Hotel Bristol

★★★★Independent · open all year

A 209-room four-star on Plaza Doctor Fleming, on the edge of the Old Town, open since 1969. Levante beach is 300 m away and Poniente 392 m. Location is what guests rate it for, and it scores higher than anything else they mention.

Our verdictBook it if you want to walk everywhere: the Old Town, both beaches and 108 bars within 300 m. The catch is a small pool with few loungers. Book on the hotel's own site: the safe is then free, with late check-out when available.
  • 209 rooms
  • 300 m to Levante beach
  • Free safe booking direct
  • Open all year
  • Triples with a terrace

Google Hotels asking prices, checked 16 Oct 2026: the lowest public rate per night, for 2 adults or 2 adults + 2 children (7 and 10). A week = 7 nights from Saturday. Town figures compare each hotel with itself across the year, then take the middle hotel, so winter closures do not skew them. School holidays: council-maintained schools (England: Kent and Birmingham; Scotland: Glasgow; Wales: Welsh Government). Package deals with flights price differently.

Reviews summary

What guests say

4.4on Google, 2,949 reviews
8.9Brenda score out of 10, #24 of our Top 50

We read the latest 200 Google reviews, posted between 20 Jul and 14 Oct 2026. 150 gave five stars and 10 gave one or two. Staff come up most (87 reviews, 4.6), then food (63, 4.5), rooms (61, 4.3) and location (53, 4.6). Cleanliness also scores well (50 reviews, 4.5). The weak spots are the pool (13 reviews, 3.8) and the lifts (2 reviews, 2.0), and a few low reviews say the air-con runs too cold. Recent reviews are up: the last 30 average 4.7, against 4.4 all-time.

We count and summarise; we don't copy reviews. Averages are the star ratings of the reviews that mention each thing.

Pool and sunbeds

Can you get a sunbed?

3 of the 200 reviews mention sunbeds, averaging 4.0 stars. None mention reserving or an early rush. The common thread is space: the pool area is small and the loungers sit close together, with not many for the number of guests.

What people are saying

The chatter

We found 174 YouTube comments that mention the Bristol, many under Hangovers & Handpays' first-night video (32,511 views). 34 commenters have stayed or are booked, and 55 are positive. The talk is mostly about the location, close to Gin Alley and the Old Town, and the shows nearby (13 comments). Commenters point out that not every standard double has a balcony; ask the hotel for a higher floor with a balcony if it matters. Only 3 comments are negative about a stay.
