A pleasant stay . Room had a great view. One could feel the Bristol Hotel had seen More Glamourous days with wide staircases, large bedrooms and bathrooms, and grand restaurant with the great terrace
Warm, friendly welcome at reception.
We arrived late but could tell the buffet would have been very good had we arrived earlier.
Very nice location with lovely bay views.
Elegant, ckassical style room.
The hotel has very good location, spectacular sea view (be sure to rent a room facing the sea), rich breakfast choice and it is quite comfortable for a short stay. Private beach is down stairs, stone paved, relatively small but nice. I recommend booking a premium room, because it is more comfortable (especially the bed).
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We had a room that overlooked the Adriatic with a little balcony and table to have coffee, wine or food. The staff at the front desk were very helpful and nice. There is limited parking if you are driving a car. All in all it was a great find during July, a busy season, when normally sea views would be all booked!!
Room and bathroom is very old, should be renoved 15 years ago.The mattress on the bed very uncomfortable and old. The restorant personal very impersonal,no smile,no kind.The food tasteless,cheap. Wifi doesn´t work nowhere in hotel!!!
Photos about rooms in hotel are misleading. Hotel Bristol needs to be renovated immediately.Not worth the money that I paid.Living in Hotel Bristol is like return in previous century. I didn´t expected high comfort in a hotel 3 stars, but what I become was very bad accomodation.

Bristol in Lovran
Location is great. Hotel is right by the sea. It is an old beautiful building with wonderful high ceilings. Rooms are small and should be updated. Showers need to be improved. Breakfast was ok. Great location in a nice quiet town by the sea.
The hotel is in a good location, the view is spectacular. Yet the room condition is poor. You have a feel of back to the 50s. One good point about the hotel is its breakfast. It is served in an elegant dining rooom, and the food is good.

Charming Hotel
We did arrive a little early (12.40 pm) and were not allowed to check in before 2 pm. The parking situation is disastrous, either you pay 10 Euro (garage)/ 8 Euro outside per day or you have to find a public parking space which is virtually like winning the lottery. Many people have written about the charm of this hotel. If you don’t look too closely and ignore chipped paintwork and rusty ironwork it certainly feels like an interesting step back in history. Our room was a “Premium Double Room” with sea view (# 211) and worth every cent! We loved the décor of the spacious room and bathroom and nothing beats that sea view. The furniture, drapes, carpets and bedding perfectly caught the atmosphere of the grand old days and it felt like a 5 star accommodation. The mattresses were very comfortable too.
We had booked with half board. The breakfast was mediocre but the evening meal very nice. The selection was good and the starters and main dishes were really tasty.
We certainly would recommend this hotel.
Stayed one night, nice seafront location, close to playground and the old city. Hotel itself has the air of somewhat faded grandness, but it still quite nice. Great terrasse out looking out to the sea. Good dinner and breakfast choices, especially for the rate we got (50 Euros/night, family of three, half board), unbeatable!

