Sorry, posting for traffic as need to make quick booking. Can anyone recommend a nice, central hotel in Bristol preferably with a gym.

I know there are plenty to choose from but a lot have got mixed reviews. Really appreciate any suggestions.

We have stayed in The Bristol Hotel many times before and always had a great stay. A good location for touring the city as well.

Thanks for that, I was actually considering this but some reviews said it was opposite bars and really noisy? We would be there over Xmas time.

We have stayed their at least 8 times all different times of the year and never had a problem with noise at all and I am a light sleeper.

Hotel Du Vin is great. Lovely building, great service and central.

Hotel Du Vin is a favourite, but no gym. For larger hotels in the centre with a gym I’d opt for Bristol Hotel, Marriott Royal and Raddison Blu in that order. Bristol Harbour is a nice smaller one but again, no gym. Enjoy your trip!

I stayed at the Bristol Hotel once for work. It was lush.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 02/11/2019 18:37

The Bristol Hotel is on the harbourside so it is in a very busy part of the city. There are lots of bars and clubs directly opposite, although the water is in between so there is the possibility for noise. It is a fabulous location though

Hotel du Vin. No gym but good jogging or running from door.

jennymac31 · 02/11/2019 20:15

I would recommend The Marriott Royal, as it's a lovely hotel with great pool, facilities etc. The Grand Hotel is a good alternative as well.

Definitely the hotel du vin

Topbird29 · 02/11/2019 20:21

There is also the mecure. Think they have 2 - one in town by the river, and one slightly further out. Not sure if it has a gym though.
Live in bristol, but stayed there on our wedding night as had family at ours.

Think the Marriott royal may have shut its pool. Worth checking if that is essential.

clutchingon · 02/11/2019 20:29

The new hotel du vin overlooking the suspension bridge is very nice.

JessicaRarebit · 02/11/2019 20:35

Du vin is lovely. I used to stay there with my DP. I don’t think it’s very central though but perhaps my memory fails me.

We stayed at the Hilton last year which was very meh. Much prefer a small boutique hotel (not that many great ones in Bristol though).

Du Vin is my fave.

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 02/11/2019 20:38

Marriott Royal is in the most fabulous location, so central and the bar was lovely.

We stayed in the summer and would definitely return.

fortunatelynot · 02/11/2019 23:09

Thank you so much, I shall investigate your suggestions!

Mercury Holland House in Redcliffe has a gym and pool. Away from bars etc so will be quiet
