This is a lovely little hotel on the main street. We were given a room at the front, with a balcony looking over the main road and promenade - to the right a view of the sandy beach, to be the left a vista of shops and restaurants (the nearest one does a roaring trade in tasty squares of pizza in the early evening). There are parking spaces all along the promenade (pay at meter until 8pm) and in side streets, so we always found a space. We recommend the hotel's breakfast buffet - at 7 euros it's well worth it with a good selection of sweet and savoury options.

The Hotel was close the promenade and has a variety of shops, bars, cafe and restaurant to suit all budgets. The beach lidos looked good but it was not quite the season to go swimming. They accommodated little dogs and were very welcoming..

The elevator was close to our room and I'm a light sleeper. We were woken up early around 6am by the room next doors television very loud and he was smoking and it filtered into our room sadly. We were very tired the next day for our trip as we didn't sleep well.

The location is outstanding! The staff are all very friendly and professional. Even if not all of them speak english, all are well informed and can help. When our flight home were cancelled there were no problem to prolong our stay with one night. The hotel has been run in the family since 1925 and you can feel the tradition.

Everything were fine!

I loved the room I got on top floor with the most amazing beach/sea views. The location is perfect, right on the promenade and where all the major shops begin. Very nice to have a fridge in the room and there is a supermarket close by. The staff is very nice, Andrea was amazing and so helpful and fun to talk to. He did everything he could so I could have a perfect stay. Grazie mille! I will stay there again :-)

No table on the balcony, only chairs.

The stuff was nice and very helpful. The hotel's guests get the umbrella and sunbeds cheaper on the "Marco Polo" beach. If you stay longer, you can get parking tickets cheaper in a trafik.

In the paid parking zoneses you have to pay attention to on which day and at what time the cleaning takes place!!! You have to find another parking place for that time, otherwise you have to pay a penalty. (But it's not the Hotel's fault.)

location was great. Breakfast was good. Housekeeping team very friendly and helpful. Reception helped sort out a booking for the beach.

Local knowledge could have been better

The location was exceptional especially for celebrating Carnevale! Also stored my luggage for me at checkout so I could explore Viareggio more before leaving!

They didn't provide free breakfast

The hotel is a traditional family run hotel which offers good value It’s near the beach and. Short walk from other facilities that are more upmarket and more busy so you can have both!

It’s a little dated but that is part of its heritage!

It's not new but it's clean and has a perfect location. Stuff is very friendly and will store your luggage if you need to. It's more to choose if you stay for few days than 2 weeks. We stayed 3 nights and we can't complain.

Requires renovation. Thin walls.

very clean, fantastic localisation, and the great family that owns the hotel for almost 100 years, that helped us so much when our boy get lost in street and immediately owner of the hotel enter his car and went with us to look for him. a big hug Andrea from Tavares family
