Harbour Hotel Bristol

Good afternoon tea and spa, nice room but quite stuffy. Lack of ventilation as windows don't open. Shower doesn't drain well. Excellent location in close proximity to the interesting area. Especially good was the market. Something to note is that the hotel is popular with weddings so if you want to avoid a loud party downstairs avoid. It didn't bother us. Very interesting decor in an old bank. Good helpful staff

I stay in a lot of 4 and 5 star hotels because I’m lucky enough to travel as part of my business. This hotel stands out positively to me for a few simple reasons: the decor and building is full character yet comfortable, the room felt more like home than a generic hotel room and was super comfy and the service by staff was excellent; genuine and caring. Also, the breakfast menu was incredible and the chef delivered a wonderful spinach and ricotta soufflé omelette and had now issues accommodating by need for gluten free food due to coeliac disease. Altogether a superb experience. Can’t wait to come back!

We recently stayed at the Harbour Hotel & Spa in Bristol for our anniversary, and honestly, we were blown away. As a young couple in our early 20s who travel often, we sometimes find it daunting checking into higher-end hotels—sadly, not everywhere treats younger guests with the same warmth. But this stay completely exceeded our expectations.||From the moment we arrived, the staff were brilliant—welcoming, friendly, and genuinely attentive. A special shoutout to the lovely lady at reception (we wish we caught your name!) who made us feel at ease straight away and helped set the tone for a perfect stay.||To our surprise, we were given a complimentary upgrade for our special occasion, which was such a thoughtful touch. The room was stunning—spacious, stylish, and immaculately clean. We especially loved the large, comfy bed and the luxurious waterfall shower. The stocked mini bar (with a menu!), Nespresso machine, robes & slippers and complimentary gin and tonic were just the cherry on top!||While the hotel has a restaurant, bar, and spa facilities, we didn’t get to make use of them this time as we were too busy exploring sunny Bristol. But from what we saw, everything looked immaculate, and we’d definitely love to return for a longer stay to enjoy more of what the hotel has to offer.||Huge thanks to the entire team at Harbour Hotel Bristol—you made our anniversary unforgettable. We’ll absolutely be back!

Mixed experience this time. I’ve stayed here before and had a great experience, but this recent 2-night stay was disappointing. My room (252) was at the back of the property—decent size but felt neglected. The bedding didn’t fit properly, the mattress topper was too small, and there was some plastic debris in the bed. Still, the bed itself was comfortable. The room was noisy due to external machines and cold because of single-pane windows with only shutters—no curtains. The aircon helped, but slowly. The tea/coffee shelf was dusty, and the minibar fridge didn’t keep anything cold. The bathroom was spacious with double sinks, but the towel rack was loose and the shower screen was broken, causing water to flood the floor. There was visible rust and discoloration around the fittings. Room service was hit or miss—mac & cheese was tasty, but the chicken strips were odd and burnt-tasting, and the chocolate tart was too rich to eat. Breakfasts were excellent, and staff kindly provided takeaway boxes. Spa facilities were visually interesting (it’s in old vaults), but not very practical—tight spaces, many stairs, and unclear signage. The pool was warm but cramped, and the hot tub had one broken jet and confusing controls. Sauna and steam rooms were nice. Robes ran small, and spa hours (closing at 8pm) were limiting. I didn’t raise complaints due to the short stay but would have if I’d stayed longer. Despite the issues, I’d consider returning due to the great location, beautiful building, and lovely staff—but I’ll request a better room next time.

Hotel room as lovely, noise was terrible, bin men in the street at 6am making a loud noise for ages to be followed by street market stalls setting up. No chance of a sleep past 6am. Spa facilities good, pool and gym was very small, along with equipment broken and looking like it had been for a while. Checked in to the room no problem, only to be locked out if it when we return from our evening out. To be told they forgot to charge us and It was the hotels mistake. No phone call or email to say this just locked out our room. Having to deal with this after our evening out was very disappointing. Lucky we hadn't had to many drinks.

Amazing delicious afternoon tea with my friend. First to taste the new afternoon tea menu - lucky us! Too much to eat but took the leftovers home. Lovely service. Comfortable, calm and classy environment. Great value for £30 a head. Would certainly come again.

First time we have been here and I was looking for the perfect place to propose over a meal. The Harbour Hotel team were amazing, they called me to see what they could do to help make it perfect, and they gave us a beautiful table in the corner, as well as rose petals on the table and even made us a special will you marry me chocolate written plate with some desert bars on there. The Food we had was some of the nicest we have ever had, the fillet steak, peppercorn sauce and chips were outrageous, soooo good. ||The spa itself whilst small was really nice for us, there is a sauna, steam room, hot tub, and pool for a dip. It was great for what we wanted, though, nice chill out before our evening out. ||We had a junior suite, it was very comfy, the bed was like sleeping on a cloud, I need it for my house. ||The location is great, you can walk out the door and everything is just there, bars, restaurants etc ||Thank you again harbour hotel for making our special day perfect, we will be back next year to celebrate.

Excellent hotel to stay at. Friendly staff and clean room with lovely extra touches such as the gin in room. Bed very comfy and bathroom lovely and spacious.|We visited the restaurant and had an outstanding meal and excellent service from lovely staff - Fabio and Lottie were attentive and welcoming at both dinner and breakfast the next morning. Would highly recommend both the hotel and restaurant.

This is some hotel! It's 2 former banks in a prominent spot on Corn Street, smack in the centre of Bristol. It's quite new and you can tell - the service is exceptional, the kind of exceptional you only get from somewhere that's still trying their hardest to impress, with none of the cynicism apparent in many other longer established luxury hotels. The architecture is awesome - externally it's stunning, a period building that oozes style. Inside has been decorated beautifully. It's a bit of a warren inside, I got lost on the way back from the gym, and ended up on my floor, but the opposite side. But it adds to the character. The rooms are gorgeous, big comfy beds, quirky chairs and classic touches. My bathroom was clean and modern, and very roomy. The aforementioned gym is well stocked with very modern equipment. A bit warm with no aircon that I could feel, but it's in one of the old bank vaults which weren't designed to be cool I guess! The spa looked amazing too - I didn't use it but was seriously tempted. The jacuzzi looked like bliss and the people in it at the time had beaming smiles, so I assume they were having a good time. Yet to try the cocktail bar or restaurant - if I do I'll update the review! Overall impressions are great, I'll absolutely be coming back here when I'm next down on business (or pleasure...)

Comfortable, central, large rooms good service. Downside: walking bags through busy street market on arrival, awkward lift access, no parking so distant multistory is only option. Restaurant is good-- better than cafeteria decor suggests.
