Travelodge Bristol Central

The location of this hotel was superb for our site seeing. There were so many restaurants nearby. 10 minute walk to the train station. The hotel was very clean both in the room and the bathroom. The staff were very helpful Good value basic breakfast

1st time in Bristol, stayed here as close to everything Lovely welcome from marie, all staff very cheerful & helpful Room clean, bit hot but had a fan Breakfast good, plenty on offer, very small area for how busy it was Big thanks to marie, was our daily tour guide recommend all the right things for us to see and do every day & night

For a city centre stay this hotel was excellent as many attractions were within walking distance. The breakfast was nicely cooked, there was plenty of choice including cereals, pastries, fresh fruit and yogurt and the quality of the food and beverages was excellent. The room was well sound proofed and a fan was provided to keep the air cool as there was no air conditioning. Plenty of towels and hot water but you do need to bring your own soap and shampoo. For a budget friendly stay we would be more than happy to recommend this Travelodge to others looking for reasonably priced city centre accommodation.

As already mentioned the food was terrible and the service really poor. Very expensive room, parking and food and non existing service. Stay elsewhere if you can

Hotel is on ring road and accessing it by car problematic by satnav as there is a central reservation and you can only access coming from the west, not the city. Plenty of parking (not run by Travelodge though). No one tells you you have to pay for parking in advance, so you spend the next week worrying if Horizon parking will send you a fine, even if you pay before you exit. Not a great memory from the stay to be honest. Room was clean if small, but then you don't use Travelodge to spend time in the room for anything other than sleeping. It was very hot during the visit and even though the window was open all the time and the supplied fan at maximum speed, it was still hot to sleep with anything on at all. The room was at the front where the ring road is, so take earplugs if you want to sleep at all. Everything is clean, breakfast is good, though not that many spaces, expect to share a table. Close to the centre and river, so only a short walk to the Cabot shopping area.

We stayed here for the Bristol Harbour Festival- a fabulous event. The hotel was very pleasant and clean, and the staff were wonderful- friendly, helpful and always on hand with a smile. Very happy to replenish tea bags and milk. TBH if considering which room to book, there is hardly any difference between Standard and the tier above, except mine had a coffee machine plus full Wi-fi instead of the standard 30 mins free per day. I drink only tea but those who are coffee ******* or/and require more than the standard 30 mins wi-fi connection may find the £20 extra (4 nights) worthwhile. However, I did have to keep reconnecting every 30 mins. Otherwise standard, where my friend booked the last one available, and my room, were identical, though she had 2 chairs rather than one. Both rooms were clean and fresh, and with the very warm weather the window could be left open (unlike many sealed hotel rooms, for which we were very grateful) and a fan was provided, sufficiently quiet to run whilst asleep. We didn't avail ourselves of breakfast being a vegetarian and a vegan, but a few mins walk down the road to the further harbour cut- through was the Mocha Mocha, open from 7am that served us very well. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options in Bristol, though (the Flour House being fabulous). In the 4 nights we were there, both our key cards failed to work on 3 different occasions, initially told to store them away from other cards/phone, but we were then told they could be tempremental. At the station on the way home we found free fabulous clear plans of Bristol being given out, far superior to maps online. It would be brilliant if the hotel had a supply of these for guests. We didn't discover the two shortcuts to the harbour until well into our stay. The bus stop on the same side of the road a few paces to the right from the front door (Gasferry Road stop) is the no 9 bus, running every 15 mins, that takes you into town and the Temple Meads Railway Station, very handy with cases. The other key bus is the number 8 from College Green, which we caught a number of times visiting places round Bristol including Clifton Village (recommended). This starts directly outside the railway station, and it's not far to walk to the hotel. Internally the hotel was very quiet, despite a busy period, and the beds were comfortable. We adored Bristol and will definitely be returning, Harbour Festival or not!
