Hotels:
There are many hotels in the city centre and a few close to the university. Below a few suggestions but they are by no means exhaustive.
Check google or see, e.g.: https://visitbristol.co.uk/accommodation/

Travelodge: https://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/78/Bristol-Central-hotel
Berkeley Square Hotel: Modern hotel next to uni:

Ibis and Travelodge typically offer best value and are most centrally located. However 15-20min (rather scenic but uphill) walk to university. Berkeley Square is closer but tends to fill up quickly and likely more expensive.
