Lipari hotellia

Plussat: The breakfast was fantastic, as was the pool.

Miinukset: No British or American TV channel.

Plussat: The pool and size of the room are the best.

Plussat: A short walk to access a lovely pool and facilities.

Plussat: Lovely big comfortable bed and super views

Plussat: The hotel was big enough to have everything we needed and small enough to be friendly and personal

Plussat: Clean spacious hotel with a good terrace and pool area. Breakfast was a little dull but had enough choices

Miinukset: The shower in our room was a dated enclosed unit with a seat that you only only use if you were 5ft tall or less. Obviously the cleaning staff had never heard of Viakal either as the shower head was spraying in all directions! The beds were too hard for my taste.

Miinukset: Breakfast was poor. Coffee machine wasn't working.

Plussat: The property is absolutely stunning, every single item has been paid attention and put thete with a purpose. The location is perfect, quiet yet close to everything, room is spotlessly clean and comfortable, buffet breakfast is great and wine list is impressive.

Plussat: Lovely hotel, quiet, clean, friendly staff !

Plussat: Really, really nice boutique hotel, ultra-convenient for the central restaurants, shops and ports. I love this hotels, and always stay here when I visit Lipari. We are definitely going to book for next year, as soon as my dates are settled,

Miinukset: I can't think of anything additional that could be expected of a boutique hotel like the ArciDuca. Perhaps the coffee could be improved, at breakfast? There is a nice bar: i wish more people used it, to improve the bar-atmosphere. Perhaps the hotel could offer a happy-hour to encourage this?

Plussat: This was an unexpectedly nice place to stay on Lipari. The room was not large, but, including a terrace was quite comfortable. The air conditioning worked well, a critical feature in 30 C heat and 90% humidity. The staff was unfailingly pleasant, had character and were genuinely helpful and friendly. The pool was a lifesaver after a day hiking around the island. The breakfast was very good (especially by Italian standards!). We ate lunch once and dinner twice at the hotel and the food was comparable in quality to good restaurants in the city. There is a cozy bar with a great selection. The barista was extremely helpful with suggestions about the city.

Miinukset: There are never enough electrical outlets in older buildings. This property was better than most and I could plug in my laptop and cellphone without too much trouble.

Plussat: It’s very near centre very convenient. Love a lots to having a cup of tea in the afternoon beside the swimming pool. Staffs are very friendly and sweet.

Plussat: The stay was pleasant and the staff went above and beyond ! Overall excellent experience.

Plussat: We liked the location of the hotel was in a quiet more residential area but only a short walk to the small port and restaurants. We also enjoyed the pool & breakfasts

Plussat: Great location. Friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Good value

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean, no fuss hotel.

Miinukset: Breakfast was poor.

Plussat: English speaking Staff very helpful- Nice breakfast.

Plussat: Extremely friendly staff, very helpful and acomodating. A bautiful Hotel, highly recommend it!!! Great location also!

Miinukset: Could have better breakfast, more variety and fresh bread.

Plussat: Trully friendly manager and receptionists. Courtesy van brough us from the port to the hotel and back. Luggage brought to the room and all facilities pointed out to us. Superb room and services. Tasteful decoration and real comfort. Located in a nice and quiet street besides another hotel and a fantastic restaurant. Just 4 or 5 minutes walk from Marina Corta and Corso Vittorio Emanuele

Miinukset: Staff serving breakfast: Nothing reprovable but not as friendly as the rest of the staff.

Plussat: The hotel is one of Lipari's best.Its location is 5 minutes to the main street. There is internet but it didn't work for us in the room (with cable) we needed to go to the reception hall.

Miinukset: I wish more ppl knew english, ask for Alicia (if I recall well). You can see that there is not a lot of staff and thus the service is fair but not good; for example I remember us taking the luggage to the room even on arrival. But they had a shuttle to the port which was very convenient.

Plussat: The friendlyness of the staff and the facilities, for example the fantastically clean and warm swimming pool, the jacuzzi on the roof and the sun beds. Location was great aswell.

Plussat: It's a lovely hotel and has a nice pool. The rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The free internet was easy to use, in the lounge area of the hotel. The roof gardens were also very pleasant.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Staff, room and swimming pool

Miinukset:

Plussat: Uima-altaasta ja aamiaisesta (kylmä).

Plussat: Best speaking Italian ever met within this hotel staff - Ms Melissa; cleanliness - they changed the towels even twice a day; serenity of the surroundings - a residential area not assaulted by tourists; good taste implicit in everything ... Overall great.

Miinukset: No garden available - we did not check though the "terrace garden" and they recommended a tourist office offering trips which did not prove to be serious, this should really be taken care of and I think they already did due to our complaint.

Plussat: The quiet location. comfortable rooms.

