***This is the first time I've ever written a review for a hotel - I've had the good fortune to stay in cheap & expensive hotels across the world (Bangkok, Paris, Amsterdam, across the USA, etc.) and this was unfortunately the worst one I've stayed in***
After spending a night in Rome and three nights in Sorrento, we made our way to Ischia excited to stay at this hotel for two nights because of all the great reviews and the reasonable price as well.
All we can say is DO NOT STAY HERE. Pay €25 or 50 extra elsewhere on the island and stay somewhere else. It was so bad that we left Ischia early and the front desk staff didn't even seem surprised that we were leaving early. We could hear everything in the rooms next to us, the walls are that thin, so it's difficult to sleep.
The outdoor pool was a nasty green color instead of the clean blue they advertise. The thermostat in the rooms (pictured) was difficult to operate and you couldn't set what temperature you wanted. The towels and bed linens were dirty and in tatters, plus the pillows & beds are uncomfortable. All the bed linens smelled of mildew and the floor was covered in dirt and dust balls. There was a spider cobweb in one corner of the room. We didn't use the spa at all but can only imagine how unhygienic it must be if our room was this bad.
We honestly really wanted to like this place but you can tell the owners/management just either don't have the money or the resources to keep this place up to date. read more
