    The staff were genuinely friendly, the concierge team went out of their way to assist, and the rooms were clean and fresh. The pool and spa facilities were also top-notch and made for a truly relaxing stay.

    The rooms are beginning to show their age and could benefit from some slight refurbishment.

    10NigelPosted on: 7-15-2025

    Hotel Bristol is glorious! The hotel itself is stunningly beautiful and our room and an amazing view over the bay. The pool is luxurious. They are incredibly well staffed and the staff are super helpful. There is a shuttle bus into town but it is also a very pleasant walk. Definitely one of my favorite hotels in Italy.

    I loved it all

    10YvesPosted on: 6-9-2025

    Location was great with easy access to Portofino and Cinque Terre. It is also facing south with sun on the pool most of the day. Sea view was great. Cleanliness of the facilities and the bedrooms was outstanding. Breakfast was a feast. We got bespoke advice from the concierge to visit Portofino and Cinque Terre: we were able to avoid most of the crowds while walking on not so known trails with breathtaking views.

    All this did not come cheap!

    10KitijaPosted on: 4-27-2025

    This hotel exceeded all expectations.The bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep.Breakfast was a true gourmet experience, offering an exquisite selection and thoughtfully catering to guests with lactose, egg, and gluten intolerances.The interior design was both elegant and contemporary, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.The outdoor pool area was beautifully designed, offering a serene and luxurious environment.The spa was spacious, featuring a variety of saunas and relaxation zones, and the massage service was of the highest quality.Dinner was equally impressive, providing an exclusive and memorable culinary experience.Highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort, style, and exceptional service.

    The air conditioning unit in the room is malfunctioning due to the hotel’s policy of not opening it from the main system, despite the relatively mild weather conditions. Consequently, the windows must be left open, which exacerbates the noise pollution emanating from the road, which is situated close to the hotel. Furthermore, the room lacks soundproofing, resulting in an incessant echo of sounds from outside. Additionally, the room’s cleanliness falls short of the 5-star standard, as dust particles are prevalent throughout the space.

    Everything was excellent from the Staff to the cleanliness, breakfast, rooms.Loved this Hotel.

    10Amyvic2002Posted on: 10-28-2024

    We loved this hotel! The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for you. The welcome drink and focaccia with pesto on the terrace was a lovely touch as was the free shuttle into town. The views from the restaurant / terrace and from our room were breath taking. The spa was a great addition for a rainy morning activity - good facilities and immaculately clean.We visited out of season so sadly the roof top restaurant was closed but will hopefully be back next summer!

    5RobertoPosted on: 9-21-2024

    The view and the breakfast

    Poor soundproofing in the rooms and loose tiles on the bathroom floor.

    9TatdaPosted on: 8-19-2024

    Good service, good selection of breakfast, love the Prosecco welcoming drinks and in our room.

    Shower in a bathtub is not convenient and dangerous. Water splashed out and wet the floor.

    10EmanPosted on: 8-16-2024

    The staff , rooms facilities, swimming pool , services , the location and the view . Amazing place to stay .

    9JuliaPosted on: 8-4-2024

    Great breakfast, the swimming pool are was amazing to soak up the sun and staff were very kind and friendly

    8KHALIDPosted on: 7-31-2024

    amazing view on the lake .. excellent housekeeping for the room cleaning .. private beach (they will drive you there and not walking distance!).. staff overall very nice .. AC is excellent

    Very poor dinner restaurant and not much variety in the food (not 5-start at all !!).. breakfast ok and not that great and running around and barely covering the customers.. standard room has one of the smallest showers in the world ?

    8ElainePosted on: 7-24-2024

    the hotel was beautiful, loved all the art work

    we were very disappointed with the shower in the room. we felt the bathroom was badly designed with a huge sink and extremely small shower cubicle. the shower was almost unusable due to its size, position of taps and the hand held shower outlet.

    7MonikaPosted on: 7-22-2024

    Confortable beads, nice spa

    No snacks, ice-cream, etc at the pool

    10ManalPosted on: 7-17-2024

    The hotel is excellent in its services and the staff are very wonderful and honest, whether at the gate, the reception, or at breakfast, as well as in the spa, and they are ready to provide any type of service you request. The view is very beautiful in the breakfast restaurant.

    8JoPosted on: 7-14-2024

    Fantastic views and facilities ??

    Bathroom was absolutely tiny - I shudder to think how anyone with a BMI on the higher side would actually fit into the shower! Shuttle bus was a good service but needs to run more frequently.