Miinukset: There was a conference at the hotel with a lot of people. This made it a bit uncomfortable to use to pool area during the day.

Plussat: The building and surrounding , the swimming pool and the balcony

Miinukset: Swimming pool not very clean, bathroom could be renewed

Plussat: Nice terrace

Miinukset: No bar during the day out at the pool

Plussat: Location Spacious room Breakfast terrace Kindness of staff Clean bathroom Bed nicely done

Miinukset: We stayed in the residence and it is not the 4 star hotel! The room is spacious Cleanliness was ok (good in the bathroom only) Floor and windows were average.

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Our room 409 was located on the second floor below the breakfast terrace. The ‘ sea view’ was ok if you hung out of the window and looked sharply to the right !! After a terrible night sleep on two single beds unsuccessfully pushed together in which we both fell into the gap and the noisiest extractor fan. We were awoken at 6am with scraping and banging as breakfast was being set up and then served. It went on until 9.30 ! When we emerged we were met by an extremely grumpy waitress who told us, “ Breakfast inside!” even though everyone else was sitting on the terrace. Another waitress asked if she could help and when we explained that we would like to sit outside she immediately told the other waitress to set up a table for us. Breakfast was a sad selection, sitting on broken plastic chairs looking at a tiny pool with four enormous seagulls swimming in it! We asked reception if there was just anything else available and were shown a dark smelly ground floor room as an alternative. Even though we had paid for two further nights, we packed up and left. We found a gorgeous hotel where the rooms were light and modern and clean and cheaper with a balcony really overlooking the sea. We highly recommend Hotel Mea to anyone staying in Lapari !

Plussat: Location, view from roof terrace, staff

Miinukset: Swimming pool & area surrounding was a little disappointing

Plussat: The location was fantastic. There are lots of areas to sit and chat outside of your room. Just lovely.

Plussat: The sea view from the room and location

Miinukset: The hotel is a little faded and has seen better days. The carpet on the lift and corridors smells with the heat. The air con in the room doesn’t work well. The room deco is quite old fashioned / old

Plussat: The location, excellent breakfast, lovely views. Nice pool.

Miinukset: The self catering facilities are limited.

Plussat: The breakfast is on top of the building presenting a great view of the island and a real hotel buffet. It has everything: eggs, fruits, breads, juices, jams, yogurts, hams and cheese, toasts and others. The hotel has a free harbor-hotel shuttle service which is very convenient since the streets are narrow, and no taxis. We liked a lot the spacious room and the hotel infrastructure, also behind it has a Piazza with restaurants and the smaller port where depart the touristic boats for other islands for diving, climb the Stromboli, Volcano, Panarea, etc.

Miinukset: A little bit noisy in the first morning hour due breakfast preparation. So if you arrived later midnight due any excursion be prepared to wake up soon.

Plussat: Ease of transfer to a room with sea view. Pick up and return to the harbour. View from the restaurant terrace.

Miinukset: Misunderstanding about the booking. I had thought a previous booking (which disappeared from the booking.com site) had therefore been cancelled. It seems not.

Plussat: Good location close to the island hydrofoils, eating venues and other facilities. The building and fixtures are somewhat dated but that may appeal to some. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The room was quite small with a tiny bathroom which reflects the age of the hotel. The breakfast was not to the standard we had enjoyed at other hotels and B & B's during our 6 weeks in Italy.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli monipuolinen, ei pelkkää makeaa. Patiot tilavat. Ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast in an indoor-outdoor room

Miinukset: The shower wasn’t a separate cubicle

Plussat: A lovely place and the staff were really caring.

Plussat: Room, food, location and staff

Plussat: But generally, it keeps the atmosphere of once chic place: rooms are very spacious, as well as common spaces, all is pretty stylish

Miinukset: In my opinion the hotel needs some renovation, and the breakfast could be better

Miinukset: Room was full of mosquitoes

Plussat: Great and a lot of care taken with everything.

Miinukset: Good to show people round the room at start of stay to show how everything works because electrics very different to home. Also operation of shutter which we don't have

Plussat: Great location, lovely breakfasts

Miinukset: The beds were very firm, some may prefer this but we found them uncomfortable. The staff were somewhat aloof

Plussat: Hotel Augustus is centrally located within a short walk from the port and off the Main Street Via Vittorio Emanuele in Lipari.

Miinukset: I was pleased with everything, from the typical local antique and historic decor, good breakfast included, clean and comfortable room and wonderful service from the staff. I would definately recommend it.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: We have been two days for business trip. There were moschitos.,room old stile not so comfortable expecially bed very soft. The man at the reception unpolite when we arrived and ask the first day if the day after they can change the towels he said that towels are the same for all period that you stay in the hotel. Unbelievable! Than the breakfast very poor and coffee very bad. We suggest to choose another hotel.
