Bristol has a wealth of accommodation available to visitors – from 4 and 5 star hotels to self-catering and serviced apartments; bed and breakfast and airbnb rooms to camping facilities.
The two nearest hotels to the Watershed, both within five minutes walk, are the mid-range Ibis Bristol Centre and The Bristol.
The Bristol is offering a special rate to festival guests. To book a room call +44 117 923 0333 or email bristol@doylecollection.com, quoting RAI FILM FESTIVAL.
But there are many other options, in all categories, slightly further away.
