Top Bristol Floating Harbour Hotel Reviews

ibis Bristol Centre

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and tidy and in a very convenient location. There is no hotel parking, but there are two car parks very close by which offer discounted rates for hotel guests. I used Q-Park, booked online before visiting, and used the code provided by the hotel on the online booking page, which made parking very straightforward. We were initially given a room overlooking all the bars, casino and games area. Unfortunately, this was very noisy and we struggled to sleep on our first night. I went to reception the following morning and requested a room change to the other side of the hotel. The staff were extremely polite, understanding and more than happy to help, and the room change was arranged without any problem. One useful tip when booking: the rooms overlooking the bar area are the odd-numbered rooms, while the even-numbered rooms are on the quieter side of the hotel, so it's worth requesting an even-numbered room if you're a light sleeper. Other than the noise issue on the first night, we had a great stay. There was a good choice of food on the breakfast buffet, and the hotel is ideally located for the brilliant nightlife, with plenty of bars and restaurants in the surrounding area. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would happily return."

Apex City of Bath Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very comfortable, with a lovely bathroom, and was ideal for a weekend away with friends from university — a real treat! The staff were helpful, the spa area was lovely and breakfast was excellent. We were also able to request a non-feather pillow, which was much appreciated as one member of our party has allergies. Only a couple of small details detracted from an otherwise excellent stay. Having travelled from Scotland, the North of England and London, we arrived at around 9pm and would have appreciated being able to order a snack and a drink through room service. Unfortunately, the Apex Hotels QR code showed every room-service option as unavailable. The room had been booked for three adults, but only two cups had been provided for morning tea, so we needed to request a third. These are minor points, but at a hotel of this standard and price point, it is the small details that complete the experience."

Majestic Hotels Bristol

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in the most perfect location, right in the middle of Bristol City Centre with wonderful views over the harbour and city. The beds and pillows are incredibly comfortable and everything sparkling clean. The rooms are quiet, with no outside street noise. The staff were friendly and helpful."

Bristol Grand Hotel By Sunday

8/10 Good

"I was more than happy with my stay. The room was large, clean and nicely decorated. The beds were very comfortable. It had everything that we needed for our one night stay. The receptionist was helpful, polite and accommodating. The location was perfect. I would definitely stay here again."
