I would highly recommend Sam’s place to anyone staying in Bristol.
Location: perfect, close to all attractions and ‘things to do’ and even if we were going out and wearing heels, taxi and Ubers are very cheap and easy to get
Place itself: very chic and nicely decorated, bigger than we thought it was going to be or could see in the pictures and very high ceilings. Sam has great taste and there’s lovely little touches that in my opinion take a place from ‘good’ to ‘great’.
It is up some stairs so be prepared for that, I myself struggle sometimes and I get reminded of how unfit I am, but on the flip side it is safer to be higher up in terms of security.
Amenities: lovely shower, coffee machine was great to use, big tv, big bed in the bedroom and the sofa was comfortable to sleep on.
Places we would recommend: it was our first time going Bristol, first day we went to Beeses which is a lovely spot, look out for their events and I think getting the ferry would have been extra nice but the tide didn’t allow us to do so. We got the bus, but they’re not the best service.
Za za Bazaar, was a great buffet with food from a lot of places, fresh food and decently priced. The downstairs bar/club bit is also nice but doesn’t seem to pick up too much, but could be that it’s such a big place.
Brunch with the boys, The Cocktail Club. Highly recommend this if you’re with a group of friends, the atmosphere and show was very good. Be prepared to drink loads as it is bottomless but the drinks aren’t that strong, so we did have a few and then you have to leave the place tipsy at 3 pm into the market.
