“Excellent for our needs”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011

I'm writing this review because almost all of the existing ones deal with stays during the ski season. My wife and I stayed for a week in the Bristol in mid-summer to attend the Verbier music festival.
The hotel was an excellent place to stay. It offered no frills, just basic accommodation and a friendly staff. For the music festival the hotel was perfectly located in the centre of Verbier, a few minutes' walk from the two main concert venues and all the peripheral activities. There are several restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.
Breakfasts in the small breakfast room were fine and unexceptional. The hotel has acces to a nearby basement parking garage: it cost us 15 francs a day to use this facility.
Keeping in mind that Verbier is one of the more expensive resorts in a country that is eye-wateringly expensive to visit, the Bristol offered reasonable value.

“This was a pleasant well appointed functional ski Hotel in the heart of Verbier”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2011

If you are looking for a central location adjacent to the town centre, restaurants,bars, and easy bus ride to nearest cable car then this is worth considering. The accommodation was generous, and the views excellent, especially the rear and facing ones. There a lift which always helps after a hard day on the slopes, reasonable breakfast is served in the mornings and you are provided with access cards to arrive at the hotel when convenient (24hrs)
We were unfortunately without hot water for two whole days which was a major pain however, and was unsure if this was an ongoing problem

“very nice, basic accomodations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2010

Spent 4 nights here. The only hotel we could find to stay less than a week. The rooms very clean and basic. Shower and bathroom clean and fully functional. My ratings are based on the understanding that this is not a fancy or high amenity hotel. Keep in mind that we expected basic comfort. and that is what we got.

Pro: Great location in the center of town. Short walk up to the base of the main gondola. Clean. Very nice/helpful staff. Comfortable.

Con:Nothing major. There was a snafu with our reservation initially and we had to change rooms after the first night. (we were upgraded for a night due to overlapping reservations). May be a bit loud Thurs/Fri/Sat night as there is a club on the main level that is open from 11pm-4am. We stayed Mon-Thurs and just barely heard the base "thumping" on the last night. Didn't keep us awake, but if you were on the lower floors on the weekends this may be an issue.

Overall a great place for us to stay. Was everything we needed and the price was great. Verbier is a very expensive place...as we expected and read elsewhere. Saved some money by getting sandwiches at the base to bring for lunch and some snacks at the store which is just across the street.

Apres ski at the Fer a Cheval was nice. There is a place called Farinet near the main intersection in town with live music every day for apres ski. It was hopping every day but massively crowded and too many drunks for us. Fifteen years ago, we would have loved it.

“Did the job”

person found this review helpful

Came for 4 days skiing, this was the only hotel we could find in Verbier that would take bookings for less than 6 nights. Very clean perfec tly adequate three star hotel. Good breakfast, did not find it noisy (cf other review), and good access to Medran lift.

If you want luxury go 5 star, if you want a functional clean hotel with friendly helpful staff then this is fine
