Guest Reviews
- George (10/5): - Really friendly staff, lovely room nice and clean amazing breakfast and really comfortable bed!
- David (8/5): - Room was clean but hot and air con didn’t work Everything else was lovely
- Leigh (10/5): Excellent stay, highly recommend - Great stay, offered us a stay at a reasonable price next time too due to the building work going on and our room natural light being blocked out by the scaffold
- Gary (8/5): Nice Hotel - Disappointed you can not open the windows
- Julie (8/5): - Amazing bed and pillows, and lovely room.
- Daniel (10/5): - Lovely hotel in the centre of Bristol. Very much enjoyed our night.
- Rich (10/5): Quality hotel for a quick city break - From the moment we arrived the staff was amazing , we checked in early as going to a festival. Amazing staff , good quality room as they always are. Came back in evening had a drink in the bar, friendly staff and great service, breakfast the next morning was really nice , all fresher cooked and great selection
- Susan (8/5): - Friendly and helpful staff. Small room but beautifully furnished. Nice bar.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Everything is nice, but big inconvenience to fix - The bathroom needs more thinking: couldn't get to the shampoo/conditioner whilst having bath (had to get out of the bath tub naked and walk around to get some shampoo and repeat!). The bathroom floor got easily flooded due to the water overflow from the bath tub or shower splash - a major risk for slipping. The bathroom doors had too much glass - another major risk of injuries when going to toilet half-asleep. Final point: my original room didn't have a desk - a major issue for business travellers!
- Deborah (10/5): - Lovely stay. Staff couldn’t have been nicer. We were treated like VIPs - even our dog got his own bowls, bed and goodie bag. The hotel is in a beautiful old building but with great modern comforts (air-con especially welcome during the recent heatwave). The Classic room we stayed in was huge as was the bathroom. All in all a great stay. Thank you!
- Michael (10/5): Coming back for a holiday - Amazing and quite good value for money for an upmarket hotel
- Catherine (10/5): - Our stay was great. The hotel is super central and the room was lovely.
- John (10/5): - Excellent hotel and staff. Great service and food.
- Jessamine (10/5): Amazing hotel! - Very comfortable king-size bed, pillows, and linens. Roll top bath and shower in a huge bathroom. Great toiletries and other amenities such as bottles of spring water. The food was very good, especially the breakfast. Everything was perfect and everyone was friendly. Even my nine year old was raving about it!
- Owain (10/5): - Smooth check in. Excellent stylish room. Would definitely stay again.
- Julia (10/5): - Lovely, well-run hotel. Trendy bedrooms. My only complaint would be that the alleyway needs a good clean.
- Gillian (10/5): Wonderful Stay - We stayed in Hotel du Vin for one night celebrating my birthday. We couldn’t have chosen a nicer hotel - we were so well looked after. The staff are extremely friendly and efficient, the amenities are great - everything you’d expect from Hotel du Vin. We thoroughly recommend this hotel.
- Gary (10/5): Excellent hotel - Excellent hotel
- christine (8/5): - I enjoyed the upgraded bedroom, large and light. Nice toiletries. Comfortable bar area.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Comfortable, spacious, well designed rooms! Friendly and helpful staff! 5/5 would recommend
- Anne (10/5): - Very convenient location, very spacious bedroom. The bathroom of our Deluxe room was amazing (bath and shower). Nicely decorated, lots of charm to stay in this historic building. Beautiful breakfast room. The breakfast suited our needs but some could miss the cold cuts.
- lewis (10/5): - Friendly and professional staff. Clean, spacious and comfortable rooms. Great Central location. Highly recommend A++
- Roderick (8/5): - Good
- Louise (10/5): - Live staying at this hotel, I sleep so well!
- Ian (10/5): - We stayed for four nights, our first time in Bristol. The hotel was a choice we would happily make again. The location was very good, being central and easily accessed (we travelled there by train; I imagine a car would be an encumbrance. The room was spacious and clean and the staff were very helpful. We ate one evening meal in the hotel bistro, which was good and reasonably priced. Our breakfasts were excellent - especially to be commended was that they were able to provide very good choice and care for the one of us who has Coeliac disease.
- Matthew (10/5): - lovely hotel - great location
- Nicola (10/5): - The accommodation was excellent. However, staff were not welcoming or helpful. In fact they did not look up from the desk except during check in.
