Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Bristol Hotel is known for its very central location, close to Main Street, Coronation Park, restaurants, bars, and just 10 minutes from the cable car. Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring a covered balcony with seating, air conditioning, a fridge, and ample amenities like slippers. The swimming pool area is a loved spot, and the hotel also offers vending machines in the lobby. Some guests have noted the dated interior and dark hallways due to the dark wood panelling, but find the location great value for money.
