Coronari Palace

“Keep looking”

We had 3 rooms at the Coronari. The location is great, the service very friendly and the breakfast and Cappuccios were great. Why then the 3 rating?

We had 3 rooms at the Coronari. The location is great, the service very friendly and the breakfast and Cappuccios were great. Why then the 3 rating? Honestly I had read about the black hallways and black bathrooms before we booked but I couldn't even imaging how depressing and ugly they are. When I got off the elevator on my floor It was entirely black painted walls and I thought I accidently must have gone to an attic floor or to an unauthorized area. Then I realized this was the hall to my room. Creepy. The room was clean, the lights didn't work well but the bathroom, every wall ,the floor and the shower were completely painted or tiled black. IIn addition with all this black surround there was not enough light to even put on makeup. t was really a downer and I have to say , depressing. As my daughter said, " it is not may favorite room, but it is my least favorite room". I have to agree, but nothing that a few gallons of white paint couldn't fix. I completely get trying for the modern black and white decor, but this was a big miss.

“Great location and staff but not best hotel”

We were disappointed in the rooms at the Coronari Palace, the small size of the breakfast area and the lack of a lobby level bathroom. The staff, location and breakfast food was great.

We were disappointed in the rooms at the Coronari Palace, the small size of the breakfast area and the lack of a lobby level bathroom. The staff, location and breakfast food was great. We stayed at the Coronari in 2016 and loved the old charm which is now gone with the renovation to a more "modern" look. With the dark paint and fixtures, the bathrooms were dark making it difficult to see. Unlike other hotels, the entry door opens out. This confused us at first and we also found it affected another couple that was staying at the hotel. We arrived back from dinner one night to find a guest trying to reach someone at the after hours number. We tried to help while they made numerous attempts to connect with someone. During this time I suggested they try the room key again, remembering to pull, rather than push, the door. And it worked! Perhaps a sign would help. The employees were pleasant and helpful with arranging transportation to the train station and making reservations for dinner our first night. On our second morning, the employee at the desk brought over a lighted candle in a cupcake for our granddaughter for her birthday. The breakfast area is small. With our family of 11 seated, there was only two other seats remaining. Luckily we were up and out early. The rooftop terrace was nice and provided a unique view of the city.