- Katherine (10/5): A night of luxury! - Fantastic hotel, perfectly location for a night out in Bristol town centre. Wonderful room and the roll top bath was very decadent!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Pleasant as usual….I’m becoming a regular there
- Becky (8/5): - Everything was lovely. It was very noisy outside from 5am so the windows weren’t overly effective.
- Adrianus Jos (10/5): - Excellent and very comfortable, great location. A true 5 star experience
- Catherine (10/5): - Great location and wonderful room
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely stay - Beautifully decorated room with a surprisingly large bathroom. We had a lovely stay and the coffee in the room was much better than the usual instant stuff.
- Louise (10/5): - Amazing hotel, I slept like a baby
- Angela (10/5): - Fantastic hotel and staff. Thank you.
- Lucy (10/5): - Parking was expensive but very convenient. Bar was great. Breakfast was great. Room was great especially the bathroom.
- Ruth (10/5): Great two night stay - Very impressed with Hotel du Vin. The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious and very comfortable - perhaps the lighting could have been less subdued.
- Celeste (6/5): It’s ok! - Overall, my stay at Hotel du Vin in Bristol was quite pleasant. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, and the staff were accommodating when I requested a twin room. The charming courtyard adds a lovely touch, and it’s easy to get dropped off or park with its driveway, even though it’s located on a main road. The bathtubs are spacious and lovely, and the bathrooms are definitely the highlight of the room. Some downsides: the rooms are incredibly dark. The lighting could definitely be improved. Additionally, some rooms are really close to an office, meaning you can see them and they can see you. You could close the curtains, but with the already dim lighting, that only adds to the lack of brightness. The staff seemed largely devoid of personality or banter. It’s possible this is just the direction from management, but it would’ve been nice to see more warmth. Also, their luggage storage isn’t secured, which feels a bit concerning. It’s a solid stay, but a few tweaks would improve the overall experience.
- Clare (10/5): - I love this hotel, the rooms are always so comfy, the bar is great & it's a very central location
- anthony (10/5): - Lovely quaint old hotel Great staff
- Andy (10/5): A great hotel in the centre of Bristol - The half board rate offered really good value for money.
- Gary (10/5): Brilliant Hotel - Brilliant Hotel
- jane (10/5): Perfect 5* - Everything about this hotel was wonderful. from the location, building, decor, staff and service, we just couldnt fault it. Somuch so we are booking our wedding there. Absolutely love the place

- Bryan (10/5): - .
- Louise (10/5): - Lovely room and great food, the bathroom was also fabulous!!
- Donna (10/5): Outstanding Hotel - Lovely clean, upmarket and cosy hotel, would 100% stay here again. Central location. Staff really friendly, cannot fault it at all.
- Allan (10/5): Brilliant - Blown away by our recent stay here. The family suite was beautiful and the restaurant service and food was amazing
- Edmund (10/5): - Excellent
- David (8/5): Light in room poor. - Was a nice room but there was no ceiling light so was difficult for my wufe go put makeup on.
- Martin (10/5): - A great base to explore Bristol. The downsidenis theres no parking. The hotel itself was full of interesting quirks. As a Bristolian myself (now living in Chester) staying at in a historic Bristol building felt special. The bed was huge and comfy. Our bathroom was amazing. Roll top bath and seperate mega sized shower. The downsie was the lighting, nowhere to put makenup on as the room was quite dark. All in all, one of the nicest Hotel Du Vin hotels weve stayed in.
- Laggi (10/5): - Magnificent
- Cristina (8/5): - Understated elegant hotel with great rooms
- Doug (8/5): - It is a good hotel. in a good location
- Clare (10/5): - We always stay at the hotel du vin when we are in Bristol, it’s a great hotel and a very central position.
- funmi (10/5): - Lovely hotel. Perfect for accessing central Bristol. Would return.
- Jo (10/5): - Loved that the rooms are all different, parking was closely (book ahead to ensure space onsite) staff were friendly and unobtrusive but always available. We dined in the hotel - the tasting menu was superb and good value. Loved every minute and wished we could have stayed longer!
- Gary (10/5): Ok - Ok hotel, certainly not what it used to be.
- Gary (6/5): Disappointing, from previous stays - Uncomfortable bed, & the tv did not work in our room. Standards have deteriorated.
