    Everything was great except the view from our room, which faced away from the sea and looked at the walls of adjacent buildings.

    The hotel is right beside the most interesting museum in Calabria, the most delicious gelato stand (Cesare), and the most beautiful coastal walkway in Italy. The room was spacious, bright, quiet and comfortable. The 5th floor restaurant had great food and spectacular views. The staff were kind and helpful with check-in and rental car.

    The staff at the breakfast were not the most friendly.

    The room was very large and a slight view of the beach. The decor was dated but the room was in great condition. The location was great being only minutes from most everything. Great buffet breakfast with the best view of the sea.

    We loved everything about this hotel. It's our second time staying here. The location, easy walking distance to everything. We had a lovely view of the corso and water from our balcony. There was an abundance of choices for breakfast and the staff at reception were always very helpful.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    The staff were professional and extremely nice and helpful. We had a very early flight, they booked our taxi and the gentleman who worked the nightshift on the desk made us coffee and prepared some light bites for breakfast as at 4am the kitchen was closed. A big thank you to all the staff. The restaurant/bar on the top floor with the views was amazing. Our room was nice, clean and comfortable. We visit the region two or three times a year and this is the hotel we will now use when we fly in/out of Reggio Calabria.

    The decor of our room was quite dated, although it was very roomy and quiet. The bed was very uncomfortable. There was a hard plastic cover or sheet under the bed sheet that made the bed uncomfortable.

    The staff was wonderful. They upgraded our room, and were very helpful with information on directions and restaurants. The restaurant on the rooftop was beautiful and the food was outstanding, both dinner and the free breakfast.

    Shower - water temperature fluctuates between hot and cold. The doors to the rooms slam too loud - when people come home late and slam their door you fall out of bed

    Great location, very tight garage but the hotel will park it for you, nice breakfast on the top floor, next door to the archeology museum, at the beginning of the promenade and the Corso

    The pillows were the normal Italian flat type and that made sleeping uncomfortable for me.

    The hotel is in an excellent location across the street from the Archaeology Museum, near the Lido train station, and close to the Lungomare walk along the water. The staff was very friendly and informative. The room and hotel were very elegant.

    Location was great! Very close to Cesare gelato, the archaeological museum, hydrofoil, and lungomare. Staff were very accommodating. We had a very early train and they gave us breakfast to go. Dinner at the restaurant was very good. Room and bathroom were large and clean. The hotel is a bit dated in terms of decor, but we had a good stay. Would recommend.

    We struggled to park in front of the hotel when we arrived, it’s very congested there, and there is significant road construction occurring (Sept 2023). But the front desk staff quickly took our car key and parked the car in an offsite lot.

    The hotel is located at the beginning of the strand, and at the beginning of Corso Garibaldi. Nice lobby, working elevator. The room was quiet with a motorized rolling window shade. Good sizes bathroom.
