Art Hotel Gran Paradiso

"Enjoyed a week's stay here, but expected more of a 4-star hotel. The room was spotlessly clean but basic and not that functional - it lacked storage space with only a wardrobe, which, although provided plenty of hanging space, had no drawers or shelving. There were only 2 plug sockets, 1 in the bedroom and the other in the bathroom - not handy for charging. There was no mirror at the table in the bedroom, which meant doing hair in the bathroom mirror, but doing hair in a steamy bathroom is not ideal. We had an issue with the drain in the shower being blocked, but this was quickly fixed after it was reported. The breakfast was disappointing as it was basic, with little variation over the course of the week. The exception was the pastries and cakes. The selection of these was huge and changed daily. For me, I could have done with less sweet treats and more savoury options for breakfast. Had lunch here and one night for dinner - the food was good but not exceptional. There are much better places in the town for food. The big plus point of the hotel is the pool area. The views are truly amazing, and with drinks and food being served from the pool bar, it is a relaxing place to enjoy the sun."

"Fantastic, just about perfect. The staff were friendly, appeared interested in us. They helped my wife who is learning Italian."

"The views from the hotel of the Bay of Naples & Vesuvius are incredible! The pool, sun bed terrace & outside dining area are very nice. The hotel interior, however, has a budget feel to it and the so called “Superior” Room we had was tiny, poorly furnished (with no bedside tables, no chest of drawers & only a single wardrobe each with no shelves in it. The artwork in the room was creased paper posters fixed to the wall with drawing pins. No coffee/tea making facilities and very poor finish in the Bathroom. The room balcony, however, was spacious with a sea view. The hotel food, service & staff were excellent."
