Dinner
However, the hotel does face some criticisms in dining services. There are no options for à la carte dinner in the hotel restaurant, leading to disappointment for guests wishing to dine in. The lack of a bar and limited availability of fast food or pizza are noted as areas needing improvement. Additionally, some reviews mention that meal servings can be small and staffing at the pool for lunch is inadequate.
Despite these drawbacks, the overall quality of dinner served at the hotel has been well-received with many guests noting the very good food provided. Yet, the service can sometimes feel rushed, especially in the restaurant and breakfast area where efficiency seems to overshadow a relaxed dining experience. An interesting suggestion from guests was to organize a nighttime pool bath accompanied by an aperitif, indicating that they would appreciate more engaging and luxurious dining experiences.
Rooms
The rooms are generally seen as well-maintained with room cleaning consistently highlighted as excellent. A few reviews point out that while the rooms appear larger in photos, they are much smaller in reality, leading to some expectations management issues. Additionally, some balconies, although offering pleasant views, are described as very small, sometimes affecting the overall room experience negatively.
In summary, Hotel Bristol's rooms are clean, comfortable and equipped with modern amenities, even though some may feel a bit small or dated. The positive elements such as cleanliness, nice views and practical design make them a good choice for a beachside stay, provided the space constraints are acceptable.
Beds
However, several guests have mentioned some discomforts. The mattresses were often described as hard with a few reviews noting that they were among the most uncomfortable beds experienced. Beds in some rooms were reported to be too short and narrow, particularly the single and twin beds, which led to a less than ideal sleeping experience. The use of two single beds instead of a double bed in some rooms was a recurring source of dissatisfaction, as the gap between the mattresses was uncomfortable.
While some guests found the pillows too hard and noted issues like mattresses sinking on one side, others appreciated the general comfort and warmth of the beds. Overall, while there are commendable aspects of the bedding provided, it appears that some improvements are needed to ensure a consistently high level of comfort for all guests.
Cleanliness
Guests appreciate the thorough and prompt cleaning services, ensuring any minor issues are quickly addressed. The commitment to hygiene, including adherence to COVID-19 measures, adds to the sense of security and comfort. The hotel's aesthetic may be slightly outdated, but it remains in good condition, adding to the overall clean and cozy ambiance.
