Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms that could benefit from some updates, but they are comfortable and functional. The service was overall friendly and attentive, enhancing the stay. The location is good for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience was average with limited options available. The facilities are satisfactory and meet basic needs.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with large balconies overlooking the sea, although some may have outdated features. There was a noticeable issue with moisture and mildew between the bathroom and bedroom. The service was professional and friendly, providing a pleasant experience overall. The location is ideal for beachgoers and those looking for easy access to main highways, however, weekends can get busy. The dining options were good but limited to self-service in the garden. The facilities were well-maintained and inclusive of high-quality dishes.
The hotel offers stunning views facing north toward Marina di Pisa and the distant marble-capped mountains. Special thanks to Elena for her warm welcome, making our stay cozy and gorgeous. However, the odd layout with double doors separating rooms left me feeling a bit uncomfortable and curious.
The hotel had some unusual room layouts with two doors between adjoining rooms. The housekeeping did a good job maintaining the rooms with views either northward towards Marina di Pisa and the distant mountains or southward towards Livorno. Access to beach chairs was convenient, although the room division was a bit odd.
The hotel's location near the beach was excellent, but the room cleanliness and amenities did not meet expectations. The service was accommodating and quick to address issues, yet the dining options were limited. Overall, a mixed experience with notable positive and negative aspects.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although clean, felt dated and tired. On the bright side, the balconies facing the Tyrrhenian Sea added a nice touch to the stay. The service was friendly and accommodating, but the dining options left something to be desired. The location, next to the beach and bus stop, was convenient, but some aspects felt lacking compared to other options.
