The staff were very welcoming and easy to deal with. We had an issue with the room initially that was resolved quickly. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere.

Relaxing stay ideal for short break

We stayed here for 4 nights/3 days as a mother-daughter trip.

Hotel had good amenities, lovely pool area with lots of sun loungers and waking through the apartments you are the beautiful private beach (cost €6 a day to hire a lounger).

Staff were great, so friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. Everyone said hello and particularly shout out the the two ladies on reception who went out their way to book us train tickets, arrange taxis to/from airport (including a refund after being overcharged - should be €35 each way).

We had a standard twin room. Enough space for us and appreciates the fridge, tv and balcony. Air con was noisy so didn’t tend to use it, but was good for what we needed. Nice view of the town and could see the sea and the mountains. The room comes with some many complimentary toiletries, inc razor and cream, shampoo, shower gels and toothbrush/toothpaste, which was more than standard so was very impressed.

Breakfast was a buffet. No hot food. Just breads, cereals, cakes, pastries etc

Great location to explore the Reggio Calabria area without a car (train station is a 10 min walk) so we took a day trip to Scilla and Messina.

Hotel and general area were very quiet, could be as we came to end of season so there is only really 1-2 places to eat. We ate in the restaurant one night, good food but the servers were preoccupied with a private function so they never asked if we wanted drinks or dessert. The cafe at the lido was good value and tasty panins.

The hotel was clean but the shower was so tiny, you couldn’t even close the door in order to fit in it. Nowhere in the description did it say there was no maid service. The mattress on the bed was so flat and probably the most uncomfortable thing I ever slept on. The TV has no service. They charge you for a beach chair. You have to carry your luggage to and from the room. This is far from a 4 star hotel and not worth the money.

Quiet location, 15 minute drive to RC airport

Our one night stay was fine--the rooms were pleasant, the wake up call was on time, and the staff happily made us coffee even at the ungodly hour of 4:30 am! There is free, first-come parking in front of the hotel, and inexpensive paid parking in a garage.

Very short walk to beach

Decent old hotel which is very close to the beach. Air conditioning was fair at best. Staff was great, particularly Francesco, our waiter/busboy for breakfast and dinner - very charming and engaging with all 3 of us. The dinners at the hotel were good, but there isn't much else near the hotel.

Thank God we were on the Mainland!!!

Very comfortable room, great bathroom, booked the room from the ferry crossing the straits of Messina! A two minute walk to the beach. Beautiful pool. Dinner served at tables around the pool and delightful jazz (recorded) as the dinner music. We were happy to be here!

Regent Hotel Catona, Reggio di Calabria

We only stayed one night and we were very satisfied. The hotel deserves its 4 star rating. The staff were friendly and efficient. We ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel and we were very satisified with the cost and quality of both. Car parking is secure in a garage. We didn't have time to test the pool and the outside lounging area, but the area was well maintained.

A good hotel that served us well as a stopover as we prepared to cross to Sicily the next morning.

A gem in the rough

Nice stay, beautiful facilities, but the neighborhood is a bit dicey, especially in the off season. Staff weren't too keen on helping find a place to eat or with any other request, and other loud guests staying up all night didn't help the situation either. More of a business hotel than a place to relax and enjoy the views...

Disappointed

The hotel staff was the highlight of this hotel, friendly warm and very accommodating.
The hotel was dant and musty. We changed rooms 3 times and wound up in a room that still smelled and had ants. The breakfast was terrible! The hotel is off the beaten track halfway between Reggio Di Calabria and the ferry terminal to Messina.
It is possible that an April trip (off season?) is significantly different that one during the summer months?

Assolutamente traumatico, pulizia pari a zero. Le camere sono inadatte, degradate. Zanzare ovunque che disturbano il sonno e sangue nelle pareti. Sconsigliato.

Alcuni membri del personale poco professionali e impreparati.
Poca chiarezza su servizi a disposizione e sul relativo prezzo. Esempio: servizio spiaggia con ombrellone, inserito tra i servizi a disposizione, ma non specificato ne prezzo, ne tantomeno che fosse a pagamento!
Struttura che ha vissuto anni d’oro almeno una 40ina di anni fa, risulta oramai fuori tempo.
Aria condizionata centralizzata non regolabile autonomamente.
Colazione scarsa con scelte limitate a prodotti per lo più confezionati.
Pochissima predisposizione alla cura dell’ospite in generale e pessimo trattamento. Alla richiesta di aggiunta di un ospite è stato preteso l’intero pagamento di una stanza con tariffa intera (la camera era la stessa matrimoniale già prenotata, non c’è stato nemmeno bisogno di aggiungere un letto).
Tra i servizi della camera, oltretutto, non sono nemmeno stati cambiati gli asciugamani.
Piscina mai utilizzata.
Im-regentabile.

Gewollt und nicht gekonnt!

Name und Empfangshalle versprechen mehr als das Hotel halten kann. Das Frühstück war eine Frechheit. Die Tischdecken waren noch vom Vorabend verschmutzt. Es gab ausschließlich Fischmesser und das Bufett war ausgesprochen lieblos hergerichtet (die Cornflakes wurden in zerbeulten Originalkartons angeboten).
Aus der Dusche kam nur tröpfchenweise Wasser - später funktionierte sie wieder besser. Wahrscheinlich kann nur eine bestimmte Anzahl an Leuten gleichzeitig duschen.
Das einzig gute an diesem Hotel ist der Umstand, dass man nur 5 Min. zur Fähre nach Messina braucht.

Das Hotel hat bestimmt schon bessere Zeiten erlebt. Beim Frühstück muß reichlich Abstriche machen, lediglich der Kaffee konnte begeistern!
