The upper-middle-range, 182-room Grand Hotel is a Bristol landmark, occupying a 150-year-old heritage building across from the Law Courts. It's in the heart of the city, but the area has a historic rather than touristy ambience. Interiors are contemporary, however original details remain such as the cast-iron metalwork at the entrance and small-paned windows. Still, some of the areas have begun to show wear and tear. (Renovations to address this kicked off in 2016.) The hotel has an on-site restaurant and cellar bar, while the pool and fitness center are in another building next door. Other perks include free Wi-Fi, on-site meeting rooms, and indoor paid parking. Past guests have complained about slow elevators and poor soundproofing. Travelers could also consider the Mercure Bristol Holland House Hotel, which has an on-site pool and fitness center.

Brooks Guesthouse is a mid-range boutique hotel with a fun retro vibe located right next to the lively St. Nicholas Market in the center of Bristol. The 23 guest rooms run small and are sparsely furnished, but are clean and comfortable overall, save for a few signs of wear and tear. The Rocket Rooms are actually vintage-style camper trailers parked on the hotel's roof, but come equipped with all the comforts. Wi-Fi is free while breakfast is charged extra -- but it's pretty cheap if booked via the hotel website. The garden courtyard offers a place for guests to relax outdoors with a drink from the honesty bar. On the downside, noise from nearby bars is an issue, and there's no parking. For a property with more features, including a mini gym, travelers could consider the Holiday Inn Bristol City Centre.

The Mercure Bristol Brigstow Hotel is a 116-room, upper-middle-range property located on the Welsh Back waterfront in the center of Bristol, within easy walking distance of attractions. While most rooms are far from spacious, decor is chic and modern -- if a little worn in places -- with impressive amenities that include bathtub TVs. The only public space beyond the lobby is a small bar-restaurant, which offers a relaxed vibe and pleasant river views. This is one of the top choices in the price range for the location, though the Holiday Inn Bristol City Centre is also worth considering.
