We got in late on the first night and didn't expect to have a selection of cold foods to eat when we got in which was very much appreciated. We had the balcony sea view room and honestly I don't think you could get a better view to wake up to. The shutters were also a god send (first time to a sunny abroad place so I don't know if this is standard). The room was a little too cool for me at the beginning but I got used to this very quickly and appreciated it when it was already 20 degrees by 7am. Room service kept the room clean every day. The beds were firm but that was perfect for us, the only issue was the twin beds moving apart overnight which meant my elbow were often between the beds in the morning but a minor issue with how everything else was The staff were all so friendly, polite and helpful. Shout out to Luca for being an excellent host, making us feel comfortable and at home. The food was spot on. I had a saffron risotto rice at one point and I've not stopped talking about it haha! You can choose to have a lunch or a dinner with breakfast. Oh the breakfast was so good too. I had meat, cheese, cakes/tarts with fresh orange or lemon juice every day. The pool was a little too cold when we had a dip to the point the my partner had to get out pretty soon after getting in as his lips were turning blue but if you really wanted the swim it really isn't far from the beach to dip in the Med. All in all, I can not fault the service provided by the hotel staff. I am just a bit gutted that we forgot to visit the garden! I've never stayed in a 5 star hotel but damn Hotel Bristol should be.
