The Spotlight on The Washington

Charming Bristol Stay Just Steps from the Music

A characterful base for your concert getaway, The Washington sits in a beautiful Grade II listed building in the heart of Clifton. Just a short stroll from Bristol’s buzzing cultural and music scene, this hotel offers classic charm with thoughtful perks—like complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits, and fruit in every room. You're less than a mile from the city centre and minutes from must-visit landmarks like the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Bristol Museum.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is a standout—just a 3-minute walk to key Clifton venues and only 2 miles from Temple Meads Station, making post-show transport easy. While it’s close to the action, the quiet residential street offers a peaceful retreat after a loud night. Late check-in from 15:00 gives you time to explore before the show, and the friendly staff are used to guests on music missions.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a chill base near the nightlife
- Solo travelers ticking off a dream gig
- Couples making a weekend of it in Clifton’s charming streets
- Fans wanting a quieter place to unwind post-show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a solid breakfast and great location

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right with a full English or continental breakfast included in the room rate (continental only on Mondays and Tuesdays). While there’s no late-night restaurant on-site, you're surrounded by Clifton’s independent cafés, pubs, and eateries. Stock up on snacks with the complimentary in-room treats or grab a bite nearby before heading to your venue.

Nightlife Options

The Washington is surrounded by Bristol’s vibrant bars and local pubs, many with live music, craft drinks, and late-night vibes. Whether you're looking for a lively post-gig pint or a quieter cocktail, you’re in good company here. No on-site bar, but plenty within a short walk.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, great location, and the charming character of the building. Many mention the breakfast as a welcome bonus after a night out. It’s praised as good value, especially for a central location that’s still relaxed and peaceful.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviews note that the décor could use a refresh, and the older building means a few squeaky floorboards—but most agree it adds to the quirky charm. Parking is limited and costs extra, so plan ahead or opt for public transport.

The Bottom Line

With its prime location, friendly vibe, and breakfast included, The Washington is a smart and cozy choice for concert-goers looking to enjoy Bristol’s music scene without breaking the bank.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Ameena Thu, 21 August 2025

Not great

Liked: Our stay was okay, not great, but there were a few areas that could be improved. The rooms were a bit dusty and didn’t feel as clean as expected. Unfortunately, the double bed was quite uncomfortable, and my mother experienced back pain as a result.We also had a disruptive night due to noise and unexpected knocks on the door of our first-floor room, which affected my sleep.On a positive note, breakfast was excellent and the highlight of our stay.
Disliked: If there were a night manager at the desk, maybe we could get some help with the noise and unexpected door knocks in the middle of the night. Rooms were dusty.

Pleasant

Liked: Nice to see a traditional hotel still going. Staff were very helpful.
Disliked: Cooked breakfast was included but wasn't provided due to lack on kitchen staff. Accepting that accommodation in Bristol is ridiculously inflated, I still felt that the rate paid didn't offer value for money.
