Very nice, descent, and value for your money, affordable and you can't beat how close this is from the Temple Meads Station. I see a few complaints from people about the complimentary breakfast, and I don't understand why, we are on a tour through UK and this is by far the best breakfast we've gotten, we filled ourselves so well that we didn't have to eat anything else the rest of the day, giving us time to do more stuff... Staff was very friendly specially Amber's helpful information about safety, which she gave to my wife. I would definitely stay again if I need to be in Bristol.

The Holiday Inn Express, Temple Meads, Bristol is a short walk from the station which was a real bonus to us, having travelled on the train from Cornwall. I thought the price we paid was excellent value for money especially as it included breakfast. The breakfast was very good. The food was hot. The bacon and sausages were extremely good and tasty. We were given late checkout which was very good for us as we were flying out to Tenerife and our flight wasn't until 4pm. The staff were very good especially Bethany on reception who was extremely helpful and friendly. We will definitely stay here again.
