Located in a prime location, the Bristol is a pretty good place to stay if the price is right.
If you stay at the Bristol, the room is comfortable enough, nothing fancy and not modern. It's an old building and there is only so much they can do without gutting the place. The location in the center of town is it's primary attraction, and Reims is very walkable from here. You can easily walk to champagne tours, through the nearby park, tour the shops or visit the fantastic Notre Dame de Reims cathedral. The gothic cathedral was completed in 1275 AD after 64 years of construction, it is very impressive.
