The Novotel's purply neon-extravagance makes for an invitingly cosy sight if you are stumbling around Bristol at night. Located within five minutes of Temple Meads this capable four-star property offers a smart and gently stylish base to explore the city or to catch connections at the nearby station. Although ostensibly targeting young, savvy business folks with plans and events in the city, it's still a credible leisure option - and although it lacks a swimming pool it does have sauna, a Turkish bath and fitness room on site. Other perks include:

• Practical location in the City Centre within strolling distance of the shops and Bristol Meads Quay.
• Secure indoor parking around £10 for 24 hours.
• Multi-lingual staff French, Polish, Spanish.
Sizeable 'Elemets' Restaurant serving a solid International menu also features Sky Sports.
• All Novotel bedrooms enjoy LCD multi-channel television, pay-per-view movies and pay-as-you-go wi-fi.
• Kids facilities include Xbox and other computer games in the hotel lobby. There's also a play area and a reasonable children's menu in the diner.
• Accommodation is free to kids under 16 years of age.
