A faultless stay! The Premier Inn Bristol perfectly delivers on its promise of a good night’s sleep. Our room was immaculately clean, incredibly quiet, and the famous Hypnos bed was a dream after a long day of exploring. The location is fantastic, putting you right where you need to be to enjoy the city. For the price, the value is unbeatable. Friendly and efficient staff made check-in and out an absolute breeze. Absolutely a 5-star experience—reliable, comfortable, and highly recommended!

Large room in a good location at a reasonable price. Took me a long time to get to sleep because the room was so hot even with the aircon going, and when I did finally get to sleep, I kept waking up. Also realised in the morning that one of the pillows was mouldy. Breakfast was really nice though, and the lady in reception was lovely.

Me and my wife had an amazing stay at this place. The room was clean and tidy plenty of space and a nice view. The reception staff were next level (especially the young lady on the morning shift didn't catch her name) they were very polite and informative to any questions we had. The staff at the bar and block next door were also very nice and polite and explained things well. There were pubs nearby and takeaways but not everything is within walking distance but we didn't mind getting the bus and walking. I would deffo recommend a stay at this premier inn.

Lovely friendly staff, nicely set out room with comfy bed and nice hot shower. Extra tea/coffee etc available in reception. Easy check-in and key drop box for checkout. Only downside was breakfast options,only unlimited cooked/continental,no individual items on menu, expensive if you're not filling up for the day!
