Given that this hotel only has 3 stars, I would honestly rate it closer to a 5-star experience in many ways.
Overall, this hotel is very family-friendly and caters well to guests with children. We visited as a couple without kids, and despite the family-oriented atmosphere, our stay was still very pleasant and enjoyable. The staff was incredibly welcoming and always focused on ensuring guests had a good experience. We would definitely consider visiting again.
Along with the praise, I’d like to suggest some areas for improvement.
Suggestions:
Room: The room was nicely decorated and recently renovated, though it was on the smaller side. Still, it was functional and comfortable. One improvement could be adding more towel hangers in the bathroom. The refrigerator, however, was a bit of an issue. It was far too small and didn’t function properly, often overheating, which is a bit concerning.
Breakfast: While the breakfast buffet was nice, the variety was limited, with the same options every day. Extending the breakfast hours to 10 AM would also be appreciated, as the current timing feels a bit rushed. In terms of food quality, the bread was very dry and the coffee could use some improvement. However, the olive oil and the red orange juice were exceptional—absolutely delicious!
Elevator: The elevator could definitely use some attention. It was quite slow and didn’t always function properly, which was a bit inconvenient.
Parking and Bike Storage: Parking can be a bit tricky but is well-managed by the hotel owner, so it’s not too much of an issue. The bike storage, however, is somewhat limited and getting bikes down the stairs can be a bit challenging.
Animals: The hotel is pet-friendly, which is great in principle. However, if your neighbor leaves their dogs alone in the room all day, it can be quite disruptive. In our case, we had a connecting door to a room where dogs were left alone, and their barking throughout the day was a bit of a disturbance.
In summary, while there are a few areas for improvement, this hotel offers a pleasant stay with a welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed our time here and would...
Read moreI was in Gardenia at the end of April, but I visited them again a few days ago without staying at the hotel. They are simply amazing! The team is super cute and attentive. The perfectionist Simone and the adorable Sara match remarkably well. The sympathy between them is heartwarming. I really like "Good mood Massimo" - you don't have to do anything, you´re just my favorite:)! Seeing you always makes me feel good. It seems that the employees are not stressed while working under the owner´s eyes and do their work with joy. I think that work gets done even better if people are happy at work. As the saying - Alone you can go faster, but together you can go further. Everything feels so fresh and new in Gardenia. Great interior design, as yesterday the designer had finished his work. I would like to thank Simone for the gift of sparkling wine which celebrate the end of our trip after the concert in Klagenfurt. It was so lovely gesture :). Hopefully we can meet...
Read moreWe spent one week in this beautiful hotel. We arrived as a family, in a double family room.
the food was delicious, we had breakfast and dinner here. Italian food - the sortiment was perfect. They also took care for kids. we had a double room, very clean and every day we had a small clean-up. The shower was big. We had a side view for the sea. main street is close but the hotel and rooms are calm. air condition in rooms are very good the beach is in 50 m, we had umbrellas in our booking, and it was close to the water. With kids, this is very important the staff was very nice (restaurant, cleaning service and reception) there is a playroom and the -1 floor, and open all day. The hotel also offers programs for kids.
We are looking forward to come back next year, but for 2 weeks. Thank you for...
