Accommodation

I don’t stay in Bristol so these are just researched rather than recommended.

Bed and Breakfast: 9 Princes Building, close to the Suspension Bridge so good views apparently. It's about a 15 minute walk from the venue

Airbnb gives you a lot of choice but not sure all them will do just two nights
