Like all Premier Inns, the Premier Inn Bristol East - Emersons Green is budget-friendly but
appointed like a mid-range hotel. As of early 2015, rooms were being updated to
modern Premier standard with large flat-screen TVs, new beds, and the wooden furnishings
typical of the chain. Bristol city center is a 15-minute drive away, but the
location is convenient for travelers with business in northeastern Bristol. Like all hotels in the chain, this one has limited facilities and a surprisingly good on-site restaurant and bar.
Scene
Atmospheric exterior with patio and cozy restaurant
Blending in well with the area, this Premier Inn has a red-brick exterior with A-frame-style roofs and is surrounded by a landscaped garden of hedges and
lawn; there's also a brick patio topped with wooden table sets that
are popular with guests and families on dry, warm days. The attached Beefeater
restaurant is split-level dining room with a classic
wooden bar downstairs and more seating -- both booth and tables -- upstairs. The hotel lobby is rather sterile, with just a couple of chairs and a
reception desk that give it the look of a clinic.
Location
On a major road near business district of northeastern Bristol
The hotel is situated on the outskirts of northeastern Bristol, near a busy
traffic circle and the Bristol Ring Road, but far enough away from traffic not to be
disturbed. Access to the city and motorways is convenient on the nearby A4174. The immediate
area doesn’t have any restaurants or shops. The National Composites Centre and
Bristol & Bath Science Park are on the other side of the roundabout, about
a seven-minute and 11-minute walk, respectively. The
Bristol City Centre is about a 15-minute drive away, and shopping at the Cribbs
Causeway is just a little further. The beautiful and historic town of Bath is
about a 30-minute drive away and Bristol Airport about 35 minutes. The hotel offers free parking.
Rooms
Newly updated to comfortable Premier standard
As of early 2015, the rooms were being renovated from their
previous tired look with squishy beds and tiny TVs to the Premier Inn standard
look – new beds, 40-inch flat-screen TVs, purple bedding, carpet and curtains,
wooden shelving units, desk, couch lounge chair and kettle for tea and coffee.
The new bathrooms are super modern, and immaculate with attached toilets and large
shower/tub combos. Rooms have limited free Wi-Fi access, but additional time can
be purchased.
Features
Free parking; Wi-Fi for a fee; on-site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner
This Premier Inn has plenty of free outdoor parking, but Wi-F is only free for the first 30 minutes, before requiring payment. The
attached Beefeater restaurant serves a large buffet breakfast with many hot
items, including classic English breakfast fare (eggs, sausage, mushrooms,
beans, etc). Note that breakfast is not included in all rates. The restaurant also
has a full bar and serves pub food for lunch and dinner.
