Lola Piccolo Hotel — Restaurant in Grosseto

We picked this hotel as it was close to a beach (walking distance). The staff were friendly and helpful including extending the opening time of the restaurant at lunchtime on the day we arrived. The served a very tasty if sligthly expensive lunch for us - still we cannot complain as they did cook for us when they were shutting. The biggest issue was parking, driving to the hotel, there were access gates that restricted access to the front of the hotel. There was very limited on site parking and we had to basically fend for ourselves with the parking in the surrounding area. This was not too expensive and if you were willing to walk 5 minutes, you could get it for free but this was not ideal with luggage and children. The room itself was very nice if basic, we had a very comfortable night. Breakfast was a cold buffet which was fine although there were a lot of very sweet items. I would have liked a bit more savoury but this was not typical in Italy. The beach itself was the biggest disappointment. It was packed with sun loungers that you had to pay for and the people 'renting' these basically were quite snooty about it being a private beach and you couldn't even put your towel down on the sand next to the water. It was noisy, and unpleasant going to the bit of beach near the hotel. This is in contrast to some of the beaches further down the coast which were much quieter and devoid of people hawking sun loungers. Marina di Grossetto was small but had a few nice places to eat. It was some distance from Grosetto itself... so unless you were happy to drive, the better places to eat in Grosetto were out of reach. Price was mid range and fine for what we got. Again my takeaway was the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful but the location seemed suboptimal if you wanted to have a relaxed couple of days...

Abbiamo soggiornato in un apartahotel classificato come 4 stelle ma secondo la nostra valutazione ci è sembrato un 3 stelle e ora vi spieghiamo le nostre motivazione.||Innanzitutto appena si entra nella reception si trova l'aria condizionata abbastanza alta mentre subito al piano superiore non è più presente e quindi si sente parecchio caldo.||Entrando nel nostro appartamento l'arredamento era abbastanza datato e in ogni caso molto semplice e scontato, il frigorifero era completamente spento e ora che ha iniziato a rinfrescare sono passate ben 4 ore, lo scolapiatti lo abbiamo trovato arrugginito e non igienico per l'appoggio delle stoviglie, indispensabile in un appartamento un orologio a parete che non era presente e sul terrazzo a disposizione un set di pattumiere per la raccolta differenziata.||Per una famiglia di 3/4 persone in un bilocale sarebbe stato meglio avere nella zona notte 1 letto matrimoniale e 1 letto a castello al fine di occupare meno spazio nella zona cucina per pranzare o cenare anche in casa se necessario con aria condizionata, mentre noi eravamo obbligati a mangiare sempre all'aperto nel terrazzo perché con un divano letto aperto in cucina e alcune valigie sul tavolo e sedie lo spazio era ridotto. ||2 bagni con 2 docce non sono proprio necessarie per una vacanza al mare perché al posto del 2° bagno sarebbe stato più utile averne 1 solo ben accessoriato con dei ripiani sotto al lavandino per l'appoggio di salviette pulite e un paio di appendini in più, poi al posto del 2 bagno era meglio trovare un armadio o dei ripiani a muro per l'appoggio di indumenti e valigie.||Di seguito vi elenco i Pro e i Contro affinché le criticità costruttive diventino uno spunto per migliorare i soggiorni ai vs clienti.||Pro:|-Personale gentile e pronto a soddisfare ogni esigenza.|-La pulizia nell' appartamento ogni 3 giorni con cambio delle salviette e lenzuola è un'ottimo servizio|-La colazione inclusa l'ho trovata buona e accettabile perché è possibile farsi fare un cappuccino sul momento come al bar e vengono esposti anche i biscotti commerciali per i bambini cosa che non mi è mai capitato di vedere in giro.|-Situato a due passi dalla spiaggia, dal passeggio, negozi, supermercato, ristoranti e gelaterie |- Un bel luna park per soddisfare i bimbi |- Tanti bei bagni attrezzati di docce , ristoranti e giochi ||Contro:|-Manca orologio da parete, |-Il frigorifero è di qualità scadente ci ha messo molto per iniziare a rinfrescare un pochino ma dopo 4 giorni sulla parete in fondo si era già formato 3 cm di ghiaccio come da foto |-Gli utensili da cucina non sono completi... mancano mestolo, apribottiglie, asciuga insalata, forbici, bollilatte....|-Lo scolapiatti non era agibile.|-Mancavano delle pattumiere per la raccolta differenziata e abbiamo dovuto lasciare i sacchetti a terra.|-Presenza di zanzare nell'appartamento |-Abbiamo trovato ancora a muro una spina a 3 buchi del telefono di una volta....|-Mancava una TV in cucina ma non è per tutti indispensabile|-Il parcheggio a 18,00 al giorno è un po' altino per usufruire anche dell' alloggio in più sembra scomodo per carico e scarico perché sotterraneo con parecchie manovre da effettuare.||In conclusione la vacanza è stata discretamente bella, ringrazio il personale per tutte le richieste effettuate e vi auguro una buona continuazione sperando che prendiate una spunto al miglioramento su...
