Future Inn Bristol

Definitely stay here again. The missing star is only because 2 out of 3 lifts were out of order, which meant a wait. Otherwise, very good.

Great hotel. Free parking. Lovely staff throughout the hotel.

Great location and the parking is a great bonus.

We had a lovely weekend stay here. Couldn't fault the room, two lovely comfy double beds, nice bath and shower, complimentary bottled water daily, bathrobe and slippers. The breakfast was amazing, really plentiful and tasty. The only thing that let it down, was the fact the bar was closed Saturday afternoon, we wanted a glass of wine after shopping, and was told it would be open after 3pm. A 4* hotel really should have all facilities open, especially at a weekend. Staff were always very friendly and helpful.

I stayed here on business in September 2025. I had booked well in advance, so was disappointed that I was given a room on the ground floor. There were a lot of homeless people outside the window, there was a constant hum of the fans and the TV had no sound. I asked to be moved, but the receptionist said they didn't have any other rooms. After 30 minutes, I couldn't take any more of the hum, so I asked another receptionist, who was able to find me a room on one of the higher floors. These ground floor rooms should not be in use, as they are not of the same standard as the rest of the rooms. Apart from that, the breakfast was good and the conference facilities are good too. Handy that they offer free parking in the adjacent car park.

Absolutely cracking and really spacious room. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was purely due to the lack of info regarding the car park and getting to the hotel from it. Reception staff really good and decent atmosphere in the bar

Excellent hotel next to Cabot circus. Really appreciate the free parking. Clean rooms.

Ive stayed here lots of times over the years and its always been good. But what have they done to the restaurant. The food has become absolute garbage. I got just 3 chicken wings on the starter and possibly the worst rib eye steak I've ever been served. £27!!. The first went back as it had been kept warm I suspect because they wanted to serve it with our starters. The second offering wasn't much better steak replaced but everything else kept warm. This time the worst cut of meat I've ever seen.It was left and removed from the bill. The staff are great and couldn't be more apologetic. The bar is now closed until 5pm. Shame as the Chophouse WAS always nice to eat.

Great location, brilliant restaurant.

A really nice business style hotel next to to Carbot Shopping centre Early check in with an upgrade saw a large twin room with 2 double beds and free parking

A good location for a stay in Bristol, the hotel was very clean, quiet, easy to find.

We have stayed at this hotel a couple of times a year since the year it opened. Never have I left a bad review or complained this time was awful. My husband’s words were “ you wouldn’t rent this room by the hour” it was dirty, the upkeep was nil the carpet was absolutely disgusting, the tiles in the bathroom toilet were cracked and moved. The door wouldn’t shut properly, there was no coffee in the supposed coffee pot, it smelled in the room and out the hall it was worst stay we ever had so disappointed after all these years.

No attention to cleanliness in the room, dusty chair and curtains, bits and stains on the floor. Slippery shower and no shower mat provided. Door very stiff to open/shut and very noisy corridor

The location is excellent and the free parking is a bonus. However, the room was not as clean as it should have been, the toilet had an unpleasant smell, and the mugs were not very clean and there was waste left under the bed.

Staff were nice enough, room was tired and not very clean (random piece of rubbish on the floor in the bathroom) Resented paying a huge amount when it's on a par with a basic Travelodge/Premier Inn room - but that's Saturday night in a city! Only positive thing was the free parking

Room was dirty. Thick dust, drinks glasses were really dirty. Bed was uncomfortable with springs . Shower only faced the wall so had to hold it in place while having a shower.

After a wam welcome at reception we were told our car had to be moved next door to the Multi story carpark within 15minutes as the council have cameras to the rear of the property in the carpark. Then to the room. Dated and very ‘brown’ but expected that after the reviews I’d read. I have absolutely no idea why we were given a disabled access room? Onto cleanliness. Carpet clearly hadn’t been hoovered as there was still mess where the bed settee had been out. The bin was overflowing with rubbish and empty water bottles. The bathroom - here was when things went really downhill. The black filth behind the taps could be seen in the reflection of the mirror. The floor and tiles were damaged and the grout very stained. The shower appeared to be a wet area. There was a seat on the wall which took up the bulk of the space so it was hard to get under the shower to wash. The higher shower head then flooded the room completely and didn’t drain for ages so had to wait a while for a second shower and use the lower body shower head. The shower curtain was filthy. I was tempted to take it down myself. There was somebody’s half used shower pouch still on the shower shelf. It is a health and hygiene nightmare! Such a shame as the location is wonderful and we had a great night. I rarely leave any reviews but felt this was necessary. I did mention the cleanliness to a very apologetic receptionist on our departure. Do something about your cleaners Future Inn!!

