Viola Palace Hotel

Le stelle non corrispondono ai servizi, partendo dalla mancanza di asciugamani in camera alla colazione molto poco varia. Ultimo giorno fatta colazione davanti alla reception perché sala pranzo inagibile. Servizio cena inesistente. Per noi seconda volta presso questa struttura, ma dalla scorsa esperienza ad oggi un pessimo cambiamento

Albergo comodo, situato al confine del paese che ti offre la tranquillità. Vicino al mare.

Posizione ottima per raggiungere le località balneari vicine. Cortesia, gentilezza e disponibilità del personale. Colazione buona ed abbondante. Pulizia dei locali Ottima.

This was awful! It's inaccurately rated and is NOT a B&B and there is NO restaurant. Yet, they claim to have amenities and over charged an outrageous 4* room rate per night but provided no food or dining services, or accommodations. And, worst of all, without my authorization or knowledge, they charged my credit card the full amount of our reservation the day after we had arrived and then refused to refund the money so we couldn't leave and were stuck there. They do not have the amenities or provide services listed on their website, and photos posted are from years ago. Those accommodations DID NOT EXIST and WERE NOT AVAILABLE. It is "false advertisement" and is not an accurate depiction of what actually existed. Here is a list of “lack” of amenities: There was NO TELEPHONE Service and NO working phones in any of the rooms which is a safety hazard. There is NO RESTAURANT; NO wait-staff; NO dining room; NO room service; NO SPA; NO GYM; NO business center; NO balcony or lounge chairs in the rooms; NO outdoor seating, terrace or garden area; mini frig DID NOT WORK; NO water/soda in the mini frig; NO ice machine; NO laundry or dry-cleaning service. The exterior building was dirty, dark, dingy and dilapidated; NO lights on the building at night; NO lighted marquis; the property grounds are un-kept and unappealing; NO manicured landscaping; it's in a deserted area off of a 2-way street; NO accommodations to access the beach; NO activities or entertainment offerings; the lobby had 2 sofas and rooms, beds, TVs and shower stalls were small; they had a few dining tables/chairs in their lobby; NO TV in the lobby; and they had a "cold" set up of a few items for their breakfast-NO hot breakfast, NO fresh fruit, NO brioche, minimum selection of items to choose from, many were packaged crackers, a tort or cake, and they charged 2.50 euro for cappuccinos, which weren't even hot or prepared correctly! And many other people were complaining to staff and at the front desk while we were there. Completely incompetent management and the owner and manager are inept, rude, unprofessional and were not available to discuss all these problems at their hotel. It was supposed to be a special family vacation for our senior citizen parents but instead was an awful experience for our family!

Checkin was great reception friendly and helpful Room seemed ok at first. Old fashioned but functional. However on going to bed putting the air conditioner on the noise was terrible. Could not get wifi to work tried to call reception the phone did not work. So no sleep no wifi and broken phone. The next morning on check out reported to reception response was why didn’t you check when you first went to the room if you had we would have offered another room. Told WiFi is only in common areas! I found the fact they expect the paying guest to check the room odd I have never gone into a hotel room with a check list before and never will these thing should be checked by housekeepers not the guest. Should we have gone to the night reception and complained yes but we were already changed when we discovered the problems. As for this being a four star hotel I hear stayed in better 2 or 3 stars this is no way a 4 star. This hotel should be removed from your site as I feel it is mis- represented Even the bed sheets had holes in it

Where do I begin? Most uncomfortable bed I’ve slept on in a long time. They say they have access to wifi but this is only available in the reception and even then it barely works. Every staff member I spoke to (bar one) came across as uninterested and rude. Ignored at breakfast and had to go routing around in draws to find my own cutlery. When I challenged this, the member of staff suggested it was because they were busy with other restaurant customers. Impressive given we were the only people eating then (maybe that should have been our first hint). We were told that after 11:30pm we would need to use a spare key to get back into the hotel. This doesn’t exactly seem safe. After this time, there is nobody in reception and no clear instructions as to how to get a hold of someone in case of an emergency. Again, doesn’t seem very safe. When I went to the staff with my complaints they became standoffish and rude. I asked to speak to a manager and got the reply “we don’t have a manager”. Continually rude and abrasive and at that point we left and chose another hotel. Avoid at all costs

The bathroom was dirty, at the bottom of the shower door was very dirty, you could see that no one took the time to clean it. The people at the front desk, specially a young guy had no patience.
