The Bristol Hotel San Diego

The staff are fantastic -- they are warm and welcoming. I really enjoy my interactions with everyone there. The valet service is great too. In general, the interaction with the staff is the best I have ever experienced. Location is great!

The facility is slightly disappointing -- the water takes a really long time to be warm enough to shower. The mattress and pillow are slightly on the softer end. I also don't like how they do "guest of the day" -- I think they hype up my expectation too much. Without the "guest of the day" thing, I probably have a normal expectation and will be happier.

The location is prime. You are within 15-20 minutes walking distance from Gaslamp District and Little Italy. It's around the corner from a bus stop and great coffee shops like Blue Bottle (for mainstream coffee lovers) or Golden Child (if you love local coffee shops). The rooms are big and clean. The bed and pillows are firm, which made it a good sleeping experience. The people working there are super nice and helpful. They were always attentive and very willing to give advice on anything or help with bags. Also, note: if you do get a room with a view of the wall, those rooms have a record player so bring records to play for ambiance. They have some there but I would recommend bringing some of your own music finds in the area to your room and listen there. AND they do have a registration process before you get there which is super convenient and cuts down the check in process time.

The convenience stores and Ralph's were like 15 minutes walking distance so if you didn't want to leave the premises to get items you might've missed during packing or get drinks/snacks, the hotel didn't have a store or vending machines onsite. The walls are paper thin in the hotel room where we could hear everyone talking or their TVs in the hotel rooms, when they walked through the hallways and when the elevator was going up and down. I wish our room had a microwave because we had leftovers we wanted to eat and stored them in the mini fridge. I also would've liked if there was an ATM onsite if they had valet so you could tip. It's an expectation that you will need to use valet so I got what was in the description for the stay but it would be nice to have had an alternative so you aren't paying $42 a day for valet.

- comodo per spostarsi e vicino all’aeroporto - camera spaziosa

- manca il servizio di colazione

The Room: -Towels were clean, bed sheets felt clean and cozy. Bed was okay firmness. -Bathroom seemed clean, but looks like it could be cleaner and smell better. -Furniture a little worn out but still functional and overall clean. -Primo King Room was nice, had a couch and two chairs. Spacious for the cost. Service: -Parking is Valet only. $42 (12/2025) for the day/Overnight, including 24/7 access to your car. You can call down to the front desk to request for your car to be brought to the front before heading down from your room, which was useful. -Staff was very friendly (front desk and valet) -Location was exceptional. Close to all the things we wanted to do.

-You are right next to a metro station. For some reason every time the train leaves the station it made a loud buzzing horn/alarm sound. It goes on even in the late hours of the night so I was frustratingly unable to sleep. Just take note of this if you are sensitive to sounds. -The shower head pressure was non-existent. With only 7 holes spraying out the water. Also the glass Shower door had a gap and water was getting all over the bathroom floor. -Standard TV cable, I wish there was Netflix or YouTube option.
