Average and poor breakfast.
Pros:

Good location. However difficult to drop bags because of parking. Overnight parking a bit of way from hotel and expensive. Breakfast dried up ( bacon hard and eggs rubbery). It is not what the adverts say.

Not a good experience
Pros:

Very unhappy with the stay. Arrived after daughter graduation in Bristol no on-site parking have to stay in all night car park a mile away and pay for that privilege. We had no idea. Restaurant for breakfast was freezing as automatic glass doors kept flying open. Staff were very dismissive and rude. Reception took ages to answer phone when approaching the venue but we're polite whilst on site.

Worse premier Inn we have stayed in
Pros:

I normally love premier inn but this one is awful housekeeping obstruct the corridors with all there trolleys and rubbish blocking my wheelchair access and they decide to dump it all outside of a wheelchair accessible room! Room 207, awful for signal couldn't access my phone services and internet, premier Inn WiFi don't work. Such a shame as this premier inn has 3 reliable lifts and it is right next to the bus station which was ideal for us flying back from Alicante, staff were lovely but those 3 things are the only positives

Where we look first when in the UK
Pros:

I had never thought o staying at Premier Inn til some UK friends told us that's where they stay when in London. We tried one out and liked what we got. Nice sized room, comfortable bed, nice facilities, clean, nice price, nice restaurant when needed. And we've always found one in an excellent location. It gets the job done.
Now we always check for a Premier Inn when visiting the UK.
I guess it is a sign of the times, but the automated reception experience feels a bit like talking to someone who'd rather be on their phone than talking in person.

Premier Inn not like it use to be…. Cleanliness is a major issue… sheets get changed but that’s about it
Pros:

Rooms were tatty and dusty. Net curtain was badly creased and had holes in it.
Towels were grey and like concrete… I asked for some newer ones but that was the best they had!
Check in staff were miserable and not welcoming at all….

Relaxing and enjoyable
Pros:

ideal central location, especially for the Beacon Centre with its varied concerts, also shops close by to browse. Great choice of restaurants. Only downside is the check-in-time is 3pm unless you want to pay £15.00 more

Spot on service
Pros:

I’ve been travelling staying in premier inns for many years. I can honestly say Joe and Aurelia are a massive credit to the hotel and company. Always service with a smile and friendly. When in Bristol this my hotel of choice.

Take your coat, hat and scarf!
Pros:

Take you coat hat and scarf as the rooms are freezing. Also check the bed on arrival as they get a lot of use and also check for questionable stains on furniture!

Excellent choice for a stay in the centre
Pros:

This was our 3rd time staying at this hotel and it was perfect.

We were able to check in at 3pm, and were in room 301. There are 3 floors in the hotel.

We had a standard room which was huge. A wardrobe for storage and separate hooks by the door for coats etc. There was a kettle and tea and coffee (you can also help yourselves to more supplies at reception).

The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfy. Our bathroom had a bath with a rain shower which was good and powerful. We also had a window that we could actually open which helped to get fresh air in. Housekeeping isn't generally done for a short stay but you can request it if needed, and you can get more towels at reception if you need them.

All the staff we met were welcoming and friendly, and on our last day they had a little pot of sweets, chocolate and biscuits at reception which was a thoughtful touch.

The hotel is in a fantastic area, just round the corner from pubs on King Street and a few minutes walk to the harbourside or St Nicholas market. We also found it convenient to get the airport bus as the stop near Queens Square was less than 10 minutes walk away.

A excellent choice, would stay again.

Excellent 1 night stay in a family room.
Pros:

Excellent 1 night stay in a family room.
The room was clean and comfortable.
Nice bar/restaurant area - serving decent food and drink..

Only gripe is the "machine-self-checkin" is too time consuming, with too many unnecessary details to enter. -- much quicker just to get the keycard from the reception desk.

Room stunk of cannabis, staff attitude stunk
Pros:

Long dtory short. Room not available 2 hours after check in. Manager opened up a closed room and advised staff to close for 3 days after we left. We arrived to find it stinking of cannabis. Back to manager who claimed its the first he's heard of thr issue. Another room then offered. This one was fine but no towels, back to reception where to original staff member advised that they all knew about first room issue and that the manager lied to us. Room issues happen, but no reason for manager to lie to a direct question from a guest.
