Best Western Bristol North The Gables Hotel

Excellent service with included buffet breakfast. Clean and well presented. Pleasant staff.Close to Slimbridge wetland wildlife centre which is well worth a visit. We are best Western reward members so we took advantage of sale price with included buffet breakfast. less

I often use the Gables as a convenient place to meet on business being close to the M5 J14 both north and south.They have even changed and upgraded the lounge bar furniture so it is more 'sofa friendly'.My colleague and I also had a very good lunch of which his consisted of a trio of three huge sausages and mash with gravy (£10.50) and mine was a very generous sized ham eggs and chips (£11.50).All washed down with a pint of diet coke (£3.20) and a pint of lager shandy (£4.30). Good solid value,very filling and pleasantly served.Always a pleasure to return to this establishment.Did not stay in the hotel overnight. less

Stayed 1 night in a normal room, with double bed. The room itself was small (even compared to the likes of a budget IBIS or Travelodge). Furnishings were tired (frayed blind, chipped wood in open wardrobe area), tv remote not cleaned since purchased, and grime on tiles in bathroom. No main lights in room area, just lamps. Bed was ok and mattress firm. No air circulation, just window. Only 1 non occupied plug socket in the room! There was a brief powercut before midnight. Soundproofing was good between rooms, lots of road noise, but hotel is next to a motorway. WiFi was good. I had intended to eat dinner at the hotel but noticed on my way into reception that there was only 2/5 food standard rating for the hotel. Food standards website confirmed last check March 2018 and issues with food prep. That’s just gross and made me think what else are the corners being skipped on. For that reason I also skipped the hot breakfast. In summary, a tired but functional hotel, but I wouldn’t recommend eating there. less

Reasonable hotel, I found sleeping a challenge due to the hotrls proximity to the main road which never seems to become quite, the menu choice is quite limited and the rooms are starting to show their age. I can't fault the resturant/bar staff and the cleaning team, they were very friendly and took pride in their work. less

We booked this hotel because it was only 3 miles from where the balloon flight was. Our flight was tomorrow morning an we got half way around the m25 when they cancelled the the flight due to the weather. We wanted to change the date for staying at the hotel but were not able to so we lost £80. We didn't want a refund just a different date so if anyone is booking a balloon trip think on less
