Hotel St Pierre

The hotel looks decent at first, but the room was very small, dark, and uncomfortable. The whole arrangement was illogical, one chair for two guests, wardrobe blocking the window and no bedside table, only a small shelf with an old cord phone (that didn't even have dial tone, so why??). I tossed the phone under the bed to have a bit of space for my stuff but we were stumbling over our bags and stuff all the time. The room was looking over rooftops and another hotel, no view. To our dismay, there was no balcony and all terraces were locked from the guests stuck with a shoecloset like ours. The bedding consists of one sheet for blanket, which was not enough in 18 degrees so we used the extra plush blankets which dirtied our beds - they had sand in them, a previous guest must have taken them to the beach. See attached pictures. Alarming, since the last time it was beach time had been 7-8 months ago so this means the extra blankets in the wardrobe are not washed or even shaken out for months (or maybe ever). Absolutely disgusting. We found the handsoap dispenser empty and during our stay it was never refilled. We did not know about the wall sockets being different from ours so we didn't have appropriate chargers. When I asked for an adapter they said they had none - we later found adapters in shops for 1.5 €. A hotel should invest in a few of those I think... The reception doesn't speak English but they are more than ready to recite War and Peace for you in Italian, not caring weather you understand or not, so good luck keeping up with that. When sitting at the tables outside the hotel, burning cigarette butts were thrown down at us from one of the balconies. That should tell you a lot about the guests that go there. The breakfast was great but the room was deplorable. I give the 2 stars just because of the breakfast, but we'd never go back here and we can't recommend this place. It reeks of neglect. It must have been nice once upon a time, but now, it needs serious upgrades and much much better housekeeping.

I may have been unlucky with my room, but a weird contraption, unifying a toilet, a bidet and a shower into one monstrosity wich makes the bathroom uninhabitable is beyond good and evil. On the plus side - it is nicely located. All other pros and cons are typical for an Italian hotel - you're gonna hear EVERYTHING thats happening on your floor, the breakfast is scarce and the wi-fi is a bit slow. Not the worst place I've stayed, but close to it.
