We took the train from Paris to Colmar and stayed at the Grand Hotel Bristol for two nights. The hotel is located less than a minute's walk from the train station and is about a 20 minute walk from the Colmar tourist area.
The check-in staff was amazing and assigned us to a Classic Room per our reservation. The room was reasonably sized for a European hotel and had all the amenities we needed for our stay.
The breakfast buffet was very good with a wide variety of American and European breakfast choices, including: scrambled eggs, bacon, cold cuts and cheeses, cereal, a variety of fresh breads, and more. It was delicious and a great way to start the day.
We also dined in the on-site restaurant one night. The food was very good with a variety of dishes to select from, generous portion sizes, and was reasonably priced. I recommend a reservation because the restaurant was very busy (with a tour group and others), but the staff was able to find us a table.
We only encountered one issue. I woke one morning at around 0100 and wanted to go for a short walk. The front doors to the building were locked so that no one could leave or enter the hotel and a note was on the reception desk stating the night clerk would return in a short time. After 30 minutes of waiting and searching, I finally found the night clerk prepping a conference room for the next day. I was concerned that there was a safety issue for the guests inside and with guests out late being locked out.
