Ottimo soggiorno vicino taranto centro

Ottimo hotel. Personale cordiale. Lunica cosa se devo proprio muovere una critica é sul prezzo della colazione. Al prezzo di 25 euro mi aspettavo qualcosina in piú. Piscina sul mare bellissima. Parcheggio comodo

Augusti 2022

Rent och snyggt. Bra rum och trevligt polområde. Stranden i anslutning lite skräpig. Bad i polen tidsbegränsad kl.9-19 och krävdes badmössa som kan köpas på hotellet. Underhållning med hög musik och lekar stora delar av dagen och kvällen. (På Italienska.) Restaurangen på hotellet ej prisvärd. Bra med parkering i anslutning till entrén. Zona Industrial ligger mellan Hotellet och Taranto.

Bon rapport qualité prix

Hotel un peu vieux. Loin de Tarento (15 minutes en voiture) pas grand chose de disponible à proximité. Balcon sans chaises pour s'assoir. Points positifs: très belle piscine, accès direct à la plage, employés très dévoués, chambre très propre, bon petit déjeuner.

Hotellet fremstod slidt, både værelse og udendørsomgivelser. Beliggenheden ved havet var dejlig, men selve området var trist, beskidt og ikke rigtig trygt. Poolen var dejlig, der var masser af solstole og plads. Restauranten var ret kedelig og udvalget begrænset.

Keep it simple

Das Zimmer war recht spartanisch eingerichtet was aber nicht wirklich störte. Jedoch erwarte ich von einem 4* Hotel in Sachen Sauberkeit etwas mehr. (Badezimmer Reste des Vorgängers). Desweiteren waren die Balkontüren recht bescheiden zu öffnen und der Balkon über meinem sah von unten auch nicht mehr so stabil aus. Das "Frühstück" war mehr als wenig und am Ende servierte man ein gekochtes Ei vom Vortag ein Orangensaft im Plastikbecher und ein sehr leckeres Croissant.

Thieves Run This Hotel

Arrived to be advised that hotel air-conditioning NOT functioning on a day with temperatures well over 30c. I did NOT accept offer to stay in room away from sun with fans. Front manager cancelled my reservation, and provided cancellation number. Have tried multiple times through HOTELS.COM who take NO responsibility who say Hotel mgmt. refuses to even acknowledge their request for refund. Can only say that thieves run this hotel (and my first review in years of using HOTELS.COM)

The lady at the reception is very very friendly, the hotel is a little out of town, you park the car behind the hotel fence and it is safe. Positive opinion about the hotel, considering where you are in the south of Italy. If I can ever return to the city of Taranto I will sleep again in this hotel.
