Hotel carino, credo restaurato da poco. Camere ampie e pulite. Servizio parcheggio ottimo e disponibile 7 gg su 7 , 24 ore su 24 . La sua posizione centrale di un quartiere popolare, ti facilita gli spostamenti sia a piedi con con l’auto. Personale molto accogliente e sempre disponibile. Non disponibile ristorante/bar presso la struttura , e per tale motivo , difronte al bancone della reception trovi una sorta di scaffale con esposti tutti i tipi di cibi pronti da riscaldare con annesso microonde affianco.(puoi trovarci anche la lasagna o i maccheroni al formaggio 😂). Lo stesso vale se hai voglia di un caffè o una bevanda calda. Sempre nella hall dell’hotel trovi una macchinetta dove puoi trovare tutto. Ecco , questa “mancanza” o questo “fai da te” non mi ha particolarmente entusiasmato . Per il resto l’hotel è super consigliato anzi, da ritornarci sicuramente .

After a complicated arrival due to a rude attitude from the valet, Robert completely turned my experience around. He was outstanding, attentive, and genuinely made me feel that guests do matter at The Bristol Hotel. The hospitality business truly needs more people like Robert. Thanks to him, I left with a positive impression, and I will definitely be coming back soon 👏👏

The staff is awesome. Great location. It’s my new fave hotel in the gaslamp. Don’t have food at the hotel but there’s plenty of places to eat all around the neighborhood.
