Best Hotels Near Bristol Airport (BRS Guide)
Bristol Airport (BRS) is the South West's biggest airport — easyJet, Ryanair, TUI and Jet2 all fly heavily here. With limited parking and an airport up on the Mendips, the right hotel makes the difference between a calm pre-flight night and a 4am dash from Bristol city centre.
Bristol Airport at a glance
Single-terminal layout. The airport sits 8 miles south of Bristol on the A38, with no rail link — the Bristol Flyer A1 bus is the cheapest direct option from the city.
Because BRS car parks book up fast in summer school holidays, a park-stay-fly bundle is often the best value option for a week-long trip — and almost always cheaper than booking parking and a hotel separately.
Hotels you can walk to from the terminal
- Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport5-minute walk to terminal
The closest hotel to BRS, opened in 2017. Free breakfast, Hilton Honors points, and a covered indoor walk to check-in. Default pick for early flights.
