The hotel offered a blend of charm and luxury but was marred by noise issues from the elevators that affected my stay. The staff was generally helpful, and breakfast was a highlight with its variety. However, I had to deal with a frustrating room change that downgraded my experience considerably, which was disappointing. Overall, while the ambiance of the hotel is nice, my sleep was compromised, and I can't wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Our stay at the Grand Hotel Bristol was nothing short of spectacular! The hotel boasts incredible views overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and we felt pampered with the top-notch amenities. The staff members were consistently attentive and sincere, making our trip even more memorable. The breakfast buffet was truly delightful, offering a wonderful variety to start our day. While everything was largely perfect, we would have loved a bit more time to enjoy our visit.

I had a lovely stay with stunning views over the sea and Portofino that really enhanced my experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, always ready to assist. Breakfast was fantastic, with a variety of options to choose from, ensuring I started the day right. However, it's a bit inconvenient if you're hoping to enjoy the beach, as the nearest access requires a bit of a walk and lacks sandy spots. Overall, it's a great choice for a family holiday with some minor drawbacks in accessibility to the beach.

This hotel boasts stunning views of the Mediterranean, creating a beautiful backdrop for the stay. The dining experience is especially memorable, particularly at the rooftop restaurant. However, I encountered a few service issues that detracted from the experience, such as missed orders and a lack of proactive communication regarding dietary needs.
