high ceilings, a giant bed, and a tray with decanters of gin and sherry. The hotel is very centrally-located. Staff very helpful.”
