BADIA NUOVA Apart Hotel

Lovely hotel on a quiet street. Staff is lovely and very helpful. I received excellent customer service from a young man at the front desk in September during my stay. The breakfast buffet is good and satisfying. Lovely rooms with a type of door lock that I’d never use before so had to practice. The hotel is close to the beach and good restaurants in this charming town.

Stayed here for 3 nights in a 2 bedroom ‘Suite with Terrace and View’ (room 401).|The pictures and blurb on the website gave us the impression of a master bedroom with a lovely vaulted wooden ceiling, airy, spacious and plenty of natural light. The suite we were given however was fairly dull away from the patio doors onto the terrace, with little natural light and bland decor and ceilings. The bathroom was compact (no idea how it would have worked if there had been more than 2 of us in the apartment). The second bedroom, which had twin beds pushed together, was like a cave with its only window looking into a small internal void with a steel grill on top. The whole apartment seemed to have been shoe-horned in amongst AC unit outlets and ducting voids for the rest of the hotel. The terrace whilst a decent size was adjacent to the hotel’s rooftop bar and had a fairly high wall round it (1.5m at its lowest point, but over 2m on two sides). The ‘view’ therefore was visible only in one direction, whilst standing and was of a building under construction in the distance. Whilst sitting on the terrace the ‘view’ was of walls which you could enjoy whilst listening to the 3 AC outlet fans attached to one wall of the terrace. The kitchen/lounge area was fine.|Breakfast was hit or miss. Fairly limited choice of cereals and pastries and weird tasting filter coffee self served from a large pump thermos. There was supposed to be bacon and eggs. One day 1 it was ok, day 2 there was only chocolate based cereal as they’d run out of muesli and the bacon and eggs were stone cold as the heating trough was switched off. Day 3 there was no eggs and bacon left at 8.45 am (the staff did eventually agree to cook some more to order after a long wait and various debate amongst the 2 of them).|Came back one evening after a long day of sightseeing only to be turned away at the front desk and told to come back to the hotel in an hour as they were having a problem with the power. Not within their control I guess but no apology, offer of a cold drink, just told to try again in an hour.|Overall, nothing special. Not what we expected based on the website photos and other rave reviews. Not great value either for the €240 per night we paid to stay - wouldn’t rush back (certainly not to room 401 anyway) or recommend it to our friends.

Reception staff was really helpful, they do a great job. Rooms can be improved overall. There was a sewage smell anytime we entered the room. Since we were below the rooftop bar there was constant table and chair dragging noise from above. One morning we woke up with a weird noise coming from the outer wall. Overall insulation could be better. Also almost everyday the elevator was out of service and a technical person was trying to fix it. We felt like we were staying in an airbnb rather than a 4 star hotel. Location is amazing right at the center, we never tried the breakfast.

This mini apartment was very spacious, with a separate kitchen/kitchen table area that allowed my husband to work without disturbing me in the bedroom. Shower was tiny. Breakfast was not as good as at the other hotels in this price range that we stayed at, e.g., sliced grocery store bread appeared with croissants. When one read through all the information in the booklet that was in the room, it said that water must be boiled five minutes before drinking. I drank some before I saw this. They should have put up a more prominent sign or informed us when we checked in.

The hotel itself was good, the apartments are very spacious and you even have a kitchen and built in storage. The kitchen features a normal sized fridge! The bathroom is good as well. However, the main point was the location. The hotel is located very well and everything is in walking distance. The reception is also helpful if you have questions. A must visit is the rooftop bar of the hotel which has good drinks, delicious aperitivo and nice views.

We had an amazing stay at Badia Nuova. The apartment is spacious, with separating doors to minimize noise from outside. However it was very quiet with no noise as it’s located on a side street. The air conditioning was good, very cold and there were two units in the apartment - one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom. The rooftop lounge is great for sunset drinks. Staff were helpful and friendly. Bicycles available to use for free to get around the city or salt pans.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect and staff were most helpful. The room was large, nice bathroom and small but sufficient kitchen. We definitely enjoyed the rooftop terrace as well. Also our room was quiet. Our only complaint was the futon-type sofa in the living room was not comfortable for sitting.

Very nice hotel in a quiet street. Service was very friendly and we had a free welcome drink on the terrace.
