Excellent hotel in a great location. Rapallo a short walk away with many restaurants. The hotel staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel’s two restaurants serve great food in an ideal setting looking out across the bay. Would throughly recommend.

8/10 Very good

Good Value for the area and close to Portofino

Great hotel for the price. Service and food was a bit sub par. Didn't try the Michelin restaurant on top but other food choices were limited. Pool and a bit of the decor is slightly dated.

Lovely stay at Grand Hotel Bristol

Mix up in reservation (app's fault) which was sorted out by the reception and Manish at Hotels.com. The property is beautiful with lovely views over the sea. Staff were lovely and they send a car to drop and collect you from the town centre on request which came in very handy. Breakfast was very good with a live chef station and great selection (prosecco available!). What sets this hotel apart is the simply STUNNING spa - I haven't seen such an amazing indoor pool maybe ever. Beautifully maintained and very enjoyable couple of hours just chilling. Had an amazing massage as well. Definitely would stay here again if we find ourselves in the area

We loved that we were given a room upgrade without asking.The hotel is beautiful, although a bit far from the town center.It was a 20 minute walk,5 minute cab ride.The exercise was good.We could enjoy our delicious breakfast,included, without guilt.

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic

Couldn't be happier with my one night stay. Staff almost TOO attentive as they couldn't do enough for me, it was really nice as they also remembered me and my room number when going to breakfast or into the spa. Those little details make a stay that bit nicer. Room was very nice. Great views across the bay, welcome chocolate treats and complimentary mini bar (soft drinks only). The spa is amazing. A maze almost of different rooms and 'attractions'. More than just a sauna, steam room and pool. The pool has music and some incredible paradisical drone footage on a projector. Lovely warm pool with submerged Jacuzzi beds at the end. The self service tea room was great too with loads on offer with nuts as snacks and seats to relax. Breakfast buffet was good as far as buffets go. View from the breakfast room was lovely anyway but can imagine it's incredible in better weather. Wasn't able to use the outdoor pool as it was sadly raining for most of my stay.
James, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I had booked this hotel for a treat for the wife. We were driving from Nice. However due to a rental car issue we could not make it on the day. We called expedia mid afternoon to ask if it could be cancelled and refunded. Very helpful they agreed to talk to the hotel. Hotel said they needed managers approval. So 24 hours later the manager declined and charged us full amount despite our car issues and appeal. Running a luxury hotel is just as much about customer care and friendly service as the facilites. We have been to many great places where managers and customers services have been very friendly and corteous. With this hotel and manager we are very very disapointed. Manager may well refer to booking policy but that’s beyond the point. With a single refusal to refund he has tainted an otherwise well reviewed hotel

Hôtel dans lequel je séjourne régulièrement depuis des années pour un week-end détente. J’adore cet endroit, son personnel et son spa! Le fait que l’hôtel soit un peu excentré ne me dérange pas. Cela me permet de faire une petite promenade pour aller dîner en ville le soir.

Bra läge, vackert med hög service

Otroligt vackert hotell med fantastisk frukost och oerhört hög grad av service. Bra gym och restaurang på hotellet. Mycket bra och snyggt poolområde. Gillade strandpromenaden ner till Rapallo som kantades av mysiga hus och restauranger. Vi hade rum mot sidan ”delvis havsutsikt” - hade jag bokat igen hade jag valt havsutsikt. Liten badplats bara några minuters promenad bort. Även om jag gillade det mycket, så tycker jag vi har fått mer för pengarna på andra ställen. Minus: Exteriören på hotellets baksida, där även entrén var, samt lobbyn hade en helt annan stil som tyvärr inte passade in. Kändes 80-tal och icke inbjudande.

Firouzeh, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

While the check-in staff at this hotel was very friendly—a glimmer of hope at first—it was all downhill from there. The dining experience was a disaster from start to finish: we ate three meals at the hotel, and each one was worse than the last. They never honored our reservation times, and on one occasion, we waited a full hour before anyone even took our order for lunch. The restaurant staff were completely disorganized and inattentive, and the food & beverage director clearly doesn’t understand the basics of customer service. If that weren’t enough, I had booked and paid for a “Prestige Garden View” room, only to be given a room with a small, waist-high window—hardly the experience promised or expected. This hotel is poorly managed and fails to deliver on even the most basic expectations of a luxury property. Save your money and look elsewhere—there are far better options nearby that actually know how to treat their guests.
