Excellent

Breakfast area was poorly laid out. Seating was too close together, the bread was placed beyond the main section (which was cramped), and past the queue of people coming in. Food choices weren’t made obvious and items weren’t refreshed. We also had to wipe down our own crummy seat and get our own cutlery.
The bed was very comfortable and had an iron and hair dryer.
At 3am in the morning, I went reception to ask for water as on check in, I could see other guests being given bottled water. I was told I could purchase this as the water was only for Hilton members. I found this quite disappointing as I wasn’t asking for much.
Location was 10mins from city centre which was convenient.
Parking on arrival was not straightforward as most of the charging stations were out of order.
Room was clean and well fitted out. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Shower has huge temperature fluctuations from luke warm to scolding hot, without changing the position.
HGI used to have one of the best breakfasts in Bristol, but the changes have made it one of the weakest.
Coffee used to be brought to the table, 2 or 3 cups in a pot. Now there are queues to get average coffee from the machine.
The pastries have dropped in quality and they have got rid of the waffle maker, which used to be a real selling point.

We were extremely disappointed with our stay in the Hilton Garden Inn Bristol City Centre Hotel for two nights 5 - 7 December. The hotel does not at all live up to its 4 star rating and is overpriced. It is probably the worst hotel we have stayed in for many years.
There was no drinking water in the room. When we raised this at reception, we were told you needed to be a Hilton Honour member to receive it! Even a basic b&b provides water in the room as standard and we need this to take medication!
The breakfast was a very poor quality buffet, the dinner menu was very limited and was such poor quality, drinks from the bar over-priced, £15 for a glass of Malbec!! There were not even biscuits provided with the tea making facilities in the room. The car parking facility was extortionate at £20/day. Even umbrellas which were provided by the hotel were rented at £2 for 48 hours!! It's a money-making operation.
The service was indifferent and most of the staff were extremely young and inexperienced.
Our room was not made up for the second night........ the beds had not been made and the wash basin in the shower room not cleaned.
The overall experience was as if we were staying in a much cheaper 2 star hotel not a 4 star hotel. This hotel does a dis-service to the international Hilton brand name.
Avoid like the plague!!
