Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel
We didn’t have breakfast, so couldn’t comment. The staff is very nice, excellent service. The only thing was the air conditioning was quite noisy.

ibis Bristol Centre
For a mid price hotel it's everything I want. It's not a fabulous destination hotel but if you want a clean, safe, comfortable hotel near the centre it's great.
