I stayed at this hotel numerous times over the last twenty years and co tinue to be impressed.
The settjng is perfect overlooking the harbour, its decor stylish with rooms that are comfortable.
I particularly liked the sumptuous tv placement and size, ameneties and storage space.
The breakfast is served in the restaurant overlooking the harbour and is well catered to hot and cold options.
Centrally located, overlooking the water - nice bar / restaurant and at a good price!

Clean hotel with an excellent bar and restaurant. My first night was fine but I was kept up all night on my second night by a nightclub playing music until 2:30am. I will not be staying again.
Modern hotel in a great location by the harbour side in Bristol, lovely spacious and comfortable room with fantastic air conditioning! Within easy walking distance if all central landmarks.
Reception staff very helpful,
Minibar free on first day,
We had the suite, which was very nice air conditioned, tea coffee biscuits every day.

The cleaning staff were lovely. The room was comfortable. However
when I booked and paid for this room it was The Bristol Hotel but by the time I got there it was a Leonardo Group establishment. Had I known this I would not have booked here as I have a moral objection to this hotel group for humanitarian reasons. I am so disappointed and angry and will never book this hotel again.

Staff were very friendly and informative, bed was comfortable, nice to have a bath and the shower was good with high pressure and good temp control.
Few critisms is room was a little dusty and could have done with a new lick of paint, and the fan was a little noisy (probably could do with AC in the future considering the rising temp in the UK) but overall I was happy with the service I got for the money, noon check out was a god send.

Checkin was perfunctory - lovely food and friendly restaurant staff
Great location and about 15 minutes from the station, an easy walk. The dockside area does get busy, avoid if you don’t like to see people having fun, lovely place to walk around plenty to see. We didn’t eat at the hotel, found a bus to Bath only a few minutes walk away. Nice friendly hotel

The location was perfect but the room was very small, no room to move in the bathroom and no air conditioning, we had a very poor nights sleep.
