Manx Mike's Reviews
With a prime location, comfortable rooms and easy access to Bristol's top attractions, Holiday Inn Express Bristol City Centre is an ideal choice for business and leisure trips.
Catch trains from Temple Meads station, opposite the hotel, or flights from Bristol Airport, a 20-minute drive away. The M4 and M5 motorways are nearby.
For a spot of retail therapy, shop the high-street stores at Cabot Circus, or wander around Bristol Shopping Quarter for designer brands and independent stores. Head to theatre shows at Bristol Hippodrome Theatre or cheer on your favourite bands at the O2 Academy Bristol, both two miles away.
Explore Bristol’s rich history with a trip to Clifton Suspension Bridge, the city’s most recognisable structure. Or head to the SS Great Britain, a beautifully preserved ship that played a significant role in maritime history.
After busy days exploring, relax in the comfort of the hotel. With handy conveniences free Wi-Fi, a TV and blackout curtains in your room, you’ll feel right at home. In the evenings, order pizzas and drinks from the bar.

Good nights sleep, although on one of Bristols busiest roads
Yes, I recommend this property.
Ideal for the main railway station, and only a short 10 minutes walk to either the city centre or harbour side. On many bus routes, so not having a car isn't a problem.
Rooms are very well sound proofed, and air conditioned, so guaranteeing a decent nights sleep.
Staff very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

A modern Belfast hotel near Queen's University Belfast with easy access to the Titanic Quarter and the city centre.

Great Location, Quiet Backstreet, Yet Near To Everything.
Ideal (and quiet) location in which to explore everything Belfast (and Northern Ireland) has to offer.
Easy walkable location from the main sights, (or indeed cheap taxi rides if that's your preference). Not far from both the Botanic Gardens and Botanic railway station, Rooms are a bit dated, but are airy and quiet. Staff are friendly and attentive, bar is well stocked, and for an Express, probably the BEST full Irish breakfast you'll ever have!! (Set's you up for a full days exploring). Evening meals are available on site, and if you want to eat out, then there are lots of choices within a 5-10 minute walk. Our 3 night stay here was extremely enjoyable. Would highly recommend staying here,.

Travel Tips:Botanic Avenue has lots of shops and resturants/bars to make your stay more enjoyable, and a short 5 minute walk from the hotel. Taxi's are cheap and easy to order/flag down. Game of Thrones tours are a great way to see the North and East, even if you are NOT a fan of the tv series.

Great nights sleep!
Yes, I recommend this property.
Typical Express style Holiday Inn near to Temple Meads railway station and only short walking distances to local shopping amenities and Cabot Circus, and local pubs and clubs. Handy for several bus routes linking to Cribbs Causeway, Bath and Lulsgate Airport. Hotel has all mod cons and for a city centre hotel, offers you a good nights sleep.

Ideal if you want to explore the environs of Bristol
Yes, I recommend this property.
IF you want to explore just Bristol, then I would use the Holiday Inn Bristol City Centre, as getting in and out of Bristol can be a nightmare if you are using your car, or indeed the busses, BUT if you are content with exploring what South Gloucestershire has to offer, then this would be the hotel for you. Also handy if needing a break on a long journey if using the M4/M5 Corridor.
Hotel is also handy for the Bristol Parkway railway station.
