The Parkgate Hotel
Totally recommend, wish we could have stayed longer, the most perfect location to the city everywhere in walking distance yet the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Exceptionally clean. Our room was facing the front yet never bothered by noise of traffic or people. Would happily stay again.

Celtic Manor Resort
Beautiful hotel and grounds. The buffet breakfast was excellent - one of the best I have had. The spa is very relaxing and spacious. Take note: you have to book your slot in the pool / jacuzzi, so plan ahead if you can.

Clayton Hotel Bristol City
It is well positioned for eating, drinking and theatre visits. Very clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. If I had to say a negative, then it would be the shower, which was very weak I thought. But overall, I would recommend the Clayton.
