Holiday Inn Bristol Filton, an IHG Hotel

When I first arrived I was a little worried as from the outside look run down but as I stepped into the hotel wow amazing clean and total different appearance. Check in was quick but to see Naima leaning on the back wall of reception on a mobile phone I didn’t really feel was very appealing and she seemed like she really didn’t want to be there. The moment I stepped into my room I was shocked so spotlessly clean,lovely to have biscuits,crisps and chocolate bar and water in the room thought this was a lovely touch.I booked a sofa bed room which I had but unfortunately it wasn’t made up so I went to reception spoke to Kavin who just said I’ll get it sorted again I think staff on reception need be re trained.I headed back to my room and within seconds of getting there I had a knock on my door from housekeeping as I opened the door I was greeted by Joanne who introduced herself as housekeeping supervisor and apologised for the misunderstanding reguarding the sofabed and that she would would set it up for me,which she did straight away whilst having a lovely conversation with me such a smiley,happy,friendly welcoming lady and whilst leaving she once again apologised to me and asked me if there was anything else she could do for me and hope we have a lovely stay. Had a lovely evening meal a great nights sleep and a lovely stay will definitely return. Please just consider the staff on reception !

Arrived in the evening and to be honest I thought the hotel looked a bit run down from the outside however, do not let this put you off. It’s quite modern inside, the rooms are clean and quite large with friendly and attentive staff. The onsite gym and pool is also a massive bonus, as is the extremely nice restaurant. Had a lovely stay!!!!

Stayed here in October and November and it's a pleasure to see the hotel has been updated and the rooms are fresh and modern. Reception staff are professional and friendly and checkin was a breeze . Only issues I experienced on both of my stays relate to the heating this appears to turn itself off after a set period which unfortunately means in the morning you wake to a cold room , This happened during both stays in different rooms on different levels , I understand energy saving but the coldest months are coming and waking to a cold room isn't great . The pillows are also not the thickest and for me they could do with improvement they feel like they've bought a value range of pillows . The food within the restaurant and bar is the normal Hotel fair but I found the portions to be large and the food well prepared and tasty . When I need to stay in Bristol again I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again apart from the heating the hotel is perfectly adequate for a few nights stay in a clean and fresh hotel

Really is a Shame that it was used as an immigrant hotel! If we had known this we would have booked elsewhere, I would definitely avoid this hotel. Customers need to be made aware of this sort of thing this will forever known as a rest stop hotel for,,,,

The hotel has been recently refurbished in many areas, and the room was therefore very clean and fresh, with excellent blackout curtains for a good night’s sleep. Huge wall-mounted TV, but a shame that for some reason it switched on by itself in the middle of the night (and whilst it was a good quality smart TV, it hadn’t been properly set up, so the available BBC iPlayer app hadn’t been installed - which is a technical oversight I think). The bathroom was a good size, but the shower pressure was fairly weak. The long corridor from reception to the bedroom block at the rear could do with some interior design treatment - as it stands, with its stark white walls, no artwork, and clinically harsh lighting, it felt like a hospital corridor! Hopefully this will be improved as the refurbishment continues. Breakfast was fine, with a reasonable continental selection, but undercooked bacon and very greasy fried eggs. Nice to see teapots available for the self-service hot drinks. The orange juice was really poor quality (more like highly diluted orange squash, actually). The £5 charge for parking was a minor irritation (I’d expect to pay for parking at a city centre hotel, but not for a hotel in a suburban location where space is really not at a premium). Overall, a fairly good choice for a hotel on the outskirts of Bristol, but could do with a bit more attention to detail in some areas.

Great place to stay if visiting Bristol , very close to motorway network . Nice friendly helpful staff , good buffet breakfast to start your day , ample car parking at £5 a day , nearby bus stop and train station (walking distance) to take you into Bristol center and good pub food , The Fox Den , on site...........
