Great hotel for The Hippodrome, 02 Academy and other music venues. Short walk and you're in Broadmead and Cabot Circus. Plenty of pubs/clubs and eating places right outside. Would stay here anytime.

Stayed here for the weekend last week on a trip to Bristol. We have stayed here a couple of times before, so was our first choice for a hotel this time. Check in was fine and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The rooms are good, a decent size. We had a superior room I think. Clean and had everything we needed. Nice big windows too to see the city. Location was perfect for us, exactly where we wanted to be. Will certainly come here again in the future.

Great location, right in the centre of Bristol city. I had a harbour view which gave me an amazing morning scene. Spacious room, and great facilities in the room! The only thing I struggled with was the plug near the bed. There were bedside tables which were lovely. However there was nowhere to charge near the bed. It didn't bother me too much as there are plenty of places to charge in the room but I just had to have my devices further. Staff were welcoming and lovely, went out of their way to help and offer 5-star service.

I stayed at the Radisson Blu for a long weekend when visiting friends and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff were genuinely warm, welcoming, and always happy to help — they really made the stay feel special. The location is absolutely perfect being central (the airport bus drops you off beside it) with everything you need close by, from pubs, restaurants to takeaways and shops making it easy to get around and enjoy the area. The river walk was lovely at this time of year and It's also easily within walking distance to the xmas market. The hotel itself was clean, modern, and comfortable, with a relaxing atmosphere throughout. And if the weather is bad they will also lend you a brolly. Overall, a brilliant stay and I’d happily return. Highly recommended!

Very spacious room with everything I needed. But I needed to make a video call during the afternoon and the room lighting wan't very bright. The room was nice and quiet, no external noise. Tea tray was ok, but there were no decaf drinks. I went to reception to get a hot chocolate. They have toiletries in case you forget anything. There was a great fruit bowl and flavoured water in the reception area. Parking was easy once you knew where the entrance was. £20 per night, so not cheap. I also didn't realised there was a charge for parking when I read the booking info. The bed was huge and very comfortable. There are no power sockets near the bed. Well there was one that the lamp was plugged into but for some reason it wasn't a UK socket. This is an issue if you have a medical device. I needed to call reception for an extension lead.

The hotel has a good location. The room was spacious and offered a nice view. I did experience some difficulties after check-out. I had forgotten something in my room, and the hotel did not respond for quite some time despite my following up several times. However, once I managed to get in touch with them, they resolved the issue quickly, were apologetic, and reassured me that they would improve their lost-and-found procedures.

We stayed in the Radisson Blu in Bristol last weekend and had such a comfortable stay. We received a warm welcome on arrival, check in was seamless. Our room was on a premium floor and the view of the harbour was lovely, especially lit up at night. The room itself was spacious, impeccably clean and we slept amazingly on both nights. The location couldn’t be better, walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants. A special mention for Danya who looked after us and made the trip so easy and enjoyable, one we will remember for a long time. We are looking forward to returning again soon! Thanks so much!

Stayed with work and got upgraded (possibly because I stayed in a London Radisson Blu the week before). Very large room, big bed, with great views overlooking the city. Had dressing gown, slippers, Nespresso machine etc. Bathroom had shampoo, conditioner, and body / hand wash. Breakfast was good (hot food buffet, yoghurt, fresh fruit, smoothies, pastries and cakes, cookies, cereals etc.). Good location
