Premier Inn Bristol Filton hotel - Bristol

clairecY8083HV

We booked knowing there was no breakfast, so that wasn’t an issue. The real problem was the heat. Our party had three rooms and all of us struggled — even with the window open all night, our room stayed at 35.4 degrees. The heater was turned off, yet it was unbearable and we couldn’t sleep. Floor-standing fans were in the bedrooms, but they were noisy, only moved the hot air around.||||We got back just before midnight and reception was unmanned, let ourselves in without problems. But as we got into bed we found only two pillows on the double bed with no extras in the room; I didn’t want to go back down to ask for more in case there was still nobody at reception.||||I’ve since seen on Tripadvisor that many others have raised the same issue about the temperature, but clearly nothing is being done. Location was handy for our event (entrance is hidden behind Starbucks), but overall this is the first Premier Inn I won’t be returning to.

The bedroom and bathroom were very clean, parking was free and the reception service was good. Unfortunately my room was far too hot to appreciate its other comforts - surprising as it hadn't been a particularly hot day, around 19 degrees. There's no aircon, and sleeping with the window open was not possible due to the constant traffic noise. I wasn't able to have breakfast there as the restaurant is currently closed. Overall the room was very over-priced considering the location and lack of amenities. For those with heavy luggage or who struggle with stairs, be aware that there is no lift.

Reasonably priced clean rooms. Comfortable bed.
Too hot in summertime. No aircon, Pedestal fan on full, and a window that only opens 4 inches results in a room that doesn't get any cooler than 27 degrees.

The room was 29 degrees with the window open and fan on. The outside temperature at night was 17, so an indoor increase of 12 degrees seems completely unreasonable and needless to say none of the family slept. We were on the second floor in room 47, and the whole top floor was like a sauna. If there is such a thing a great nights sleep guarantee then I hope I can be compensated.

Awful place to stay. Hotel located on the roundabout on the A38 and Link Road. Stuffy room and not possible to leave window open because of traffic noise. Was planning to extend stay but anywhere else would be better.

Its not acceptable to build a hotel so close to a main road and not have air conditioning...

Absolutely NOT recommended.

Official photo must have been taken from the middle of the roundabout...

Normal PI experience is good but Filton seems deserving of its poor reputation.Staff were largely disinterested, not unfriendly, but not helpful or welcoming. Rooms are super close/warm even on a cooler summers day at only 18C with the window open and the weak fan whirring away.
It is cheaper than the other Bristol PI hotels and now you know why.
It might be better in winter but in any warmer weather (17C+) it is an uncomfortable stay.

Shocking experience at the Filton site. It was unbearably hot in the hotel (not too hot outside). Then we were given a room with a window that didn't open more than a few Cm's. Opon explaining this to reception i was informed theres nothing they can do and they had already put an old short cabled fan in the room. This fan could get nowhere near the only partly opened window thus offering 0 help.||||We've used Premier inn's all over and this was by far the worst experience we've had... Oh and that's before the disgusting stains on the chair in the room.

If you want to shed some weight, book a room here. The rooms are like saunas. They do provide fans, but its like the saying "as much use as a chocolate teapot'. Staff were great and the location isn't bad.
