There were spare pillows and it's close to the ferry port (10 minute drive). But here’s a real red flag, some six weeks before our due arrival I started getting a series of emails purportedly from the hotel asking for payment. I checked with booking.com and, after three attempts, they responded stating do not pay it there is some suspicious activity on the hotel’s account and advising me to change my password. Fast forward to the day after I left the property (I honestly can’t call it a hotel) and I got an email from the owner. It was foul and abusive saying that there was nothing wrong with his internet connection and that he has two-tier ID so could anything possibly go wrong. He clearly doesn’t understand what being hacked is all about! By the same token, don’t use the wifi.

This place was a disgrace with virtually no redeeming features. It was dirty and rundown. Plugs were hanging out of the walls with their wires visible and there was an unpleasant smell of stale, strong tobacco smoke throughout. The bathroom door in my room not only had no lock, but where it should have been there was simply a hole in the door. The owner, who is at least 15 years past retirement age, makes Basil Fawlty look like Mary Poppins! When I first arrived he yelled at me in Italian for parking in a marked parking space outside the hotel then, when he directed me to a parking space in an area of adjacent scrubland he went apoplectic when I parked one side of a car already there when he wanted me to go the other side. I can only say it’s a good job I didn’t understand what he was saying. There is a bar advertised, but it remained closed throughout our stay. No matter, we did not want to spend more time than was absolutely necessary in this appalling dump. The breakfast was barely adequate, mainly sweet offerings gathered round an old hotplate sitting sadly unused in the middle of the breakfast fare. I opened only to find all the inner workings removed. Why leave it there? When we arrived for breakfast, there was someone sitting in the breakfast room smoking so we went outside to some tables and chairs overlooking the scrubland where our car was parked only to find the chairs wet from a leaking air conditioner. Finally, my wife returned a dirty tea cup to the owner who then verbally berated her for doing so. If you want a trip back to the underbelly of 1950’s Italy then fine, otherwise do not go near this place.

The room was clean and quite spacious. Cleaning was done well every day. The breakfast was decent.

None of the staff spoke English at all, which led to a lot of misunderstandings and even rudeness towards guests. There is a risk of finding ants in your room.

Easy access from the port, secure covered parking for motorcycles.well located for food and drink. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Nothing,all good.

It was very close to the reason for my journey to Livorno. Nice continental style breakfast. A/C and water in the fridge.

Bathroom was a little dated. I Couldn’t get Sky TV to work!!

Did everything I needed the hotel to do, staff are friendly and helpful

A little dated but didnt bother me.

Location and parking facilities are excellent. Room was good.

Could have been a better breakfast. Maybe something hot.

Spacious room for four. Guarded parking.

Nothing.

Location close to ferry terminal. Free car parking included.

Basic hotel with basic almost army looking furniture. For one night was fine.

Great location near the centre of the city as well as the seaside promenade. Staff very kind and helpful, homely atmosphere.

Furnishing in the rooms is a bit out of date and there was an odd smell in the bathroom which really needs at least a basic reconstruction.

Location in the center of Livorno, near the sea, easy accessible. Very clean and comfortable room, nice breakfast, very attentative, helpful and friendly owners. I highly reccomended Le Parking hptel Giardino during your station in Livorno!

Close to the port, inner city as well..

Maybe the Price...

I'm pretty much a full time vagabond, so spend most of my life in hotels. These have a habit of blurring into each other in their blandness... this place is refreshingly different though. This appears to be a genuine family run hotel, and everybody I dealt with was really nice, despite the language barrier. My fault, for being a poor linguist. Some other reviews seem a little negative.....but its clean, good WiFi, and comfortable. What more do you need? Central location , massive private car park, pet friendly, good breakfast. I really liked this place, definitely has character.

Could be a little noisy at times.

Nothing

Very run down a bit cluttered. Bathroom was the smallest ever and not fit for purpose

parking is great. Hotel is easy to find and near the port, where we take the ship to Corse.

xxxxxxxx-we like that hotel
