Moxy Bristol

By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.

Moxy Bristol is worth booking if you want a well-rated 4-star base close to the central shops, bars and restaurants, at a reference price below the city median. If you expect a full luxury hotel with a pool or spa, it is the wrong choice, because none of that is listed.

Who it suits and who should skip it

This is our Luxury pick for Bristol, and it needs some context. No five-star hotel made the cut in our sample, so the slot went to a four-star property that cleared our bar of 8.5. Moxy Bristol scored 8.7 out of 10 from 5,051 guest reviews, the joint top score among the 8 eligible properties we compared.

It suits couples and short city-break travellers who want to be near shopping, bars and places to eat, and who value a friendly front desk. The property lists family rooms and a gym, and pets are tagged as accepted, so families and dog owners may find it workable.

Skip it if luxury to you means a spa, a pool or a fine-dining restaurant. Our data lists none of these. Skip it too if you plan to walk to Clifton every day, as it is a long way on foot.

Location and getting around

The address is 55 Newfoundland Street. Guests rate the location 8.9 out of 10, and they describe it as central, near the shopping centre, bars and restaurants.

Walking times here are straight-line estimates and have not been checked on the ground. SS Great Britain is 2.2 km away, about 28 minutes on foot. Clifton Suspension Bridge is 3.2 km, around 40 minutes, and Ashton Gate stadium is 3.5 km, roughly 44 minutes. Those last two are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi.

Parking is not confirmed, so drivers should check options and cost.

What guests say

Two themes come up most in positive reviews. The first is location, close to the shopping centre and to bars and restaurants. The second is staff, described as friendly and helpful, with a warm welcome and attentive service.

The main complaint is value for money. Some guests find the rates reasonable, while others think the facilities are overpriced for what they get.

Price and what you get, compared with our other two picks

The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 was €145.72 per night for 2 adults in one room. That is 8% below the sample median of €157.72. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.

Here is the odd part. Our Best Value pick, Clayton Hotel Bristol City (4 stars, 8.6), was seen at €210.85 a night, more than this Luxury pick. Our Budget pick, Victoria Square Hotel Clifton Village (3 stars, 8.2), was seen at €109.11.

For that money the listed facilities are free Wi-Fi, a fitness centre, a 24-hour front desk and family rooms. Breakfast is listed as a buffet. Whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed.

Why it made our top 3

We compared 8 eligible Bristol properties. Five-star hotels get priority for the Luxury slot, but a four-star hotel can take it if it scores at least 8.5. Moxy Bristol scored 8.7 from more than 5,000 reviews, the joint highest in the sample.

The tradeoff: luxury here means a top-rated four-star, not a full-service five-star.
