The hotel is close to the park and the view is magnificent. The location is perfect for exploring the town and enjoying the springs. The hotel is in the heart of the old city and very close to the colonnades, excellent restaurants and cafes. Some guests had difficulty finding the hotel, as it is in a restricted traffic area. The hotel rooms and facilities are spread out in different buildings, which can be confusing, but guests praise the hotel's quiet location, considering the nearby film festival. Overall, the location of the hotel is superb and ideal for tourists and business travelers.

Breakfast

The breakfast at Hotel Bristol has received mixed reviews from guests. Some found it to be good with a great selection of food, while others deemed it a catastrophe and not worthy of a 4-star hotel.

Rooms
