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.

Exceptional

Liked: Outstandingly helpful staff at every turn. They went out of their way to assist in any way they could. Even the cleaning lady engaged with our daughter to ask her about her recent stay at summer camp nearby.
Disliked: No negative points whatsoever.

Don't.

Liked: I needed help getting an important letter printed and the staff were really helpful with that.
Disliked: On a roasting hot night, in a half empty hotel, being give a room in the attic that was appallingly hot, with a useless, pointless fan. I had a terrible nights sleep made worse by a massive, hot duvet and pillows like trampolines.Surely, given the extreme weather, they could have offered me a cooler room - anything on the floor below would have been better than my oven.

Nice location, bad smell

Liked: Location and bar
Disliked: The bathroom completely stank of cigarettes and then the next morning the bathroom slowly developed a very very strong smell of rotten egg to the point you could not go in there.
