Pros:

Room size was excellent given that it was ruined. The location was fantastic. There’s a rooftop bar. The staff were excellent.

Cons:

The maintenance of the rooms was terrible and questioned the hygiene when I pulled back the bedsheets and found somebody else’s hair and not just one hair that dozens within the bedsheets. I question whether they were even changed.

Pros:

Much appreciated follow-up and customer care
After I posted my review, the hotel contacted me and took the time to understand the reasons for my disappointment. They listened to my concerns, tried to resolve the issue, and offered to refund the cost of my booking.
Although my original review reflects my experience at the time, I also want to acknowledge their care and willingness to put things right. I appreciate their follow-up and have revised my rating to reflect their efforts. Thank you for taking my feedback seriously.

Cons:

When I arrived at the hotel, I was informed that I would be moved to the hotel across the street due to an air-conditioning problem, even though no one had notified me in advance. I had originally booked a Deluxe Room.
Unfortunately, my experience at the Melea Hotel was extremely disappointing. There was a very unpleasant smell in the room, as well as on the bed covers and pillows. I was also given a very small standard room, despite having paid for a Deluxe Room.
When I raised the issue, the receptionist insisted that it was not a standard room. After I explained how extremely small it was, she offered to change it. However, it was already late, and I was leaving early the following morning, so I declined.
Nevertheless, I believe I should have been given the room category I originally booked and paid for from the beginning.

Thank you Alessandro & Luca!
Pros:

The customer service was excellent, Alessandro, Luca and Joseph were so kind, hospitable and considerate - they made sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were clean and the location was excellent, right in the beating heart of Italy. The terrace offers a gorgeous view of the city and can't be missed!

Pros:

I like the location and reception staff they were so attentive and friendly

Cons:

I booked a five-night stay, and on the last night, the electricity went out due to rain. The rainfall was not particularly heavy, but when the power was restored, the air conditioning remained nonfunctional. As a temporary solution, the hotel provided an electric fan.

מיקום, צוות חביב. ארוחת בוקר מספקת
Pros:

מיקום מעולה, מרחק הליכה מתחנת הרכבת וממרכז העיר. המעלית קטנה מדי, נאלצנו לעלות לחדר ברגל.

Cons:

את המעלית, החדר היה נורא מאובק, התעטשתי כל הלילה