Close cab ride to Opatija
Stayed at Bristol with some friends for a few nights while driving through Croatia. We got the half board which is definitely worth it because the morning and evening buffet are pretty good for what you pay. And the biggie for us, unlimited local beer and wine on tap! The concierge helped upgrade our room, free of charge, when we weren't content with the number of beds in our suite. They also called us a cab while we had drinks at the bar. The town of Lovran itself isn't great, but it's a little more than a five minute cab ride to Opatija if you're looking for something to do. The private beach that the hotel has is kind of crummy. Not what we would call a beach in the States. Overall good hotel though, good service. Stay away from the hotel's laundry service.
The Hotel Bristol is a large old-style property smack in the center of Lovran, very convenient without being in a conglomeration that is hard to negotiate. We had a car and parked ($) in front of the hotel. The star attraction I should think is that our interent booking gave us half board for two people . We paid extra for parking and for our little dog. The room was a bit on the small side for such a big hotel but adequate enough for two nights. We had a side view of the Adriatic looking toward Opatja and from our balcony that was quite charming with sparkly lights shining in the distance at night. The "beach" in front of the hotel (actually off to either side) was concrete and a little hard to negotiate but we made it into the water and got some nice theraputic exercise. Our stay was in early Sept. I am a wobbly walker so the only obstruction--not that it was so bad--was the few steps (without railing) up to the large reception area. The hotel has elevators so there wasn't any real problem, but it is not suitable for anyone in a wheelchair. I found the bed okay, the reading lighting okay (chandalier kind of lights right above the night stand). The only annoyance was a shower head mounted about eight feet above the shower stall-which makes it hard to get the soap off your skin. The buffet dinner had immense selections and the breakfast buffet was also very nice. All in all a good experience --good value for the price.
Large, well-kept hotel in the hear of beautiful Lovran. We were there end of August and it was still very hot and the rooms do not have air-conditioning. Very hot during the day, but fortunately cooler at night so we were able to sleep and we kept balcony doors open. The only downside was that we seemed to be on the noisy side of the hotel as we were woken by delivery/rubbish trucks being loaded/unloaded (the hotel could do more to let these guys know to keep it down at 6am). The bathroom was rather small and could have done with a new shower curtain. These were only minors and for the price the rooms are adequately comfortable. Each has it's own little balcony (from what I could gather).
It has a great breakfast buffet and you can sit in a lovely dining room or out on the wide terrace which overlooks the sea. Magnificent location. Reception staff were all very helpful and friendly.

98 year old hotel in Lovran, Croatia
This hotel was very nice, and, depending on the time of the year, I will use it again. It was 98 years old, which had good points and bad. The ambiance was wonderful; the views of the Adriatic were spectacular. The short coming was that it was not air-conditioned.
Also, it did not have internet service, wireless or otherwise. Perhaps that will be corrected in the near future.
The free breakfast buffet was very good at 7:00 am when it opened, but not as good at 8:00.
The front desk personnel were friendly and helpful.
Leider hat dieses Hotel seine Zeit hinter sich. Unser Zimmer (Superior) war zwar wirklich schön, grosszügig, sehr hohe Decke, stilgerecht eingerichtet. Die Fenster waren aber mehr als alt und überhaupt nicht dicht. Das Hotel ist sehr! hellhörig. Frühstücksbüffet mit Automatenkaffee und 4 Sorten Beuteltee überzeugte überhaupt nicht. Sorry, auf keinen Fall wieder.
Dette var en gammel storhet av et hotel, men beklageligvis har sannsynligvis midlene vært for små i forbindelse med renovering. En bli og veldig behjelpelig kvinnelig resepsjonist reddet oppholdet. Ordnet opp med reparatør til rommets gamle vindus/dørscreen. Hotelllet ligger supert til ved havet og den 12 km lange langomare, men vedlikeholdet på hotellet er dårlig. Det er i utgangspunktet en fantastisk bygning, men som sagt det mangler vedlikehold. Vi hadde drom med sjøutsikt. Badet var Ok renovert men lite, rommet og møbler gammelt og slitt. Takvifta funket Ok og rommet lå slik at man klarte seg faktisk greit i over 30 grader uten ac. Frokosten var bra og ble inntatt i noe som engang helt sikkert har vært et utrolig fint rom, men nå bar det preg av gammel vannlekkasje. Parkering ordner seg selv om det er smått med plass. Dette kunne vært et fantastisk sted, men er det definitivt ikke.
Kratak boravak na proputovanju.Stanje objekta jako loše,fotografije smještajnih jedinica ne odgovaraju stvarnom stanju.Hotelu potrebno hitno renoviranje.

