Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel

I think this may be the only hotel in Bristol I'll stay in now! Beautifully decorated, super friendly and smiley staff who immediately stopped conversation with co-workers the minute we appeared which made us feel special! The room is big, the shower and bath too! The water pressure on the main shower wasn't great but the hand held one was fantastic. We had a plug malfunction, thought we were just being stupid but reception were fantastic in making sure we didn't feel silly & immediately sent maintenance up and less than half an hour later we had a new plug for the bath! We didn't have enough pillows but they were more than happy to accommodate and send more (but that's personal preference, you get your standard 2 pillows per person). Now, the breakfast...yes, it's your standard buffet BUT they have so many gluten free & dairy free/vegan options which was wonderful for my friend, instead of sticking to just fruit she could have a lot...including coffee with plant based milk!!! We were really really impressed & 100% recommend staying here - plus the streets outside are quiet so that's a bonus!

The hotel made our Pride weekend extra special! Staff were incredibly warm and helpful — huge thanks to Kai, who was not only professional and calming but genuinely kind in every interaction. He went out of his way to reassure me after I broke a glass, and made sure I had safe gluten-free options at breakfast due to my coeliac condition. Ioan and Griffin at the bar were also fantastic — fun, friendly, and made us feel like stars. The air conditioning was a total lifesaver during the 34°C heat, and my upgraded room was bright, comfortable, and spotless with a lovely bath. Couldn’t have asked for a better base for the weekend

From my arrival to my departure I was met with a wonderful warm welcome from the very professional staff at the Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel ...thank you for making my Christmas stay so memorable ... Lewis, Juan, David, Gabby, Jhanelle, Malik, Kapil, Crissy, Naadiya, Maks, Hagir, Junmoni, Helene, Paula, Armani and Chris . Take note how well dressed the reception staff are 👍. .

The hotel is nice, clean and the staff are friendly. The bar area is really nice too. The location is fantastic. We were able to leave our bags at midday and come back to check in later. Check in was easy and straightforward. The rooms were well signposted.

The staff was incredibly friendly and I appreciated the option to leave my luggage in the locker room after my check-out. I also loved the bar and the quality of the service there. Great music and atmosphere too. Very clean room and the style reflects Bristol brilliantly.
