Incredible stay at Lake Maggiore
10 Sept 2026
We had such a wonderful stay at Grand Hotel Bristol and would absolutely return!! The location is fantastic, it’s beautifully situated on Lake Maggiore and an easy walk to the town center of Stresa, which made exploring with our family so convenient.From the moment we arrived, the entire team was incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with the most beautiful view of the lake. It was such a treat to wake up to that scenery every morning.What really stood out were all of the thoughtful little touches throughout our stay. Our children received a special welcome gift when we arrived and even a goodbye gift when we left, which made them feel so special and was such a lovely gesture. Those details really elevated the experience and made the hotel feel incredibly personal and family-friendly.The breakfast each morning was delicious with a wonderful selection, and we were equally impressed with the food we enjoyed throughout our stay.Grand Hotel Bristol combines a beautiful location, spacious rooms, incredible views, excellent food, and genuinely kind hospitality. It was a perfect ending to our time in Italy, and we would happily stay here again. Highly recommend!

2 star experience definitely
20 Aug 2026
This hotel is pretty since its been recently renovated but thats about where my compliments end. This was overall so overpriced for the service and amenities. We paid about $500 usd a night for this hotel, plus much more for food, bev, parking, etc. The room had a very strong perfume smell that was very intense and our room was overlooking basically the top of an ac and something that looked like a small mudslide: Concierge and service were non existant, food was pricey and very mediocre, no spa or gym, no coffee in rooms or early in the morning anywhere on site. Leaving low stars bc I wish I had seen lower ratings overall to catch my attention. Definitely stay at the property next door instead (Iles Brommes)- the price was very similar and seems to have much better reviews and looked really beautiful.

Not a luxury property
20 Aug 2026
We spent 7 nights here. While this is a newly renovated hotel advertising a luxury experience we were met with average service not up to par with the price and other hotels in the area. When we gave constructive criticism as feedback, the CEO of the company directly contacted us and let us know this is not a luxury property contradicting the marketing language used in their own website. The hotel is pretty, but manage your expectations as this is not a luxury experience.We were disappointed since this hotel is not a luxury experience and they charge more per night than the other 5 star hotels in the area

Top Quality Hotel which deserves 5* affiliation rather than 4*
23 Jul 2026
The Best 4* Hotel you could choose! The best staff service throughout. Best breakfast buffet one could expect.Quality of furniture from pool area / bars and restaurants is top quality…. Far beyond most 5* Hotel expectations( well done to design team!!)Our room was a large Suite with swim pool jacuzzi / two terraces and was really a big surprise on the size and quality technology & design. My Only complaint is the Standard Internet wifi you get for free was extremely below par / totally useless and i will not pay for super fast connection in any Hotel especially spending €1200.00 per night which is really not acceptable in 2026Alessia on front desk was a credit to the Hotel !!I will return but hope they resolve charging for internet/ wifi upgrades that should be STANDARD in a quality Hotel like this one.

Game Changer in Stresa
22 Jul 2026
If you stumble upon this review, you’re welcome and consider yourself on a short timeline before the word gets out and this place will double in price. The hotel just had a complete renovation and had a soft opening in May and is absolutely GORGEOUS. We just had dinner at Francesco and were blown away with food, ambience and service. You will not find a more refined experience in Stresa!!!
