Grand Hotel Bristol

Beautiful location, decent breakfast

Very nice experience

Lovely town, decent location. Enjoyed our stay. Too many tours using facility.

Amazing amazing every aspect of our stay would definitely stay here again!!!

Great hotel, location

Poor service by the pool and too expensive for drinks (outside its much cheaper). Can't also understand why it's such a problem to have an iron, simply to charge us extra for an ironing service. We also got 'upgraded' to a pool view which meant we had no balcony and had to climb stairs once we entered our room, hardly ideal for my obviously pregnant wife.

Some 500 yards along the promenade from the town centre, an elegantly appointed hotel rewardingly old-fashioned in décor, fresh and immaculately clean. TV in many languages. Wi-Fi is free and reliable but needs re-registration twice daily. An indoor pool is always a useful back-up. The outdoor pool is very pleasant, with grassy areas around, and colourful flower-beds. I would ask the staff to add a No-Smoking rule around the pool (or restrict smoking to an outer corner of the garden), since smoke drifts down onto the water and impedes those trying to swim properly. A separate area could be created for those merely wishing to splash! Shade becomes somewhat limited as the sun moves into the afternoon: perhaps the umbrellas should be moved a little. Buy an all-inclusive ticket to allow entrance without queueing to (2 of the 3) Borromean Islands – which should be more enjoyable early, before the crowds. Check in advance on the somewhat infrequent connections to/from Malpensa Airport: though the hotel can reserve bus return tickets from the very gates.

Lovely setting + close to facilities + transport connections. Would have scored 'excellent' but we had to wait at the railway station for nearly one hour waiting for the pre-arranged taxi transfer booked by the hotel (they forgot) + were told there would be an extra charge for a cot put in the room with one adult. Told staff it was agreed at no cost which they then agreed and did not charge. Our two rooms with mountain views were OK but the view was between two wings of the hotel. Overall - staff were friendly and professional but Allissia on Reception was exceptionally helpful. We would return

Brilliant central hotel. Yes you have to pay a lot for breakfast and parking but if you just want a bedroom in a stunning hotel with a lovely pool, right in the centre then you can't complain for the price. We were at the back in a triple room but we were still very happy.

I booked a superior room but got a very normal one with low ceiling and poor sunlight. One receptionist said that high floor gives the room the definition of superior while another one said that it is that because of the furniture. I don't know what is true. In addition I noticed only after booking that this high price did not include breakfast
