Nothing grand about this hotel, seemed last renovated in the 1989s. Shabby and old fashioned. First out in an attic cupboard with 3 single beds. Requested change. Facilitated by grumpy receptionist. Next room similar, but thankfully not an attic. Pool like a holiday camp.

Good hotel
Enjoyable stay. Room good with a side lake view. The breakfast was slightly disappointing. However the evening meal that we had in the hotel restaurant was excellent.

In general had a good stay. Staff were very helpful and the room was fine. Breakfast wasn't that great though and definitely overpriced at 25 Euros.

My daughter left her school book in the hotel room and we had to catch an early train to make our flight. I called the hotel and asked them what I should do and they said stay on the train and we will mail the book and they did!!!! Excellent place to stay and mind blowing customer service!!!

Grand Hotel Bristol was in such a great location, very walkable to shops and restaurants and right on the water. We came to Stresa for a wedding that was only about a 4 minute drive from the hotel. Stresa is such a beautiful timeless little town and the hotel displayed Italian classic decor. The staff was friendly and you could say that the inside was 'dated' but it was still beautiful. Our room had a lake view with a small balcony as well. My only complaint would be that the mattress and pillows were a little firm but all in all this hotel was exactly what we were looking for.

This is very convenient hotel near train station and has fantastic view. I used to like Capri and Amalfi but after visiting Stresa and Lakes I think this is best town to visit and relax and enjoy the beauty

We had requested a quiet room and were given one just above front entrance. On request they changed the room but you could hear all the bathrooms near by. We felt that for the price we paid the little things were missing- only plastic glasses, one waste bin, very poor hand towels

Nice hotel but noisy due to road traffic
Noisy from main street and surrounding hotels. A bit corporate, several meetings going on limiting access to some areas of the hotel.

What a beautiful hotel and location. The reception staff were amazing, so friendly, nice and accommodating. The breakfast staff and food were wonderful. A great selection of foods and the view in the outside seating was gorgeous. The outdoor pool was beautiful and the inside of the hotel was stunning. They even had a little train that took you from the indoor pool to close to the reception, sort of a sideways elevator. My room was gorgeous with a view of the Lake and a balcony with flower boxes and wrought iron chairs and table. A great place to stay.

Nice hotel with fabulous views, close to the Lake
We had a relaxing and wonderful stay at this hotel. Great location, easy walk to the town, cable car, boat hire etc. The upholstery in our room was tired and the bath didn’t fit the space and leaked at one end but we didn’t really notice as the view and balcony were so spectacular. Reception staff were a bit cold, unlike the waiting staff who were lovely. Pool was gorgeous. Would definitely return. There’s a bit of faded glory about the place.

A return to the grand tour
To visit Stresa is to peek back at what tourism was for our Edwardian ancestors on their grand tours. The promenade alongside Lake Maggiore is lined by grand hotels the first of which is the Bristol. Inside the Bristol you are transported back to a modernised version of that kind of hotel. Grand is the word, but looking at its neighbouring hotel, not the grandest. This was an enjoyable experience and I would repeat it willingly.The situation is magnificent, they have used shrubbery to carefully screen the garage and the swimming pool area for increased privacy and to improve The facade.
