All our family came to Bristol from all over Europe for an extremely important celebration recently. Some of the family stayed at the Arches House on Cotham Brow. The owners, Francois & Wendy, were friendly even when we over-slept! It was refreshing not be chased out of our rooms early on a Sunday morning. The rooms were fair & reasonably... More

I was looking for a quiet B+B close to the venue of the British Masters Weightlifting championships 2013 and at a distance of 1 mile this hotel looked an ideal choice. I was greeted very warmly when I arrived on Friday 22nd March after a 190 mile journey. The room I was given was large having a double and single... More

Very friendly and warm welcome. Clean but old fashioned room worth very small ensuite. Great for us as we were going to a party locally so could walk. Very nicely presented continental breakfast that catered for many dietary requirements.

Stayed here very recently. Would highly recommend it. Cosy and warm. Very jovial and friendly, helpful owners. Good free WiFi all over and a great location, being very close to the centre. Very close to loads of shops and restaurants. Parking right outside.

Incredibly friendly and helpful couple run this place located near town but on a quite road off Gloucester road. The breakfast was big and catered for gluten and daily free. The room was large and had good facilities and was cleaned daily. I enjoyed my stay very much.

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
