My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 9 nights in July 2013. We chose Viareggio as a base both for sightseeing in the area and visiting towns like Lucca, Cinque Terre and for long warm days on the beach. We had a rental car and parked free of charge 40 meters from the hotel (at football stadium). A nice but quite small hotel, nothing “fancy” but according to the description. VERY nice staff and highly service minded. Almost all spoke good English. Nice, clean rooms, available mini-bar and WIFI in the rooms working OK (sometimes good, sometimes a bit slow) but not necessary to sit in the lobby. Typically Italian breakfast but with what you need – and an excellent coffee bar/coffee machine with very good espresso, latte and cappuccino. Staff assisting with good advice on restaurants and even arranging for travel for long-distance visit! OK location, only 4-5 minute walk from the main street. Would definitely book here again if we come back to Viareggio!
