Hotels Near Bristol Vintage Bus Group in Bristol

The stuff were friendly and polite, and explained all the details when we arrived. The room was tidy and had a massive TV. The place is about 20 mins from Bath and probably 10-15 from Bristol (I didnt go that way). It is about 1km walk (Downhill) to the train station, and is on the main road so 2 mins to bus stops for around the area. There is a Hungry Horse pub within 2 minutes walk. All in all the place was nice place to stay and the breakfast (included) was very tasty. Just of note, this place is right next to the A36 which is a very busy road, and our room was looking onto this road, even with the windows shut the traffic noise was loud, so if I stayed here again I would request a room at the rear if possible

A two night stay for two couples meeting at Bristol for a weekend getaway Stay could have been better in all areas Having not known what time we would arrive and not knowing the area we had pre-booked a table for evening meal at Chophouse the restaurant attached to the hotel, we thought this to be the easiest option. Very quiet in both the bar and restaurant area we expected a first class service … unfortunately not what we got! Cocktails took over 20 minutes to make which was really disappointing (they were nice enough when they finally arrived) We went through to the restaurant offered a set menu and normal menu Two chops were ordered from the set menu which ironically (chophouse) were not available a burger and fish off the main menu were also ordered, the fish resembling a sprat was quite disappointing, the burger was good - thank goodness the company was fantastic as the food didn’t surpass much more than ok. Having experienced the evening bar and the slow service well the breakfast experience downstairs was something else!! 2 mornings for breakfast quite a contrast too, Saturday morning was quite good, everything was available, cereal, juices, selection of breads, pots of yogurt and granola, smoked salmon and hot food we had breakfast at 9.00am, the restaurant Sunday we had breakfast at 9.30am, what a contrast, tables hadn’t been cleared (there were several empty and in this state) we cleared a table ourselves and had to request for a waitress to clean and wipe the table down. Where we had placed the previous used plates and cups , were left there and not cleared by the waitress. We went to the service area and it was a nightmare; throughout the time we were there the service was poor with lack of food displays and lack of cutlery and bowls, there was just chaos and what seemed like one guy working and trying to keep the place moving. In contrast to the day before, juices were running out, no available cereal bowls, no bread for toasting, no yoghurt granolas, at one point no mugs or glasses to drink from and the hot food ran out with something constantly being waited on. There were two waitresses that were a waste of time, they needed to be managed and to be productive, they had no idea about offering great service …. When we commented to the guy about being busy he said this is nothing 😳 The room was on the first floor at the rear, quiet and a comfortable bed. However, the door didn’t shut properly and had to be pulled / pushed hard to ensure was shut. The bathroom was ok however the shower tray filled and you were standing in water that took an eternity to drain away

Incredible staff. That’s the first thing to stay, they really make the difference. The hotel itself is very on trend, you get a free cocktail on arrival, and the breakfast which isn’t expensive, is good. The room is very comfy and well appointed, the bed was comfortable and the shower room, although small, was more than adequate. It’s all about the staff though, incredible service.

Good basic facilities and a great breakfast. The guest house is in the centre of the club and bar area of Bristol, so lots of noise all night. There is no parking and you have to leave the car in a multi story car park about a ten minute walk away. Which cost £36 for my weekend. No facilities for disabled, but does have a small lift. No view except the back of other buildings. I was arriving about 9.00pm and informed reception before hand. I was hot, tired and sticky. The girl manning the desk at night was really miserable handed me my keys and told me that my breakfast wasn’t included and I would have to pay £13 for each meal and left me wondering what the hell was going on. I was too tired to argue and went to my room. It was a small double that overlooked a grubby, dark courtyard. Another building was right in front of me with windows looking straight into mine. No wardrobe as room was too small. Good breakfast with great waiters. Another miserable girl behind the counter, who wouldn’t speak. The day staff were lovely though. All in all, a tiring weekend with very little sleep due to the noise and heat. The two nights cost me £232.20 and no, I didn’t have to pay extra for breakfast. Would I stay again. NO!

Great location and beautiful architecturally designed hotel. Was here for the pride march which passed the hotel. Staff were really helpful especially the new employee from New Zealand.

Stayed here for two nights in September 2022. The staff are very friendly. The hotel is on the edge of Clifton, which appears to be a very affluent area. A twenty minute walk will take to to the Clifton suspension bridge to take in some lovely views. The bridge visitor centre and observation tower are well worth visiting. The number 8 bus which you get around the corner takes you into Bristol city centre in around 15/20 minutes, so all in all, a good location. The hotel offers a substantial free cooked and buffet breakfast which is why I am awarding it three stars. You will need to book a time slot. Now the not so good…………… Our room was on the ground floor and needs a refurb. A rotten window frame, mould in the shower and on the bathroom ceiling, a hole in the net curtain, an uneven wobbly floor and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling were not a great look. The bed and towels were clean, but despite the fact I was there for two nights and a couple of small towels were left on the floor, they weren’t changed, even though someone had clearly been into our room to provide biscuits for our tea and coffee (which i add, was a lovely gesture). Neither was our bed made. Now I realise the management will say if we had complained, we may have been moved, but that’s not the point. That room (room 11), would have been provided to another guest or guests if we had been moved. It just needs a refurb and then perhaps the next guest would give the hotel four stars. Really enjoyed Bristol. First time I have visited, but found it really interesting. Lots to see and do and the people are very friendly.

Stayed for three nights at Filton. We found the reception service very good when we arrived and service generally was excellent. Our room was comfortable and clean and well appointed, with an iron, ironing board, hairdryer and tea and coffee. The air conditioning was easily controllable and the window opened slightly for fresh air. Despite what some previous reviews have said, the complementary breakfast was really very good. Quality sausages, bacon etc with ( for a hotel) good scrambled eggs. Tea and coffee on tap, juices,cereals and a choice of breads, also waffles. Good to see gluten free bread available. There were plenty of fruits and yogurt available . The staff also worked hard at keeping all items topped up. The reason I have given four stars is because the hotel is very poorly signposted we had a nightmare trying to find it in the dark and pouring rain. Apart from this we had a great stay, good to see a hotel being run well, by hard working staff in difficult times for the industry, with recruitment etc. Top Marks!

It happened that I went to find friends during the Spring Festival and stayed in this motel. This is the first time I live in a motel, it feels great and convenient, there is free parking, the decoration is also very new, and the service industry is very good. The American restaurant downstairs is also delicious.

Originally hailing from the area, it felt strange returning to old haunting grounds. The hotel has very much grown up since the 80's when I last visited. We booked an accessible room with breakfast. Parking could be an issue with less able or limited mobility (the disabled parking is at the bottom of a steep approach to the entrance) Ringing reception from my car, a very nice young man said it would be ok to park outside the main entrance thus avoiding the steep incline. Our room was on the 6th floor and didnt have a ”view” as at the side/back of the hotel. However, in terms of accessibility, we couldn't fault our room. The room was spacious for my husbands wheelchair, with both USB and plug sockets next to the bed which is good for charging his wheelchair. The bathroom is a wet room with a nice set up of lower sink and grab rails etc. We enjoyed a couple of drinks in the modern bar area before going to eat in the restaurant. We chatted to the staff who were very efficient and very friendly. In particular Julie, who was Maitre 'D was very attentive to our needs and we had a good rapport with her. Our evening meal was cooked extremely well and was very tasty. Breakfast was equally well cooked with a great selection of items to choose from. Again, Julie helped with serving our food directly to us as I also have mobility issues. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate in revisiting this hotel, it is one of the best hotels in terms of quality and accessibility that we have stayed in.
