This is our Budget pick for Bristol. It is a three-star hotel with a guest score of 8.2 out of 10 from 3,853 reviews.
It suits travellers who want to explore Clifton Village and the bridge on foot, and families, since family rooms are listed. Pets are tagged as allowed, subject to the hotel's conditions.
Skip it if you want the highest-rated hotel in town. It ranked joint fifth of the 8 we compared on guest score, and both of our other Bristol picks score higher.
Location and getting around
The address is Victoria Square, in Clifton. Guests describe a quiet square close to the village shops and the suspension bridge, and the location score is 9.4 out of 10.
Straight-line walking estimates: SS Great Britain about 10 minutes (0.8 km), Clifton Suspension Bridge about 11 minutes (0.9 km) and Ashton Gate stadium about 21 minutes (1.7 km). Real routes may be longer, and Clifton has hills, so allow extra time.
All three are within reach on foot. For anything further, plan on public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
Reviewers like the setting on a quiet square and the short walk to Clifton Village. Staff get credit for a warm welcome and useful local tips.
Breakfast is the weak spot. Guests say the cooked options taste good, but service is often slow and disorganised, and some items run out. Room size, noise and condition have not been assessed by us.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 8 eligible hotels in Bristol. For the Budget slot we take the lowest eligible reference price after setting aside the upscale pick. This hotel came in at that lowest price with a respectable score and a large review count.
The breakfast complaints are real, but they did not outweigh the price and location.
