Hilton Garden Inn Bristol City Centre
Comfy bed, quiet room and friendly staff. Would have been 5* but I found the bar/restaurant menu limited (few ‘fresh’ veg options). The kitchen did prepare me a side salad when I asked but it was an additional £8+ charge. All very tasty though and breakfast was great.
