Grand Hotel Bristol

Overall:

"If you are first timers, like we were, and in need of clean, quite, 4 star plus service, this is the best value in the area I'd recommend." — source Venere

"Overall Stresa is one of the nicest places we have visited and the Grand Hotel Bristol one of the best hotels we have stayed in." — source Venere

Service:

"This would have would have been our best experience ever but for the following: · Antonio your maitre d’ was kind and gracious, but very rushed · Concierge services were sorely missing (and therefore a source of revenue for the hotel) · our room was too tiny, and finally · "nickel dimeing" guests a nightly fee for parking is tacky and way beneath the stature of your hotel." — source Venere

"A nice balance between good, discreet service & efficiency." — source Venere

"Un service déplorable et incompétant." — source Venere

Room:

"We were given a Mountain View room at the 4th floor, there was only one simple problem that we've faced but might be very considerable to others, the problem is the Big Glass Recycle Garbage, unfortunately the hotel staff is using this Garbage to throw all types of glass which causes very loud noise, I wish that the hotel administration move this Recycle Garbage to another place." — source Venere

"I never seen such narrow and small rooms where you have to select either you enter in the room without your luggages and you can't move or you keep your luggages outside." — source Venere

"Our room was at the back of the hotel and became very noisy late at night - presumeably staff taking breaks (closing the balcony doors helped considerably)." — source Venere

"For a hotel in this category, the room was a bit small and the breakfast buffet leaves some room for improvement." — source Venere

"My only small concern was that our room was on the "bad" side of the hotel, no view on the Borrommees Islands." — source Venere