- Richard (10/5): I would go back to this place anytime - This is an exceptional hotel. I booked two rooms. Both were absolutely wonderful. Great attention to detail in each room as well as totally elegant bathrooms. The morning cooked breakfast was exceptional.
- Jonathan (10/5): - Really nice stay - comfortable room, nice staff, good food. Excellent and professional front of house lady both on check in and check out.
- Raymon (10/5): - Rooms have a cottage feel but still very much a 4 star experience. Very accommodating and very dog friendly. We could even dine with our dog as they brought the food from the bistro into the comfy bar area.
- Francesca (10/5): - Amazing hotel!
- PM (10/5): - The room was clean, spacious and well appointed with everything normally expected. The hotel was conveniently located within walking distance of numerous dining options and the theatre. Outside was busy and quite noisy but inside the hotel the noise wasn't obvious. The staff were excellent; polite friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a lovely stay here.
- Neena (10/5): - Great hotel located walking distance from the harbour! Lots of amenities and l’occitane products!!
- Colin (10/5): - Absolutely lovely accommodation! The shower was amazing !!! Friendly staff. Nice bar. Free the date palms in the lobby !
- Sean (8/5): - I’ve stayed here before and have been really pleased with the room. However, on this occasion, my (3rd floor) room felt a little tired (carpet threadbare in places), it was uncomfortably warm and the bed was too soft for my liking. On the plus side, the bathroom and walk in shower was excellent and also a large wash basin. Good choice of food at breakfast. Off road (council) Parking outside hotel is limited but lucky enough to find a space (£5.50 for overnight stay)
- Martin (10/5): Sympathetically converted luxury - The conversion of this hotel from Sugar House to luxury hotel has been done with real panache. The rooms, which have names rather than numbers are really well appointed, sympathetic with the character of the hotel. The bathroom is something else! Service was on point, particularly Jakob and Ayesha in the bar. The breakfast was generous and tasty. I only stayed one night but, if i find myself in the area again, I'll certainly make a point of staying here.
- DAVID (10/5): Great hotel in Central Bristol - Everything is great apart from my room carpet was getting a bit threadbare. Other areas great. Everywhere will furnished. Staff are great and well trained. Breakfast fab. Parking pretty poor
- Philip (10/5): Comfortable and clean hotel - Very comfortable and spacious room. Service at check in and check out was efficient and the food in the bar was excellent.
- Julie (8/5): - Great public areas, room nicely design with the HdV feel, no coffee machine though in room, got price you expect one. AC didn’t work properly even though temp was 27deg, suspect was being centrally controlled. So poor nights sleep annoyingly. Hosted dinner for 8, food and drinks were excellent.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Handheld option in shower would be nice.
- Paul (10/5): A hidden gem in the heart of the city - Nothing but impressive I can’t think of any place I’ve been wise but that’s a place I seriously consider to go back
- Becki (10/5): Just lovely all round! - Great little find - super comfy bed, amazing bathroom, relaxing bar - super convenient location - will definitely be back!
- Ivor (8/5): - Good restaurant
- kathryn (10/5): - Flawless stay. Staff totally on point. Exceptional service. Well done all keep up the good work
- Sarah (10/5): - Lovely hotel and would happily stay again
- Ivor (8/5): - Good food; parking in NCP only. Very central. The
- R (10/5): Fantastic stay - Most beautiful hotel ive ever stayed in me and my wife stayed here for our 1st wedding anniversary checked in and found out we were upgraded to a deluxe room for free after booking a classic room. Room was beautiful lovley big walk in shower seperate bath tub. Big comfy king size bed. Breakfast in the morning was beautiful a choice of cooked and continetal. Would definality stay here again.
- PA (8/5): First time stay - Hotel is lovely and very different . Check in took a while as the sole receptionist was in the phone to another customer . Unfortunately she didn’t acknowledge me whilst on the leaving me feeling a little under valued . Room was amazing . My only feedback is I couldn’t get the key out of the door after unlocking and had to ask for help . Appears there is a trick to opening and locking the doors . The pillows on the bed felt small and not very substantial for a king sized bed . Also the gap between head board and mattress made for a distrusted sleep with the pillows falling into this gap. The staff were amazing , bar staff , restaurant staff in particular . Breakfast team were exceptional , attentive without being intrusive , polite, friendly and courteous . Great stuff . Food was very good both evening meal and breakfast . Felt good value for money . Some of the decor starting to look a little tired especially the outside seating area . But in the whole a unique and friendly hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect boutique hotel - Was the perfect location - not in the hustle and bustle but walkable to shopping and the waterfront. Beautiful boutique hotel … make your reservation!
