A very good hotel in bristol wanted
Hello ,
I'm coming to Bristol for one week with my friend so I'm looking for a good hotel (5* or 4* style room) located in an interesting and lively area where you can find around restaurants, cafes, shops and malls within walking distance (not for night life). Also if it's possible to be in a green area or with a park around. I spent a lot of time in tripadvisor and booking.com but couldn't make up my mind because I never visited Bristol and I can't trust pictures. So please if you tried a good hotel please let me know.
Thank youLast edited by phoenix-; 18-07-2012 at 21:22. -

Re: A very good hotel in bristol wantedI've never stayed there (although I have been to an event there), but the Avon Gorge Hotel is meant to be very nice. It overlooks the suspension bridge, is next to a park, and is in Clifton Village, which has lots of cafes, restaurants and boutique shops.(Original post by phoenix-)

Re: A very good hotel in bristol wantedI've never stayed in any Bristol hotels but I lived there and would definitely recommend that one for the location and the view, perfect. I always wanted to stay there for the view!(Original post by Origami Bullets)

And yep the village is lovely, great little shops and restaurants. About forty minutes' walk from the centre if you fancy visiting there and it's a lovely walk, too.

Re: A very good hotel in bristol wantedThe Bristol Marriott fits into that description. 4 Star hotel, right outside college green (big patch of grass) which is right next to the cathedral, Cabot circus which is the best place to shop in Bristol is about a 10-15 minute walk down the road and you've got park street literally opposite the hotel which has masses of Cafes and a fair few restaurants all the way along it. The waterfront again is only about a 5 minute walk and there's some nice restaurants/bars around there.(Original post by phoenix-)

Re: A very good hotel in bristol wanted
I'd recommend the Berkeley Square Hotel is got more character than your standard chain hotel, but if you ever need something a little cheaper it's sister hotel The Clifton is really close by too.
