A little noisy due to being on a busy road. Ideal for the station, it is within walking distance of the city centre if your up to the walk

Good value for money. I wouldn't probably stay here for a long trip, but for a couple of days it's perfect. Staff is very polite and helpful. We were able to leave our luggage for free before the check-in and after check-out. Breakfast is rather generous and versatile, not everything is delicious but you can easily find what you like. We were concerned that the hotel is on a busy street but we did not hear any traffic noise.

Good value.

One night stay. Friendly welcome by the young lady on reception. Clean room. A little too hot but fortunately the window opened a little. We had a room at the back so very quiet. Free breakfast. Good value.

Location of the Holiday Inn Express, Bristol

Our stay at the Holiday Inn Express was good and we would stay there again due to the location - close to the railway station and airport bus.
