The Bristol Wing, hotel in Bristol

Attractively set in the Bristol Old City district of Bristol, The Bristol Wing is situated 700 metres from Cabot Circus, 1.6 km from Bristol Temple Meads Station and 3.6 km from Bristol Zoo Gardens.

The whole experience was exceptional. I have stayed in other hostels they were good but extra attention was made to making our stay comfortable. Small gift was left on your bed. This included an eye mask, shower gel. A fan which was very much welcomed as it a warm night. Exceptionally clean place. Beds were amazingly comfortable. Breakfast available in the morning. Cereal, toast and drinks. Staff super friendly. Very modern facilities. We will certainly be back. For the price we felt spoilt!!

Rock n Bowl, hotel in Bristol

Situated in the heart of Bristol, Rock n Bowl features free WiFi and TVs in public areas. Guests benefit from discounts at the pizzeria which is located in the same building.

The staff a lady, she was so lovely. My husband booked this place for me and they even helped me get a nice down bed in a lovely room. One time I woke up really late to pee and forgot my key card, and I was so worried, she heard my voice probably but came out and helped me get sorted, that was like 3am I think. Was always checking up to ensure a lovely stay. I’ll say I’m happy.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The staff were really nice and friendly. The hostel is in a great location. The kitchen is really well equipped. The common room was also very nice, with lots of space, a long desk, plenty of chargers, and some games. While other reviews commented on the noise from The Lanes bar, I personally didn't find any issues with noise.

    We were made very welcome and had a room to ourselves which was lovely. The location was excellent so could walk everywhere. We went for budget accomodation so this met our expectations in a hostel setting.

    Great location and great value for money. They also had lovely soaps in the bathroom which was appreciated as many products can be cheap and nasty. Definitely would stay again.

    I had a good stay in this hostel. The room was simple but clean, my bed was comfy, clean bedding. The shared bathroom was clean, with a very good shower, location great. The rules of the hostel don't let you bring food or alcohol to your room but I cannot see a problem with it. The receptionists were always available and happy to help. And of course the place is very cheap... So if you are on a budget and looking for a quiet place to stay this place will meet your requirements.

    Exactly what I paid for, a safe, cheap stay in a locked 2-bed room for me and my friend. On queen's square so right next to everywhere you need for a night out in bristol city. The staff were friendly and we were let in quickly despite arriving at 2-3am. The beds were springy but soft and comfortable enough. The toilet and shower were in excellent condition.

    Staff were very friendly and the location of this youth hostel in the centre of Bristol, next to the marina and the aquarium, is great! The 5 person room was good and the bunk beds were of a decent quality. The bathroom facilities in the corridor were clean. There was a restaurant, a bar and shared kitchen facilities, which had all the equipment, cutlery and crockery that you might need.
