Reviews for Hotel Palazzo Krataiis

Review 1：Limited breakfast options. Since the hotel does not have an elevator, the reception did not offered to help with carrying the luggage ato the third floor.

Review 2：I hate giving bad reports, most hotels and guest houses really try to be good,and after 35 years in the trade I know just how hard it is. But just occasionally it is necessary to say some thing. Remember this was December, and quite cool day and night; the hot water system is simply not up to the job. The staff suggest waiting 5 mins for the temperature to come up, I could not wait and had a miserable tepid shower after 25 mins. Neither flow nor temperature is sufficient to fill the huge corner spa bath in a week. The management, when informed, refused to hear any criticism, implying it was my fault for not waiting long enough. The second complaint is that when we arrived there was a block of a papery/fiberous matter in the WC. This was drawn to the attention of the young lady behind the reception desk, who promptly produced a rubber glove for my wife to wear to remove the blockage. My jaw dropped. I suggest a course in staff training is badly needed at the Palazzo Krataiis.

Review 3：Scylla is a delightful seaside town with a spectacular location. The great castle rock is seasonally lit and twinkles most festively. The Palazzo Krataiis has been thoughtfully and well modernised, the decor is quirky, but in a good way. The room we had was most generously proportioned and prettily furnished. Breakfast is a step up from the usual as fresh boiled eggs are available.

Review 4：Staff are very pleasant and capable, but a little stuffy

Review 5：Lovely old palazzo; out of season it is quiet and very comfortable. Restaurant is excellent and the location on the sea front is good.

Review 6：Place seemed a little run down, the staff not all that interested in us, the wifi connection didn't work.

Review 7：A grand old hotel but now looking a bit tired. The room was spacious and it was easy enough to park nearby.

Review 8：Fabulous location and beautiful room and really helpful staff. We also had a wonderful meal with great service in the hotel restaurant which was our best dining experience during 3 weeks travelling in Italy.

Review 9：Limited choice for breakfast. Shower not very hot. A bit noisy outside at night.

Review 10：Spacious room with great view. Dinner at restaurant excellent pasta dishes.

Review 11：Nothing.

Review 12：This was a very comfortable hotel, with very friendly staff. Though the hotel itself is small, the rooms are very spacious and the overall feel was of a well run, family hotel.

Review 13：The location was perfect, directly across the road from beach, or a 10/15 minute walk to chianlea. There is also a road train to take you to the top of the City to see monuments and the castle. The room was exceptional, very large full bathroom with spa! Breakfast was great, fresh home made cakes, fresh fruit, cereal, yoghurt, toast. The staff were very helpful and even offered my son free cakes in the afternoon. It is a beautiful hotel in an amazing location. We didn't try the restaurant as we only had one night here, but it has very good reviews also. I would definitely stay here again when we are lucky enough to travel to Scilla in the future.

Review 14：WI-fi in bedroom was sometime spotty. But good reception in the lobby.

Review 15：Everything, spacious room, with amenities, little terrace, across from the beach in a beautiful coastal Calabrian town. Restaurant was outstanding.

Review 16：Excellent location, wonderful breakfast. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Our room had a beautiful view of the sea and the mountains. Within walking distance to Chianalea and many restaurants. Area rug is a bit worn and needed vacuuming when we first arrived which the staff did.

Review 17：It is a tricky place to find but if you are more used to windy narrow Italian village roads than us you should be fine . The wifi did not work in the room but downstairs was fine .

Review 18：A great waterside location in a unique partly cliff top and partly waterfront town . The view of the water across to Sicily and the adjacent castle was a spectacular setting . Staff were friendly and very helpful - really making us feel welcome .

Review 19：No WiFi in rooms, only in reception

Review 20：The location of the hotel is fantastic, with the beautiful beach of Scilla some steps away and the fishermen's area, where great restaurants are placed. The building is awesome and the rooms exceptional!

Review 21：needs some small repairs and maintenance. Hotel will soon need a general update

Review 22：large room, friendly staff. Located in a charming village and next to a fortress and a fishing village

Review 23：Although the location is spectacular, I hate to think about the noise in the summer. It's surrounded by restaurants and bars. We were there in November so it wasn't a problem. They should invest in sound proof windows. The decor is a little tired too.

Review 24：The location, right on the ocean front made it very convenient and the views from the room were spectacular. The staff were very very attentive and helpful. If Scilla is your destination, then this hotel is probably the best in town.

Review 25：Parking is apparently an issue during July/Aug, but we stayed in later September, so no problems. Only complaint is that the Jacuzzi tub we had in the room was a pain...slow warm/hot water and what is it with 1/2 of the light bulbs being burned out. This property needs to updating! On a side note the breakfast room had a gray mouse visitor....not great to see in a 4 star place, but then again 4 stars in Italy is probably 2 stars someplace else.

Review 26：Beach is right out in front of place.

Review 27：This is a great spot for a stopover on the way back to room. Room is spacious and clean and the breakfasts are superb. Make sure you have a meal in the restaurant - we had fresh baked fish that was delicious and served professionally - also received good advice on local wines.

Review 28：We had to check out early morning to catch train so were in abit of a hurry. It wasn't til we were on the train that we realised that we had been overcharged by quite a lot. I will follow this up when I get home. It was a shame as it marred a fantastic stay in Scilla

Review 29：This was a quality hotel, loved it

Review 30：Room smelt musty. Fridge was not working and dangerously hot, when we reported it he just unplugged it and left us without one. Breakfast was terrible, bread and cakes were stale, machinery did not function properly (toaster, egg boiler, juicer), the coffee was very bad (which is simply inexcusable in Italy!) We will not be going back.

Review 31：Staff were friendly, room was large, bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean.

Review 32：Arrived by train bit of a hike but well worth it. Get location, great old hotel great restaurant, we ate on the beach and lots to see. A nice place to relax. Choose to break up our train travels from the Amalfi coast to Sicilia, excellent idea.

Review 33：pity breakfast was a little short on supplies which were not renewed for late-comers.

Review 38：This was an overnight stop on our way to Sicily and were really pleased to find such a lovely hotel with such friendly and helpful staff. The entire hotel, including our room, is decorated with high quality furnishings and is beautifully designed. The room was large and very comfortable and in the morning we were provided with a delicious breakfast. The hotel is situated a few metres from the beach/lido and in the evening we ate in a very friendly pizzeria. We had planned on parking our car in a garage but in the ended opted to park outside the hotel as it was quite safe.

Review 69：Absolutely fabulous. This place was a real find. No attention to detail spared with a great location, a stones throw from the beach and friendly staff.The room was tastefully decorated and was more like a 5 star establishment.
