Local knowledge for Bristol

Where to stay

Stokes Croft and the Harbourside are where most budget beds cluster. Stokes Croft runs along Cheltenham Road within walking distance of the center, with frequent First Bus routes and cheap food at every corner. The Harbourside is a bit quieter at night but saves legwork if the waterfront museums or the Watershed cinema are on your list.

Getting around

  • St Nicholas Market on Corn Street (open Tuesday to Saturday) has some of the cheapest hot lunches in the city center, usually just a few pounds, and is far better value than anything near the waterfront.
  • First Bus route 8 runs regularly from Temple Meads station up to Clifton Village. Get off at the Village and walk to the Suspension Bridge rather than trying to navigate there from the center on foot.
  • Harbour Festival in late July can double hostel rates for that specific weekend. Check the festival dates before you book and if your dates are flexible, the week before or after is significantly cheaper.

When to go

January and February are the cheapest months to book. Late July through August, especially around Harbour Festival weekend, hostels fill days in advance and prices climb fast.
