Beach facilities included in room rate. Small pebble beach near hotel (but clean). Walking distance to old "town" and ferry port (about 10 min.) Definitly, it's not 4* place, not even normal 3* but offensively overpriced. Rooms are tiny, modestly furnished. Rooms are more or less clean. Bathroom was so compact, a kind of "chamber pot with handke inside" with a hole in thew red floor instead of buth or shower cabin. No 4* facilities. Breakfast... well, THEY should pay to guests for this tiny cold tasteless nothing. Very thin wall with corridor. Roomservice starts to work at 8 a.m. and they're VERY loud. Stairs are heaped with packs of used bedding so it more looks like refugee camp. Simply rent 2-3 or apts. There and pay as it really shall cost. Or best choice, try to find accomodation somwhere out of Portoferraio. Rio Marina on the sothern shore of Elba looks attractive + have faster ferry connection (20-40') vs. Portoferraio (1h 10') and options to visit Pianosa and Monte-Cristo isles.

It was well signposted. Minimal staff tried to do their best. Did not speak much English. Bathroom is very small - showering was difficult. Sound proofing was mentioned in the brochure - this is probably best left out in the future. Could hear the person in the next room snoring

Proximité plage. Terrasse de la chambre au 2me. Association avec le restaurant "la Sirène" (bon !). Accueil sympathique. Parking devant l'hôtel (mais c'était en avril !). Centre ville 300m à pied. Vue sur la citadelle. Simplement 3 points à connaître : pas d'ascenseur, le parking de l'hôtel est à 300m (mais il existe), vue sur jardin mais pas de vraie vue "mer" (on l'aperçoit néanmoins de la terrasse mais elle est cachée par les arbres du jardin public...).

Le sole note positive sono la posizione, la colazione e la gentilezza del personale con il quale ho interagito. Pessime camere difficili da raggiungere con una rampa di scale esterne che non finivano mai, condizionatore rumorosissimo, frigorifero vuoto. Non vale assolutamente il prezzo pagato.

La posizione molto vicina al centro e al porto In generale, soddisfacente, ma le camere e i bagni(io ho soggiornato nella camera N° 14) x essere un 4 stelle sono assolutamente inadeguate

Die Lage ist sehr gut... Man ist schnell am Meer, in der Altstadt oder bei der Fähre!! Zimmer und Bad waren sehr sauber und die Mitarbeiter/innen sehr freundlich...!! Frühstück war auch ganz ok gewesen.. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht, wir hatten unsere Hotelzimmertür oftmals einige minuten lang auf lassen müssen, um etwas von der frischen Luft, die wohl von der gut funktionierten Klimaanlage im Flur statt fand, abzubekommen!! Das Hotel ist aber keine 4 Stern wert, höchstens 3Sterne... Weil Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis stimmt nicht so ganz!! Aber sonst war alles ganz ok gewesen...

la posizione, la sistemazione delle camere, il servizio della spiaggia Non si può dire che qualche cosa non mi sia piaciuta, ma non ritengo di poter classificare un albergo di 4 stelle come presentato visto che manca l'ascensore ed anche se sono solo 2 piani, per persone cardiopatiche rimane sempre un problema, sui tavoli il vasetto con i fiori finti è certamente un sintomo di eleganza.

L'hotel è in un ottima posizione, ideale per chi vuole trascorrere qualche giorno in relax! servizio ombrellone e lettini nella bellissima spiaggia delle ghiaie, ristorante sulla spiaggia. Il ristorante dell'hotel non è compreso, e non vi sono neppure sconti per i clienti dell'hotel. Il bagno, nonostante non sia minuscolo, non dispone del piano doccia, ben si utilizza lo scolo direttamente sul pavimento, la doccia ne risulta piccola e poco pratica.

Posizione super comoda e strategica! Vicino c'e' centro storico e 3 spiagge bellissime: Ghiae, Padulella, Capo bianco. Consiglio l ultime due. Piaciuta terrazza con il tavolino, colazione buonissima, staff gentile e disponibile. Consiglio ristorante dell'albergo con vista mare, ottima cucina! Forse la mattina si sente un po di vicini. Non aspettate 4 stelle lussuosissimi come in centro di Londra, ma c'e' tutto e per il posto la struttura e' buona. Abbiamo girato tutti gli alloggi a Portoferraio in questa zona. Meglio non si trova. Consiglio questo albergo.

albergo comodo al porto e al centro città. Bel terrazzo l'hotel è un 4 stelle ma secondo me sarebbero già troppe 3, arredamento obsoleto, mobili scrostati o rattoppati, mensole del bagno crepate. i bagno è piccolo e il box doccia è pieghevole e pertanto mentre fai la doccia si bagna tutto il bagno anche perchè non sta perfettamente chiuso e lavarsi è scomodissimo. non mi sembra un bagno da 4 stelle.

Die Lage ist sehr gut: Man ist schnell am Meer oder in der Altstadt oder beim Busbahnhof oder bei der Fähre. Freundliche MitarbeiterInnen.Wir mussten schon um 7.00h aus dem Hotel wegen der Fähre und erhielten extra ein Frühstück! Toller Balkon mit Sicht auf Meer. Preis-Leistungs- Verhältnis ist I.O. Wie auch schon bei anderen Kommentaren: das Hotel ist wirklich extrem ringhörig (nicht von der Strasse). Das Schnarcheln des Nachbars, tv etc. hört sich an wie im eigenen Zimmer. Also nur für TiefschläferInnen zu empfehlen.

Vom Hotel aus sind es nur wenige Gehminuten zum Hafen und zum Stadtzentrum. Der Balkon ist groß und mit Liegestühlen ausgestattet. Das Zimmer hatte einen großen Balkon aber keine direkte Sicht aus´s Meer weil ein Park mit hohen Bäumen dazwischen liegt. Das Meer ist nur wenige Schritte entfernt aber an dieser Stelle nicht besonders schön, genauso wenige wie die Promenade. Das Zimmer war nicht gerade modern ausgestattet und roch etwas merkwürdig. Das ganze Hotel ist im etwas älterem Stil eingerichtet. Das Hotel hat keine eigenen Parkplätze und man musste einige Minuten suchen bis man einen freien öffentlichen gefunden hatte.

Die Lage ist super. Wir waren mit dem öV auf der Insel unterwegs und so ist Portoferraio einfach ein idealer Ausgangspunkt. Zudem steht der Strandservice zur Verfügung. Zimmer mit Terasse zu buchen lohnt sich. Zimmer sind sehr ringhörig

Bonne situation et bon service Bon petit déjeuner. Cet hôtel ne correspond absolument pas aux normes 4 étoiles (même italiennes), c'est l'équivalent (à peine) d'un 2 étoiles français. Chambre très petire (pas de fauteuil pour se détendre - Salle de bains "minable" ...

Ottima posizione vicino al mare con possibilità di usufruire di 2 lettini e ombrellone al giorno. Bella terrazza con sdraio, tavolo, sedie ed ombrellone. La camera era abbastanza ampia. Staff cordiale e disponibile! Quando siamo arrivati il parcheggio privato non era disponibile perché non avevano le chiavi. Il bagno della camera era piccolissimo, antiquato, con la doccia senza pedana ma direttamente sul pavimento, c'erano dei capelli ancora attaccati. Portatevi un phoon perché se avete I capelli lunghi vi serviranno 2 ore per asciugarli!

Hotellet var svært sentralt I forhold til både strand og sentrum med restauranter og butikker. Det lå også en fin lekepark rett foran hotellet som er ideel for barnefamielier. Servicen var upåklagelig.
