Bristol Praia do Canto

Rooms are in serious need of refurbishment. The air conditioning was repaired with sellotape, painting was old and so were the bathroom tiles and shower box.

I had a disappointing stay at this hotel. The room conditions were far below acceptable standards. The room and cabinet doors showed significant signs of water damage and were deteriorating, which gave the space a neglected feel. Additionally, there was an unpleasant smell in the room that lingered throughout my stay, making it hard to feel comfortable. To make matters worse, the soundproofing was non-existent—every noise from the hallway and adjacent rooms was audible, leading to restless nights. For the price and expectation of a decent stay, this was a major letdown. I would not recommend this hotel unless these issues are addressed.

Avoid booking this hotel. The standard is poor, with outdated, worn-out furnishings and rust in the shower. I stayed in room 1056, which is on the top floor and faces the bar – many guests have pointed out that this is a significant problem. One morning, I woke up to find my entire room filled with smoke due to grilling at the bar. I went to the reception and was given a different room, but no compensation was offered for the ruined night. This hotel hardly deserves its three-star rating and should not be allowed to operate under the Ibis name. If you are someone who drinks every day and comes back drunk, this hotel might suit you. Otherwise, it is impossible to get a good night’s sleep with all the noise around. A hotel is meant for sleeping and receiving good service. Here, you get neither. 1. Worn and rusty interior: Many guests have noted that the rooms and bathrooms are worn out, with rust in the shower and furniture that has seen better days. 2. Noisy location: Rooms facing the bar are extremely noisy, especially at night, making it difficult to sleep. The noise from the bar and surrounding area is unbearable. 3. Poor service: Several reviews mention that the staff is poorly trained and the service level is low. Issues are not resolved efficiently, and compensation is rarely offered. 4. Inadequate cleaning: There have been reports of insufficient room cleaning, with dirty sheets and towels not being replaced regularly. 5. Smoke issues: Besides the problem with smoke from the bar, guests have complained about the smell of smoke in the rooms from other guests smoking on balconies or nearby. In summary, Ibis Praia de Canto has several recurring issues that prevent it from meeting the expectations for a hotel in this category. I expect compensation from Ibis in the near future for the inconvenience caused.
