Hotels near The Kendleshire in Bristol

One of the best hotels to stay in Bristol and it was the best and it was near to the railway station and east access to all places to visit by walk or taking local transport.. I would recommend it if you are are coming as family and group of friends this hotel is best.

Have used this hotel many times in the past when seeing a show in the Hippodrome. It’s one of the few hotels in Bristol with a decent car park on site (£12 per day). It’s a 15 minute walk to the Hippodrome and easily do able. Outside the hotel can be found some cafes and a pub. The hotel hasn’t really changed much over the years. The Novotel sign has worn off the front door but otherwise the interior is the same since I visited it a few years ago. The room (114) was at the rear of the hotel, clean, large comfy bed and most importantly it was quiet at night. Pillows were very hard however and a choice of pillow in the room would have been good. I also have to knock a star off because the staff at reception were not the most friendly. No conversation, no mention of belonging to the loyalty club, just all very formal. That’s not a problem if that’s what you like but a little more friendliness/warmth would of been nice. No one asked how our stay was when we left. Otherwise another lovely stay at this hotel.

A two night stay for two couples meeting at Bristol for a weekend getaway Stay could have been better in all areas Having not known what time we would arrive and not knowing the area we had pre-booked a table for evening meal at Chophouse the restaurant attached to the hotel, we thought this to be the easiest option. Very quiet in both the bar and restaurant area we expected a first class service … unfortunately not what we got! Cocktails took over 20 minutes to make which was really disappointing (they were nice enough when they finally arrived) We went through to the restaurant offered a set menu and normal menu Two chops were ordered from the set menu which ironically (chophouse) were not available a burger and fish off the main menu were also ordered, the fish resembling a sprat was quite disappointing, the burger was good - thank goodness the company was fantastic as the food didn’t surpass much more than ok. Having experienced the evening bar and the slow service well the breakfast experience downstairs was something else!! 2 mornings for breakfast quite a contrast too, Saturday morning was quite good, everything was available, cereal, juices, selection of breads, pots of yogurt and granola, smoked salmon and hot food we had breakfast at 9.00am, the restaurant Sunday we had breakfast at 9.30am, what a contrast, tables hadn’t been cleared (there were several empty and in this state) we cleared a table ourselves and had to request for a waitress to clean and wipe the table down. Where we had placed the previous used plates and cups , were left there and not cleared by the waitress. We went to the service area and it was a nightmare; throughout the time we were there the service was poor with lack of food displays and lack of cutlery and bowls, there was just chaos and what seemed like one guy working and trying to keep the place moving. In contrast to the day before, juices were running out, no available cereal bowls, no bread for toasting, no yoghurt granolas, at one point no mugs or glasses to drink from and the hot food ran out with something constantly being waited on. There were two waitresses that were a waste of time, they needed to be managed and to be productive, they had no idea about offering great service …. When we commented to the guy about being busy he said this is nothing 😳 The room was on the first floor at the rear, quiet and a comfortable bed. However, the door didn’t shut properly and had to be pulled / pushed hard to ensure was shut. The bathroom was ok however the shower tray filled and you were standing in water that took an eternity to drain away

Last month we stayed in the Premier Inn 100 yds down the road from the Hampton and boy the hotels are like chalk and cheese with the Hampton winning hands down. Reception brighter with plenty of cheerful receptionists to check you in. Rooms are well laid out with everything you need including a safe, fridge, hair drier and iron. Lovely big walk in shower with plenty of toiletries to hand and lovely fluffy towels and believe it or not flannels. Two sets are laid out in the bathroom ready for use. We had a twin room and found the beds to be larger than an average single bed, very comfortable and lovely bed linen. The TV on the wall is huge with plenty of channels to keep you entertained. Wifi is free. As for the breakfast well we found plenty of choice - sausages, mushrooms, beans, hash browns and scrambled egg. There was toast, croissants and muffins, fresh fruit, cold meats and cheese and I also spied pots of Oats so Simple you could make up and a waffle maker which was very popular. Given that this was included in the price (unlike the competitor where you have to pay an additional £9.50 for breakfast) we found it was a good enough start to our day. Location is great with the only downside, as with most city hotels, there is no on site parking. Quids cheaper than the competitor when we booked what is not to like?

It happened that I went to find friends during the Spring Festival and stayed in this motel. This is the first time I live in a motel, it feels great and convenient, there is free parking, the decoration is also very new, and the service industry is very good. The American restaurant downstairs is also delicious.

Comfy well cleaned room and bathroom. Lacks a fridge which would have been welcome. Decent gym and the swimming pool is a great way to stay active away from home. Staff all good and seem well trained and personable Restaurant is poor for choice, quality and expensive- just parted with nearly £6 for a pint followed by £17 for a risotto which had nearly zero flavour served so fast it must’ve been microwaved. Breakfasts are good with decent hot and cold choice

In all honesty when I booked this hotel I didn’t expect much. I was looking for somewhere to lay my head off the M5 before travelling to wales in the morning. For £80 (which was very reasonable for a Saturday night and comparative to other hotels in the area) I thought I’d take a chance. Easily better than a travel lodge or holiday inn - very tastefully decorated, warm and clean. Two small issues: we arrived after 10pm & as they do not operate 24hr checkin the place was locked down like fort knots (reassuring but irritating) and the black sheep was closed. I had rang earlier in the day and sent an email but had no response/reply however I had luckily found in the small print of booking.com about checking in over the road at the Aztec - this was pain free and the receptionist very helpful! Secondly, it is quite noising on the hallway - more at fault of our unfortunate neighbours being rowdy although road noise is minimal. Would recommend bringing ear plugs to be on the safe side if a light sleeper but otherwise spot on and still 5* based on price!

The hotel is very historical and very old. Sitting in the banquet hall, ordering a glass of brandy and listening to classical music is very sensational. Stayed in the Elizabeth Suite, in the three-story attic, it was not as good as I thought. There are a few wood piles in the middle of the room, it feels weird! Both the entrance and exit of the bathroom had to bow and the door was short. The key is that there is no elevator, you need to move your luggage to climb the building! The stairs are very narrow, or the ones that turn in circles. The steps are stones that are polished. Although the front desk lady asked me at CHECK IN, do I need to carry the baggage for you? But I feel that I am still not used to trouble them. The breakfast is very good, there are many types, and you can order some meals. In short, I feel that the price is not high, which is the lower ranking of the hotel in this hotel.

My partner and I have just returned from a very enjoyable weekend in Bristol(19th-21st Aug). We stayed here back in July this year so decided to return. We recommended the hotel to two friends who came and stayed there as well. We had room 213 which is at the back of the building but as we only needed the room to rest it didn't matter. The room was clean and very comfortable with a good shower. Check in was simple and the staff were very pleasant. We like the idea of the hotel having its own ironing room which we used whilst there. We used the bar on the Friday night when we returned to the hotel, Two double Hendrick gins and a mixer was nearly £20.00 ! But I suppose that's city prices for you. We are looking forward to returning in October for another enjoyable time. Thankyou to you all at Ibis Temple Quay.

Great location just by Temple Mead Station and a short walk to the 'bright lights of Bristol' Staff are very helpful especially the gentleman behind the front desk who helped us get a taxi on the 'wet' graduation day. Staff at the bar especially the young lady who put in the hours there were very personable and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and freshly cooked. Highly recommend this mid priced hotel
