Great little hotel next to train station. Easy walk to beach. Our visit was during off season so there were no other people in the hotel. The ladies in the breakfast area made us feel welcomed and at ease. Great place!

Unless you love trains all night, do not stay here
This was the strangest hotel we have stayed at on our trip. Halls were so dark we could hardly see to walk and I’m sure we were the only ones booked there. The train was literally right outside our window all night. I had a terrible night of sleep. Also, Hotels.com’s directions take you to the wrong location!!

Per me è un ritorno perché ho alloggiato qui altri anni. Ottima la colazione, vicino al mare e alla stazione. Il personale è gentile e disponibile a risolvere piccoli problemi che si verificano a volte in viaggio.

Struttura posizionata a due passi dal mare, nella vicinanza di stazione e parcheggio privato a pagamento. Condizioni interne della struttura nella media, pessimo servizio del personale, mai in grado di dare un’informazione e dall’atteggiamento costantemente poco rivolto al cliente. Servizio colazione pessimo con poca professionalità degli operatori. Buffet nella media.

La posizione della struttura a 2 passi dal lungomare di Scilla è già di per sé una splendida base di partenza , se poi aggiungiamo cortesia, gentilezza, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo abbiamo fatto il resto. Consigliatissimo !!!

Stanze ampie e ottimamente pulite, e materasso duro che personalmente apprezzo molto.
L'arredamento è un po' datato, ma molto dignitoso.
E il personale, assai gentile.
Sicuramente la stufetta elettrica (rumorosa a tenerla accesa la notte) e la reception presente solo al mattino non sono punti forti per un 4*, ma era anche bassa stagione e quasi vuoto per una località di mare quindi non così incomprensibile.
Colazione minima, immagino per lo stesso motivo, ma sufficiente

Soggiorno rilassante
Location con arredi classici, ma struttura pulita, ottimo confort, buono il servizio di prima colazione e personale estremamente disponibile. Notevole la posizione, uscendo dall'hotel si è a scarsi 100mt dal Lido convenzionato (sconto del 10%).

Grundsätzlich zufrieden. Mussten wegen Dachschrägen das Zimmer vom 3. Stock in Hochparterre wechseln. Zimmer viel kleiner, mussten aber den Preis des Vierbettzimmers bezahlen.
Nachschub beim Frühstück liess sehr zu wünschen übrig, teilweise bekamen wir keine Brötchen mehr.
Am Italienischen Nationalfeiertag war das Zimmer extrem lärmig…Hauptdurchgangsstrasse an den Lido!
Lage sehr gut.

Una buona soluzione nel centro di Scilla
Hotel in posizione centralissima a Scilla, camera di ampie dimensioni e colazione abbondante. Personale molto cordiale. Una nota negativa la scarsa insonorizzazione della camera dalla strada attigua e dalle altre stanze.
