Joe C. Couples - 5/30/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The room was as expected, but the AC only works based on the external temperature. There's a notice in the room that if it drops below 20 degrees OUTSIDE, the AC will no longer cool the air (but it will still heat if you want it to! Make it make sense). The room was comfortably cool when we checked in, but when we arrived back at the room at midnight, after it had been 30+ degrees all day, it was sweltering and too hot to sleep in, and the AC is now inactive, because of the temperature elsewhere. Surely good AC should be based on the temperature inside the room it is trying to cool? Don't stay here during a heatwave. I gave up trying to sleep at about 5am and checked out.

Dear Joe C., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at ibis Bristol Centre. I sincerely regret to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly concerning the air conditioning in your room. It is disappointing to hear that the room temperature affected your ability to rest and sleep during your stay and I would like to apologise for this taking place. I encourage our guests to reach out to our front desk team for assistance during their stay, as we are always here to help and can provide additional fans or alternative solutions to enhance your comfort. Kind regards, Tiago Gonçalves Assistant General Manager
