    I wouldnt recommend the A4 B&B, not that I've stayed there but I thought it was more of a dossers B&B.

    I had forgotten about the Black Castle pub, yes its open again and does nice cheap meals, there are a selection of meals that are 2 for £7.

    Thankyou all for you help
    I tried the Premier Inn Bristol they wanted £164 for 2 nights Nov22nd/23rd

    Charlea I will look for b&bs in the Clifton area of Bristol ,Thankyou also for info about the bus

    Tiff the Black Castle pub 2 for £7 meals will be ideal for us thanks also the Bocabar which is right next door to the studio will be great to get a meal before the show

    Just googled B&B's Brislington, this one is about a 10 minute walk from the Paintworks:

    http://www.woodstockguesthouse.org/

    and has good reviews, although you would need to get a bus or a taxi from bus depot. Not as cheap as I was expecting £65 for 2 per night, alternatively you could stay not far from the bus depot at The Future Inn Cabot Circus, this is £75 per night excluding breakfast - the plus side is that you are in the centre and there are loads of places to eat at Cabot Circus.

    Unfortunately Bristol is quite expensive a place to stay for a couple of nights.

    the cheapest i have found so far is the Travel lodge on the
    harborside on anchor rd and its is 52 a night for the nights that you want

    you can walk to the bottom of Park st and get the bus that goes to the paintworks also you are right on the waterfront opposite the ss great britian and you can walk up Park st or get the bus at the bottom to go up to cliffton and the gorge and the downs ect
    Park st has lots of bars and resturants you also have all the new bars and resturants along the waterfront

    also Brandon Hill/Park where the john cabot tower is and the bristol cathedral and college green is all within mins walk away

    Bristol’s City Museum & Art Gallery is also at the top of park st this is where banksy had his exhibition last year and this is also within easy walking distance of the travelodge and the city center ibis
    Plenty of stuff to do in this area and safe as well


    Ibis temple meads is 124

    cityabode which is a one bed apartments right opposite the hippodrome in the city center is 150


    ibis city center /waterfront is 135 this is overlooking the waterfront near the ss great britain and close to the travel lodge

    premier inn on KING ST Is near aqua resturant and the waterside is 144 ( and they do a really nice breakfast

    from all of these hotels you can also walk to the city center or to the train station from here and get a bus to paintworks

    The Woodstock B&B mentioned above looks good and perfect location for the walk to or from Deal or no Deal. I never knew about the Future Inn at Cabot circus but if it was me I would love to stay there in the middle of everything.

    the future inns are really really nice i stayed in the one in cardiff bay and have been in one of the room in the bristol one when a friend stayed there recently
    the beds are huge and they also have suites availible with a seperate living room for 80 quid

    they are reasonably priced for a city center hotel as cheap as 50 pounds sometimes and the bristol is right opposite cabot circus and cafe rouge house of frazer ect plus you get free wifi and the bar /resturant is good as well

    How do you get tickets for Deal or No Deal? It's my dad's favourite programme, he would love to go.
