4 min readIt doesn’t matter how far your budget stretches – there are ways to get a great deal on accommodation in Bristol.
Whether you prefer to rest your head in a cheap and cheerful hostel or a luxury hotel, here are our four top tips for getting more for your money:
Look for special offers on accommodation
Your first stop for planning where to stay in Bristol should be our accommodation offers page. Here you can compare deals like seasonal discounts, reduced rates on certain nights of the week, and advance booking discounts.
Make your booking direct
How can you get the very best prices and even extra perks such as free parking, breakfast and the chance to choose your room? Simply book your stay directly with the hotel. Booking websites charge commission, so you'll very often get a better deal when you skip the middleman.
Sometimes only a limited selection of rooms are listed on third-party booking sites too, which means you may think your choice of accommodation is fully booked when there could still be rooms available.

Extend your weekend break
With cheaper rates on Fridays and Sundays, treat yourself to an extra night in the city for less than you might expect. You’re especially likely to find a great deal on a Sunday, when accommodation is quieter and special offers often run to encourage bookings.
Consider Bristol’s busy event calendar
If you’re visiting for one of the city’s major events or festivals, always try to book your accommodation as far in advance as possible, not only as spaces will fill up fast but also for the best chance of a lower rate.
Don’t plan to be here for a specific event? It’s still worth checking what’s on before you book somewhere to stay. Then if you’re able to be flexible with dates, you can avoid days that coincide with a big event (including large sporting events in the region) and may be able to find a lower priced room than in those busy periods.
