Flights from Spain (mainly the cheapest) arrive in Bristol by late night. If you have already arranged an accommodation, will be too late to meet with the landlord, sign your contract and take position in your new house. In any case the best you can do is spend your first night in a Youth Hostel. We chose the Rock and Bowl (as known as The Lanes). The Rock and Bowl is a hostel and a pub at the same time. The pub is very cool, with its bowling lanes and two bars and very well decorated. I have never been there for a drink but seems to be the perfect place for that and of course a game of bowls.
The cleaning and furniture (in the hostel) are not the best in England. So if you don't mind to expend just a few more quids I recommend you the YHA Bristol. Would I know it before would I spend my first night there, is cleaner and cosier and placed in a much better place.
The transfer from the airport can be made by bus or taxi. A taxi will cost you 6 pounds and you drop off to five minutes walking from Rock and Bowl and 15 minutes from YHA Bristol. A taxi cost 26 pounds, takes the third part of time and leaves you in the door of the hostel. Is up to you. The cost of the taxi is 26 pound for the ones that you will find in the front door of the Airport. Use those, they are painted in an undefined light colour, in the very door, you can’t miss them. If you take the typical blue bristolian taxi, they will charge you 30 pounds minimum. Never pay more than that for a lift to or from the Airport. Never.
