Pros:

The room was fantastic. We stayed before an early morning flight. We had food which was excellent and then a few drinks. In the morning (3am) we had a choice of pastries, toast, fruit and drinks. Would highly recommend. Staff were lovely even though it was a really busy Sunday.

Perfect for a stay near Bristol Airport
Pros:

The George is in the perfect location for Bristol airport. It’s much more cozy than a normal airport hotel. The room we had (Best) was small but had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s very clean with a good shower. We enjoyed an excellent roast dinner in the restaurant. The staff working were all lovely and friendly (with the exception one one slightly older gentleman with a beard who was not so welcoming). The continental breakfast was an nice extra.

Cons:

As a light sleeper I heard people leaving for the airport in the early morning and there is some traffic noise but that’s the price you pay for the convenient location.

The staff were friendly and spot on in every way and the food was delicious.

Cons:

A tad loud after 10 but only because we had a very early flight.

It was quiet because the pub was closed for staff training.
Great facilities and breakfast is available at all hours.
