“great rooms, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Stayed here for a Christmas party in December - the food was average but the rooms and the overall hotel was great - big rooms with a nice old world luxury feel. The bar was also great for a few drinks but other than the party food which is often average for Christmas parties , I cannot speak for the food in the main part of the hotel
Would defintely stay again for the rooms and location.

“Good location, nice room, service could have been better”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Pretty good. Room was nice, great shower, TV facilities good, comfortable bed. Location would be good to explore the city, but I was on business! Staff were OK, but failed to mention that breakfast was not included in the room rate. Wasn't mentioned at breakfast either. £17.50 is on the expensive side, and when I questioned this at checkout, didn't even get an apology. Will probably try another hotel when I return.

“Perfect location, good value for money, friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

I had not prevusly visited Bristol, so i was not sure where to stay. I was supposed to go to a conference in the Watershed conference centre, so College Green looked pretty close. I arrived late but found the Hotel quite fast. Parked my rental in the Garage and checked in. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. I got a room very close to the Lobby and restaurant. The Gym was relatively well equipped and the best of all was the Pool. Almost like a Roman Bath. Brekfast was also nice, but way too expensive. Next time i'll bundle it with my room rate ( so i won't see it and get upset). When i checked out i made an error that the staff at the front desk corrected quickly. I tried to pay my parking fee in the machine. 105 GBP!!!! I ended up paying just 25 GBP.

Room Tip: Rooms on the Lobby floor was nice (start with 8xx)

“Excellent location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

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.
