“Three stars are just a joke!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2006
5
people found this review helpful

I was booked into this hotel for a week as part of an artist's retreat. I knew I wasn't going to be happy from the minute I walked into the lobby (about 10 square feet) and discovered that my room was on the third floor and no elevator. I struggled with my suitcase up three flights of stairs only to find one of the worst rooms I have ever seen. It had one bulb in the ceiling to light the entire room and no reading lights near the bed. The bathroom was tiny and not very clean...and the odor was just overwhelming. I was forced to stay one night but got out of there the very next morning and found another hotel. Other reviewers have tried to pass this hotel off as a charming bed and breakfast type establishment, but there is charming and then there is dump - Hotel Sabrina falls into the latter category.

“Great hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2006

We stayed in the top floor suite of Hotel Sabrina. The management is very friendly and accomodating. The grandmother serves the breakfast in the morning and makes "to-order" coffee of choice. The bathroom showers are pretty small but that is pretty normal in Italy. The location was phenomenal as a walk to the center was only three minutes. Very close to cafe's and shopping. We received hugs from both the grandmother and daughter on our last day there! :)

“Wonderful stay at Hotel Sabrina”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2006

people found this review helpful

The Hotel Sabrina was the best hotel our family group stayed at during our trip. Both double rooms were very comfortable, clean and quiet. The breakfast was large and delicious, including homemade bread & jam, cereal, yogurt, juice and cappuccino. It's a very short walk from the town center. We travelled by train & bus so driving & parking wasn't a concern. Not all the staff spoke English (but it is Italy) but we had no trouble communicating with our very limited Italian.
The price was very reasonable at 75 Euro (off season rate).

“Don't believe Sabrina's 3-star rating”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2005

people found this review helpful

The Sabrina's management staff is friendly and helpful, but the hotel doesn't deserve 3-star rating, even in Italy. The location, not far off the town piazza, is the main strong point. Located in a hard to get to, narrow, street, and there is no elevator, so guests have to carry luggage up a steep stairway. Rooms are small of course, but the big issue is the bathrooms. Basically the bathroom floor is the shower floor ... the shower water flows to a drain in the middle of the floor, so there's no dry floor to step onto from the shower. The shower area itself is so small that you constantly have to peel the shower curtain off your backside. It's pretty awful. The family who runs the place are all nice, but only the daughter speaks English, so if she's not there it's tough to communicate effectively.
