I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were a bit basic and outdated, the service was exceptional. The location was seaside, which was nice, but the dining options could have been more Italian. The facilities were decent, but there was an odd smell of fresh paint in the rooms.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. Although the room was very clean and tidy, it was a bit small and located up in the attic with no window or view. On the upside, the service was exceptional with the staff going above and beyond, organizing hire cars and taxis. The hotel's location was perfect, right by the beach where you could rent beach chairs for good prices, but it felt a bit crowded. The dining experience was a bit disappointing as the only fruit available was tinned apricots in sweet syrup. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel had friendly and helpful staff who made the stay pleasant.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were exceptionally pleasant and hospitable, but my room was a pokey place up in the attic with no window or view. While the room was a bit small and had very little in it, the service from the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The location was perfect, especially being near the beach, but it was a bit crowded. The dining offered a wide selection, although it could be a bit more Italian with some local dishes or vegetables. The facilities were sufficient for my needs.

Staying in this hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were simple but clean and well-appointed, they were located in the attic, making them feel quite claustrophobic at times. The odd smell of fresh paint was also off-putting. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to help, from organizing hire cars to being genuinely nice and helpful. The location was perfect for my needs, close to the event venue in Cervia for the Festivaldanza 2013 with the Maltese Delegation, though it was a bit crowded. The dining experience was a highlight, with amazing choices and an endless supply of excellent coffee. However, the hotel lacked certain facilities, and the price felt a bit steep for what was offered.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, though simple, were clean and well-appointed; however, my stay coincided with Bingo hours which became disruptive. The service was friendly, but there was an incident where my 'do not disturb' sign was not respected. The location was seaside and convenient but lacked the expected tranquility due to nearby activities. The dining options left something to be desired with limited fresh fruit available. The facilities were decent, but there were some notable issues to be aware of.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were quite small and didn't correspond to what I expected, they were clean. The constant Bingo games in the nearby function room were a downside. On the bright side, the service went above and beyond with car hires and taxis, but not always respecting the 'do not disturb' sign. The location near the beach and friendly staff were highlights, but the crowded area and sickly sweet syrup tone were drawbacks. The dining had good choices, though lacking local dishes, and the facilities were decent.
