First time in Bristol
I loved my brief stay here. It was MLK weekend and the hotel was still decorated for the holidays and quite lovely. Very conveniently situated. Easy parking. Walkable to coffee, restaurants, shopping and the best record store, Cheap Thrills. Great rooftop bar. Lovely area in general. I look forward to my next trip.

Of the like 50 hotels I’ve stayed at in the past year, I’d say it was the most completely pleasant. From Amanda greeting me by my first name at the front desk, to the room being lit when I walked in, to the onsite restaurant where the offerings were excellent for both dinner and breakfast, like I said, it was simply plesant. It is also a place I would not hesitate to recommend to friends if they are traveling to Bristol.

The Bristol Hotel is a must experience!
The Bristol Hotel was one of the finest experiences we have had in many, many years. This was a time when the hotel was completely booked. From the moment we checked in with very knowledgeable and kind staff, we were treated as if we were the most important guest registered. The room was exemplary, from the impecable cleanliness to the visual aesthetics. It was a pleasure having such fresh towels and individual toiletries. our room was very quiet, even though the hotel was filled with guests. The restaurant also was of some of the highest quality. The menu was well designed and varied. The chef was very talented creating flavors that were unique and done to perfection. We had the trout and short ribs which were surprising as they did not have the usual flavors, but flavors that raised the experience to the nest level. We pass through Bristol often and we will plan to make The Bristol Hotel a special stop each and every time.

"Grand Hotel," for the area, very nice but somewhat dark and dated. Did not see any casual / less expensive dining options when we arrived about 7 PM and did not feel safe walking through dimly lit and empty alley ways and streets according to the very general directions given to find alternative dining venues.

Not Cheap
Wish the rooftop bar wasn't closed for a wedding on our anniversary, I should have checked. Pretty pricey for a hotel without a microwave and only (1) TV in a suite that is truly not divided by any means, all for $300 a night.

So close to perfect. The onsite restaurant, Vivian's Table, was very good with excellent service. One of the elevators was out of service, there're only 2, for 24 hours. The housekeeping missed the mark. One day, they took the soaps even one we brought from home. Didn't replace the glasses one day. Ugh.

The rooms are nicely appointed and definitely a great value for the money. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We loved the private guest party on the rooftop to watch Independence Day fireworks. However, since our first stay 2 years ago, the area immediately surrounding the hotel seems to have become a homeless hangout; I would not feel safe going out alone after dark. Also, the rooms are getting dusty in the higher spots. My family is unusually tall so we can see the build up on light fixtures and trim. Even with all that said, we will gladly stay there again and recommend the property to any who ask.

Do it yourself
The hotel is very nice. It’s impeccably clean, spacious, quiet and comfortable. The only complaint is that I found staff to be unhelpful. I asked to use a cart to carry suitcases and such to the 5th floor. I was directed to an area and located the cart. This area was next to the desk where staff was sitting. My expectation was that he would get up and pull the cart out and then hold the door so I could maneuver through. I was disappointed that none of that happened even though I was the only one there. I didn’t have any other encounters so perhaps this was just one person who didn’t think to act.

Top notch, don't miss it
Excellent hotel. Furnishings, fixtures, bedding, mattress, shower were all high quality. Very clean. I liked the firm mattress and the fluffy pillows. I enjoyed watching dozens of geese and goslings parade down the street from my window. I stayed on a Wednesday night and it was very quiet. I had breakfast which was pricey but the food was top notch. The only drawback is the parking. It's curbside or in a lot across the street only (plenty of spots available). That would have been a deal breaker for me had I known. Still, I am glad that I stayed here and I will probably return. I also highly recommend the hotel to my coworkers in spite of the parking. Very modern feel.
