I went to a wedding in Bristol and was able to book a room here at the last minute probably due to undeserved poor reviews. When I arrived I explained that my sister was ill and couldn't come so the owner reduced the charge to a single tariff. How kind. When I explained that I was late for the wedding... More

Arches is a basic B&B Hotel. The owners are lovely. Rooms are clean and basic. Most rooms include your sink but the bathroom is down the hall. One bathroom has a toilet only, the other one has a shower and toilet. Seeing i was traveling with most of the people staying there, it was ok. The bathrooms are super clean... More

Never again. The room was swelteringly hot and the bright lights in the hallway left me unable to sleep. There was no-one around to whom I could complain and when I ventured downstairs in the morning I was no even asked how my night had been. Nor did I hear a "goodbye" when I left. The only redeeming feature was... More

The hotel is close to both Montpelier and Redlands stations and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby on Gloucester Road. I stayed here for 2 nights, in a single room with shared toilet/ shower. The room was clean and airy and the bed was comfortable. The shared facilities were also clean- I was told they would only be... More

We had a reasonably sized room with good facilitites - nice, if small, shower and coffee/tea making in the room. Cotham Brow is a quiet road and although our room faced onto it we were not disturbed. The timing of breakfast was a bit restrictive for a Saturday (between 8am and 9am) but the continental breakfast itself was fine. The... More

The location isn't as central as it could be. About a 10/15 min walk from the centre of Bristol but this is a pleasant B & B. The rooms are clean and well kept, if a little dated decor-wise. And the continental breakfast was a little disappointing. Would stay there again though.

If you need to stay on the north side of Bristol, this is a great choice. Excellent location, near to numerous good restaurants in one of the most interesting and useful shopping areas in SW England. Bristol city centre is within walking distance and the hosts are great. A spotlessly clean place with good security - about as much as... More

From the moment you walk in the door you are made to feel welcome. I had been looking to make a saving for the company in the current climate and looked to stop using the local Marriot hotel. I was looking for a place that was in easy distance of the office but not too citified - The Arches hit... More

I regularly travel to Bristol and always stay at the Arches Hotel. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed and I always have a good nights sleep. There's a welcoming atmosphere and nothing's ever too much trouble. All in all it's excellent value for money and I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

It was really un expected surprise this cozy guest accomodation! I've travelled quite a thing along my life and seen lots of good and bad things; for example, I've already slept in a semi-bed (it's hard to explain) in the middle of Angola, long time ago! And I can assure that was definitely a very bizarre experience! Also, I've already... More
