Your stay in Bristol, in one conversation
Charlize builds hotels, activities and dining around your wishes, dates and budget.
Bristol is one of the UK's most vibrant cities, famous for its floating harbour, street art, independent food scene, and lively university culture. The good news for budget travellers is that the city has a healthy supply of well-rated 3-star hotels priced well below what you might expect in London or Edinburgh. From the waterside streets around Temple Meads to the leafy slopes of Clifton, affordable rooms are spread across several distinct neighbourhoods, giving you real flexibility on location without sacrificing comfort.
The cheapest options on this list start at 66€ per night at the ibis Bristol Temple Meads Quay, positioned right on the floating harbour and earning a strong 4.2/5 rating. A short walk away, the ibis Bristol Centre and the Premier Inn at Lewins Mead both sit at 68€ and match that same guest score. If you are willing to spend a little more, the Premier Inn Finzels Reach in Redcliffe climbs to 75€ but delivers the highest satisfaction rating on this list at 4.5/5, making it exceptional value for a city-centre address. Clifton, Bristol's most picturesque hillside neighbourhood, is represented by three properties between 76€ and 79€, ideal if you want boutique character alongside affordable pricing.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest hotel in Bristol right now?+
The ibis Bristol Temple Meads Quay is the lowest-priced option on this selection at 66€ per night. It sits beside Bristol's iconic floating harbour, carries a 3-star rating, and holds a 4.2/5 guest score, making it a strong pick for budget travellers who also want a great location.
Which Bristol neighbourhoods are best for budget hotel stays?+
Temple Meads and the city centre are the most practical areas for budget stays, with several 3-star hotels priced between 66€ and 75€ and easy access to public transport, the harbour, and central attractions. Redcliffe, just south of the centre, offers the Premier Inn Finzels Reach at 75€ with excellent reviews. Clifton is slightly pricier at 76€ to 79€ but gives you a quieter, scenic base with independent cafes and the famous suspension bridge nearby.
How can I pay less for a hotel in Bristol?+
Travelling midweek, particularly Tuesday to Thursday, tends to yield lower rates than weekends, when Bristol's bar and music scene draws visitors from across the region. Avoiding major events such as the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta in August or large concerts at Ashton Gate is also key. Booking directly through a hotel's own website or using a price-comparison tool a few weeks in advance rather than last-minute often unlocks the best available rates. Opting for a room without breakfast included can also shave a few euros off the nightly cost.
Is staying outside the city centre a good way to save money in Bristol?+
The Ramada by Wyndham Bristol West, located in Easton in Gordano to the west of the city, is priced at 70€ per night, which is competitive. However, its 3.9/5 rating is lower than comparably priced city-centre options, and you will need a car or regular bus connection to reach central Bristol. For most travellers, the small price difference versus a centrally located ibis or Premier Inn does not justify the added transport time and cost, so staying closer to the centre or Temple Meads tends to offer the best overall value.
