    Pros +

    • Basic old style Italian accommodation. Great location near restaurants, the port and the fort.
    • Walking distance to ferry terminal OK for one night
    • excellent apartment, everything is clean and tidy. excellent location, good price. for each recommendation.

    Cons -

    • Has seen better days .little run down and overpriced
    • Everything else. Very old facilities, wifi din't reach my room properly. Strong smell of bleach in the shower, they probably tried to get rid of mold. Paper thin walls. Broken window. There's a handwritten sign asking to not lower the AC below 24C due to causing problems. Would be ok for 1/4 of the price
    • The lumpy pillows, not one english tv/news channel, mouldy shower curtain.The room and common areas were very tired and could have easily been improved at no expense with some TLC.

    Location, free and central parking, the towels, wifi. Nice Clean sheetsBreakfast, (although we were not advised by reception and only discovered on asking,).

    Perfect location - right on a large square

    The management was really unfriendly - that’s unusual for hospitality and incredibly unusual for Italians.

    5LisePosted on: 7-28-2022

    The only good thing is the location

    Dirty rooms, really old

    7StevenPosted on: 7-24-2022

    Super strategic location, walking distance from the harbour, right in the center of historical city of Portoferraio, and surrounded by many restaurants.

    For some people the room might be too small or too simple, the small room have fan, and the bigger room portable air conditioning.

    7ChrisPosted on: 7-19-2022

    This hotel was a pleasant surprise. We were a little concerned because of the reviews, but we had no choice, it was the only room available in Portoferraio at this time and our more expensive, highly rated, tiny, white boutique, B&B was booked. We had to move.Our room, at this hotel, was large with a high ceiling, a tiled floor and a large wooden window that opened to an excellent view of the piazza.The room had character - it was the real deal - made even more potent that the Wi-Fi password ended in 1941. We could have stayed here all summer - if only they had provided us with a kettle and refrigerator.

    Weak WiFi.The room could have been cleaner especially the lamp hanging from the ceiling.We felt forced out in the morning so housekeeping could clean.The rusty chairs on the outside veranda needed cushions.The reception staff were not friendly.

    The location is in the middle of the Old Town so walking to shopping, sites, ferry, beach and restaurants. The staff and family are very attentive and helpful. They helped book my return ferry with an amazing discount. The air conditioning is strong.

    Double pane windows would help with the noise. The early check-out.

    very nice Hotel with an atmosphere of a hostle. The breakfast is simple but its nice to sit on the terrasse with a view on the old town. It takes 15min to walk to the ferrys. The old harbour ist just 100m away.

    Nothing in particular...

    location and parking arrangements

    The place needs a complete refurbish from top to bottom. Breakfast was mean and miserable.

    5KristiPosted on: 7-2-2023

    Good location for me.

    It was a bit sad inside. Interiors desperately out of date and falling to bits.

    5ChristopherPosted on: 4-9-2023

    Passable

    Very lazy staff
