I picked this hotel because it is a few minute walk from the Temple Meads train station. It's…read morespacious for European standards and the TV has great channels! Who doesn't like watching Jamie Oliver and Lorraine Pascale? Beds were comfy, the room was clean and in a good location (most shops/restaurants) were within a 15-20 minute walk. There's free breakfast every morning but it's nothing special. I just went for a croissant and tea. They have eggs, baked beans, bread and cereal (same menu). There's also free and fast wi-fi in the room. Overall, it was a good value and I'd stay there again.

The night I was here, the bar downstairs was a bit rough, full of contractors. As theres no restaurant, people order takeaways and eat them in the bar, also two guys had a carry out from an off licence in there.

This was a definite plus and minus stay. Right across from…read morethe train station, perfect We were in the first floor, and every step was a creak. The bed was very old.

My only complaint was the lack of any airflow. The heatwave made it difficult to sleep and opening the window did little to help. The location is superconvenient to rail and bus travel.

I feel that some of the negative reviews must be people who are very sensitive or used to higher end accommodation. While this hotel is a budget hotel, it's perfectly serviceable with comfortable beds and linens. We didn't have any issues with noise, but admittedly aren't typically sensitive to that. The most recent review I can see on yelp for this hotel is 4 years old, so perhaps they have changed management since that time. I would stay again.

The idea of it did, but the place is a little depressing. It's a budget hotel for young people. The lobby has a bar, a pool table, and a small sitting area. It reminds me of a cheaper version of Nobu/Sobu hotels. The room is bar bones. Like a college dorm. No baths -- only stand up showers with a wet room feel. There is no distinction between the shower portion of the floor and rest. So once you take a shower the room is soaked. There only a few channels on the telly. Which was a bit of a bummer. The room service is interesting -- there are no phones, you whatsapp to get service. We texted down for towels and got them within 10 minutes.That was great. They also extended our check in and held our bags no charge. While it's not the the BEST hotel in the world. It's close to the train and is cheap. Depending on your lifestyle it may be amazing. But for me -- it was very meh.

If you have mobility issues, let them know at booking time- as there would be great difficulty with the stairs & hallways if you had walking or balance issues. (Hint: Room #1 is larger and next to the front & the pub.) Clean room, modest furnishings, a bit worn, but clean. The bath had a small stand up shower, but the water was hot after a long day. TV, hairdryer, clothes iron, water kettle & tea service - all provided. Also the location is very close (short walk) to the city center and Salisbury Cathedral, with lots of eating & pub options. Morning breakfast buffet (extra) was good & filling, with hot fresh eggs, meats, cheeses, beans, toast, jellies/jam, juices, teas & coffee. Worth the dosh in my humble opinion. The bar was a nice snuggery, but the selection was limited in offerings. Go for convenience & location, and if the weather is good, eat in the courtyard and pet the feral but friendly black cat that roams the hotel. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, and I'd probably stay again, but I'd much prefer a larger room in future. Recommended, but with care on room selection, B+

We had 2 rooms and left at 3:30 AM because the noise from the adjacent club was so loud. We had…read morereflections from the mirror balls reflecting on our ceiling. It was absolutely ridiculous. The clubs don't shut down until 3:30 AM and then all of the club goers hit the street for food, fighting and being loud. If they are staying in the hotel, they are loud in the hallways. It never ends. We got more sleep in our car than we did in the hotel room. Our rooms should have never been booked

So in 1874 renamed "The Grand Hotel" and now is called Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel. Outside of Hotel continues to exhibit the grand style of Italianate Renaissance style that was constructed of limestone ashlar. Hotel is located a short distance from St John's Arch, one of the original gateways to Bristol. I stayed for 3 nights, though pool and fitness room were closed due to Covid restrictions and lack of staffing, in very comfortable room on 1st floor level... So no grand view. My room was tidied up daily which was lovely!! Also they provide shampoo and shower gel along with tea and coffee in room- Electric tea pot. Iron, ironing board and hair dryer. Note: no wash cloths so bring your own. Restaurant in Hotel is called Keeper that provides full bar and balance meals on menu. English Breakfast bar for 10# when you have hotel room or 15# other wise mate. Quite of variety for buffet but I give it 3 stars as wait time for breakfast items to refill so breakfast took a bit more time. Staff service is pleasant and kind even with mask restrictions. Checkout was easy. Cheers!

The window wouldn't open so it was either suffocate in a stuffy room or deal with the noisy AC. One of the elevators wasn't working, the one that did, periodically smelled like sewage and they were both missing buttons. On a positive note, the hotel was in a good location, did have parking (which was very tight) and was next to the Registry Office. We won't be staying here again when we return to Bristol.

Inside, the rooms are finished nicely with everything you would expect from a posh hotel. Rooms were spotless, and room service was very prompt and friendly. Receptionists seem to actually enjoy their job unlike most who are more interested in Facebook. They are very helpful in recommending touristy places to visit and how to get there. The phase 'never judge a book by it's cover' has never been so relevant.

My birthday treat for Mum was becoming ever-so-slightly sour having stood for five minutes in the lobby of the Royal Marriott hotel. We'd walk through its majestic doors, took in the gloriousness of the reception area with all its pomp and grandeur somewhat mystified by what a bargain we had nabbed ourselves. Receptionist: "...Oh wait. You want the OTHER Marriott hotel". Now, I know that Bristol is a fairly large city, but to have two Marriott hotels just a 15 minute walk apart - what are the odds?! (Apparently lots of people make that mistake. Hopefully.) When we eventually got to the right hotel, it felt ever-so-slightly anticlimactic after seeing the beautiful Royal counterpart. But it turned out that we had still grabbed a great room at a discount price. We had a view of the park, easy access to Cabot Circus and a very pleasant resident late night bar in which we had a night cap. The beds were of the sink-into-able kind, with a hot-hot-hot power shower for £70 for two people. To get the best deal, do a bit of internet shopping rather than booking direct - and make sure you go to the right hotel!
