Brooks Guesthouse Bristol – A Favorite for Families in Bristol
About the Hotel
Rooms & Rockets
Brooks Guesthouse offers double, king, twin, and triple rooms with John Lewis pocket-sprung beds, Hungarian goose down duvets, and Cole & Son wallpapers. All rooms include flat-screen TV/DVD players, free Wi-Fi, and tea/coffee facilities. Four British-made Airstream-style caravans sit on the rooftop: 16ft, 18ft, and 20ft Rockets with double beds, compact bathrooms, and seating areas. The 20ft Rocket converts to two single beds for children under 8. Bathrooms feature floor-to-ceiling travertine tiles, Hansgrohe power showers, heated towel rails, and demister mirrors.
Breakfast & Honesty Bar
Breakfast includes eggs Florentine, eggs Benedict, full English breakfast, French toast, and bacon sandwiches cooked in an open-plan kitchen using local free-range produce. Bread comes from Herbert's Bakery, with homemade granola, yogurts, juices, and pastries. An honesty bar offers reasonably priced drinks and snacks. The lounge has leather sofas, rustic tables, and a courtyard with garden furniture for outdoor relaxation.
Location & Transportation
The guesthouse is next to St Nicholas Market, known for multicultural food stalls. It's a 15-minute walk to Bristol Temple Meads station, the University of Bristol, Wapping Wharf bars and restaurants, the Old Vic, O2, and Hippodrome. The nearest hop-on, hop-off bus stops are on Rupert Street and Colston Avenue. Bristol City Museum, We The Curious, M Shed, and Cabot Tower are within 1 km.
Services & Sustainability
Reception operates from 8 AM to 8 PM daily, with night staff from 8 PM to 8 AM. The property is cashless. Secure bike storage is available. Brooks focuses on sustainability: thermostatic radiator valves, LED lighting, Hansgrohe eco-showers, and encouragement to use public transport. Deposits are refundable until 2 days prior to arrival, minus a £20 fee.
Property Features
The guesthouse has a lift beside the stairwell, though third-floor rooms and rooftop Rockets require a short flight of stairs. Safety features include carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and a security system. Free Wi-Fi covers the entire property. Daily housekeeping services all rooms.
