This is not a 4* hotel, just about a 3* ! It had probably been a grand hotel in the past but now neglected, with peeling paintwork etc. Large clean bedrooms, basic furniture & fittings, very small television but no English programmes.
You have to eat between 7.30pm & 8.30pm, but there is no English menu. So fine if you can read Italian or German, but best not to stay here if you require a special diet.
The staff were friendly, but we only met one receptionist who spoke a little English when we arrived.
We chose this hotel, because it was rated on Trip Adviser as No 1 of 48 hotels in Abano ? Can't understand why ?
We wanted to stay in Abano because of the Thermal baths, which is supposed to be good for arthritis & aches & pains etc.
This hotel like many others, in Abano, have the thermal waters piped directly in to the hotel pools.
So we tried to get some information about treatments & massage, but there was nothing in English & no one in the Baths spoke English ! I needed to let them know, before I had any treatment, what medication I was taking, plus the area for which I needed treatment.
I was extremely disappointed that I could not have any treatment. So when I visit Abano again, I will make sure that I stay in a hotel whose staff speak good English.
