The staff were amazing! They were very welcoming and helpful. My sister and I got stuck without transportation back to the hotel and the staff made sure a taxi came to pick us up. We were greeted each time we entered the reception area and always had cheerful help if we needed it. Thank you for a pleasant and comfortable stay. You are doing a great job! Loved the hot breakfast each morning and the pizza and drinks in the evening.

Nice hotel i had room 105. The guests in 107 had no respect for other residents. They were loud, swearing and playing music until 9.30pm. They then went out returning at 4.30am. Shouting swearing playing loud music until 7am when i assume they fell asleep. I was exhausted. I did mention to reception when i checked out at 9am. They said they would speak to the guests!!! Which was a little too late!!!

One night stay

Over all the room was adequate and was clean. The shower drain did not flow very fast which meant that you were standing in dirty water very quickly. The cooked breakfast was also of poor quality. It had been cooked many hours in advance and was not fresh.

Friendly stay

Love staying at this hotel but unfortunately we paid for a twin room but got a double - my friend was on a camp bed! We did have a voucher for 1 drink but still found it unacceptable considering we booked months ago. Staff were friendly and clearly enjoyed their work. Overall was a pleasant stay

Great Stay with Breakfast and Convenient Location

I had a great experience staying at the Holiday Inn Express Bristol. The double room was a decent size, clean, and had good air conditioning—perfect for a comfortable night’s rest. One of the highlights was the breakfast buffet, which was included in the stay. There was a good variety of options, and it really set us up for the day. The hotel is also just a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads train station, making it super convenient for travel. Would definitely stay here again!

Had a lovely 1 night stay over. Room was very comfortable with air conditioning, which was a good send in this heat. Very friendly staff. Drinks are expensive, but the same as all hotels, I guess. Breakfast was great, with lots of choice
