Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel
Breakfast was nice and all food was hot and well stocked. Staff friendly and helpful. Parking let it down lack of space and very small parking bays.

ibis Bristol Centre
Room was excellent for the price, clean and good facilities. Staff were good. Breakfast was awful - not the fault of the staff, no one could make that cheap food into a decent breakfast. The veggie sausages cannot be considered a food item. The hash browns were cheap and inedible. The eggs were poor ...

The Z Hotel Bath
Simple hotel with very few amenities, but excellent for the price. Clean and tidy with compact but cosy rooms. Breakfast offering was limited and there was very little gluten free for coeliacs, so I had to eat out most mornings. Free cheese a d wine on Tuesday evenings, which was a nice touch.
