Hotel Garden

Went on a shearings holiday. Room cleaned every day. Clean towels every day. Only negative is the amount of time travelling. Overall the hotel was nice, staff very friendly, the one grumpy bar man apologised as he was in pain from sciatica. Food is a personal choice, but salad bar every night good, pasta choice excellent, pork choice not to good. Salmon and chicken lovely. Wine on table every night. Plenty of choice in free bar , 6 till 10. Town has plenty of food and drink choice, plus lovely shopping. Overall had a lovely week. Negatives, hairdryer useless, front steps to dining area need a good clean. Balcony no table. Otherwise everything OK.

My wife and I went on a shearings trip here. Room was immaculate, food amazing, and staff very polite and helpful. Enjoyed sitting by the pool every night, listening to the frogs, with new found friends. Feddy ( I think that's how it was spelled) was so entertaining behind the bar. We would definitely go back.

Just had a holiday with Shearings and stayed here. Absolutely no complaint about Shearings but they need to stop using this hotel. The food is the worst I have ever tasted. I lived on bread rolls. No one on the table got their meals at the same time. It was extremely hard to know what we were eating. The inclusive bar was a joke. Cans of crap lager. Sexist barmen who would only give me a small glass but the men could get pints. Flies in the wine. Dinner service was so slow we had very little bar time left. We had two days with no hot water. Fellow passengers had to offer us their shower. The manager (I think he was) was so rude. He screamed ‘what’ in my face when he didn’t hear me at the bar. He never smiled or even spoke until we were leaving. I had used sheets on my bed the first day. Rooms were ok but not really very clean. I thought room was clean until I spilled some water and it mixed with dirt off floor. Pool was empty and needed repair. Towels had seen better days. Keys are left on show in reception which is not always staffed so anyone could take them. Safe didn’t work. I’ve seen on another review that the hotel response to a bad review was that it was fake. This isn’t, I assure you . If you are booked to go to this hotel, change your booking. You deserve better than this.

Don't bother, this hotel is no star rated in my eyes ,food rubbish , drinks package rubbish, room inadequate even by youth hostel standards ,wish I'd never bothered, booked with Hays travel swinton who will take your money as will shearings and tell you very sorry and nothing else ..lesson learned.

SIMPLE ET BIEN SANS FIORITURE HOTEL COMMUN SANS AME PARTICULIAIRE

Can I start by saying that the resort of Alassio was a great surprise with an excellent beach and plenty of choice in bars and restaurants. Ok, now the positives are covered I'll talk about the rest, as I mentioned in the title , the air con didn't work, complained to reception and it worked for an hour or so and then failed again, my thought is this was selective on the hotel's part. The room we had was typical budget with very little storage space , it's surprising what you can put on 3 hangars. Breakfast was served in the basement area below the reception, it has open doors which lead to an area of vegetation surrounding a pool of water with terrapins in it, and mosquitos, many, many mosquitos, so beware. Coffees are made to order so be prepared to scrum down with the crowds. On a couple of occasions they had run out of bread with no more to replace it. There aren't enough tables and chairs to accommodate everyone when the hotel is busy. I have to give it to the waiter at breakfast who must be one of triplets as his brothers work on the bar and in the restaurant at night. If I'm painting a dark picture of breakfast then please be assured that this is the best meal of the day in this hotel. Evening meals are situated in the building across the road from reception , to start there is a salad bar which is busy and ok I suppose, pasta is the prince and the pauper in every dish, by that I mean it's the main ingredient and of very little taste, as the food is plated you are presented with it and there you go, I've never been able to count chips at a quick glance before. My views just seem to be the same as many others going back years and I find it hard to believe that Shearings haven't acted on them , sometimes an apology isn't enough.
