Avon Fire and Rescue Service say at least eight crews attended the scene after a fire broke out on the third floor above a laundry room.
Emergency services declared a "major incident" on the evening of the fire due to the scale of the operation, as well as services being stretched already due to protests across the city.
On Thursday afternoon the fire service confirmed all guests staying at the hotel had been accounted for.
The service thanked the local police force and the Premier Inn chain for their work.
