Reviews for Hotel La Primula

Review 1：La Primula is in an excellent location, very near the waterfront, and is a very nice facility. Once we arrived, we decided to extend our stay and were able to do so with no hassle. Overall, an excellent value that met our needs very well.

Review 2：Not good if you are a Senior citizen and the receptionist give you a room on the 3rd floor. There are no lifts and if you have a heavy case to carry to you room it's a bit of a trek up the stairs.

Review 3：The location for this hotel was very convenient for all the local amenities only a few minutes walk to the local beach. Good continental breakfast with very good selection to choose from.

Review 4：The bar ran out of ice cubes in 40 degrees heat The selection in the bar was not very good Location of hotel was so so

Review 5：Nice clean room Good breakfast Friendly staff

Review 6：Tiny rooms, mould in the bathroom, rooms are absolutely not sound isolated, when you say you want a double bed you will definitely find 2 mattresses and 2 beds joined. And as a cherry on the top, my hairdryer burned while I was using it.

Review 7：Probably breakfast and cleanliness are the only two good things about this hotel

Review 8：on Friday and Saturday night there was loud entertainment in the town square next to the hotel and the windows were only single glazed so could not cut out the noise. It was very loud until just after midnight but then quickly quiet again.

Review 9：clean and friendly

Review 10：- every day same breakfast - beach is near but not large, small beach with stones (not sand)

Review 11：- every day clean room - good location - swimming pool - willing personal

Review 12：Older hotel and its facilities stinky water, smells with disinfectants parking area at hotel too small, not organized overcorwded overpriced

Review 13：hotel location near corso and sea free welcome drink was a nice surprise

Review 14：Upgrade apartment cotonne

Review 15：The Wifi needs to be improved.

Review 16：Love this place. I will keep coming back.

Review 17：Room is small and bathroom TINY! Bed and pillows uncomfortable

Review 18：Friendly staff, good location, good wifi

Review 19：unfortunately no Airconditioning in de building or appartements

Review 20：Nothing. Everything was fine

Review 21：Close to the beach, Resto, shop.

Review 22：It didn't bother us but the absence of a lift could be difficult for some people. Having said that the barman,Dada, handled all the luggage with a smile. The fact that he was strong and good looking helped too!!

Review 23：The professionalism and friendliness of all of the staff. In particular Silvia,Beatrice and Gianni on Reception. The cleaning staff, Gabriella and Paola were excellent too and our room was always spotless. The hotel is right in the heart of Marciana Marina so you can walk everywhere. Also La Primula has had a facelift and the reception and garden area are very appealing.

Review 24：One of the worst hotels in which I have just stayed. The close-cramped room. The complete absence of noise insulation. You hear the sounds of a foreign sex, blowing your nose, farting - the perfect hearing. A miserable furniture. Miserable plumbing. Uncomfortable shower. But the main thing - the fan. It makes a noise as if he grinds acorns. Monstrous sound, audible and in the corridor. The room did not have enough light. Two sconces and floor lamp - the whole room. Overhead lighting was not in principle. Squeaking, knocking bed too impressed. Slow internet. And yes, if you do not have an adapter from the wall outlet (we bought it at a local store) you do not charge your laptop and camera. There is no Euro-sockets! It is fantastic. Food - nonsense. There can be only croissants. Wearing a ham with the smell of socks, smelly sausage, etc. Poorer buffet seen even in impoverished cities of the former USSR. Like the number and cost is not expensive, but the money does not fulfill any little. For example, in Procchio Hotels Brigantino for the money great food, spacious room, decent furniture, excellent lighting.

Review 25：Beautiful girl at the reception.

Review 26：The Standard Room was not very clean and needed a renewal. The rooms on road side are noisy. Not high quality breakfast

Review 27：Very good location, friendly staff

Review 28：The room was small and the bathroom was cramped.

Review 29：The staff were all wonderful, extremely accomodating, friendly. The location was great, right in the middle of town and within walking distance of everything.

Review 30：the staff at the reception was a bit unfriendly and not very helpful. There was no drying racks anywhere but avvertations that it wasn't allowed to hang towels out of the window or on the balkony. The linoleum floor of our room was old and stained. There next beautiful sandbeach is only to be reached by bus.

Review 31：The nicely decorated hotel is situated in the center of Marciana Marina, a vivid little town with a beautiful marina and lots of restaurants and nice little shops. We had two separate beds with own bed sheets for both of us (not one of those large one usually has to share with the other person as usual in Italy). The personell in the restaurant and at the bar was very friendly

Review 32：- poor breakfast - ECO rooms are lower class then 3* (no air conditioning - with outside temperature around 35 C in the day and 23 C in the night; ascetic stuff inside) I expect more from 3* hotel with a price more than 100 EUR per night.

