Brooks Guesthouse Bristol

The staff were very polite and helpful, and for location this place is spot on, right in the city centre. You can book rooms or hire one of three Airstream vans in different sizes on the roof. But there isn't parking at the property, so you'd need to find a nearby street space and pay, or use a multi-storey car park and factor that into the cost. We stayed in an Airstream and it was bloody freezing. The owners provide a small fan heater, but it's very loud if left on too long. The radiator wouldn't stay on, and we couldn't work out how to keep it running. We told the staff. There's no fridge in the Airstream, but it does have a kettle and tea. Another big thing to know is the noise. Nearby pubs and music venues mean loud music carried on until after 2am. The accommodation staff can't control that, but it makes an early night or a quiet sleep difficult. If none of that bothers you, the location is great.

At £160 a night, this felt like basic accommodation dressed up as boujee. The doors were dusty, the towels had hairs on them, and the staff offered only the most basic information, barely saying a word. The central location is great, but the room felt cramped, and the decor made it seem smaller still. It was hot, with windows opening onto two deafening nightclubs that stayed open until 2am.

The guest house is excellent, the food was great, and the staff couldn't do enough for us. It's perfectly placed for exploring on foot, and we'd definitely stay again. We only knocked off a star because we chose the smallest caravan. The shower was great, but the sink was tiny and there was hardly room to squeeze past to the toilet. Otherwise, the caravan suited us perfectly. Thank you!

The room was warm and very comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, cooked fresh and hot while you waited. I'd definitely stay again.
