Best Western Bristol North The Gables Hotel

Perfect for Gloucestershire, Bristol etc. Super large King size beds. Some bathrooms are a little tired but the factor that trumps everything for us is that the hotel is warm! The rooms are cosy and the water is piping hot. Perfect for cold December days and nights when we stayed. less

The uncertainty of travelling and staying in a hotel whilst visiting family for Christmas was a concern. Once we arrived and checked in we found the hotel was not busy and a number of staff had been granted family time off over the festive season. That helped regarding lower numbers. We were a little disappointed not to be allocated our usual room (it was apparently being decorated). Knowing our room would not be serviced during our stay also had a calming effect. The room we had was adequate for our needs, but considerably smaller than usual. Breakfast was to be eaten in the bar area due to pre booked Christmas tables in the main dining area. The breakfast buffet was equally as good as usual, helping set us up for each day… Thankfully the lack of evening meals was not an issue as we were visiting family and only required breakfast before leaving each morning. Prior communication regarding the restaurant would be beneficial in my opinion. The staff we saw were friendly and professional helping to maintain a clean and safe environment for our stay. We will use this hotel again due to it’s proximity to our eldest daughters home. less

The Gables was just what we needed to complete our Christmas break. We were spending Christmas with our family who live locally and needed somewhere that was friendly and good value for money close by. The staff who were working over Christmas were friendly and efficient. The food was good and we felt covid safe through out our stay. We did upgrade to the 4posterbed room with a jacuzzi bath, in hindsight, although there was nothing wrong with this, I think we'll stay in a regular room next time. less

Lovely friendly hotel. We stayed one night to break a long journey. Food in the bar was good, breakfast great and service fantastic- especially Diane! The room was clean, a bit dated but good for the price. The hotel is a minute off the M5 - great choice, less

The hotel itself is really nice but if you're looking for a decent meal forget about it! One small bowl of veg and one gravy boat between 11 adults, once the veg had been passed around and our group had added a very meagre amount of veg to their plates we ended up with five people who had no veg at all, the restaurant manager who was pretty rude about it informed us we would have to wait until all the other tables had been served before we could get any more veggies, by the time it had arrived all of our group had finished their food anyway and it was pointless. The meal was so poorly organised its a joke, avoid at all costs!!!! less