Super clean and nice

The room was really comfortable as were the beds. Super clean room. Few problems with the television which got sorted and no problems after that. The staff were welcoming, helpful and excellent.

Very clean, helpful staff and close for the centre and shops. Free parking a big plus too. All round excellent hotel.

We stayed for two nights to look round Bristol city center and to see a show at the Hippodrome theater the locations suited us well and easy walking distance to the Hippodrome. The room was clean and quiet with a very roomy bathroom with fitted shower, large bed that was very comfortable,there was also air conditioning very welcome as we visited during a heatwave, there was also a safe located in the wardrobe. we did not eat at the hotel, it was conveniently next to Cabot Circus. Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was included in the price saving us £20 per day stay. We will use this Hotel again when we return to watch another show.

Good location for shopping & walkable distance to Bristol Hippodrome & harbourside. Only downside was the bed which was like a fruit bowl, kept rolling into each other during the night. Also kept saying week signal on some of the TV Channels

Absolutely loved the size of the beds and the room!

The hotel itself is well located. The rooms are in need of modernising and the beds were awful. Way too old and soft. We had an awful nights sleep. Breakfast surprisingly redeemed the hotel. The breakfast staff were great, friendly and attentive. The food was surprisingly good too and better quality than expected, the coffee was subpar though!

The only problem was the internet was not great I had to go out an by a WiFi dongle as the internet speed wasn’t good enough for my laptop for me to complete my jobs on it

I stayed in a twin room with my mum. The hotel and staff are lovely and it's well located to explore bristol but there are two main points that could be improved on. All lights in the room are controlled by one switch. So neither of us could read in bed without keeping the other awake! Never been to a hotel like this. The bed side lights and main lights should be all individual, most ridiculous set up I've ever seen. Also on the Saturday night there was a party on the top floor (6th). The music could be heard throughout the entire hotel. We were on the 3rd floor and could feel it! We wanted to go to sleep at a reasonable time, but this was hindered as the music stayed on until nearly midnight!

The location of this hotel is great and I've stayed here many times over the years. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The rooms themselves are clean and a good size. What lets the hotel down is that it is so tired. The beds are so old and lumpy and they sag meaning you have a rather uncomfortable nights sleep. The air conditioning appears to be controlled centrally too and the room was so hot overnight. Such a shame this hotel hasn't been invested in/upgraded as it used to be fantastic.

Location is great and very close to the centre. The room was very comfortable and staff were super nice. It was a shame that the room was not equipped with a little fridge

Pleasant room (given free upgrade as we wanted a bath rather than shower) room was spacious and very comfortable. Lady at reception very helpful at check in. Convenient location for most sightseeing. Free car parking was an absolute bonus.

Feels tired, needs work. Rhos was NOT a cheap hotel, and yet the towels had the texture of sandpaper, and loose threads hanging off 3 lifts, but only one working to service 6 floors with an 8 person limit. Mattresses so springy that you nearly bounce straight back out of bed when trying to get in. Nice building, friendly staff, but the place needs a serious refresh and some money spent. The corners they have cut just aren't acceptable.

Clean room and bathroom, breakfast staff were outstanding

Front desk staff were awesome. Hotel was very conveniently located. Room was comfortable

The staff were amazing! We received a very warm welcome and were greeted with smiles and friendly 'hello's'. each time we entered the hotel or passed reception on our way to the bar during our 2 night stay . The bar staff went over and beyond to make us feel welcome and well looked after. They were both very chatty and friendly. Likewise, each person we saw on reception was friendly and happy to help. I booked a family room for 3 people but we only had 2 of everything (mugs, towels etc) but it was so easily and promptly resolved by the helpful, apologetic staff. All of the staff had the same kind approachable nature which was so noticeable. The room was clean and a good size. I'm being picky to give 4 stars for cleanliness but there was a big stain on the carpet in the doorway to our room and the carpet was a bit ragged / tired. I also noticed the odd spec on the bathroom mirror but none of these things affected our stay. Breakfast was a nice buffet with lots to choose from but at £18 a head, in my opinion, £54 for breakfast was far too expensive. The location is great being right next to Cabot Circus and although its a busy road outside, it wasnt noisy at all. The staff àre all so friendly, we had comfy beds, free parking and good air con....we would definitely return! (but get breakfast somewhere else nearby)

Brilliant very helpful and professional staff

Customer service is excellent

We had a really lovely couple of nights here while celebrating my wife’s birthday. Check-in was quick and easy, and our room was spacious, comfortable, and very quiet. I asked reception for an extra robe, as there was only one in the room, and it was brought up promptly with no fuss — great service. The location is excellent, with plenty of restaurants and entertainment nearby. It’s only about a 15-minute walk to both Bristol Harbour and Temple Meads station, making it a really convenient base. All of the staff we encountered were friendly, professional, and welcoming. Overall, a great stay that made our trip extra special.

