In our nine day, this hotel was a stand out as the worst
Rebecca, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location just a little old

Location is excellent but there is a large parking lot between the hotel and the marina so views are not the best. The hotel is very old (it’s in the name) but once you open the doors and windows it freshens up pretty quickly.
Mary-Beth, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was clean with friendly staff. Just a couple of things I would point out are no kettle in the room and the air con wasnt very powerful. To counteract my friends kettle situation the hotel gave her free hotwater everyday as she bought her own teabags. The free breakfast was good with plenty of variety

A Base from which to Explore

Great hotel for visiting La Maddelena, convenient for the shops and restaurants, its not the most modern of hotels, but the location makes up for it. There is no pool or beach front, nor is there anyway to sunbathe, its a hotel to explore from, just by the port.
Gary, 2-night trip

Want to stay again

This hotel is in a perfect position. It also offers car parking but you park out front for free in the car park. Our luggage was lost and the staff went above and beyond to help us with retrieving our luggage. They have a bar next door with snacks but surrounded by restaurants and shops on Main Street

The hotel was clean and staff very accommodating. One premium room the AC was only a fan, so room was too hot. The breakfast was nice. The marina area lively with lots of restaurant choices.

We stayed here for 2 nights while on our honeymoon. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The hotel is located right in the port with lots of restaurants, bars, and shopping within walking distance. Good value for money for the area.
