Lock in a great price for The Bristol Hotel – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Excellent location. We were upgraded free of charge to an excellent room with stunning views. Parking at the adjacent NCP car park was convenient and great value for money with the hotel discount.

Ben, United Kingdom

Loved my top floor room overlooking river and nightlife. Bed was a dream. Staff were so lovely!

Diamondswild, Canada

The hotel was right on the waterfront. We were visiting after emigrating to USA many years ago and realized it was previously the Unicorn. It has been totally remodeled and modernized. The decor is very tasteful. We were upgraded to a larger room with river view at no cost. Staff were very friendly and professional. Beds extremely comfortable and clean. Only stayed one night and would have loved to have stayed longer.

Mary, United States of America

The full breakfast served in the waterside dining area each morning was excellent. The reception staff were professional, friendly and couldn't have been more helpful, both on check in and arrival. The location is excellent. It's in walking distance to the Brunell Museum and shopping centre, restaurants etc.

Linda, Australia

The location is fantastic, very central and on the river

Linda, United States of America

Excellent location in the centre of the city. Parking next door was also very convenient.

My Wife has Coeliac so can not eat Gluten so in addition to providing GF bread, it was very helpful to see the hotel breakfast buffet items all marked with allergen information, with separate tongs to be used for Gluten free items. They have a deal at the adjoining NCP car park, we expected to pay £5 per day for parking but it turned out to be £5 each time you left the car park, this was good for us as we didn’t need the car during our stay so got four days parking for £5, but if you are planning lots of trips each day this will be more.

Rooms are getting a bit tired and could do with a refresh. For a Deluxe room I would like to have a separate shower. Mould around the top of the bath was not a pleasant sight.
Breakfast was very nice with plenty of choice. Check in was quick and efficient.
