Hotel Bristol

This beautiful hotel has been the absolute favourite of my daughter and I since we has our first :Girly:long weekend there in September last year. So perfect was it that we returned again this year, and what began as a :one off: looks very much like becoming an annual event.It is impossible to highlight the good points, as everything about it is fabulous,from the luxurious ritzy feel of everywhere with deep comfy classy upholstery, and elegant decor(if you are into white leather and stainless steel this is definitely not for you), to the beautiful italian tiles on the floor to the glorious enormous sun terrace with its tropical plants and comfy loungers. From every point in the hotel ,be it the garden with its lemon trees ,and the huge refreshing blue pool, the dining room,bar and every bedroom you will have the most breathtaking and perfect view in Sorrento of the lovely Bay of Naples.So beautiful is this, that some times you really do have to tear yourself away, to visit the many other wonderful sights that this our favourite part of Italy has on its doorstep.The breakfast buffet is second to none,with hot food, eggs ,bacon and so on cooked to order,and a mouthwatering selection of cakes and pastries,and a glorious array of fresh fruit,the peaches were the best Ive ever eaten.Dinner is a real occasion,as the dining room is so elegant with crisp white cloths ,and you will be showed to a table by a tuxedoed Maitre D''.All sorts of anti pasti is served buffet style,with a la carte choices for starter, main and dessert,What ever you chjoose will be especially prepared so arrives at the table piping hot,traditional and absolutely delicious Italian food,superbly prepared using the finest quality ingredients.We enjoyed everything from duck a i'orange, to entrecote steak, and the finest seafood and fish.We were never tempted to dine out, as I am sure that finer food in a lovelier setting with more glorious views could be found anywhere.However, I would like to mention now the Bristols most important and very special asset, the generous, warm kind and genuinely caring staff We have always had nothing but admiration for them, but never more than this year,when we arrived at the hotel to find that my daughters suitcase was not on the transfer coach.The driver was totally unhelpful and we were beginning then to feel rather uneasy, when up stepped dear Salvatore,our knight in shining armour,and saved the day.He took the matter completely out of our hands,calmly telling us that he would get to the bottom of it.,To cut a long story short, the very careless driver had not put it on the coach in the first place, but left it in the middle of the coachpark at Naples Airport where some very kind person(thankyou so very much whoever you are) had handed it to TUI. so alls well, that ends well, thanks to dear kind Salvatore, who like the rest of the staff never think twice if they think they can help.Our sincere and very grateful thanks to all our friends at this magnificent place, to the owner for his kindness and concern,to Vincenzo and Gaetano,for their warmth and fun. If you are thinking of visiting Sorrento the Bristol hotel truly has everything,charm,style and the most generous hospitality. We cant wit to return. God Bless you and thankyou. Ann and Emma Clark.

The hotel is brilliant - amazing views, great location, good food, and a really nice pool area. And apart from a mess-up on check-in, the staff were all lovely too. However, while our room was good and the views from it even better, I'd ask to avoid the second floor if I stayed again. When we got there, we were given room 208. Walking in, the first thing that hit us was the horrible damp smell... though the surprise of this was soon beaten by the fact that our room looked a mess - it obviously hadn't been cleaned since the last guests. We went to reception to ask about this, where we were informed that it was our fault for checking in early. How silly of us. Fortunately, they soon realised that it was actually their mistake and we should have been in 203, where the bed was made, but the smell was just as bad, if not worse. The hotel was full, so we ended up coping with this by opening all doors for ten minutes before bed. It stank again by the next morning, but at least it only crept up on us in our sleep. And to be fair, we actually slept really well - floor 2 is very close to the street and so the balcony is unfortunately very loud and polluted, but the patio doors, shutters and air con all meant we didn't hear a thing. Smells and noise aside, we had a really good stay - everything else was spot on, including the evening meal which was very good each night. We got a last minute half-board deal and expected to not bother eating at the hotel most of the time, but we ended up eating there every night. So yep - I'd come back, but only if I could definitely avoid the second floor.

This place was absolutely amazing, the views are stunning and can be seen from all over the hotel. The hotel is literally a walk downhill from the main part of Sorrento so really easy to get to and from by foot. It also overlooks the Marina Grande which is a nice little cove with fresh fish restaurants on the sea. The roof bar in the hotel is a wonderful place to sit in an evening overlooking Sorrento and Naples and the bar staff are super friendly. We stayed in a sea view room and it did not disappoint, the views stretched for miles and there was a table and two sun beds to relax at and soak up the scenery. The staff were SO friendly and welcoming in particular we were welcomed and looked after by Salvatore who was the loveliest person we met. He was so helpful and really made our experience feel special. When we arrived he allowed us into our room early as the previous guests had already left which we were super grateful for. It’s safe to say we were sad to leave and would love to return again one day. 100% would recommend, thank you for an amazing experience Hotel Bristol!
