In the bustling city of Bristol full of vibrant creativity and historic charm, finding the perfect accommodation that combines comfort, affordability, and a vibrant atmosphere can be a backpacker’s dream come true. The Bristol Wing is situated right in the middle of it all, and we are ready to help you have a truly memorable experience in Bristol. Here are just a few reasons why The Bristol Wing is the perfect choice for backpackers:
-
Perfect location with an interesting history:
The Wing is located on Bridewell St (back to this shortly) right in between Cabot Circus and the harbour. We are just a few minutes from places such as St. Nicholas Market (seriously, try the food, all the food!), the Bristol Beacon, and the Hippodrome. Our building is in the Old Police Headquarters, and has some really cool historic features – like a 1920s lift! Bridewell Street itself has an interesting connection to Bristol’s riot history – read more about it here. When you are done admiring our beautiful building, everything Bristol has to offer is waiting right at our doorstep!

Traveling on a budget doesn’t mean compromising on comfort and quality. The Bristol Wing provides affordable accommodation with a boutique feel. Backpackers can choose from a variety of room options, including dormitories and private rooms, all designed to cater to different budget constraints.