Future Inn hotel stay was beyond our expectation. Very comfortable beds, very clean amenities, polite and professional staff and a very tasty buffet breakfast which is the icing on top of the cake. Staff membet Zoltan at the front desk was exceptional who always go an extra mile. I wholeheartedly recomnend this hotel which situated right next to a big shopping centre and closer to Bristol temple meads station. For the price we paid for a family of 4, it was worth every penny.

Check in was very rude. Thankfully this was not the case with the breakfast staff.

Pleasant room (given free upgrade as we wanted a bath rather than shower) room was spacious and very comfortable. Lady at reception very helpful at check in. Convenient location for most sightseeing. Free car parking was an absolute bonus.

The staff at Future Inn (Bristol) are great, great attitude and nothing is too much. Rooms are comfy and a good size with air conditioning that works really well. Breakfast was very nice with lots of choice. Car parking on the doorstep (virtually) saves having to drive into Bristols ever changing road rules! We enjoyed our stay

The hotel is just opposite Cabot Circus, which is very convenient for shopping and dining and going to other places by bus. It is close to National Express and Mega bus stops.

Great location and extremely convenient to have the free parking that we could come and go from and which was a 2 minute walk away. The staff were very friendly. Good breakfast with extra choices included to order like pancakes and omelettes. The room had a nice style - the brown decor looked modern rather than 70s - which I had wondered when booking from some of the pictures. The room itself was clean but overall a bit worn around the edges. Overall would stay again because of the convenience.

Great location and the parking is a great bonus.

In a great location for all amenities

Excellent hotel next to Cabot circus. Really appreciate the free parking. Clean rooms.

Lovely hotel in a great location right in the heart of Bristol. Parking included at the multi storey car park next door. Friendly staff, spacious rooms,lovely bar and breakfast

Great location for shopping/parking ( next to hotel) plus easy access to motorway

Always try and pick hotel when visiting Bristol as parking is easy. You park in Cabot Circus and then hotel is a few yards away from the lift/Stairs exit. Parking is usually included as part of an overnight stay

Very good stay and nice room. The only thing I will say is that £17.50 for breakfast is very pricey, however I was of good quality.

Breakfast cold especially scrambled eggs replacement supplied stated cooked fresh were still cold heating system stopped working this was not our first stay impressed the first time hotel now tired and was disappointed

Breakfast choice, setting and service excellent. Great parking arrangements

Fantastic breakfast! In the middle of the city center. Good room.

Good gluten free choices at breakfast

Spacious room with reasonable temperature control. Comfortable bed with good selection of pillows. Very convenient for Cabot Circus. Parking next door. Good breakfast selection. Staff helpful.

Ive stayed here lots of times over the years and its always been good. But what have they done to the restaurant. The food has become absolute garbage. I got just 3 chicken wings on the starter and possibly the worst rib eye steak I've ever been served. £27!!. The first went back as it had been kept warm I suspect because they wanted to serve it with our starters. The second offering wasn't much better steak replaced but everything else kept warm. This time the worst cut of meat I've ever seen.It was left and removed from the bill. The staff are great and couldn't be more apologetic. The bar is now closed until 5pm. Shame as the Chophouse WAS always nice to eat.

Parking was fast and easy, multi storey car park right next to the hotel free of charge for hotel residents. Hotel is very centrally located, everything within walking distance. Hotel was nice and clean. Breakfast was very good, plenty of selection both continental and full hot english breakfast.

Great location, brilliant restaurant.

Central position. Welcoming . Rooms comfortable although sink tap in room 301 was a little loose. A bath mat as routine would be helpful as opposed to a small notice saying they're available on request - only seen as getting into shower! All staff were smart and helpful. Dinner menu was extensive, meal well cooked and beautifully presented. Breakfast had a large range of items available but plates for the hot choices were cold and the food was only lukewarm. Disappointing after the standard of dinner. The included, free parking was a tremendous bonus. The hotel is worth a stay despite the above observations which could be easily and inexpensively rectified.
