super cozy hotel atmosphere during the whole day, everything clean and I really liked the design, also very cool terrace on the top. Great variety for breakfast, they we making sure all the time that nothing was missing, still bringing new items even before closing time. You can enjoy breakfast inside or outside on terrace with the views to the port. The hotel has also italian restaurant with good prices and offer. Hotel is in the center, has perfect location, close to bus stop and surrounded by restaurants, bars, shops. Room has AC, kettle, and all you need. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend and come back. Hotel is also bike friendly :)

“Breakfast with a view”

Great day to start the day. Cava and OJ with an all you can eat buffet overlooking the harbour. Good selection of hot/cold, cereals,and pastries, but please avoid the coffee! Friendly staff. Pleasant ambience. Excellent value for the money. Recommended for a great start to your day

“Great location. Get what you pay for .”

Ok so here is a lengthy review of our recent stay . First , the positives Fantastic location right in the centre . Really friendly reception. Very helpful. Strong WiFi connection. Maids will change your bed daily if you want them to. Choice of pillows . Shower is good. We were able to check in early . Now for the not so great (might seem picky but want to give a thorough overview) Rooms are very tired . (We upgraded to partial seaview) Balcony has broken tiles . Bathroom peeling doors. There are loose sheets on top of the very thin mattress protectors which end up coming away in the night (much better to have a fitted bottom sheet) . The balcony light is permanently on so light comes through the screwed up , ill fitting curtain . There are gaps around the whole of the entrance door so light floods in here too. Skirting boards and floor corners need a good clean. There is no mirror where the plug socket is & the wardrobe door , which has the full length mirror doesn’t stay open , so the only way that I could do my hair is to prop my case in front of the wardrobe door and sit on the floor . Because of its great location it’s noisy to sit on the balcony Breakfast - good selection of pastries and a small amount of fruit . No tongs to get the sliced bread out of the basket so had to use fingers . This didn’t seem fresh either . Eggs were cooked and put on a hot plate which just set the yolks hard . Beans cold and dried up . Bacon was lukewarm. All in all you get what you pay for and the room did the job but we wouldn’t return until they had a decent refurb rather than a sticking plaster over it all .

“Disappointed as a previous fan”

This is our second stay in the Eolo.

This is our second stay in the Eolo. We stayed in the sister hotel the Capri for 4 years but it only has a lift to every half floor and has a fair amount of stairs to get to the lift from the entrance, so that became difficult. It is just where the pedestrian area ends so there is traffic. That didn’t bother us too much. We were in room 404 which is the corner balcony on the top floor. Views over the bay and the marina. The staff are just fantastic. From reception, waiters to housekeepers, every one is just lovely and will do anything to make your stay perfect. The staff have changed since our last visit though and we were so sorry to see those who had become friends were no longer there, To be honest it’s the staff that make this, and the Capri special. We ate breakfast here for our first two days but then remembered we could eat in the Capri just 5 minutes away so we did that every day. The breakfast buffet there is bigger, much of the same stuff but just more of it…and I got a teapot with boiling water from the lovely Romanian lady Gabby behind the bar, I had freshly baked gluten free rolls brought to me every morning once they realised I had coeliac disease. I could have had these in the Eolo too. All these wee things matter. The Capri has a lovely terrace upstairs so we enjoyed using that after breakfast. The beds have been changed in the Eolo and are very comfortable and you can choose soft or hard pillows..I had both! No complaints there. There is a free safe. There is a lift to all floors The sunrises from the balcony are awesome, and it’s a great place to sit with a drink in the evening listening to the music in the lemon lounge. I used the cushions from the room to make the metal chairs more comfortable. Now to the negatives. And there are many. The rooms are very very small. The bed (2 singles) almost fill the space. Last year we could put our empty suitcases under the beds but the new beds don’t allow that. There is hardly any clothes space, a hanging space and two small drawers. A small shelf at bedside with a socket. The bathroom is tiny…there are two pegs on the wall to hang bath towels. Nowhere to hang hand towels.. the toilet roll has to sit on the wooden cabinet at the side of the loo. In our bath room the shampoo and shower gel dispensers didn’t pump so I had to leave them in the shower with the pump off. The shower is ok but as the glass is so short the shower mat gets absolutely soaked every day. The towels are adequate but old. In our bathroom there is old black mould which is not just this season and should have been repainted. There is damage to the paint on the toilet door which doesn’t look new. All this points to the management not keeping on top of repair and refurbish in the hotel,. Yes it is in a great location but it is not cheap and I feel that the management should look around the port and see how they compare so badly to others, There is a kettle and two cups and tea and coffee and creamer available and two small glasses.. That basically fills up the whole shelf. I asked in the bar and was given a wine glass. There is a small fridge but it isn’t very cold so our milk only lasted a few days. We bought mugs in the Chinese shop but you can pick up in charity shop. I think the owner or manager of this hotel needs to realise that just being in a good location isn’t all that matters. Black mould in a superior room is not acceptable. Does the manager ever walk round every room to check standards? It doesn’t seem like they do. Would I come back? Even as a returning guest with a discount? No sorry. Have found an apartment 10 x the size of our room so sadly no. The hotel is a favourite with cyclists for location and storage and cheap non view rooms but sadly the lack of upkeep and investment did it for me 🥲 sometimes hotels can get a bit too complacent. Maybe a wake up call needed
