I stayed at the hotel for a week and it was a beautiful hotel. The staff were very friendly. The grounds were beautiful. It’s very close to the beach. About 20 minutes and maybe a half hour walking back before it’s all up hill but worth it. There’s a market and a pharmacy just down the road for fresh deli meats and vegetables. The complimentary breakfast buffet was really good. The dinners are fantastic. It’s really inexpensive to eat there. It’s a bit out of the way but that’s fine. I used public transportation to the hotel. They have a shuttle service from where the last bus drops you off. It’s only €25. But going back to the airport from the hotel you are going to need the shuttle service. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to visit southern Italy. Ciao.

The staff were very pleasant and the breakfast and dinner we enjoyed. The room and bathroom need urgent updating. It was the tiniest shower I’ve ever been in. No room to turn around. The hotel,generally needs maintenance.

We had only one night to stay in this hotel that seemed to be a five star in old days on our way back to Rome. Our room was very clean and spacious with a very nice view of the sea. I also enjoyed using the indoor swimming pool. The staff were also very nice and helpful. the breakfast was very limited and I think it was because not many people were staying at our time. By the way there was a pizzeria restaurant close by called Bambu. Their food was excellent

Loved the pool. Parking was great and easy. Location was easy to find. Staff were helpful.
Showers were very small. Bathrooms smelled a bit - plumbing problems perhaps need fixing.
Hotel is a bit dated and needs a renovation.

Beautiful hotel with a panoramic view of Sicily

The facility and staff were so awesome, that we stayed an extra night.

The proximity to the mountaintop village of Palmi was a plus. Be sure to visit it when staying at this hotel.

Very Good Hotel

I very much enjoyed my stay and this luxury hotel in late September, very few guests so I was the only one using an excellent pool. Ate in a small restaurant/ hotel on the beach and was one of just three customers to enjoy a good dinner and spectacular sunset over the see with Scicily and it's island clearly seen against the red sky.

Hotel in Palmi

Beautiful hotel with great facilities. The entelman on reception was friendly and welcoming, spoke fluent english and helpful. Did not get clear reception with wifi in the rooms so had to be in common areas to use it. The restaurant, pool are and te balcony overlooking the clean really made it fell like a 5 star resort. The rooms were ok but they did have a musty smell about them other than that great experience.

Superb hotel in strange location

This is a really top hotel but the surrounding town is very down at heel. The hotel is rather hard to find and we arrived on a Sunday when there was a wedding reception on , so very busy. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food at night in restaurant was very good but limited menu, not expensive. Breakfast was not quite up to the usual standard but OK. Good size room but hard bed. Room well equipped for Italy. Pool is fantastic. Good size secure carpark with 24 hour surveillance.

Terribile, sembra l’hotel di “Shining”. Tutto fermo agli anni 70, ambienti molto grandi è molto vuoti, come abbandonati. Colazione scarsa senza buffet, posate sporche e rovinate (coltelli anneriti). Ha l’aria di un posto che sta per chiudere; o di una scena di un film Horror.
Il personale di poche parole, sembra rassegnato.
Assolutamente da evitare.

Arrivati, abbiamo subito chiesto il cambio camera, perché il terzo letto (fatto da un divano letto) si presentava rotto e con la tappezzeria strappata e inoltre molto corto. L’immobile Al tempo dell’inaugurazione sarà stato molto bello, ma adesso decadente, con evidenti problemi di infissi interni e esterni. Le camere con mobilia obsoleta è rotta. Il bagno con una cabina doccia delle dimensioni di una vecchia cabina telefonica. Colazione con poca scelta. Personale cordiale e disponibile. Da evitare.

Avevamo solo un piccolo bagno anche se c'era tutto. Ottima colazione. Sicuramente da consigliare perche' abbiamo visto anche un'ottima disponibilita' nel risolvere disguidi che hanno avuto altre persone.

Bom custo benefício

Quarto espaçoso com vista maravilhosa para o mar. Piscina incrível. Para melhor aproveitamento do local, é importante saber que precisa sempre de um carro pra acessar a praia ou a bares e restaurantes. Estacionamento é gratuito. O café da manhã é bom, mas sem muitas opções. Unica coisa que deixou a desejar foi o wifi. Todos os dias precisava pegar uma nova senha e era só ficar meia hora sem mexer no celular que o wifi caía e as vezes nem conectava novamente com a tal senha que era fornecida no dia.

Schrecklich

Vor 20 Jahren sicherlich das Erste Haus am Platz, heute nur noch die Karikatur eines 4 Sterne Hotels.
Der Innenpool existiert nicht mehr, der Außenpool und die Anlagen schmutzig und ungepflegt, der Hotelparkplatz mit Zufahrt schlaglochübersät.
Die Massivholzmöbel im Zimmer vermackt und abgewohnt, das Bad verdreckt und aus allen Fugen wuchert großflächig der Schimmel. Der Jacuzzi hat schon vor Jahren die Funktion aufgegeben und kann nur noch als völlig verdreckte Duschtasse genutzt werden. Das Wlan ist langsam, dafür aber instabil und stürzt mehrfach täglich ab.
Das Frühstück ist für italienische Verhältnisse unter dem Durchschnitt, im internationalen Vergleich also erbärmlich. Die Speisenqualität im Restaurant geht von mäßig bis ungenießbar, einzig die Preise haben gehobenes Niveau.
Abgerundet wird das einzigartige Erlebnis dann durch diskoartige 90 dB Randale mitten in der Woche bis 2 Uhr Morgens.
Die Betreiber dieses Hotels sind anscheinend redlich und erfolgreich bemüht aus diesem Haus eine Ruine zu machen.

Disappointing

The hotel is a beautiful building, with wallpapered rooms, solid wooden furniture and a balcony in each room. Unfortunately, all this is ruined by the current running of the hotel.
The receptionist did not even greet us as we arrived, sopping wet from the rain. He assigned us to rooms that needed fixing, when over 90% of the hotel was empty. This makes us question whether those rooms were the best they had, or if reception was unaware of the issues. We were too intimidated to ask for a change of rooms.
The receptionist's attitude was completely contrasted by the maitre d's. He was helpful, polite and well-mannered.

Points positifs : environnement idyllique, magnifique vue sur la mer, la Sicile et les îles éoliennes.
Bon rapport qualité/prix. Buffet petit déjeuner copieux.
Points négatifs : cet hôtel ne mérite plus ses 4 étoiles (mobilier vieillissant, la salle de bain aurait besoin d'être refaite (les marbres ont perdu leur brillance, sanitaires incrustés de calcaire, WC qui fuit... une minuscule cabine de douche il ne faut pas être trop grand ou trop corpulent pour pouvoir se doucher, les rideaux, le couvre lit, le mobilier, les tapisseries auraient besoin d'être changé....)
Souvent des manifestations : mariages, anniversaires... du coup le parking est plein, la piscine impraticable.
La connexion Wi-Fi (il faut s'enregistrer tout un processus assez complexe.....)
Le personnel est sympathique sauf une réceptionniste qui est très désagréable (elle n'est vraiment pas à sa place, à la limite de l'impolitesse, une mégère.....)
