    Spent 5 days in this magnificent hotel, it was wonderful. I booked the smallest room with garden view, but i was really surprised at my check-in that i've been upgraded to the suite with sea view and balcony ! Very good and friendly staff, the whole spa area is superb and relaxing, food is really good, i loved my trip to Rapallo ! Thanks to all Grand Hôtel Bristol staff, I will definitely comeback

    Wow ! What a spectacular property - literally defining what true five star personal service and luxury is all about. From the beautiful setting to the tasteful appointments to the super attentive staff, everything about the Grand Hotel Bristol was truly extraordinary. We had an amazing stay and will definitely return soon!

    I do not really wish to be too negative bit I feel the hotel is not 5 star in certain aspects such as The hotel entrance/driveway need to be enhanced,it gives a bad 1st impression of a very impressive building,the wifi did not work for 3 days we stayed,the outside swimming pool was not open.A 5star hotel should have a heated pool. Balcony is tiny with no furniture The breakfast was only ok. The location of the hotel is a 15 min walk from town centre,thankfully there is bus stop outside.

    Beautifully decorated hotel.Very nice bedrooms with great bathroom and very comfortable beds.Staff very nice and genuine,warm and enthusiastic,well trained and eager to please guests,deffo 5 star staff,.Spa staff especially nice. The Spa was the best I have ever used in any hotel and will be hard to find a better one.Also no charge to use which is a great feature.There is a bus stop outside the hotel,taxis are dear in Rapallo. We didnt use restaurants in the hotel.

    - no access to spa /pool till 16y.o. Agree and understand the concept of relaxation without kids, but would be great to get at least certain hours in the mrng to access with ado kids, especially during cold months. -need taxi for the resto

    One of the best hotel option in the area. Very nice people working there, appreciated help Of Consierge service which gave us top resto option and helped to book dinner

    Rain, but that’s not your fault. Rooms were elegant and clean and well appointed but somewhat dated. A tad out of town, but the amenities more than made up for it

    Lovely common areas, classic and elegant feel, wonderful vibe, attentive and friendly staff, amazing view, somewhat easy walk into town, easy parking, top notch spa facilities. Room balcony had a panoramic view of town and the ocean. Wonderful breakfast offering with an amazing sea view. Such a nice touch to offer dog beds, food and water bowls and food treats. They felt like pampered pooches. The welcome drinks, Prosecco and sweet treats and complementary mini bar along with a hand written note made us feel very welcomed.

    all in all, we are not sure if the price/performance ratio is really right. Compared to other hotels in the same category, we had the impression that the price here is at the upper end of the scale.

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. The view of the sea from the terrace and the pool area is exciting and the spa is realy great. Also the parking/the garage for cars is realy good and save. The food in the two restaurants did not quite meet our expectations. The fassade of the hotel needs maybe a light refreshment.
