It is my mistake to book this hotel and the hotel mistake to assign me room #108. I booked a seaview room for 3 nights over 4 months ahead, expecting to be assigned a nice room. Instead, we were given the worst room in the hotel. The room is a corner unit at the first floor, the street in front of the hotel turns at that corner. Italian car are exceptionaly noisy, particularly the fiat. To make thing worst, there is a manhole cover that makes extra noise every time a car runs on it. We tried closing all the windows but it won't help much. And the room is getting hot. They said Italian law does not allow turning the AC on in this season. The wall is also thin and the next door noisy is also getting through, sometime untile 3:00 midnight. I don't see the hotel has a lot of customers at this season and don't understand why they always give you a poor room unless you ask for something better. My mistake is not to ask at the first day. Once we settled in the room, it is too much headache to change. Overall the room is small, thought clean. Good is the shuttle and breakfast. Seaview is not that great, anyway, may be because of the low level. One side is totally blocked.
Will never come back.
Room Tip: May be a garden view room is better. Anything close to the street is a disaster. No #108.

Dear Valued Guest,
thank you for choosing Hotel Mediterraneo and for sharing your opinion on Tripadvisor. We care about our guests feedback.
Room 108 is a classic seaview and balcony room which is not our best category (we have superior rooms and terrace rooms after that) but a good one. It is a corner room with one window and one balcony. We have its picture on our website as classic sea view room so it is easy to understand what are you booking for. Most of our guests love it while you didn'tlike it. Well that' life. But if you just asked to us to be moved we could assign you a room on a upper floor. Some people prefer low floor with balcony and some people prefer upper floor (no balconies). There is not " too much headache" in moving in my opinion as we offer plenty of assistance in packing and moving.
Anyway we are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay; next time we will be pleased to offer you our best room if you just ask for it.
We apologize but in November we are not allowed (to help environment) to turn on air conditioning. Outside is 15°-20° C average during the day (colder at night) and lot of people ask for heating.
best regards
Pietro Monti