Das Personal, egal ob Service, Rezeption, Küche oder Housekeeping, war durchweg immer freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstücksbuffet war immer ausreichend aber leider keine Abwechslung. Das Abendbuffet war sehr gut. Jeden Abend etwas anderes. Es wurde immer wieder nachgelegt. Für uns war es super.
Das Zimmer war leider sehr hellhöriger, ansonsten hat es alles gehabt was man benötigt. Für die Hunde war es auch Urlaub. Das Personal ist sehr Tierlieb. Danke an alle.
Vi var 5 venner på MC-tur som hadde to netter på hotellet. Vi kom frem ved midnatt pga. problemer tidligere på dagen, og ble møtt av en hyggelig resepsjonist som kom ut og tok oss imot og viste oss parkering for syklene. Rommene var store og fine, og to av rommene hadde nydelig utsikt mot Adriaterhavet. Det ene rommet hadde såkalt "garden view", og var da mot innkjøring til hotellet. Fin frokost ute på terrassen.
Lovran er et koselig lite sted, med restauranter både ved havet og i gamlebyen. Et godt totalinntrykk.

Idyllisches Hotel in direkter Strandnähe
Wir sind zufälligerweise auf dieses Hotel gestoßen da wir über unsere andere Unterkunft mehr als enttäuscht waren.
Die Mitarbeiterin an der Rezeption war super freundlich und gab uns zuerst den Zimmerschlüssel damit wir uns ein Bild von dem Zimmer machen konnten. Es ist zwar nicht groß aber alles war vorhanden. Vom Balkon aus hatten wir einen seitlichen Meerblick, jetzt konnte für uns auch der Urlaub beginnen. Wir hatten Halbpension gebucht, das Frühstück ist ausreichend zum Abend essen gab es im Preis inbegriffen Getränke wie Wasser, Säfte, Bier und Wein.
Wir hatten wunderschönen Urlaub in Lovran und würden auch wieder kommen.
Ik zou hier niet graag zitten in het hoogseizoen, als er op pleintjes in de omgeving van het hotel tot in de nacht lawaai en muziek geproduceerd wordt. Voortaan zou ik alleen hotel met ontbijt boeken: Het avondeten is namelijk vanaf 7 uur en dan zo overvloedig dat ik er niet van af kan blijven en mijn volle maag mij een halve nachtrust kost. Een warme lunch in het middaguur en twee boterhammen om half zes is voor mij voldoende.
Trotz Nachsaion und kurz vor dem Zusperren war das Hotel im Topzustand sowie die ganze Hotelcrew aufmerksam, zuvorkommend und sehr sehr freundlich. Wir waren mit dem ganzen Paket mehr als zufrieden. Nach dem Motto..... es gibt nichts was es nicht gibt.

Kein modernes Hotel, das beliebig in jeder Stadt stehen könnte. Das Bristol erzählt von früherer klasse.
Dabei sind essen und Service nicht zu bemängeln.
Wir kommen wieder.
Fantastisk utsikt från rummet mot havet. Charmig nostalgisk litet samhälle som säkerligen vittnar om den tidigare glamouren på denna rivieran. Detta hotellet har samma glamourösa anda och har ett perfekt läge. Slö personal i restaurangen där det ständigt saknas endera bestick, glas, eller mat vid buffén. Tråkigt att de måste ta i så med betalningen sv solstolar där de är dyrast i staden.
Das Hotel ist nicht geeignet für Ruhesuchende. Alle drei Tage stellten sich neue Busreisende als Gäste ein.
Damit verbunden herrscht auch in den Nachtstunden ein erheblicher Lärmpegel (u.a. laute Gespräche auf dem Flur, Knallen der Zimmertüren).
Die Geräuschdämmung ist völlig unzureichend.
Der Speisesaal macht einen ungepflegten Eindruck. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist eintönig und auf Kostenminimierung ausgerichtet. Das Bedienungspersonal macht einen interessenlosen Eindruck.
Der Balkon wurde nie gesäubert und war mit Taubenkot verunreinigt.
Die Bettwäsche war teilweise fleckig und wies manchmal Löcher auf.

Nettes ruhiges Hotel... freundliches Personal, schöne Terrasse, Liegemöglichkeit in großen Betten...
Szép környezetben fekvő, kulturált hotel. Rendkívül kedves személyzet, kiváló ételek, nagy tisztaság. Az egyedüli negatívum, hogy a szobákban nincs klíma és hűtő.
