Eurostars Hotel Excelsior

Room was great - very comfortable, absolutely incredible view

staff at reception not super friendly - but very efficient

A very comfortable hotel, close to the harbour for any boat trips and within walking distance of the old town. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooftop terrace is a lovely spot for a drink and to soak up the sun.

We spent a lot of money on this hotel and were expecting a quiet break, but we had very noisy guests in the next room, who played dance music very loudly in the small hours and then again in the morning. When asked to turn it down, they did so and then resorted to banging the bedroom door loudly when entering and leaving their room. Also, as we went out of season, so only one restaurant and bar were open, didn't realise that when we were booking.

Great location. Very pleasant lady checked me in, my room was also upgraded which was a nice surprise. Great view of the bay from my room. Clean. Very nice marble bath room.

The hotel is quite grand but you can see in certain areas it could do with a bit of TLC. Parts of the hotel could do with a bit of a make over and a lick of paint. I decided to leave the breakfast buffet at 30 euro it seemed a bit expensive you could stuff yourself with espresso and pastries at many local bars for much less. There was a little note left in my room that said if there was anything the hotel could do to help me enjoy my stay to just ask. The plug socket to charge my phone was quite far from my bed which I found a little annoying as I would have liked to charge my phone in bed. I thought it was a bit of a long shot but because of this note I thought I'd ask if it was possible to have an extention. I expected probably to be told 'sorry sir we havnt got one' . Which is fair enough. However, the member of staff I asked looked at me like I'd just made the most bizarre request he'd ever heard, just answered 'No' in less than a second and seemed more concerned about getting his coat on for his break. The next morning I went to check out and order a taxi to catch my early flight. There was noone at the reception. I then however heard snoring. I followed the noise to find this same member of staff asleep on a sofa in the lobby with no shoes on. I had to wake him up so I could check out. Not usually what I'd expect at a 4 star hotel haha. Is a great location but definitely not worth the money they ask for. I have had much better value for money and customer service in hotels all over Italy. I splurged a bit in order to stay here and received £45 cash back via a genius deal. Even with this money back I feel as if this hotel is overpriced. This is in November aswell. I can't imagine what they charge in summer.
