Hi Sandy .... the Bristol Park is in a convenient location, right on the edge of the Old Town and next to Parque De L'Aiguera. But it is the very busy junction of Plaza Doctor Fleming and Avenida Mediterraneo. Traffic flow never stops, and the amplified noise of mopeds passing under a nearby bridge may be a bit much, especially if you are in a front facing room.

As to suitability for kids, the main door of the hotel leads directly on to the street, there are no grounds or gardens to the front separating the property from the pavement or busy road. Whether that might be regarded as a particular hazard for your 7 year old, is a matter for you to decide.

Hi Sandy ... without knowing your specific preferences and requirements, it's difficult. But basically, I assume that you are looking for a hotel which suits all age groups, with sufficient in house entertainment if any of the family don't fancy going out at night, and still be reasonably close to the nightlife for those who do. Am I close ??

It may be worth looking at our hotel reviews for the following properties, and see if any match your requirements. I would say that the first three listed tend to be very popular with family groups of mixed generations, but the others would also be worth considering based on reputation and location:

Ambassador Playa
Sol Pelicanos
Rio Park
Costa Blanca Sol
Diplomatic
Levante Club

Regards Brian.

Hotel Bristol Park is in the Old Town, near Plaza Triangular, a good location if you like the bustle of the Old Town. It is a smallish, friendly Spanish Hotel with almost 100% Spanish guests and Spanish food, which we liked but it might not suit everyone. Its on a busy and quite noisy roundabout. If you want to be near the cabaret clubs the Bristol Park is a long walk or a bus or taxi, not really suitable.

Hi Brian .. I have merged your enquiry with this existing topic about Hotel Bristol Park. You can also read our reviews of the hotel on the following page:

We actually stayed at the Bristol Park a few years ago. It was stated as being ideal for families, but it was not. The pool was too deep for the children, no activities except for pensioners ie boules, waltzes etc.

Our rep advised us to spend the days at the apartments up the road, which we did and just used the Bristol Park as a base for sleeping and eating - the desserts were delicious!

has any one been can't find much on it?

EDIT:Merged with previous topic

Hi Vodka Queen, I Haven't stayed there but I know where it is and believe that it's very "Spanishy" if that makes sense.
Have a look on the Hotel Reviews on here and also http://www.holidaysuncovered.co.uk
There is an excellent restaurant quite near there called The Hoff Van Holland that we try to visit whilst we're there.
