We stayed at Hotel La Grotta for 2 nights. And we had a great time and received excellent service. The whole family was very nice and friendly to us. The rooms were all new, clean and sufficiently large. We were really very satisfied and felt very comfortable. Thank you for everything! We'll be back.

What can I say, this hotel's blatant lack of communication with customers.No message warning that the hotel is literally CLOSED from 8 p.m., in the booking confirmation it was noted that the arrival time was from 8 p.m., not until 8 p.m. We were able to sleep in our car because no other hotel was immediately available.No response from them via email or telephone regarding this, avoid this hotel if you want my opinion.

Grumpy lady who didn't say hello when we arrived once. Demanded 30 euros for late check-in. Very worn and old, hard beds that creak like crazy.

Unfortunately, I made a mistake when booking and tried to clarify this with the hotel by email, but despite multiple requests, the first 2 hours after the accidentally incorrect booking, there was no response. To me it looks like this, you spell it like that, bad luck, money is gone. Even if you notice your mistake after barely 2 hours.Addendum, despite further emails and requests from me, no response, so definitely not recommended!After turning on booking.com, an answer came after several days. You can no longer cancel, but you offer an alternative date that makes no sense to me. Unfortunately it doesn't help me at all. I would have understood if they had charged a processing fee. But unfortunately no.So, unfortunately I can't recommend anything because it's not customer-friendly.
