Reviews
I liked it a lot! As a solo female traveller I felt very safe as there was always someone at the reception and as it’s directly at the main walk. I enjoyed my single room with an amazing view over the ocean and little shops.
The staff was very friendly and polite. I rented a bike which was in a very good state and explored the beautiful surroundings, the bike street is great.
The rooftop terrace is a nice plus too! As they serve the breakfast inside now in october, there was plenty of space on the rooftop to do morning yoga there with a stunning view.
They had some vegan and many glutenfree options at the breakfast. It would be great if they would add margarine & some vegetables.
If you arrive by train: it’s a bit far to walk and the ambiance arround the train station is not very nice, but during the daylight it’s okay.
The view is amazing from the room and contrary to what people say here, I found the breakfast really nice! Fresh fruit, eggs, sweet pastries, nuts, ham etc. And on top of that the amazing view of course.
It is loud but I always travel with earplugs so that was not a huge issue for me :)
The room was super cute as well but as someone had mentioned here, the bathroom was terribly cleaned and to be fair the whole room was the worst cleaned hotel room I have ever been to.
The toilet reeked of piss real bad and I literally cleaned it with alcohol wipes myself as it just made me feel so sick (there were stains on the seat). There was black hair everywhere in bathroom and also in the room, the ottoman had stains and sand on it, floor probably hasn’t seen a mop for ages.
The bathroom really did me though, and if I had stayed longer I would have requested they bleach it. The uncleanliness really killed the whole stay for me, it was real bad and a bit shocking to be honest.
Giving 3 stars as it was a good deal! But next time I’d probably pay more and get a clean room in a different hotel.
Breakfast, there is no plain yoghurt. No tomatoes! How can you not serve tomatoes in Italy!!!?? I just got my tomatoes and a yoghurt from the supermarket for tomorrow breakfast. However, in the price £100 per night, the breakfast is included!
And more to it. The beach is mostly private. To put the towel on the sand, they want to charge you. The sea is very shallow. It's impossible to swim. People are just standing in the sea.
Next to me, the German older couple was arguing. They never heard of private beaches to pay for a towel on the sand or a bed with the umbrella from 30 to 150 euros!
I booked the hotel via booking.com and chosen for great reviews. My experience was not good at all. I reported the matter to the hotel customer services. A man called Davide F responded to me rudely,
with an exclamation mark, that I should report the issue earlier. However, I was talking to reception about the issue. Neither acknowledgement nor apologies was given. I will be demanding the refund.
Room has been very nice with balcony and sea view. And most importantly in Italy they do not have those thin walls where you can hear every single word of your neighbours. It’s directly at the Main Street but windows are very isolated. But anyway I always carry oropax with me. Breakfast was also very good. Even for vegans. Lot
Of fruits. They had home made banana cake 👍 I hopefully will return one day
The breakfast and service is exceptional as are the hosts of the hotel.
My room was very clean, modern and well furnished and the hotel bedrooms bathrooms and reception is equipped to a very high standard.
I will be booking here again when next in Viareggio in October.
The beds are comfortable, shower is small and walls seem to be paperthin because we could hear everything around us. Resulting in late nights because of screaming neighbors and early mornings because you can hear the housekeeping and that's very loud.
My earbuds couldn't cancel that noise, we still enjoyed our time there.
We took 2 waterbottles from the minibar the first night and when we got the bill it said 4 but without any issue that was quickly and friendly solved.
Not recommended.
