The Spotlight on Channings Hotel by Greene King Inns

Classic Clifton Stay with Pub Vibes and City Access

Channings Hotel by Greene King Inns blends traditional charm with modern convenience in Bristol’s leafy Clifton district. Just a short stroll from Clifton Down Station and the iconic suspension bridge, this laid-back hotel offers a cozy base with a large beer garden, on-site bar, and easy access to both the city center and popular live music venues.

Inside, rooms are simply decorated with modern comforts like free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms—perfect for unwinding after a gig.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel scores high for location—just half a mile from Clifton Down Station and with fast bus links to central Bristol, it’s a hassle-free choice for getting to and from shows. The peaceful Clifton setting means you can actually sleep after the encore, and with a pub downstairs, you don’t have to go far for a celebratory drink. Check-in from 14:00 gives you time to settle in before the music starts, and 11:00 check-out means no early alarms after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a relaxed stay with beers on tap
  • Solo travelers catching a dream show in the city
  • Couples combining music and a romantic weekend
  • Fans who want peace and quiet after the mosh pit
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who value location and comfort

Food and Drink Options

With a traditional pub on site, you can grab hearty meals and drinks late into the evening. While there’s no 24-hour room service, the menu and beer garden make up for it. You’ll also find plenty of walkable eateries nearby in Clifton. Breakfast is available, ideal for a slow start after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

Stay close to the action without being in the thick of it. The hotel’s own bar offers a relaxed vibe, and you’re just minutes from the buzzing nightlife of central Bristol, whether you're seeking live music, craft cocktails, or chill lounges.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, great location, and the classic pub atmosphere. Many say it’s the perfect mix of peaceful setting and city access. The beer garden is a favorite spot for pre- or post-show drinks, and travelers appreciate the straightforward, good-value rooms.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury hotel—rooms are basic and some furnishings could use a refresh. There’s no air conditioning, so warm summer nights might get stuffy. Still, most concert-goers agree it's great value for money with everything you need.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show in Bristol and want a laid-back, well-located stay with pub perks and a quiet night’s sleep, Channings Hotel is a solid pick.

Character building with associated traits...

Liked: Booked this hotel as it was only about 5 minutes from where I needed to be in the evening. Had a burger in the garden which was enjoyable, and had a good breakfast - especially the fresh croissant.
Disliked: Only booked a single room which was a single bed, which I'm not used to (but not a fault with the hotel on that!).

Convenient and cheerful

Liked: The location is very good. Parking is a bit of a problem, with no on-site parking but a fair amount of permit parking is available in nearby roads. We obtained our permit through a relative. I expect the hotel can help with this??The hotel had a nice vibe with many students using the bar and garden. We were not troubled by noise.
Disliked: It had too failings which are extremely common in hotels. The duvet was much too thick and therefore hot for use in spring (and probably in winter too in a heated room) and there were no hooks in the bathroom to hang up your clothes. Otherwise no complaint.

Would stay again

Liked: Their breakfast is amazing. Although it’s carpet floor, it’s very clean.
Disliked: Since it has a pub under the rooms, the noise is a little bit annoying for the ones that’s light sleeper
