Hotel Marechiaro

It was a really nice property with sea views, close to the airport. Very relaxing

My wife and I were holidaying in Calabria and intended to spend our last 3 nights in Hotel Marechiaro. Unfortunately my wife had an accident and spent 5 nights in hospital. I did inform both Hotels.com as well as Hotel Marechiaro.Because of the seriousness of my wife’s injury the hospital did not discharge her until the day before were due to fly home. Hotel Marechiaro were kept informed at all times. Although we enjoyed the hotel I was extremely disappointed in the owners when they refused to refund the 2 nights we were unable to stay. They only agreed to refund one night. I felt they were not very understanding or kind. Because of their attitude I will not recommend their hotel. Accidents happen but usually people do not take advantage.

Fantastic hotel right next to the beach! Really nice building and tastefully decorated. Spotlessly clean and a wonderfully comfortable bed. Staff couldn't have been more helpful - sorted out an adaptor for me when mine wouldn't work. Breakfast was fabulous, the lovely Franco looked after me so well, insisting I try the local produce. Would love to go back and spend longer. Can't say what there is to do in the local area as I only stayed here for a night after travelling to Siderno - needed somewhere near LaMezia Terme airport. So pleased I chose this hotel rather than a standard airport hotel. It was only a 10 minute taxi ride in the morning.

I was supposed to check in late Sunday evening. I called the hotel to let them know I’d be later than expected (arriving around midnight or a little later) - no problem, I was told. I got to the hotel... First the address was incorrect. Wrong city/hamlet, in fact. Listed at 2.5miles away from SUF airport - it’s in fact closer to 15miles away. Didn’t matter in the end because when I arrived late the doors were locked, lobby lights off and it wasn’t clear to me how to access the hotel. I didn’t have international minutes to make outgoing calls, but I had left my cell number , which could receive incoming international calls. I would have presumed the hotel could have called me if they were going to lock up, especially after I’d called to say I was arriving late. False advertising and poor customer service. I’m counting on NOT being charged for this booking.
