The staff were more than excellent. The room and the sea view/castle view were excellent. The breakfast was unbelievably excellent with so many food/drink options.
I didn’t swim in the pool as it wasn’t as blue as pictured in the advertisement (was a shade of green/couldn’t see the bottom) but the thermal pools were nice and relaxing. And the beach/sea access was perfect and well maintained. Would highly recommend this relaxing atmosphere with wonderful views. Everything we wanted to do was walkable and very close to the ferry port and down a quiet beautiful street.

The hotel is in a good location. It is a short walk to the beaches and not far from the main port which has plenty of options for food/drink.

Hotel reception was great for booking tours, transfers to the port, ferry times etc.

All staff were friendly and helpful.

Pool loungers were busy/full at times but the hotel has a private beach area which also has loungers.

Pools are an ick

Would have been nice to know they had a shuttle service before our ride back to port. Hotel room was nice, broken glass off the balcony. What annoyed us however was Their pools were very very dirty and full on algae which was disappointing as that’s why we came to stay and wanted to sit in the once we were done at the beach. The large pool was bright green which no one went into (being a pool owner I know how unsafe that can be) and another pool had a layer of sediment and algae on the walls and floor.

Truly a 5 star experience!

The rooms are well furnished and clean. The location is amazing, close proximity to the town (5 minute walk) & the private beach access is super convenient.

The staff was awesome, from the shuttle service with Ciro, to Giulia at the front desk. They were all very welcoming, accommodating and available throughout the entirety of our stay.
The cleaning staff, breakfast crew and lifeguards were always kind and willing to offer their services whenever needed. All very professional and friendly!

I would highly recommend booking a stay at Punta Molino & I am hoping to be back real soon!

From the ferry ride we received a text informing us the hotel had a driver at the dock to pick us up.
At check in we received Rockstar treatment.
The room (we have 3) are all clean bright and well decorated.
The restaurant is fantastic.
The beach and pool are both nice and well staffed.
We decided to extend another day to enjoy the property a little longer.

Calm and Secluded

Love the Island of Ischia and booked the Punta Molino not knowing it. The hotel was great. Their staff were helpful and attentive from the beach staff to the concierge. The rooms were constantly cleaned and the views at breakfast spectacular. The hotel is located a 5 min walk from the main strip, but is tucked away in it's own grounds so it feels calm and secluded, perfect for a romantic get away.

Faded elegance

First, I need to note that the people are very nice . Sadly it’s an older hotel with old everything to match. Hard bed. A/C won’t go below 80°! And shades don’t block light. Even though I got a free upgrade, I left early. Also the absolute worst massage. It was free and I still ended it early. Was just a woman quickly rubbing oil on me. So uncomfortable. Asked for deep and she said she didn’t do that the hotel itself looks like it was beautiful 50 years ago. And hasn’t changed since.

Nice staff, tired decor and unpleasant smell.

So. There were definitely positive aspects - the service was mostly excellent, and the grounds of the hotel were lovely- from the gardens to the pool to the beach. Breakfast was also quite nice. The decor of the hotel was hard to get past - very tired, old 1960s kitsch. The gym was also Spartan and had no A/C. The biggest issue was that my room smelled strongly of smoke- it was clearly deeply embedded in the sad old furniture, because the hotel had just reopened and the smell was strongest after I came home from dinner and the maids had closed the door to the balcony. When I asked to switch rooms, the front desk said that the smell was merely from a nearby guest smoking on an adjacent balcony- which was clearly not the case. Also, the A/C didn’t seem to work.
If this property had a major renovation, it would have a ton of potential- until then, I’d skip it.

Property has an amazing location which quiet and close to everything you need at the same time. Hotel needs some renovations to be better aligned with 5-star property. Food in the restaurant for dinner wasn’t good and it was impossible to find a la cart menu in English. Bar options and breakfasts are really good. Personnel of the hotel is amazing and trying to make our stay as pleasant as possible

Beautiful hotel right on a small beach. Each morning, I enjoyed a delicious breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea, then took a flight of stairs down to the beach to go swimming. Very friendly helpful staff. Beautiful immaculate room with comfortable beds. Wonderful AC -- I was actually too cold but left it like this, enjoying the option to be cold :)

Great hotel, older crowd, terrible massage

Punta Molino was a wonderful place to stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with wonderful options and the grounds are lovely. The only caveat to a 5-star review would be for the spa. I got a “rest and relaxation” massage and it felt like the masseuse was just rubbing oil on me with no pressure. She didn’t speak English but I tried to gesture and use as many Italian words as possible to explain that I wanted her the apply more pressure to no avail. It was the worst massage I’ve ever had. She also started the massage with me on my stomach on the table with a pillow propped up for me to lay my head on. This made me have to turn my face to one side and crooked my neck up in an uncomfortable, hyperextended position. I finally took out the pillow and figured out a way to lay my head straight down, but the first few minutes were awful. I don’t know if this is just how Italian massages are or if it was the specific type of massage I got, but i would definitely steer clear of that one. Another thing to note is that the crowd is definitely an older one....most guests were 60+. This definitely isn’t a party hotel so if that’s what you’re looking for, stay elsewhere.

