Curtains to bedroom were poor . As an old building not easy to negotiate stairs to room. Quirky and different having stayed before but prices have increased significantly

Welcoming small hotel
Short, single night stay - very welcoming, good buzz with a Christmas party in full swing. Although not the biggest room - mine was comfortable and quirky.

Convenient overnight stay
We found this hotel situated conveniently for shopping areas in the centre of Bristol. The hotel didn't have a manned reception desk, but had a secure access tag system. Our room was cold when we arrived and we had to ask reception to turn on the heating remotely, similarly the television only worked properly if you could stream what you wanted to watch from your own mobile device after logging in. The furnishings were comfortable and as you would expect in a hotel at this price point. Unfortunately we had to leave before breakfast was served so we cannot comment on that but I would like to add that all the staff we saw were helpful and friendly

Lovely comfortable quirky hotel.
Lovely accommodation. Great location easy to park outside on the street. A couple of details that would have made it better 1) immediately after check in pushed the lift call button and waited. The lift arrived and opened. Inside was woman with cleaning supplies listening to her headphones. She must have seen me waiting outside the opening door but she pushed the button to close the doors without saying a word and off went the lift! I had to take the stairs! Quite rude! 2) parking is convenient but it would be good if the hotel gave you info about local parking regulations. I parked in a bay on the share and paid via ru go until 9am the following day, presuming I could then extend if needed. At 8.50am the next day I tried to extend but had hit the max limit for parking in that bay/zone so I had to rush off and move the car around the corner!

Great Bristol Vibes
This is such a lovely hotel! Highly recommend. Just marred by silly details in service. You can't get in without ringing the door bell and it takes a while as they are all working in the bar (a bit much when it is raining hard!), the window had been wide open making the room really cold. The room itself though is lovely with everything you could think of to make it comfortable plus quirky extras. Food downstairs - very busy I don't know if you can pre-book but you need to really as I had to wait for a table. Cocktails are great, food choice a little limited but nice

Beautifully decorated property. In keeping with the arty history of the property! So central yet surprisingly quiet. What a find. It also has a well stocked mini bar and a lovely little restaurant attached. I Will absolutely be staying here again.

A perfect stay
This is our 3rd stay at Artist Residence, Bristol. We love everything about it - the rooms are super comfy & packed with everything you need for your stay. The interiors are just a dream! You don’t need to leave the hotel as the bar/restaurants are prefect for a cozy evening in or some drinks, but if you do it’s conveniently placed a 5 minute walk away from Cabot Circus or Stokes Croft.

A unique residence, with a very nice restaurant. Not the best for a business traveller as it was not easy to find, there was no parking, and access to the hotel was not easy.

My Happy Get Away
I enjoyed my stay enormously.The staff are relaxed friendly and approachable.The manager was available!!!And similarly helpful. A noisy evening event was initally a problem , but i was moved to a bigger quiet room as soon as possible. So 10/10 to everyone at Artist Residence in Bristol. Which incidently is gorgeous inside.

Unlikely to stay again :(
I enjoyed my stay and the room was very cosy. However, I didn’t appreciate my partner (as it was his number listed in Hotels.com) getting a phone call at 2130 rudely asking where I was as I had not turned up. This is despite me having fully paid for the room in advance and already having dropped my bag off at around midday earlier that day and told the man on reception that I was at a work event so would be back later this evening. I then received a worried phone call from my partner and felt I had to leave my work event early to make sure I was able to check in even though I was aware that check in was 24hours as stated on the website. For this reason I am unlikely to stay here again.

Such a gorgeous hotel! Lots of lovely things in a great old building … the room was very cosy and clean with lots of cool little decorations. Be mindful a lot of the stuff in the room you can be charged for so best to check the menu! Other than that there really was nothing to fault. Food was nice and so were staff.
Our lovely room!

El hotel nos encantó. Sin embargo, la habitación era muy muy pequeña y la cortina estaba rota por lo que entraba toda la luz. El personal por otro lado nos decepcionó ya que le tiró sin querer un plato con grasa a mi pareja y tardaron mucho en servirnos, tanto en el desayuno como en la copa que tomamos por la tarde.
