Categories

Cleanliness
8.4
Rooms repeatedly described as clean ("The room was clean") but some issues reported (paper-thin towels, shower drainage problem) — overall cleanliness is good with minor maintenance issues.
Service
9.8
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful ("clerk was super nice", "personale davvero ottimi", "staff were nice"). There was an isolated negative around a booking/dog-fee communication, but overall front-desk/service sentiment is strongly positive.
Location
9.3
Good location noted (walking distance to town and beach) though some guests mentioned noise from a main through-street; overall location is a clear strength for most guests.
Room Quality
6
Mixed to negative: comfortable beds noted but multiple maintenance and comfort issues reported (worn carpet, hard-to-open faucet, little light, AC not working, shower drainage problems).
Amenities
7.6
Some useful amenities provided (parking, toiletries like shampoo/conditioner) but others are inconsistent or lacking (empty soap dispenser, freezer not freezing well, no utensils in studio kitchen, pool area criticized).
Value for Money
5.5
Several guests felt pricing was poor for what was offered (extra unexpected pet fee, paying more than other guests, headline 'Worst value for the price', need for renovation) — clear weakness on value.
Food and Beverage
6
Breakfast described as 'okay' by some but clearly industrial/low-quality by others (eggs not good, omelettes warmed rather than cooked) — generally below expectation.
Overall Experience
9
Overall impressions are positive for many guests ("We will stay again", "Nel complesso mi sono trovata super bene") driven by friendly staff and good location, despite several maintenance and value issues.

Nice
Pros:

The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. Liked that they had shampoo and conditioner in shower. We didn’t use it cause we took our own. The clerk was super nice .

Cons:

The water wouldn’t drain when we showered. The body towels were paper thin.

Staff were nice but the place and breakfast need more investment,
Pros:

Breakfast was industrial, kind of fast food. Even the omelets, that were one of the natural foods, were not cooked in the hotel kitchen- staff told me they just warmed them.

Cons:

I had to pay 35$ extra for my dog while I though is included in the room price. The receptionist told me that they have a deal on the day I arrived, but I couldn't cancel the reservation on Booking.com , so I actually paid 160$ for the room instead of 135$, which other guests who did not have a pre-reservation paid. The carpet in the room was worn out. The faucet in the shower was hard to open. The soap container in the bathroom was empty. Not much light in the room. The freezer did not freeze well a water bottle I left there for the night.

Worst value for the price.
Pros:

Walking distance to town and beach.

Cons:

This hotel has no charm and is in need of renovation. Hideous pool area, very noisy right next to main through street, no utensils whatsoever in the kitchen of the studio apartment, so the whole space is completely useless. AC did not work, which seemed to be a common problem.
