Really great selection of all types of book. Kids area was very nice and calm. Cafe was lovely. Only slight let down were the toilets, I expected them to be in better shape and a bit cleaner as they were locked away and you had to get a code to get in

Store is brilliant, plenty of books available. The store is clean, tidy and well organised. There is a lovely children's area, with a table to keep he children amused with activities. The cafe was nice. Good price and range of products, but was disappointed that there was no bread available due to the delivery not arriving.

I love walking in here and breathing in the smell of new books. Staff are friendly here and seem to be genuine book lovers which is becoming rarer in my experience. Thry do a decent coffee in the little coffee shop too.

5/ 5

By far my favourite Waterstones in Bristol. Every time I go in there it feels like I’m in a cosy Christmas movie, stacked to the rafters with stories waiting to be read. Staff are on-hand for help but not pushy. The new fiction section is always super varied. The reward scheme is great too if you’re a regular. 5*

Huge collection of books! I didn’t find what I wanted here, but their Star Wars collection was the best I’ve seen in Waterstones. I could spend all day in here! Found the entrance to the store from the street confusing; the doors look liked fire exit doors 😂
