"Excellent"

8.0

Perfekte Lage, alles zu Fuss erreichbar (die beiden Strände, Bahnhof, Restaurants) / Freundliches Personal / Grosszügige Räume mit Charme und Geschichte / Park ums Haus und Hotel-Bar mit Aussensitzplätzen inkl. Meersicht

Schade, dass beim Personal gespart und das Haus nicht besser gepflegt wird. Das Zimmer scheint seit längerem nur rudimentär geputzt zu werden (Staub in Ecken, fremde Haare in Dusche, Seifenablage verklebt). Die Infrastruktur ist in die Jahre gekommen und bräuchte dringend kleinere Instandsetzungen. Offenbar wurde vieles, was nicht zwingend nötig ist, gestrichen: Kein Wasser / Gläser auf Zimmer bei Ankunft, keine Gästemappe mit Infos, kein Teekocher, keine kostenlosen Pool-/Strandtücher, kein Wäscheservice, kein Roomservice etc.

"Grand but missing its heart"

8.0

A lovely grand old building in the right location with good facilities and friendly and helpful staff. We stayed here for 10 days but barely used the hotel's bar or dining room apart from breakfast. We did occasionally venture down to the dining room in the evening but on each of our visits there were no diners to be seen despite it being open with all the tables laid and ready. Admittedly this was the second half of September and the season had past its peak, but even so it was very strange! The menu seemed OK with prices similar to other restaurants in town. The cocktail bar was a similar experience with only a handful of guests right through the evening. With plenty of places to eat in town we, like most of the other guests, ventured out to find somewhere with a bit of atmosphere and interest. Like many hotels that occupy grand old buildings it was clear to see that maintenance and upkeep were a constant challenge. Our room was right up on the top floor with only one tiny, old fashioned lift that no more than two can comfortably occupy at a time. The room itself was adequate but needed a few updates here and there. I think the biggest problem was that that the place needed a more active management to get out and talk to the guests. All the staff did there jobs well but it felt more like a Travel Lodge than a warm and welcoming traditional Italian 4 star.

"Prächtiges, komfortables Hotel, freundliches Personal. Super Lage."

10.0

Das Hotel ist einzigartig schön mit sehr freundlichem und zuvorkommendem Personal. Man fühlt sich in vergangene, mondäne Zeiten versetzt. Die Lage ist super zentral und liegt ein paar Meter vom Strand entfernt. Das Zimmer ist hübsch und gepflegt. Das Frühstück besteht aus einem reichhaltigen, hochwertigen Buffet. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen!

Im Innenhof, in der Nähe des Fensters, lief nonstop eine Art Motor, vielleicht ein Generator. Wegen dieses Geräuschs und des Geruchs konnte man das Fenster nachts nicht offen halten. Das Essen am Abend im Hotel-Restaurant hat uns leider nicht so überzeugt.
