Bristol Grand Hotel By Sunday
Stayed for one night , was ideal close to shopping and bars. The hotels bed itself was ok but the pillows were paper thin and the bed was on wheels so you could feel yourself moving whilst leaning against the headboard but apart from this we had a peasant stay

Apex City of Bath Hotel
Great location, lovely rooms, excellent pool area. Breakfast was perfect. Beds a bit on the firm side and that’s the only reason I haven’t given 5 stars. Would stay again.
