The hotel has an excellent location with the modernised Waterfront area and Park Street near by offering shopping and restaurants. There is also an aquarium and hands on science centre with planetarium to keep the children happy literally on the doorstep. The rooms are decently sized and furnished, and there is a good spa, gym and swimming pool. There is parking within the hotel which is a bonus but I note that the Marriott has recently started charging residents for parking which is a bit off really. The restaurants are decent but expensive with the exception of afternoon tea which is not bad value. Unlike other reviews we cannot recommend the bar as the night we tried it the bartender didn't seem to know his cocktails and we were overcharged. If you can get a good rate, such as their winter specials, then its superb value.

We had a lovely weekend in Bristol, staying at College Green Marriott, well located in the middle of town with easy access to bars, shops and restaurants.

This is a very nice hotel with lots of character, a good spa pool, friendly staff etc.

The only let down, having paid extra for an upgrade to a superior room, was a mattress that must have been >10 years old with absolutely no support. For a hotel of this nature and given it was labelled 'superior' it is below par to have a bad nights sleep on a really bad mattress.

Please fix so others don't wake up with an equally bad back.

We only stayed one night but were impressed with the quality and high standards maintained throughout this beautiful Victorian hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the rooms were clean and nicely furnished. We would urge anyone to try at least one cocktail in the bar; the drinks are original and extremely tasty! Some are even made from fresh ingredients on the premises. We will definitely visit again.

We booked a table for the New Year's eve black tie party, and we were impressed with the general elegance of the hotel and party itself. The food was amazing, four courses which were delivered timely and the staff were very attentive to our requests. After the party we moved to the hotel bar, where we enjoyed another few drinks in the beautiful Drawing Room. All in all, a very tasty and tasteful evening! Would go back anytime, hopefully to get a room as well.
