Hotel San Lorenzo Thermal Spa

We think that the hotel is not bad, but not great either. First thing to note is the hotel’s location is quite far (20min) from main terminal, BUT has a bus stop right in front. Secondly, hotel is already very old, and guests mainly are older gentlemen and ladies. Pool facilities which were advertised as 38C were mostly 30-36 at best. The hot tub hard carried our stay. Since the island is quite expensive in general now, a visit to this place do give it some thought.

A wonderful stay at Albergo Terme San Lorenzo After 40 years of visiting Ischia, this hotel offered me a fresh and truly memorable experience. The location is excellent – within walking distance of charming Lacco Ameno and just 10 minutes from Negombo, with a convenient shuttle service available. The large 30-meter outdoor pool is a thermal pool and beautifully warm. The indoor thermal pools are equally relaxing and well-maintained. Dinner exceeded expectations, and the view is simply unforgettable. Many thanks to the team for the warm hospitality and a truly enjoyable stay!

This place is a bit of a contradiction. Whilst aspiring to be high-end with its 6 pools and thermal springs, it is in fact really dated and seems stuck in time. The management appears to have no interest in dragging this place into the 21st century. Everything is in need of updating and renovating, the pool areas, rooms, common areas, breakfast. Disappointing for a place that has so much potential and would have been fantastic in its hey day of the 1980s. We did not make use of the many pools as common areas were not comfortable, especially the indoor pool which had broken floors and was poorly lit. Our room was ok and we spent time enjoying the balcony. The bathroom seems to have been updated in recent years and was clean and functioning, however the shower was very small. Upon arrival we were given a very long letter with information, however this letter managed to provide us with little information at all. We got to know dinner timings yes, but the menu or where the dinner actually was? No. Had they offered a half/full Board package, we might have gone for that. Information such as spa treatments, tours, local things to do, foods, shuttle into town was not included. I did notice a stand at reception with some pamphlets in it, this was the extent of their efforts. Does this hotel even have spa treatments? I have no clue. We did not enjoy breakfast as the spread was basic and had little to offer us. It did not show off the regions rich food culture. We instead bought our own food from the local supermarket and enjoyed that. The manager, Camilo, is a lovely man and I do hope they have some ideas for bringing this place up to date in the near future. It does seem, like other reviews have suggested, as a place for older (eg 70+ Italians) to come and retire.
