City Inn Bristol Hotel

Just came back from a weekend trip in Bristol. We stayed at the City Inn and were very happy with the stay. We even booked an additional night whilst there. ;) Just to mention two minus points:: - There was no minibar/fridge or safe deposit in the room. - The breakfast was not as good as I was expecting from a hotel of 4 star standard. The corn flakes offered were 'spongy' and definately not Kellog's cereal as claimed on the breakfast menu at the hotel. But overall, a very good stay and will stay there again when in Bristol.

While being on a business trip, I stayed at the City Inn in Bristol. For a rather high price, I first got a stinking smoking room, than a room with no working water tap and finally a room which was newly renovated (the tape rests used for painting were still sticking on the walls). Soon I noticed that although I turned the air conditionning off, it was still fully functional. I was not able to change room due to limited availability for "my offer" (160 Euros!!). Otherwise, I shared some of the recent opinions already posted on... more

Myself and partner used this as a half way point on the way home after a relaxing week in cornwall, big mistake. Room was ok, but service was terrible. we had booked the Spring deal of DBB. When we sat for dinner the restaurant manager was very nice until he realised we had booked this package. He promptly told us which menu we could have and that we were not allowed to order from the ala carte menu. When i tried to order a nice bottle of red he told me it was not possible to use our offer of a free bottle that had been given to us against... more

We chose the City Inn following the previous reviews here. For our weekend stay, involving day trips out of Bristol, the location was excellent (close to Temple Meads railway station, but within walking distance of the city centre shopping and nightlife). Rooms are bright, modern and attractive, compact but not cramped for two people, and well-equipped - LCD TV, DVD and CD players (free rental of discs from reception). There is complimentary broadband internet access (wired in the bedrooms and wireless in the ground floor public areas).... more

This hotel claims to be "4 Star Deluxe", whilst it is good, it is certainly not in that class. Our 3 night stay was at a very good rate (average £75 plus breakfast) in a double room. The room was adequately sized although seriously lacking in storage space (and if you bring your clothes on their own hangers there is nowhere to hang them and you will have to tranbfer them to the hotel's hangers for the specially appointed hanging areas). Adequate in size with a 6ft bed, but smaller than Americans might expect, the room has TV,... more

The City Inn puts its modern concepts ahead of customer comfort and convenience. The rooms are small have small front hanging wardrobes, no shelf or drawer space and the limited space is filled with an oversized chair. The leisure room is just that; no bigger than a bedroom. But the breakfast quality was very good and they did very good kippers to order.

Booked direct with the hotel online a bit last minute so probably could have shopped around but thought UKP 130 quite overpriced for standard of accommodation. Room size was adequate but not much floor space between bed, table and dressing table. Flat screen was quite small but very clear as the bed wasn't very far from it! Made use of the free DVD's on offer and both films we requested were available and there is internet access if you have a laptop. Staff at the reception desk were very helpful, providing free map and directions. We had a... more

I have stayed in most Bristol city centre hotels over the last few months on business. This is one of the best. Good points: Quiet location. Good in-room entertainment, particularly sports. Room was clean, well-maintained. Room was above average size. CD player/LCD TV/DVD player in room might be useful for longer stay customers - I suspect they're more 'impressive' than 'useful' for most customers. Downsides: Not particularly quiet within the hotel itself; lots of mechanical sounding bumping and clanging. Given a smoking... more

We decided to visit Wessex county as a weekend getaway, with the focus of the visit being Bath. However we quickly found that Bath hotels were quite expensive and our budget was £<60 per night. We found the city in Bristol, having read the reviews we thought it might be a safe bet. When we arrived there we found the hotel is located just east of the city centre. We arrived at the hotel at around 10:30pm and found jsut a few parking spots left in the hotel parking lot. We parked just next to the building, although these spots... more

Found a good deal on a last minute room. Very nice public rooms and restaurant. Given a smoking room by mistake --- and the staff was very prompt in changing it to a non-smoking room. Very nice central location. Room clean and rather large. Nicely done -- lovely wood furnishings. Bit of a crowd at check-in, check-out ... could use more front desk staff. Recommended
