Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel

“Very comfortable city centre hotel (a great breakfast too!)”

We were a family group of six and, although my friend and I have stayed here before, it was a first time stay for my daughter, son-in-law and their two young children. We had two rooms (#1110 & #1225) which were a good size and very comfortable, each having two double beds. However, there was no co… more

We were a family group of six and, although my friend and I have stayed here before, it was a first time stay for my daughter, son-in-law and their two young children. We had two rooms (#1110 & #1225) which were a good size and very comfortable, each having two double beds. However, there was no comfy chair in our room (#1225), although there was a small table, so there was nowhere for either of us to sit other than on the bed; it was nothing more than a minor niggle though. Breakfast, which is buffet style, was substantial and high quality with an excellent choice of hot and cold dishes, including vegetarian options and an egg / omelette station. With so much variety, the breakfast spread here really does cater for every need and I think you’d have to be hard to please, or have quite specific dietary requirements, if you can’t find something to suit your taste. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy at breakfast time, and staff were run off their feet, we had no complaints with the service. Front of house staff were efficient, polite and friendly and it was nice to arrive to smiling faces and an unfailing willingness to help. The underground car park is very handy (£17 for an overnight stay), although spaces are on the small side and it’s not always easy to manoeuvre into them when cars have been badly parked. There’s a lift from the car park, directly to the hotel, which is useful as it avoids the need to go outside with luggage. The hotel is centrally located, right next to the cathedral and just a short walk to the waterfront. The building itself is striking with plenty of character and gorgeous decor and, although there’s a lovely ambiance and buzz in the public areas of the hotel, the soundproofing did a great job of shutting out any noise in our room ensuring it was calm which we greatly appreciated. Notwithstanding the lack of a comfy chair in our room, we had a lovely stay and no complaints. For a fabulous night’s sleep in a superbly comfortable bed, followed by a delicious breakfast the following morning, Bristol Marriott Royal takes some beating. It delivers excellent hospitality, at a reasonable price for a hotel in its category, and ticks all the boxes for a great stay. We'll certainly return.

“A comfy easy hotel in the centre of Bristol”

Lovely comfy room on the 4th floor, i was on business so worked in my room a lot but it seemed the guests on my floor were enjoying themselves rather loudly.

Lovely comfy room on the 4th floor, i was on business so worked in my room a lot but it seemed the guests on my floor were enjoying themselves rather loudly. Only the Miller and Carter to eat which was lovely and only the bar in the Miller and Carter was open, it seemed there was a lot of wasted space not being used in the hotel, Great location and easy to park, will be back

“Bristolian Elegance”

Room was beautiful, vast, well appointed, elegant full bathroom (I mean with a bath), comfy bed. Great buffet breakfast and nice service staff to boot.

“Lovely hotel but awful pillows!”

I stayed in the delux family room. The room was very clean and spacious, great shower and lovely shampoo and conditioner. The staff were really friendly both on reception and at breakfast, location great and parking was really reasonable. The hotel Is very, very clean and has lovely flower displays everywhere and smells amazing. The only issue we had with our stay was none of us actually had a good night sleep due to the pillows, 5 of us stayed and all of us had the same issue. The pillows feel nice but as soon as you lie on them go from big and fluffy to flat as a pancake! It was a shame as it ruined a really enjoyable stay, if I stayed again I would take my own pillows!
