Hotels in Bristol

Bristol's hotels and B&Bs cluster mainly around the harbourside, city centre and Clifton, putting you within walking distance of the Old City, the SS Great Britain and the shops of Cabot Circus. Places like Brooks Guesthouse Bristol and ibis Bristol Centre suit those who want to be in the thick of things, with restaurants, bars and museums all close at hand.

Further out, options such as Old Gloucester Road Farm Bed and Breakfast or Cleeves Cottage offer a quieter, more rural feel while still being a short drive from the centre, useful if you're travelling by car or need easier parking. There are also practical choices near the airport, including Open Acres Accommodation and Airport Parking, handy for early flights.

Guesthouses and mews conversions like The Brunel Mews and Ferndale Mews give a more personal alternative to the larger city hotels, and a few, such as The Base Vegan Retreat, cater to particular tastes or dietary preferences. With this much choice, it's worth deciding first whether you want to be in Bristol itself or on its edges.
