No. 38 Clifton is very nice, excellent breakfast and lovely rooms. Nice quiet part of town, with Clifton Downs just across the road. Avon Gorge Hotel has stunning views of the bridge, but I guess you’d be paying a fair bit for a room with a really good view. At the other end of things, the Mercure Holland House has rooms with great views out over the harbour, if you’re lucky, and is a lot less expensive. Not a ‘posh’ place but then you’re right near the centre of town without it being noisy, and a short walk away from some good pubs and restaurants, and Mud Dock, which is all important.