Review 33：Hotel is in the center of the cities with close access to he port, beach and the restaurants.

Review 34：No AC at the room. Breakast was average. No schampoo or other bathroom supplies.

Review 35：Very helpful and friendly staff. Well renovated public areas, rooms was in OK condition. Great location near the beach

Review 36：Of all breakfast staff only two persons was really making an efford to clean tables. The rest was slow.We did not choose the dinner package and then we was passed outside for eating breakfast thus many tables inside was free. A kind of discrimination Passing through traffic ( Main road) , Short of parking place at hotel. Free parking 400 m from hotel.

Review 37：Nice big garden in front of hotel. Good pool area thus it was mainly in the shadow ( Only sunshine in the late afternoon ) location, Walking distance to city and harbour front and the beach. Huge choice of food at the breakfast When leaving early the hotel arranged a breakfast bag for all of us. This was good :)

Review 38：The pool was absolutely freezing. Quadruple rooms are ridiculously small and there is no good separation of room types to ensure that you book a room with eg a balcony. Warm water runs empty in the afternoons.

Review 39：The location is near to perfect, just off the main street and the public beach in the harbour (100m). Gardens are wonderful with varying areas for relaxing in the shadows or at night. Helpful and friendly staff

Review 40：Beds were very uncomfortable, didn't always have hot water and on some occasions during the day no water! Air conditioning was poor, pool chairs need to be cleaned, no covers so often smelled of sweat

Review 41：Very close to beach, very clean,nice pool,good breakfast,family friendly. Close to great restaurant - La Scarletta and also supermarket is just across the road. Advantages outweigh disadvantages I felt. Great stay overall.

Review 42：traffic noise, no balcony ( there are some rooms with balcony- seemed to be empty), therefore no possibility to dry and get fresh air to our walking boots

Review 43：friendly people, located in the center of a nice little city, close to the busstop

Review 44：Walls are super thin, when the wind blew the windows & shutters would constantly rattle even though they're closed, regardless of the temperature setting the shower always sprayed cold water intermittently, day shift staff didnt know what time their pool opened, the car parking is only 300 meters in the opposite direction of everything around.

Review 45：The hotel was clean & upon request was given ice w/extra cups for my drink.

Review 46：Portions of hotel slightly run down (room number missing), but nothing major.

Review 47：Great breakfast buffet (including hot breakfast). Friendly staff (provided complimentary champagne for honeymoon trip). Clean room.

Review 48：Meals at the hotel budget, the range is limited, but acceptable.

Review 49：The hotel is located near the bus stop. To the sea 2 minutes on foot. Across from the hotel there is a supermarket, available to eat fresh fruit. The beach with small oval stones, small in size, the water is clean, close to the beach is a harbor for boats. The city and the area is not suitable for a seaside holiday, but as a combination of sightseeing trips around the island and climb up the mountain of 1050 m. Not restaurant quality in the full sense of the word. The staff is polite and attentive, providing help and assistance. Overall impressions of the hotel are pleasant. However I like more southern part of the island

Review 50：WiFi was not available in a small separate building we had a room at, but the room was well worth going for the Internet to the yard or lobby.

Review 51：It's almost perfect. The location. the room, the treatment - it was awesome. From that point you can hike, relax on the beach, drive around the island or just enjoy your drinks beside a small pool.

Review 52：No airconditioner, in some rooms have seen a ceiling fan, but we changed the room because of the smell of the restaurant and didn't had a fan in both rooms. If you open the windows, you get the noise of the street or hear the gardener making up the gravel path around 6 am. On the backside we had the smell of the restaurant (preparing the delicious breakfast). So either open the window and hear and smell what happens arround the hotel, or close the windows and die. Or take a hotel with AC.

Review 53：Good breakfast (its also possible to get a good coffee from the bar, ask the waitress), good location - supermarkt, two little beaches, promenade with restaurants and bars just few steps away.

Review 54：- Staff doesn't speak even a word English - Super small swimming pool just behind the street - No airconditioning - Super small parking

Review 55：+ Excellent location, near the beach of the super romantic Marciana Marina + Excellent breakfast + Super friendly staff

Review 56：Breakfast and the one dinner we had were adequate rather than meals tolook forward to. Good for families with children. Coffee, bread androlls could be fresher. Perhaps you could install more up-to-datetelevisions in the rooms.

Review 57：Staff always keen to help. Comfortable beds. Pleasant shaded garden andpool. Easy access to beach and restaurants. Rooms and public areasalways spotless. The building and setting have an unostentatious charm.This was a trip to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday, fifty years after she had stayed at la Primula with her parents. As such, our stay was a great success.

Review 58：As a 72 year old solo traveller I don´t care very much about standard. A bed, wc and shower is enough. Mostly I use booking.com to find a hotel. Hotel La Primula is one of my best choices in a long time.
