Tropea Boutique Hotel

The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. We came hoping for a pleasant beach holiday in a boutique hotel with a balcony and beautiful sea views as advertised, ordered and paid a lot for. We received a tired out old dump. One room had no balcony even though we paid extra. They’re not replying to my emails for a refund and we weren’t refunded for the SIX nights we left. My room was a tired old disaster from the 60’s with a wooden door and a glass pane that was supposed to have the sea view!!! My friend had a blind that didn’t go up and went out to a common terrace instead of the balcony we paid for. . My toilet seat was broken, the cistern took ten minutes to loudly fill and the tiny shower leaked through the tiles in the bathroom floor. If the bathroom door was open I could t get out the front door. No bin in the room so I dripped a teabag all the way to the bathroom! My friend got asthma as the blanket and cushions were so dusty. No elevators and two flights of stairs up to the sad hot lobby. One receptionist hardly speaks English and even ordering a taxi to get out of there was an effort. Luckily we found rooms at a wonderful resort nearby at less cost!!! This is a total rip off and they’re dishonest not replying to my requests re the balcony room we didn’t receive. Beware of false advertising and misleading views - they’re not from the rooms. They have a terrace but it’s not from your room. Lots of noise in the morning when they set up breakfast. A disaster.

More faulty down to Tui. Paid for an upgrade to a Junior Suite with lounge area and sea view. The hotel do not have rooms with this designation. Ended up in a small room with a disabled toilet that was not at all suitable as so high off the ground. Bathroom mirror so low I found it difficult to shave. No lounge area and had to sit on the bed. Could not put clothes on hangers as they were filthy, really dirty. Terrace furniture again filthy with ground in dirt and cracks in table. Hotel claimed they could not move us as fully booked. Tui rep would not visit us although they helped another couple. Sounds as if this was happening every week. Breakfast and evening meal were very good. Noticed that many family groups arrived and said they were not staying. Get the right room and it would have been a good experience. To quote about our room ‘someone has to have it’.

The hotel is clean, the staff lovely, the rooms fairly basic but fine. It is a 3 star hotel, so it can be noisy if you’re unlucky with your neighbours, which we were for a couple of nights. There are several steps up to the hotel. Breakfast is the usual buffet style with everything you would want both savoury and sweet, but it is the stunning view from the terrace which is just fabulous. We had a room with a shared balcony, divided into more private areas, although we could see and hear everyone. The “private” areas led onto a roof top open to the four rooms on that side - again with super views. It’s a 5 minute walk to the centre. In the opposite direction is a pharmacy and a few shops. There is free street car parking next to the hotel or turn left and there’s parking down the hill and next to the church at the bottom. Alternatively there is plenty of free parking in Via Croce, which is at the back of the hotel but you’ll need your satnav to help you find it via the one way systems. From the Via Croce parking, walk down the wide steps, turn right up the hill, right at the top and you’re just a few yards from the hotel. Really enjoyed our stay. Worth taking a boat trip, but beware when jumping in the sea from the boat as the sea can be “fresh”!

L’hotel ha una posizione magnifica davvero spettacolare come la terrazza X la colazione e/o aperitivo. Personale gentile ma il grande difetto è la struttura davvero datata da rifare e avendo roba così datata sembra anche sporca . La colazione nn di grande qualità peccato. Qualità prezzo insomma

Siamo arrivati in questa struttura alle 18 circa per via del maltempo e del traffico, siamo stati accolti con sufficienza e nonostante una prenotazione di 4 giorni da ben 718 euro non ci sono state date indicazioni su nulla… Al dilà di questo aspetto trascurabile entrati in stanza abbiamo trovato capelli per terra , un lenzuolo macchiato, ragnatele sui muri e la doccia con punte di muffa sul muro e ruggine . Non avendo possibilità a tarda sera di poter prenotare altrove abbiamo comprato candeggina e prodotti di pulizia per sanificare tutto . Il giorno successivo abbiamo disdetto grazie alla cancellazione gratuita ma abbiamo dovuto comunque sborsare 173 euro per questa notte da incubo!! Ottima solo la vista dalla terrazza. Scarso tutto il resto

Struttura in una posizione fantastica a due passi dal centro...una terrazza con una vista fantastica che riempie il cuore. Noi avevamo la stanza con accesso diretto in terrazza e al mattino ci svegliavamo con un profumo di brioche pazzesco... ottime tutte le torte fatte in casa per la colazione ..la mia preferita cocco e nutella. Personale tutti veramente tutti gentilissimi e disponibili per ogni richiesta !!!!
