"Stayed for three nights straight. Overall, it was pretty quiet at night, even though it's in the city center, it wasn't overly noisy. The front desk service was quite good. I'd consider staying here again next time I'm in town. Not bad at all."

"Excellent location- near the waterfront and attractions (for me, the Arnolfini and Watershed, where the film festival was held), and restaurants, cafes, etc. I had a room on the 6th floor, away from the waterfront, and it was great- roomy and quiet. Will definitely book again!"

"I stayed at the Grand Bristol by Sunday for one night over the weekend. Overall, it was okay and served its purpose for a short stay. The room was clean and had everything I needed. There were a couple of downsides, though. The shower was a bit unusual and not the easiest to use, which made it less enjoyable. Also, the walls seemed very thin, so I could hear quite a lot of noise from neighbouring rooms. That said, for a short stay it did the job, and the location and basic facilities were adequate. I would consider staying again if I just needed somewhere convenient for a night."

"I liked everything, minimal furniture in the bedroom so its spacious , quality tv speakers, mini fridge in the room., nice bathtub that is quickly filled with water, reasonable price, you can also have some brita water, express check out,"

"The good things about the hotel were its location. Close to restaurants, a famous Banksy or two, lots of shops and theatres. Is a beautiful hotel with nice places to sit and meet if you are in a group. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The car park, despite being £17 per night, was actually better value than other options nearby and we were able to leave the car there until midnight on the day of check out. The negatives were that we were not able to get a reservation in the hotel restaurant which we found unusual. We had a group from 8 to 80 so we were worried about walking yet had no choice as they couldn’t fit us in. They were also impossible to contact as they didn’t reply to messages. There was chaos at check in with guests waiting for up to an hour to check in and get their keys. There were long queues for over two hours from 3pm to at least 5pm. Their excuse was that the hotel was fully booked but it’s not as though they didn’t know all those people were coming! They should have been prepared and there were a lot of unhappy customers that Saturday evening. Some front desk staff were flustered and sorry but couldn’t do anything about it and some didn’t seem to care. We were there a bit earlier so they could have got the process started but they wouldn’t so we had to queue twice. We were quite fed up. Even after all that and me paying £68 for 4 cars I had to keep repeating that I had already paid that and the next day. Something in the system needs to change as it’s frustrating to spend 2 hours checking in when you are only staying for 1 night. Perhaps if they are expecting so many people again they could put out tea and coffee in the tea lounge with a screen to enter and pay for your car and then have some kind of ticket system where you are called to the desk when it’s your turn. It certainly needs better management as it’s not the welcome you expect when you’ve paid to stay in the Marriott brand."

"Beautifully and exceptionally clean hotel lobby and room but room decor was very cold and bland. Comfy bed, lovely shower and great range of products to use. We had a very good breakfast included in our stay and lots of choice. Atmosphere was very flat and depressing - no chatter or conversation from staff which was a shame - probably the constant depressing ‘music’ which was being played. Location was about a 10-15 min walk into Bristol which was fine for us as we love walking. The hotel overlooks graffitied waste ground and the ring road runs right next to it so no lovely views sadly. Most staff looked glum, no conversation or friendliness just bored young staff behind the bar. One lady at reception made up for all of them with her super-bubbly personality. Quite a few were on their phones - hotel was very quiet for a bank holiday. NO parking on-site but there is use of another nearby. Food was okay-to-good - nothing outstanding and quite expensive but only to be expected in a city hotel. Overall, it was worth the discounted price we got it for - definitely would have looked elsewhere if it had been full price."

"Rooms are comfortable and staff very friendly! Very good breakfast, they have english breakfast available plus regular choices."

"Staff is friendly, room is clean and the food was really good"

"The location is close to the Bristol Temple Meads train station, about 5-minute walk. Not too far from the City Centre shopping area, about 15-20 minute walk. The room is quite spacious and staff are friendly. Breakfast was good. It would be great if more varieties for breakfast can be offered."
