Just got back from a week in Stresa and can highly recommend the Bristol hotel. I, like other reviewers, was concerned by some of the reports posted on this site but cannot understand why they were so negative. The hotel location is perfect - easy walk into town but not right in the middle of it, staff very pleasant indeed... more

Stayed at this hotel for 3nts in July in a Front lake view room which was simply stunning ! Great location just a short walk into the main resort of stresa. Good choice of bars , restaurants & shops. We had a car with us so had a good drive round the lake to some of the other resortsvwhich is... more

We went to the 'Bristol' for two weeks at the end of July 2008 and this was our third visit to this hotel.

Management may have accepted the booking of the tour groups (Trafalgar and Globus were there at the same time as... more

I took my elderly mother for what she described as her final swan song.(my mother is 87) It should have been a holiday filled with wonderful memories, unfortunately all we seem to recount is how terrible the evening meal was. If it hadnt been for the exellent cheese board I think iI would have been the first holiday I have... more

My daughter and I went for one week, and took my 2 grand daughters, aged one & two. Our room was absolutely beautiful. It was huge, with 2 balconies overlooking the lake. The lady who looked after our room was great. The outside pool was very cold, and there is no longer a childrens pool. The indoor pool was very... more
