Hotel Ossidiana Stromboli  

all was ok

except noise from Piaggi ( village main street)

Friendly personnel. Large rooms (superior). View at Stromboli. Close to the port. Airconditioning.

Although friendly, personnel was not very helpful. They answered all questions but no information was given. The breakfast had only sweet things to choose from. Room with sea-view were above street and terrace, so not very quiet (could change easily to mountain-view though)

Welcoming helpful staff. Stunning location across narrow road to beach with rooms having balconies overlooking the sea. Good comfortable facilities. Excellent breakfast. Impossible to fault.

The location of the hotel is great and we had a terrace with our own exit on the street in StrombolI which really made us feel like we were one of the locals in the island and not at a hotel. I was worried it would be too close to the port, but Stromboli is very small so you are both a walk from the port and right in the centre of the old town. The staff were very friendly and multilingual.

The hotel was advertised as a 3 star but only had the standards of a 1 or 2 star hotel at best. The mattresses were old, springy and not that confortable. Also due to their energy saving system, the (very old) fridge doesn't work if you are not in the room. It's not exactly a bargain either at 140 euros a night (reduced from 180). I understand that life on the island is expensive and that it was peak season but for that price the facilities should be better. We also went to see the outdoor thermal pool and it didn't look very welcoming.

Sea view room I was given.

in consideration of the rate the offer for the breakfast can be improved.

the friendly staff. the local people. the location. the volcanoes. the ease of mobilty. the safety. the cleanliness. the hot tub.

Very professional and customer oriented staff. Quick check in and check out the evening before possible. A problem with missing bottles from the room fridge was solved easily to our satisfaction. Perfect location, 2 minutes walk and directly visible from the ferry port. Room located on the back side of the building (on my request - follow the advice of other reviewers on this site and dont book a seaview room opening on the main street if you are noise sensitive. (The beach in front of the hotel being not sooo nice anyway, coverered with boats, the sea being about 200m from the hotel) was very quiete. Being ground floor, we had a terrace shared with two other rooms, offering backside (locked) entrance to the hotel, and a very nice opportunity to chill in the evening with direct Stromboli view - I actually saw some eruptions directly from our long chairs. Very comprehensive breakfast buffet (but essentially sweet items) with fresh coffee served from the bar staff. Possibility to breakfast on the bar terrace on the front side of the hotel. We loved the bathroom with all commodities and walk-in showers. The hotel has been completely renoveated recently. 5-10 min walks to the village center, from where the night guided walks to the vulcano start. 5 minute from two supermarkets, a few steps from several tourist information desks, the starting point of the island tours etc..

nothing to do except unwind and wait for the volcano to do something,.or climb it nice deli there.Meals can be pricey as everything is imported from Sicily/Lipari, you can visit other islands or just take a trip round stromboli by boat 20euro pp.with pippas trips. Hotel excellent staff friendly,good sulphur spa bath free to guests , long trip to get reach islands from naples

The location of the hotel is great. That is the nearest hotel to the harbour, where all ships ties up. Our room was on the back side of the building (view to the vulcano), with an own small terrace,and gate to the road, what leeds to the meeting point of Stromboli excursions. Having the own key we had a taller degree of freedom. We got fresh orange juice at arrival, and after a rough crossing it was fantastic.

the insulation of the doors and windows is weak, so the wind howled infuriatingly on the gaps

Hotel staff very friendly and helpful, location excellent and the room was very clean and comfortable.

Only found out on arrival that thermal spa was open only for 2 hrs a day and needs booking

Clean, simple, comfortable with good seaview.

Tolle Lage direkt an der Strandstraße, 100m vom Fährhafen (kein Lärm oder sonstige Beeinträchtigungen) entfernt, den Stromboli im Rücken. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Sehr schöne Zimmer - traumhafter Meerblick.

Gelegentlich ein bisschen viel Außenlärm durch Strandstraßenlage, aber das wußten wir vorher und wo - außer in der Wildniss - ist es in Italien schon ruhig.

Das Hotel liegt direkt am Strand, ganz nah am Hafen und ist auch mit Gepäck problemlos zu Fuss zu erreichen. In unmittelbarer Nähe des Hotels findet man alle nützlichen Informationen über Akitvitäten auf der Insel (Inselrundfahrten, Vulkanexkursionen), die Ticketschalter für die Fähren und Aliscafi sowie Restaurants und Bars. Die Hotelbar "Mio Amore" ist ein Treffpunkt für Touristen und Einheimische, die dort barfuss ihren "caffe" trinken. Das Inselleben spielt sich direkt vor dem Hotel ab. die Zimmer sind sehr geräumig und zweckmäßig, ein bisschen nüchtern eingerichtet. Toll ist die Schwefeltherme, mit Blick auf den Stromboli, die man als Hotelgast gratis benützen darf.

Das Frühstücksbuffet besteht ausschliesslich aus Brioche, Kuchen, Keksen und anderen süßen Sachen. Wurst, Käse, Schinken oder Eier sucht man vergeblich. Zimmer mit Meerblick sind aufgrund der Hafenlage ab 7.00 in der Früh sehr laut, nichts für Langschläfer .
