Booked the hotel via Neckermann for a 6 days stay. Hotel was just perfect for a relaxing holliday in an old italian riviera town. Surroundings just perfect, a bit noise because it is situated just at the riviera coast street. We had the feeling as if we where 40 years back, together with the upperclass.
Service from the staff and the food was just perfect. We had both breakfeast and dinner all days. Very nice. The room was at the back, old furnished but clean.

Old, musty, but our room was clean...and the staff was friendly, especially the night desk clerk. Nice antiques, lovely view from our frontside balcony...noisy, but no more so than hotels in large cities. Breakfast was adequate...dinners fair.
Bottom-line - not high-end, overpriced...but an adequate hotel for 33% fewer Euros.

Oh how I agree with your other reviewers - I should have looked at this web-site before I visited this hotel for the week of 7 September 2004. "Faded grandeur" is correct and this hotel should in no way be even considered as 4* - it may have been in 1935. The food was appalling (we had to eat out most nights even though we had half board), sleep impossible because of traffic noise or if you closed the window you would have fried with the heat (no air conditioning). On top of all that it was manned by staff who obviously considered you were there for their convenience. I would suggest this hotel be given a decent burial as soon as possible.

This hotel was grand once, but that grandeur has now faded badly. Our room had a toilet which functioned intermittently. The food at breakfast was very poor, tasteless cheese, undrinkable coffee and very little choice. (Try the coffee shop in the park opposite for decent coffee and good service) Noisy at night time due to passing traffic. On the positive side you are surrounded by some lovely antiques and paintings, and the hotel bar is cosy if a little expensive. However, at the price we paid, we would not visit again.
