Bristol City Centre Marriott Hotel

Not many bonuses or luxuries at this hotel - tidy/comfy room but dirty windows and noise from neighboring rooms. Breakfast included, but not very good. Internet access only available at astronomical rates. Hotel is (in summer 2008) adjacent to an enormous urban construction zone. Somewhat removed from the city center and restaurants, the area around this hotel is deserted at night. read more

Overall we had a good experience however, there was a fire alarm in the morning (legitimate, basement fire) and there did not seem to be enough organized control outdoors when it came to informing the masses. The loudhailers did not seem to work and people could not hear enough to be sufficiently informed.

Needs a new GM: the staff, from start to finish and from all departments, were uniformly inept, unhelpful and unaccommodating. Not up to Marriott or 4 star standards and a pretty depressing place to be.

Excellent for the money, clean and tidy. Other than the toilet tissue being very rough, it was perfect.

Clean, well lit, modern, upscale hotel near the heart of Bristol. Within 10-15 minutes walking distance to Bristol Temple Meads train station and within 10-15 minutes walking distance to the bus station. Friendly staff and responsive service. A restful stay for weary travelers.

The hotel was nice and clean. The staff seemed to have been flown in from abroad. They were very nice, but didn't seem to grasp simple concepts. I stayed for 2 nights, but had to check out and then in again for the 2nd night. Various things were charged to the room which shouldn't have been. Equally, things which I should have been charged for weren't.

The Marriott Bristol City Centre is a clean and courteous hotel, with the best cookies ever in the lobby! My room was spacious, and appointed with all the necesicities such as electric teapot, iron, trouser press, hairdryer, toiletries, etc. The mini-bar is activated by sensor, so it is not possible to even look at something without charging your account automatically. The wireless internet, in my opinion, should be complimentary for guests, but instead it is outrageously high with a daily surcharge. The location of the hotel is fairly good as it within walking distance to shopping and attractions. Traffic in Bristol is bad in the evenings so allow time to get to the train depot if you have to take a Taxi during rush hour. Overall the room is everything and more than I expected, being clean, comfortable and accommodating. read more

Great hotel for one night, would have happily stayed two or more. Very relaxing and restful in quite and busy city. An easy walk or bus ride to most attractions and shopping, bus to train station, then on to airport VERY easily accessible a block from hotel.

The hotel was clean and reasonably comfortable. Reception was rather indifferent each time we dealt with them. The bar staff was too busy to take food orders and we had to be ask several times if we could order from the bar menu. The bed was a bit lumpy. For the price, this was a good hotel but fell short of Mariott standards for staff service.
