This place is a real gem. Only a short walk from the city centre. Tracy was warm, friendly and welcoming. The place was absolutely spotless and very comfortable. I specifically loved some of the little touches like the lollipops in the hall way, the treats in the rooms and the coffee machines in the kitchens. This place is not only real great value for money, it’s just got a lovely friendly atmosphere. Would 100% recommend and happily visit again. Thank you for a great stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at Southville. My room was comfortable, clean and quiet. The guest house is on a leafy street with a nice stroll along the river to get into the city. Tracy is very friendly and welcoming and theres a good selection of self service breakfast.

1) Tracy was a lovely host, very friendly and welcoming. The snacks left for us in the room were one amongst many extra touches that added to what was an excellent experience. 2) The guest house was very clean and well maintained, including communal areas. 3) The breakfast was well stocked with a variety of options, including cereals/pastries/fruits/juice/milk/coffee etc. 4) Even with the closed (as of writing) Gaol Ferry Bridge, by car the city centre is only a relatively short distance. All in all, we had a fantastic experience at the Southville Guest House, and I would definitely recommend staying here when you visit the city!

I've been travelling to and from Bristol for work over the last few months and have stayed at the Southville Guest House on every occasion. It is perfectly suited to my needs, well priced, convenient location and Tracy is an excellent and very welcoming host. Highly recommend for solo visitors in town for a few days at a time or duos and small families looking for a stopover while exploring Bristol.

I had a lovely stay and Tracy is the nicest host! Her guest house is cosy and comfortable, spotless clean, very well organised and at a walking distance from the city centre. Tracy is lovely: helpful, relaxed and caring; she gave me plenty of advice on things to do in Bristol. I loved the self -serving breakfast for its flexible times and the ample choice of food and drinks in an equipped kitchen where you feel at home. Would recommend Southville Guest house to everybody: families, friends and solo!

Lovely stay at Southville Guest House with my two children. The room was comfortable with everything we needed and Tracy was welcoming and helpful. The location is really handy for walking into central Bristol and it was easy to park our car in a paid-for parking bay. Great selection at breakfast too. I would definitely stay here again.

lovely room, well located, well managed guest house, fair price I have found the perfect place to stay at Southwell Guest House! Lovely, well equipped room with a huge clean bathroom and a comfortable shared kitchen. The host Tracy is wonderful, providing breakfast, snacks and advice in abundance. Alternative breakfast dishes, vegan and gluten free were also offered, so I give this place extra credit! The guest house is located in a nice quiet area. The way to the city center is quite short, because not far from the pension there is a small ferry that takes you cheaply and quickly directly to the city center. All in all wonderful place to stay in Bristol, that I can definitely recommend to everyone!

Amazing host, perfect room, great breakfast and everything was just as I wanted it. Was in Bristol working and it was perfect for what I needed, tea and coffee in the room is good also. Tracy is a very knowledgable host and really cares about her guests - she directed me around and make sure I was comfortable at all times.
