Worth the money. The whole experience was top notch. From checking in to the gym, the restaurant and breakfast. Ok you have to pay to park but it’s not expensive and is convenient. They say 24hours but it ran up to midnight after we checked out so gave us the day to shop.

A really nice Hotel with excellent staff overall. The bar staff are really good and knowledgeable with cocktails and drinks and nothing was too much trouble. We didn't eat in the restaurant apart from breakfast and as a group of eight wanted to sit as a group in the morning and despite requesting this the day we got a lot of frowning, reluctance and "huffiness" from one particular staff member, so we just moved table together ourselves and had a nice breakfast!

Great location. Staff were fabulous. My husband wanted to change the room and they were very accommodating. Car parking was easy and again staff were very helpful. Breakfast was a treat and the staff in the dining room were very attentive. I will definitely book again and recommend. All the comfort in old fashioned British style.

Friendly welcoming to the hotel, clean tidy reception area, miller and carter on site with nice bar area. Room clean and tidy. Comfortable bed. Great access to the city centre all within walking distance allowing the car to be left in the car park below the hotel, however limited security within the car park, sadly our car was ransacked during our stay :( only to be discovered upon leaving the hotel, unfortunately we were not the only ones at the desk at this time reporting this. Upon reporting this to reception they were apologetic and I was informed this wasn’t the first time recently therefore I would suggest if you are parking here to remove anything and everything from your vehicles!! - the car was locked when we left it luckily for us nothing of value was actually inside. We would stay here again but maybe get the train to avoid concern.

The room door was left open and on the latch by housekeeping for multiple hours, when I returned after 6 hours walking around Bristol. Complained to the front desk livid, but nobody seemed to care. Zero apology, zero recognition of their mistake, and zero understanding of the security implications. I was told they thought they knew who had done it from housekeeping and they would get back to me with an explanation. Still waiting 7 days later.

8/3/23 2;15. Upon booking in the reception staff were both polite and very helpful, especially it being our first time at the Royal Hotel. We were informed of the car parking and how we could get to our room. The room was very clean and tidy and a nice touch on the TV was our details and bill info. We attended 50th birthday party and the food that we all ordered was exceptional value to money but above up the quality of the food was first class. Everyone who attended all remarked how good the food was. The stay at the Royal hotel Bristol will be go down as one of the best hotels we have stayed in the UK.

I booked this hotel for a weekend stay, whilst I was attending a HiFi show in the city. I had left it a little late to book accommodation, but I am pleased to say that my stay at this hotel was fabulous. The room was very comfortable and spacious with an excellent shower room. The Miller and Carter restaurant was very busy on the night, but despite travelling on my own they managed to find me a table. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I would definitely stay at the hotel again, the next time I am in Bristol, and would definitely stay in a Marriott hotel again in the future, if this is an example of what to expect.

Hotel ambience on entrance is lovely. Very grand reception area. Lots of good points noted throughout the stay and the staff are welcoming, friendly and attentive. A few improvements.... Breakfast is a bun fight (quite literally). Greeted by a friendly person, but I think long hair should be tied back when working in or around food delivery areas. There's no system in place or order to breakfast stations so it's full of people going back and forward and clamouring for their choices. A one way system or signage would help this. For instance there are plates at either end of the hot servery which is confusing. Sauces available at one end only which is awkward. The bowls for breakfast cereal and yogurt having been recently washed were roasting hot. The shower screen did not close properly which meant a lake of water on the bathroom floor every day. I can see other people have commented on this as well so I think it's a general issue with a lot of the rooms! I tried to hold the shower screen in when having a shower but it's not really a sustainable solution....I also had to use towels to mop up the water on the floor. Conditioner bottle in shower empty and needed refilling. A lovely hotel which with a few tweaks would be even better.
