The Spotlight on Clifton Hotel

Classic Charm Meets Live Music Convenience in Bristol

Modern comforts meet traditional style at the Clifton Hotel, a Grade II listed building in one of Bristol's most vibrant neighborhoods. Tucked away in Clifton, just a short walk from the city center and Clifton Village, this hotel blends historic character with warm, friendly service. Whether you're in town for a sold-out gig or a relaxed music weekend, it’s a solid base with personality.

The rooms are individually decorated with a cozy British charm, and you'll find modern touches like flat-screen TVs, WiFi, fresh tea and coffee, and luxury toiletries. Executive Doubles even come with a mini-bar and Roberts digital radio—ideal for winding down post-show.

Check-in starts from 15:00, giving you time to settle in before heading out, and check-out is a leisurely 11:00, perfect after a late night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a 20-minute walk from Bristol’s buzzing city center, where many of the city's best live music venues are located. After the show, head back to a quieter part of town for a good night’s sleep. The hotel’s 24/7 front desk means you won’t be locked out no matter how late the encore goes. Late-night food and a relaxed vibe make it easy to keep the music going or wind down at your own pace.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting a sociable, budget-friendly base
  • Solo travelers in town for that once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
  • Fans looking for a quieter spot to decompress after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want style and comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Racks Bar and Kitchen serves a modern European menu and is a favorite for its heated terrace—perfect for a post-gig bite or pre-show drinks. Cooked breakfasts are available for those late mornings after a long night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the bar stays open late, and Clifton Village offers several walkable dining options.

Nightlife Options

Enjoy drinks at Racks before heading out—it's a lively spot in its own right. The hotel is also within walking distance of bars, pubs, and lounges in both Clifton and the Harborside area. Whether you're after a quiet pint or an all-night dance party, you’ll find something nearby.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, quirky charm, and great location. Many mention the hotel’s character and comfy beds as highlights, with extra points for the excellent food at Racks. It’s often praised for being a good value stay in one of Bristol’s prettiest neighborhoods.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms are a little snug and could use an update—but most guests agree the charm and location more than make up for it. The parking is limited and not guaranteed, so leave the car at home if you can.

The Bottom Line

The Clifton Hotel offers music fans a stylish, affordable, and well-located base with character and late-night flexibility—ideal for concert-goers looking to enjoy Bristol’s music scene.

Would definitely stay there again

Liked: The staff are brilliant, very welcoming, warm and accommodating. Racks bar is great, breakfast was good.
Disliked: The only downside is there is no air conditioning in the rooms - it’s an old building, so you wouldn’t really expect it for the price. Fans are provided in the rooms but it was a very hot day and night so a little warm at night. Slept ok though.

The hotel is run by...

Liked: Location
Disliked: It’s run by uni students who have very bad Customer service In the morning when I went to sort another roomThe manager young women came running over to me about payment before 3pm or my booking would be cancelled I asked why she said because 2 nights before I was waiting all that night in the lobby to sort my cards Firstly I had been travelling , I arrived late and was sorting payment I think she expected me and my dogs to wait outside till sorted Iv been travelling for 1 year ans that’s the worst customer service i experienced Not even offered a hot drink or any comfort while waiting Just got screamed 2 days later about how unacceptable it was I waited when I could of just said cancel the booking I’ll go someoenwhere but I stayed They know nothing about customer service maybe the hotel needs to hire older staff who know more about life a situations ans not uni students who only care about drinking the night before, trying to tell a grown women who travels from Spain to the uk how to behave when I books rooms in the uk … I don’t live in the uk so when I book a hotel I wait there before checking in Wish I didn’t bother staying there A big AVOID for this hotel it’s like a student accommodation
