What guests think

At Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel, travellers praise the grand historic building, central location and friendly staff, with many finding spacious rooms and handy on site dining and parking, though some note expensive parking, occasional noise and patchy breakfast service.

Rooms and public areas are widely described as clean, but reviews also report inconsistencies in housekeeping and maintenance. Facilities include a well regarded gym and an attached Miller & Carter restaurant and bar; several guests mention the former pool is closed and that bar or restaurant service can be slow or limited late. Overall, expect a characterful, central stay with modern comforts and occasional operational niggles.

Really enjoyed our 2-night stay here. The location is excellent giving easy access to Clifton, the city centre, and the harbourside. The hotel was very clean, well-maintained, and full of character. The staff were also very helpful. We would recommend this hotel. The on-site car parking was also convenient.

An excellent hotel in the heart of Bristol literally opposite the Bristol Aquarium. Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful hotel lobby and Palm Court. Plentiful onsite parking at £17 a night. Huge gym onsite too. Breakfast buffet was good. Our room which had two large double beds was very clean. Would highly recommend staying here and if I was to return to Bristol I would definitely stay here again.

Big hotel, great location, nice enough people. Adjoining room was very noisy for two of the nights, sounded like a hen party the first night and football fans the second night. Not ideal with a baby. Disappointed there wasn’t a pool, apparently they used to have one precovid and didn’t reopen after. Restaurant and breakfast was nice, room was clean and functional.

We really enjoyed our one night stay here and would definitely stay again. The bedroom was a good size, bed comfy and shower amazing. The only issue we had was that dirty dishes/trays and glasses which had been outside other rooms had not been moved all the time we were there from 5pm up to 10.15am next morning. Perhaps an oversight but not nice to see in such a grand hotel.

Our stay was completely ruined due to several issues, the most alarming being the discovery of silverfish in our bed. When I reported this to the staff, they seemed shocked and concerned, yet no effort was made to compensate us for such an unacceptable experience. On top of that, the room was uncomfortably cold, with inefficient heating that failed to provide any relief. This level of service is far below what I expect from a Marriott hotel, and I am deeply disappointed.

Staff is friendly. The rooms are large and clean. The location is great. If you are scent sensitive then it is hard to spend time in the main area of the hotel because they spray this strong scent which made me ill. They didn’t clean the room the first day (we stayed 4 days). The room faced the courtyard and it was loud and hard to sleep.

Great location and a nice overall experience. Good levels of cleanliness ..can't fault it. The only thing that took the shine off the experience was the environmental noise that was in our room for most of the night. It wasn't our air con, but the 'hum' that was a constant did interrupt my sleep. Room 705.

There wasn’t enough staff so check in was terribly slow, we waited over half an hour which I think is unacceptable as we had a reservation for dinner so ended up running late. But the staff were lovely and helpful, it’s not their fault they were understaffed. Our sat was great, breakfast was fabulous. The room wasn’t spotless, I found a few rouge short and curlies in the shower but again the poor cleaner was struggling to clean all the rooms on her own! GET MORE STAFF!!!

Our baby sitter had to cancel two days before we were due to go so I emailed and I called around 25 times to try and get to through the front desk to inform them it took two days and constant calling to get through they said a sofa bed and cot will be put out for when we got there. When we got there check in was easy and we went to our room there was no cot in the room so I tried calling the reception with no avail so had to go down to request the cot again. The sofa bed was incredibly uncomfortable it would have been comfier on the floor. Once we were asleep all we could hear was cars and people going past shouting all night I understand we are in the city centre but we’ve stayed here a few times and been on the bottom floor and didn’t hear a thing this was a top floor junior suite and it sounded like the window was open all night turns out on of the windows wasn’t double covered like the other windows. So no one had a restful sleep.

Great location and friendly staff. However, free internet would not connect, kept asking me for a payment as would not recognise me as being a paying guest/my room number and name. Then at breakfast I was presented with a bill whilst at the table despite it being included in the room rate. Eventually the staff sorted it all out, but left me feeling a little disappointed in what had been a good stay up until that point.

We had a great family trip staying at the Marriott Hotel in Bristol recently. Location: You couldn't ask for better! Being right in the centre of Bristol made it super easy to walk everywhere—all the sights, attractions, and places to eat were right on our doorstep. The Room: The rooms were fantastic—seriously big, spotlessly clean, and everything felt really well looked after. Hotel Amenities: The facilities were good, and the gym was a real highlight. It had a ton of modern cardio and weights gear, so keeping up with our workouts was no problem. The staff were also really helpful and friendly, which just added to the nice vibe. The buffet breakfast was a little small, though it did have one hot food station.

This hotel is situated at the bottom of Park Road and just by college green and harbourside. This makes it convenient for visiting the aquarium, harbourside for their restaurants, the bristol hippodrome is a 5 min walk away. Park street itself leads up to the impressive Wills Memorial Building well worth a visit. On your way up stop off at 1 of the many independent cafes and restaurants. Ive stayed in a few hotels in bristol over the past 3 years and have to say this is my favorite, although you pay a bit more for its location and grandness for me it was worth every penny The parking is easy for guests if the hotel.it is £17 per day to park. The hotel is inpressive to look at comlletw with revolving doors. The palm room for functions is stunning. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The addition of the miller & carter inside the hotel means you can have a drink in the bar or on the terrace or a full meal.

Great location for exploring the city. Our room was large and comfortable, and well serviced. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues in the room which were sorted straight away. The restaurant and bar was run by Miller and Carter, the food and restaurant service was very good. The bar service was slow, they ran out of port by the second night of our stay and although they had a cocktail menu they wouldn’t make a simple Negroni as it wasn’t on the menu, they had the ingredients. So we thought the bar was a bit limited for a hotel of this caliber. Apart from this we thought it was a great hotel with great staff, we would definitely use it again.

We went to Bristol Hippodrome in the evening so it’s great, walked just around the corner. One member of staff as we approached the desk said she was on a shift change and someone would be out straightaway! Didn’t happen so we ended up queuing all over again to see someone else. At 10:20pm, we returned from theatre to hotel and we could not have a coffee as machine was finished!!! All lights were still on and I’m sure had we been in their Miller & Carter restaurant we would have had one! Poor service for such a grand hotel. Barman was unapologetic. Rooms are quiet except for the usual thoughtless people slamming the bedroom door. Breakfast, no teaspoons with cup & saucers, tables weren’t cleared either all dishes on your table whilst you negotiated a space or empty tables left with dirty dishes on. We would stay again for convenience and car parking but maybe skip breakfast.
