Wonderful.

The hotel was outstanding. Beautiful room. Best breakfast buffet I have ever had at a hotel. Absolutely delicious. Our friends who were traveling with us concurred and we are all seasoned travelers.

Poor customer service

  • • I have stayed at Hotel Bristol many times before, and have usually had good experiences. Therefore, I was extra disappointed with the reception this time. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my ID, and I understand that they must ask for identification. What I reacted to was not the rule, but how the situation was handled. I became stressed when I couldn't find my ID, and when I asked if I could go get it from work and come back, I received no clear or friendly message. The receptionist seemed rigid and unaccommodating, and I ended up just leaving. Only after I sent a message did I find out that I could return with my ID. By then, I already had such a bad feeling about the situation that I chose to cancel my stay. This could have been easily resolved with a little clarity and friendliness: 'It's completely fine, go get your ID and come back, and we'll sort it out.' I don't expect routines to be set aside, but good customer service is also about how you communicate when a guest ends up in a stressful situation. After this experience, I am unfortunately unsure if I will book with Hotel Bristol again. I don't think so. I value good customer service. Super important.

Ruined by thumping music for most of the night.

Reception welcome was good and the reception staff were lovely. The breakfast buffet was good.

  • • I have waited a week for a response to my complaint (to which I have had none) before posting this review in the hope that it might have been remedied. Let this be a cautionary tail to you before you book! The hotel hosted a wedding during our stay. The music was so loud that our possessions and some of the furniture in the room were vibrating with the bass. I went down to reception at 23:30 to complain and was told alongside multiple other unhappy guests that it would continue until 01:30. This was also not true. I asked for a refund of the night we were unable to sleep and was told to email the manager. I've not had a response other than a message through booking.com to thank me for my understanding. Well, there was no understanding - before, during or afterwards. All I know is that we did not sleep and that I would like a refund for the night where the disturbance was significant and according to Norwegian's equivalent of trading standards / consumer laws, we were sold a room to be able to sleep in which due to a known event, we were unable to sleep in and were not offered an alternative. If you want a restful stay, do NOT stay here.
