What a lovely hotel with a ton of character! Located at the end of the 'beach strip', it was nice and quiet, with an amazing view of the town, the beach and the coastline.
Our room was comfortable, and our view from the balcony was 10 out of 10.
There was a mini-fridge in the room stocked with water, but for some reason, guests are not allowed to store their own food or drinks inside (penalty is 5 euros/day) - we found this strange?
The staff were super friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast was really good - and the eating area had floor to ceiling windows with views of the beach. The pool was nice, warm and clean. Great location, just a 10-minute walk to shopping and restaurants. On Monday morning, there is an open market in the city center that was a lot of fun to visit! Staying at Scalea was definitely one of the highlights of our Italy trip - it was beautiful, quiet, and resort-like. We really enjoyed staying at the Grand Hotel De Rose and hope to stay there again.

The private beach access is great the breakfast was great. Room was clean and bed really comfy.

The downside was the Air conditioning didnt work, only the fan. We told the front desk staff twice the first night with no resolution (just checked something in the back office) the following morning we told them again. They sent someone who turned the thermostat down 2 degress but it was still not blowing cold air. We left the window closed and the fan running while gone for lunch the cleaners shut it off and opened the window to 28 degree weather which defeats the purpose of Ac.
Told the check out clerk on departure to complete disinterest.

Very frustrating experience and don't stay in room 215

Needs improvement

Air conditioning has a strong smell of sulphur, so can't use during the night. Small ants all over so don't leave food lying around. Beds are really soft so you might wake up with a bad back. Parking space is quite limited but we were able to manage without damaging anything. There is a minifridge in the room but you are not allowed to use it to store your own food or drinks in it. Bathroom is really tight but this was not an issue. But, of all this, the worst is that much of the staff (not all mind you) is uncaring. Uncaring about the state of the hotel, uncaring about the clients. The beach was nice with long chairs and ombrello inclusive. Good restaurants nearby. Breakfast is continental and very complete. Pool was very clean.

Would not go back

This hotel is not a 4 star hotel. The check in staff called over the older housekeeping staff to carry our bags! Ridiculous! The lifeguard at the Lido was more concerned with his girlfriend than anything else. The Lido itself offered nothing for kids - there were much better offerings a couple of doors down.The service at breakfast was terrible - no greeting or offer of coffee. Our shower drain blocked up and although we notified reception, they didn't notify anyone, which made for 2 days of incredibly short (max 2 minute) showers! The highlight of this hotel is the housekeeping staff, fabulous people!! This hotel is 3 star at best.

Nice Hotel, but a little bit worn out....

We stayed here because our friends were getting married in a nearby town. We chose the hotel because of the great location, and it is supposedly one of the best in the area.

Overall, we liked the hotel, but it needs some updating. The rooms were dark, although they had great views of hte ocean. The buffet breakfast was ok, but not great. Overall, it was pretty average.

Brilliant Hotel!

I have just returned from a 6 night stay at the Grand Hotel De Rose.

In brief, the hotel ticked all the boxes for me. Good food, great location, own beach with free umbrellas/sunbeds and was situated at the bottom of the cliff, directly underneath the hotel.

I was given a double room with sea view and balcony which was gorgeous to wake up to in the mornings. The staff at the hotel were pleasant and professional, though little English was spoken. I found my basic Italian useful whilst in Calabria and the locals seemed to appreciate my attempts.

I would not hesitate to return to this hotel in the future.

The hotel is decent and recently renovated. However, it’s clear that the original building had much greater potential than what was achieved after the renovation.

Unfortunately, we were quite unlucky during our stay. A rave took place about 50 meters from our window and lasted until 3am. The hotel did not offer any compensation for the disturbance.

Wir waren zu viert und 7 Tage vor Ort. Die Zimmer waren sauber und es gab jeden Tag frische Handtücher und das Bett war sauber bezogen. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend, sehr freundlich und bei Fragen hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war mehr als ausreichend und es gab einfach alles, von Salat bis zu den leckeren Croissants.
Von hier aus kann man gut Ausflüge unternehmen. Parkplätze am Hotel waren im Preis inbegriffen aber da das Hotel ausgebucht war mußte man jede Lücke nehmen. Wir hatten aber immer Glück. Essen konnte man landestypisch an der Strandbar was sehr lecker und Abends sehr praktisch war da man nicht irgendwo was suchen musste. Wir hatten auch Auswärts bei Ausflügen gegessen aber das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis, die Qualität und Auswahl war stimmig, und erst der Sonnenuntergang. Wenn wir wieder nach \"Calabria\" in dieser Gegend fahren ist das Hotel unsere erste Wahl.

Opholdet levede desværre ikke op til vores forventninger. Havde forventet højere værelsesstandard ift. prisen. Værelset var slidt ift. de billeder der var vist på booking.coms side. Badeværelset lugtede desværre meget af kloak og lyset i entren flimmerede/blinkede. Det vi oplevede burde være opdaget af rengøringspersonalet og ordnet inden værelset blev meldt klar. Værelset var desværre i øvrigt ikke klar ved vores ankomst kl. 16. Super skøn strand ved hotellet med gratis solsengen og parasol.

Vermutlich bestes und größtes Hotel in Scalea

Die Lage des Hotels zu Scalea und dem Strand ist super. Über das Hotelgelände kommt man zu Fuß in wenigen Minuten an den Strand. Schirm und liegen sind im Preis inbegriffen.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Meerblick. Das Zimmer war geräumig mit genügend Stauraum für Kleidung. Das Bad klein, aber ausreichend mit etwas größerer Dusche.
Das Frühstück war leider unterdurchschnittlich und nicht sehr abwechslungsreich. Der Frühstücksraum ist Richtung Meer mit viel Glasfront. Die kann jedoch nicht geöffnet werden, das die beweglichen Fensterelemente nachträglich abgedichtet wurden.
Das kpl. Hotelgebäude ist schon in die Jahre gekommen, dennoch war alles sauber.

Spiaggia molto bella, organizzata e pulita, era presente ogni tipo di comfort, partendo dal bar con uno staff gentilissimo e finendo alle docce calde gratuite, molto comode. L’albergo è grande, molto pulito e dispone anche di una bella piscina con vista mare. L’arredamento forse è un po’ da rivedere essendo un po’ datato però nel complesso è stato tutto molto bello.

Struttura posta alla porte di scalea, con stanze che affacciano sul mare, anche se non abbiamo dovuto prendere quella che affacciano sulla montagna, la stanza era nel complesso accettabile con frigo bar e aria condizionata e cassaforte, l’ arredo era un po’ antico ma tenuto bene, il bagno ristrutturato risultava almeno quello della nostra stanza un po’ stretto soprattutto lo spazio tra il water ed il bidet nella doccia mancava una mensilità per appoggiare il bagnoschiuma. Il lido dell’hotel non era niente di che è lo stesso per il ristorante sulla spiaggia,c’è una piscina con bar annesso sotto l’albergo molto carina. Colazione buona, molto completa nelle scelte, e con affacciata sul litorale. Insomma nel complesso è da provare soprattutto la parte delle camere che affacciano sul mare che sembrano più curate,il personale e molto gentile e simpatico. Con qualche accorgimento sicuramente gli avrei dato un giudizio più positivo.

The hotel is located next to the beach. Guests have access to a private beach which is nice. The hotel is quite outdated but it is clean. Service was not the best. Missing information at check in, no one in the pool to order drinks, lack of enthusiam. Breakfast was not that good. You need to preorder what you want for breakfast the day before. It was a little bit messy. The bread was dry, eggs not cooked enough. It was a passable stay for one night.
