Ratings and reviews
4.0 / 10.0
Hotel in an old historic property. Lots of quirky artifacts in the room which is great for travelers. Suite was spacious. Only comment is that suite 11 on the second floor was above the basement bar and the music was loud until midnight when it closed. Upside was that the music was pretty good and I had jet lag so not really an issue.

No parking at the hotel - on street parking only. Machines were not working and was not able to set up account to pay by mobile as it wouldn’t send SMS to Canadian mobile number.

Fun design lead hotel that felt very homely and comfortable in a mid century imdustrial hipster style. Friendly and efficient staff. Food was good although a pasta option would have been welcome. Top notch overall

Hidden but convenient gem…
8.0 / 10.0
Lovely quirky place to stay, room was beautiful and spacious. The bed was super comfy and the pillows were out of this world, although the bed frame was squeakier than Stuart Little getting murdered by a cat. Also work force outside was a rude awakening but that’s not the hotels fault. Really pleased we found this little gem

A fantastic hotel, with brilliant facilities and service that made our stay a great one. The food and drink was excellent too.
3.0 / 10.0
I recently stayed at this charming hotel. It was a convenient location for city shopping and an impeccably clean and tidy environment. The Victorian, slightly industrial decor was an absolute delight, adding a unique character to the place. The staff were consistently friendly and polite, contributing positively to the overall experience. Additionally, the food and drink prices were reasonable, making dining in the hotel a pleasant and affordable option.
However, there was a notable downside. Upon checking in, we were informed that we had been allocated 'The Shoe Box Room' due to booking through an agent, specifically originally with Expedia, rather than directly with the hotel. While the room itself met our needs, this practice felt somewhat condescending, particularly since we were paying a higher rate compared to some top hotels in Bristol's trendy Clifton area.
Overall, the hotel's positives outweigh this minor issue. I hope the management reconsiders this approach to ensure all guests feel equally valued, regardless of how they book their stay.

We booked in for a weekend to celebrate our anniversary and the hotel was a surprise to my wife. Lovely interior and funky room designs.
We had a couple of issues with the room but the staff did all they could to resolve the issues. When they couldn’t move us because they were fully booked they did all they could to make up for it and we couldn't fault their apologetic manner and efforts they went to to make up for it.
We will look forward to staying at other hotels within the group. Thank you Floss and the Team!

Wonderful hotel. Always a warm welcome. The room was clean and very comfy. Great atmosphere overall, brilliant location for visiting Gloucester Rd and the city centre
5.0 / 10.0
Loved the lay out of the hotel. Very quirky and so very different to your normal/regular hotel. Great bar and food! Good part of town. Will definitely stay again!
Only downside, no parking. But Cabot Circus car park just 5 mins walk. £17.80 for 24 hours. Costly, but safe place to park. Dont bother with JustPark app. It is cheaper, but will send you to dodgy neighbourhoods.
5.0 / 10.0
I stay in hotels a lot for work and this is by far one of my favourites. Usually I just expect a clean and functional room but I felt so cosy and at home, the interior was beautiful and there were so many lovely little touches.
In terms of practicality the hotel is in a good central location, it was easy to get parked using the RingGo app outside. Check in was quick, the room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. Will definitely prioritise this hotel for upcoming Bristol work trips.

Curtains to bedroom were poor . As an old building not easy to negotiate stairs to room. Quirky and different having stayed before but prices have increased significantly

Short, single night stay - very welcoming, good buzz with a Christmas party in full swing. Although not the biggest room - mine was comfortable and quirky.
4.0 / 10.0
We found this hotel situated conveniently for shopping areas in the centre of Bristol. The hotel didn't have a manned reception desk, but had a secure access tag system. Our room was cold when we arrived and we had to ask reception to turn on the heating remotely, similarly the television only worked properly if you could stream what you wanted to watch from your own mobile device after logging in. The furnishings were comfortable and as you would expect in a hotel at this price point. Unfortunately we had to leave before breakfast was served so we cannot comment on that but I would like to add that all the staff we saw were helpful and friendly
4.0 / 10.0
Lovely accommodation. Great location easy to park outside on the street. A couple of details that would have made it better
1) immediately after check in pushed the lift call button and waited. The lift arrived and opened. Inside was woman with cleaning supplies listening to her headphones. She must have seen me waiting outside the opening door but she pushed the button to close the doors without saying a word and off went the lift! I had to take the stairs! Quite rude!
2) parking is convenient but it would be good if the hotel gave you info about local parking regulations. I parked in a bay on the share and paid via ru go until 9am the following day, presuming I could then extend if needed. At 8.50am the next day I tried to extend but had hit the max limit for parking in that bay/zone so I had to rush off and move the car around the corner!

Great little hotel which is centrally located! On street parking using the Ringo app was so convenient. Will stay again.

Lovely space that has the feel of a home away from home. Beautiful creative vibe and friendly staff
4.0 / 10.0
This is such a lovely hotel! Highly recommend. Just marred by silly details in service. You can't get in without ringing the door bell and it takes a while as they are all working in the bar (a bit much when it is raining hard!), the window had been wide open making the room really cold. The room itself though is lovely with everything you could think of to make it comfortable plus quirky extras. Food downstairs - very busy I don't know if you can pre-book but you need to really as I had to wait for a table. Cocktails are great, food choice a little limited but nice

Beautifully decorated property. In keeping with the arty history of the property! So central yet surprisingly quiet. What a find. It also has a well stocked mini bar and a lovely little restaurant attached. I Will absolutely be staying here again.

This is our 3rd stay at Artist Residence, Bristol.
We love everything about it - the rooms are super comfy & packed with everything you need for your stay.
The interiors are just a dream! You don’t need to leave the hotel as the bar/restaurants are prefect for a cozy evening in or some drinks, but if you do it’s conveniently placed a 5 minute walk away from Cabot Circus or Stokes Croft.

A unique residence, with a very nice restaurant. Not the best for a business traveller as it was not easy to find, there was no parking, and access to the hotel was not easy.

Room very clean and comfortable
Rediculous price for a pint of beer and a very small bowl of nuts- £9.80, including vat with is added to the bill.
3.0 / 10.0
I enjoyed my stay and the room was very cosy. However, I didn’t appreciate my partner (as it was his number listed in Hotels.com) getting a phone call at 2130 rudely asking where I was as I had not turned up. This is despite me having fully paid for the room in advance and already having dropped my bag off at around midday earlier that day and told the man on reception that I was at a work event so would be back later this evening. I then received a worried phone call from my partner and felt I had to leave my work event early to make sure I was able to check in even though I was aware that check in was 24hours as stated on the website. For this reason I am unlikely to stay here again.
