Bristol Palace Hotel
Clean Room, a bit noisy, but not too much. The restaurant and bar are lovely, and Ivan, the bartender, remembered me from two years ago! The hotel could use a refreshing, but I love the vintage vibe! Will definitely stay here again!

Best breakfast buffet we've had in Europe. The whole facility was extremely clean and the spa was wonderful after a long day of sightseeing. Staff was very friendly and very accommodating to our requests, such as a late check out. It was a wonderful stay.
