Premier Inn Portishead

Rooms at the Premier Inn Portishead feature a king-size Hypnos bed and a comfortable chair (twin rooms have a double bed and a chaise longue/sofa bed), a writing desk, a flat-screen television, tea and coffee making facilities and an en suite bathroom. The bathroom has a bathtub with a showerhead above it rather than a proper walk-in shower. All rooms have free Wi-Fi wireless internet access (up to 1GB per day).

This hotel has double, twin and family rooms. Some wheelchair-accessible rooms are also available.

The hotel also features a Brewers Fayre restaurant, which has a menu that consists mostly of pub favourites. The hotel restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner.

The hotel is located around a 10-minute walk southeast of Portishead town centre. Portishead is a pleasant town by the seaside in North Somerset and its town centre is split between a traditional shopping street lined with buildings made with Bath stone, a soulless retail park and a modern marina development with modern blocks of flats and a waterfront promenade.

Portishead is within commuting distance of Bristol and if you’re visiting by car you can get into Bristol in around 20 minutes but it takes at least twice as long if you’re travelling by bus.

At this stage Portishead is not the most convenient location for anyone visiting Bristol, however, work is currently underway to reopen the Portishead branch rail line, which will shorten the travel time considerably. The new rail line is expected to open by late 2023.

Until the train line has been reopened, the easiest way to get into Bristol by public transport is by bus route X3a, which takes approximately 40 minutes with an hourly service.

Free car parking is available at this hotel and it is a great accommodation option if you’re driving.

Premier Inn is the largest hotel chain in the United Kingdom and it usually scores very high on customer surveys when compared to other UK hotel chains. It operates at the budget end of the market and provides a reasonably high standard of accommodation for the price, and is comparable to ibis and Travelodge hotels.