- Thomas (10/5): This hotel is amazing! - This hotel is amazing, staff are friendly, bar is relaxing & the rooms are lovely! The showers are incredible!
- John (10/5): Historic building - lovely staff great ambiance - Having stayed at The Sugar House in Bristol many times over the years, we experienced great service particularly from Vincenzo and Alex and all the staff we met. We had an excellent meal in the bistro and we will be returning again soon.
- Stuart (10/5): - Great hotel in central location
- Claire (10/5): Lovely weekend - The reception staff were very helpful when we arrived. We had come to Bristol to visit my sister, and she was impressed that we'd found a hotel in such a nice area. We were twenty minutes walk from the station, ten minutes walk from Cabot Circus, and ten minutes walk from the O2, really an ideal location. We loved the look of the hotel, such an old and unique building, and we were so impressed by our room's bathroom; I normally shower but I had to try the beautiful bathtub. L'Occitane bath products are a nice touch. It was fairly easy to connect my phone to the TV to use Chromecast; it took me a couple of attempts but I soon had my Prime video account ready to watch. All in all we had a great stay and would love to come back sometime.
- Patricia (10/5): - Wonderful suites, amazing food and wine.
- TJ (6/5): Nice room no frills - The room was nice and lovely bathroom but a few things we were not as you'd expect for the price...no light switches next to the bed! You had to shuffle in the dark back to the bed once you'd turned the light out. It's small but the vanity pack consisted of one cotton wool ball and pad and nail file?? Don't bother!
- Jolyon (8/5): Lovely - It was lovely
- Gary (10/5): Lovely Hotel - Lovely central hotel.
- Scott (8/5): Rare and wonderful - Lovely, classy place. Manages to pay homage to history and tradition while still affording all modern conveniences and an up to the minute design sensibility. Wine list is excellent, and the food is the best hotel fare we've had in many trips to England and Europe. Highly recommend. Be aware: you must call the hotel to reserve parking for your vehicle, because they only have a few spaces onsite.
- julia (10/5): - I stated for 3 nights for a conference at the university up the hill (U of Bristol). Excellent location, practically on campus. Beautiful well-kept hotel, top notch restaurant, very quiet, comfortable room with an immaculate, luxurious bathroom (including great L’Occitane toiletries!), and excellent wifi! A shout out to all the perfect, helpful staff who made my stay memorable with their kindness. I recommend eating takeout cake from Ahh Toots (around the corner) on the hotel’s beautiful enclosed patio. Made my work trip feel like a relaxing vacation!
- Ryan (10/5): - Best hotel in Bristol
- Chris (10/5): Great hotel - Everything as expected. Normal great service
- Cara (8/5): - Convenient location, nice staff, well-decorated rooms, interesting concept. Walls a little thin, carpet oddly worn, and tv outdated for an otherwise classic look. The bathroom was big and beautiful but the lovely tub seemed a bit too difficult to get in and out of so didn't try.
- Adam (10/5): Made my fiancé birthday extra special - The hotel is amazing and the breakfast was top class. Will definitely be returning. Some noise from outside the front of the hotel that sounded like deliveries but not sure and that kept me up. But was most likely out of the hotels control
- Cathy (10/5): I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E - Wow!! What a fabulous place - everything was just incredible The place, the food, the room, the brekkie, the bar - no need to leave the hotel really!
- Andrew (8/5): - Wonderful bespoke hotel. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Good bistro food. Huge room, cery comfortable. Impressive looking bathroom but shower could have been more powerful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Relaxing stay - Lovely relaxing birthday stay. Brilliant breakfast and nice friendly staff
- PAUL (10/5): Excellent overnight stay - Lovely hotel, conveniently situated for dining and shopping and theatre. Staff were great, polite, friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean and well appointed with everything we expected or needed.
- Nicola (10/5): - I stayed overnight so did not try dining/bar options but my classic room was spacious and very comfortable with stylish ensuite bath and separate shower room. Staff helpful and friendly
