Liked: Cleanliness
The staff was absolutely great, genuine friendly and helpful! Hotel was very clean, no bad words!
We had a wonderful stay. The room was super clean and the person who greeted us was wonderful, no complaints at all. It just so happens that the sea right across from it has a sewage line and walking towards it from under the bridge was a nasal nightmare. With a car you are absolutely okay to stay here because you can drive to a cleaner swimming spot.
The front desk people were very helpful and patient. We were very close to downtown and could buy a converter just a few blocks from the hotel. It is a nice property with cute balconies. Breakfast at the terrace was nice and relaxing.
Perfect small room. Excellent and convenient place to stay. Cannot get any better in that price range👍. WATER PRESSURE: huge problem with the shower as hardly any water… but… that’s the only bad point!!!
Breakfast included was grrreeeat!!!!
The room and especially the bathroom were very outdated. The TV wasn’t working. Third floor with no elevator. Breakfast starts at 8AM. I had to catch a ferry to the Aeolian islands at 7AM so I couldn’t take advantage of it the first day. Also no coffee machine or refrigerator in the room. Only one vending machine in the building with no coffee. Despite everything, the view of Stromboli from my room was priceless!
3rd floor. No elevator. A/c was old . Cover was hanging off. Shower was small. Had a plastic mat , that was dirty. Had a hard tv with the tv. Receptionist said she was going to fix a/c & tv never did. Also asked to change room to lower floor. Her response was no, because we booked an economy room with Expedia. And we couldn’t lock door. We checked out a day earlier. 6 flights of stairs.
Accueil en libre service mais avec infos pratiques ok via le site Expedia + parking sur rue pas top contrairement au descriptif.
Prix imbattable par rapport à la qualité du produit, petit-déjeuner inclus. Un conseil : éviter une soirée de séminaire, sympa mais bruyant particulièrement la nuit ( cf. Isolation phonique très deficiente inside.
Hotel in buone condizioni e pulitissimo, ottima la posizione con parcheggio privato, ottima la colazione a buffet e soprattutto professionale e gentile tutto il personale in servizio. Ci torneremo sicuramente!
Premesso che la camera fosse l’economy.
Stanza Rumorosa, assenza di privacy tra noi e i vicini di stanza.
Bagno inconcepibile per il 2025, doccia sprovvista di cabina a ridosso di finestra water e bidet, presente una tendina a dir poco inutile, post doccia impossibile utilizzare i servizi senza prima dover aspettare che si asciughi.
Colazione dalle 8 alle 11, ma senza comunicare che è FINO AD ESAURIMENTO SCORTE, raggiunta la sala alle ore 9/9:15 giá praticamente terminato quasi tutto.
Due stelle grazie alla signora delle pulizie, cordiale e sorridente che incontrata tra le scale dei 3 piani (a piedi) almeno sollevava un pó il morale da tutto quello di cui sopra.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Camere al terzo piano senza ascensore bagno piccolissimo.. arredi vecchi almeno per quanto riguarda la camera al terzo piano.. insoddisfatto
Lati positivi: pulizia, cordialità, possibilità parcheggio, letto comodo, climatizzazione, ottima colazione.
Negativi: pochi mobili, portafinestra del balcone rumorosa all'apertura e chiusura
Es hat einen Führung Wechsel stattgefunden, ich war schon 4x dort und das letzte vor 2 Jahren. Dieses mal war katastrophal: Handtücher wurden 3 x in 10 Tagen gewechselt, warmes Frühstück kommt erst um 08:30 an und sauber wars auch nicht und kaputtes Mobiliar .
Albergo ad un quarto d'ora a piedi dalla stazione. Tutto molto efficiente. Ottima colazione. Disponibili ad offrire indicazioni sulle attività della zona.
