Majestic Hotels Bristol

10/10 Excellent

"Needed more milk and a power point nearer tea/coffee facilities"

Bristol Grand Hotel By Sunday

8/10 Good

"Firstly: Very friendly and helpful staff.. nice welcome at reception and bar had a pleasant server. Rooms were a reasonable size for an overnight stay and mostly clean, though we did find some property of a previous inhabitant which may allude to a slightly less than thorough clean. Great location and price. Car parking is in the next building and though expensive, it was very reasonable for the area and compared to other car parks nearby. Would recommend."

Leonardo Hotel Bristol City

10/10 Excellent

"We had an executive room for the larger king bed. Bed was lovely and comfortable. Room was a little on the small side but clean and modern. Looked like it had recently been decorated. Very quiet. We had everything we needed. Shampoo, shower gel etc. Tea and coffee, biscuits. There was bottled water, two cans of Pepsi and some kitkats in the fridge. The bar downstairs was happy to give us fresh milk for tea and coffee. We had two complimentary drinks each from the bar. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a good location. Close to Cabot circus, pubs and restaurants and attractions. All in all we had a great stay at the Leonardo and would definitely return in the future."