Beach front hotel

Excellent location, but very tired. Hotel hasn’t been renovated for decades. No key cards for your rooms, just old fashion keys which you suppose to return to front desk. The beach is very small , and I mean VERY small . A lot of nice spots get prebooked by the people who are checked in before you, and they get to keep it till the end of their stay.
When I tried to complain about it , the response was that it’s not Miami Beach. The average age of hotel guests is over 60. And that’s sets the tone .
The receptionist Yelena was great and very helpful

I’d come back despite the shortcomings

No hot water in bathroom on several occasions. Went unshaven on last day.
Wi-fi not operational 3 days of the stay. Lovely thermal swimming pool spoilt by poor cleanliness. Floor not swept/washed for 3 days with plastic wrapping debris/muddy footprints left unattended. Spa looking a little jaded.
Service absolutely superb especially in restaurant and front desk.
Lovely locale with delightful views from small secluded beach area. Easy stroll down to the harbour and fabulous food. Delightful gardens. Secluded area. A very restful and enjoyable holiday.

3 star at best!

This hotel does not deserve to be considered a 5 star, not even a 4 star. It is a 3 star at best. Although there are some good features about this hotel the problems outweigh the good.
-the newly washed towels always smell like rancid oil.
-you can't take a comfortable shower because the water temperature is constantly getting much hotter than you set it and then much colder and this continues throughout every shower you take.
-the so called spa has one worker on site. We booked a manicure for my girlfriend and a pedicure for myself, which we asked to have simultaneously done at 12 pm and when we arrived the spa was empty. When the lady finally arrived she informed us that it would be one after the other. We didn't have the time do we cancelled the appointments.
-the safes in our room and another couple's room traveling with us were not screwed down to anything, therefore not offering any sense of security.
-on one of the days the maid turned down my a/c and left my balcony door unlocked and partially opened.
-on my last night there my a/c stopped working.
All in all I was glad to be leaving from my 4 night trip to Ischia.
I would not stay here again and not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The hotel does have a couple of good service oriented people that I'd like to mention. Ciro, the gentleman that picked us up in the shuttle at the port and Martina that works in the outdoor bar.

Didn't enjoy our stay - found reception rude and unhelpful . No point in getting a premium room as u will be disturbed by the music unless you are in bed after 11.30 then the breakfast tables get laid at 6.30 so u are wide awake again . I will say lovely room and view but no
sleep. Like being back in the 80s when people get up at the crack of dawn to put books towels etc on the beds even though some don't even turn up during the day. Very amusing island itself is perfect and position of hotel is good they just need to make more of an effort to some guests

Excellent hotel.

VERY GOOD HOTEL. CONVENIENT LOCATION. BEAUTIFUL SERVICE. The staff was wonderfully attentive, not imposing.
A buffet breakfast was served on the terrace and offered all possible variety of products. All products are fresh and delicious and the restaurant service is superb.The room was amazing with a nice balcony and a beautiful view.
The hotel overlooks its own private beach with ample chaise longue, overlooking the neighboring island of Procida and the impressive Castle of Castello Aragones. In the evening, at the piano bar, we had the opportunity to listen to very talented musicians and got a real pleasure from their singing.
In general, the atmosphere was relaxed everywhere, and all the staff were immaculately presented and friendly. We always had help from employees on any questions and advice. Thanks to all the hotel's STAFF for their attention to us. Thanks to them, we had one of the best vacation and we will definitely return to our next summer.
The best recommendations for all.

Excellent hotel/spa

Wonderful hotel/spa on the coast with termal water open pool, next to a regular pool and with other termal facilities.
The rooms are spacious and many with terraces. Cleanliness is excellent. The ample surrounding grounds are very well kept as a garden/park.
The in house restaurant is first rate and there are other very good restaurants very close by.
Prices are adequately high but well worth the experience.

Lovely friendly hotel

We had a very enjoyable week at the hotel in mid September. Weather was great. Very friendly staff, nice location. Hotel very comfortable in a slightly old fashioned style. We were half board and had very nice evening meals - first course of four is an amazing buffet, followed by a served pasta course and a main course and then a sweet buffet. Nice beach and plenty of sun beds to go round. The pool attendants will keep the same beds for you each day so you don't have to get up early with the beach towels! Would go back again.

Per finire quando ho fatto presente che nonostante avessi pagato il soggiorno comprensivo di colazione mi erano stati addebitati 20 euro al giorno per il servizio colazione in camera che era previsto oltre a quello che avevamo consumato. Cappuccino caffè lungo e succo d’arancia. Non sapendo cosa dire mi è stato detto che è normale che se non si fa colazione a buffet si paga il servizio in camera e tutto quello che si consuma . Una vera vergogna. La questione non meritava certo di ulteriore approfondimento ma credo che sia molto importante che io debba far presente quanto accaduto perché è veramente indecoroso quanto accaduto.

Hyggelig og rolig i off-season

Meget hyggelig hotel og betjening. Hovedgrunn til at det ikke ble topp score hele veien var manglende vannkoker og kaffe/te på rommet. Kommer gjerne tilbake.
