If you happen to be visiting Bristol in August during the International Balloon Fiesta then it really should be considered a must-see, as hundreds of hot air balloons in a huge variety of shapes and colours take to the sky. The festival takes place at Ashton Court Estate, 2 miles to the west of the city centre If you are visiting the city specifically for the event you may consider a hotel situated towards the west side of Bristol.
If you are planning on exploring a little farther afield and paying a visit to the nearby historic roman city of Bath, or crossing the England-Wales border to take a look around the Welsh capital city of Cardiff, then staying at a hotel in the Temple Meads area of Bristol, close to the main railway station may be a good idea.
