Premier Inn Bristol City Centre Finzels Reach

So, there I was, wandering around Bristol like a tourist in my own city, trying to find a place to crash after a long day of exploring. I'd heard about this new Premier Inn at Finzels Reach, but I was skeptical. You know how it is, right? New places, high expectations, and all that. But hey, let's give it a shot, I thought.

First impressions? Well, let's just say it was love at first sight. Or should I say, love at first location. Right on the harbourside, with the SS Great Britain peeking over the rooftops, it's like staying in a postcard. I mean, who wouldn't want to wake up to that view?

Check-in: A Breath of Fresh Air

Now, I've stayed in my fair share of hotels, and let me tell you, the check-in process at Premier Inn Bristol City Centre Finzels Reach was a breath of fresh air. No long queues, no grumpy receptionists (well, at least not on my watch), just a quick and friendly chat with the staff, and I was in.

And the room? Oh, the room. I'm not one to get too excited about hotel rooms - I mean, it's just a place to sleep, right? But this one was different. It was like they'd taken all the best bits of a hotel room and squished them into one, cozy little space. Comfy bed? Check. Power shower? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Check, check, check.

Breakfast: The Most Important Meal of the Day

Now, I don't know about you, but I'm a firm believer that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And the breakfast at Premier Inn? Well, let's just say it's not your average continental spread. We're talking full English, continental, or even a cheeky grab-and-go option if you're in a rush. I went for the full English, of course. When in Rome, right?

And the best bit? The view. While you're tucking into your breakfast, you can watch the world go by on the harbourside. It's like a little slice of holiday magic, right in the heart of the city.

Exploring the Neighbourhood

But it's not just about the hotel, right? It's about the location, the vibe, the whole package. And Finzels Reach? Well, it's got it all. From the Wapping Wharf food market (hello, street food heaven) to the M Shed museum, there's plenty to keep you busy. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even hop on a ferry to explore the other side of the harbour.

But here's the thing, you don't even have to leave the hotel to have a good time. The Reception Bar is the perfect spot to unwind after a long day of exploring. And with a selection of local beers and a menu full of delicious dishes, it's no wonder it's a popular spot with both guests and locals.

The Verdict

So, would I recommend Premier Inn Bristol City Centre Finzels Reach? In a heartbeat. It's not just a place to stay, it's an experience. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, it's like a little slice of Bristolian heaven. And who knows, you might even find yourself wandering around the city like a tourist in your own town, just to stay there again.

But don't just take my word for it. Go and see for yourself. After all, the best stories are the ones you experience, right?
