Places to Stay in Bristol

Accommodation in Bristol is as colourful and varied as the city itself. From a city centre hostel attached to a vintage bowling alley to a luxurious lodge in the grounds of a zoo, you’ll find somewhere special to suit you. 

The city’s distinct neighbourhoods each offer different experiences, so it depends what type of trip you’re hoping for…
For something unconventional, check into one of Brooks Guesthouse’s rooftop airstreams for a spot of urban glamping in the Old City. Right next to St Nicholas’ Market, you’ll be in prime position for perusing local craft stalls and tucking into the delicious street food it’s renowned for, from sausage baps to falafel wraps. 

If it’s dining, drinking and nightlife you’re after, check out Rock & Bowl Motel right in the city centre or The Full Moon - a backpacker hostel adjoining the lively Attic Bar in arty, alternative Stokes Croft. 

If you would prefer somewhere more serene, close to University of Bristol Botanic Garden, opt for somewhere in Clifton. Despite the village vibes, independent shops, cosmopolitan restaurants and the iconic Suspension Bridge are all within walking distance. Number Thirty Eight, a boutique hotel in a refurbished Georgian merchant’s house, is in prime position. Relax in a room with a roll top bath or soak up panoramic park views.

Alternatively, go for a really wild stay at Bristol Zoo Gardens. The Lodge is a super stylish apartment with safari-themed rooms and a private terrace looking onto the zoo’s glorious gardens. All stays include VIP animal experiences, from behind-the-scenes evening tours to breakfast with the gorillas! 
                                 
And if you’re just in Bristol for a flying visit - where could be more convenient than Hampton By Hilton Bristol Airport?
