I had an very nice stay at Brooks Guesthouse Bristol! The quirky caravan experience on the roof was one of the highlights for me. The only downside was the noise from the city, which might bother light sleepers. Overall, the warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious breakfast options made my visit lovely. 🌟

My stay at Brooks Guesthouse Bristol had its ups and downs. The central location was fantastic, making it easy to explore the vibrant St Nicholas Market area. However, the cleanliness of the room was disappointing, with dust everywhere, a dirty shower screen, and a fan that I hesitated to use. While the friendly staff made me feel welcome and the breakfast options were good, the overall maintenance of the room left much to be desired.
