Top Bristol Hotel Reviews

Novotel Bristol Centre

Novotel Bristol Centre

10/10 Excellent
"Great value and location. On-site parking a bonus, and one of the reasons we booked, with the cost of £17 a night being one of the cheapest in the area. We stayed here a number of years ago where the hotel appeared a little 'tired' and in need of an update... Which i'm please to say it has, definitely a glow-up compared to previous, looking much more expensive than the price tag suggested"
