Wouldn’t return, very average
Pros:

I visited in business. Check in was fairly straight forward and I was given my room key card for the third floor.
As I exited the lift the whole floor had a sweaty feel about it. There was no fresh air and it felt like you were in the changing room of a gym. Very odd.
The room was clean. It overlooked offices opposite.
I didn’t get hardly any sleep because the pillows were heavy and hard. Awful.
In the morning I made a coffee and there was no plug by the coffee making tray. I had to plug the kettle in next to the bed on the surface designed to put my case.
Breakfast was buffet style. Good choice but the bacon was dry due to it being left under heat lamps.
I got a discount on the millenium car park opposite. £7.50 for 24 hours I thought was good.
Wouldn’t stay there again. Would give it a 3 star rating at best.

Complesso il parcheggio vicino non di loro proprietà che va prenotato e pagato in anticipo e poi era pieno e non aveva alcun posto… dopo 40 minuti e’ uscita una macchina … assurdo

Would be better with proper air conditioning that worked.
Pros:

Convenient for area I needed. Near several eatery options.

Cons:

Too hot in the room. Air cooler did not work (instructions say it only works for external temperature 21. Had to have window open, so then noisy from nearby bars, walkway and restaurants. But still too hot even with window open. And it was only May so not hot outside at all.

Great location for Bristol centre
Pros:

Great location just a few minutes walk from The Beacon which was my destination. Nice harbourside location, plenty to see.

Cons:

The bed was a little hard for me. Have stayed in and enjoyed the Ibis chain before but disappointed to experience very bad internet access on this occasion.

Pros:

The bathroom is a portable pottie!
And the double bed is two single beds pushed together, not great for a couple.

Great location, great room
Pros:

Perfect location for me. Easy walk into town, and easy walk from Temple Meads. Clean, comfy, good-sized room, nice shower.

Cons:

Breakfast layout was complete chaos. People have to walk back and forth looking for stuff. One example: it would be helpful to have plates by the toaster, not right across the room!
