Hotel Strada Marina

This is a slightly different review for me as I was travelling for personal reasons rather than a holiday or a business trip. My mother was taken unwell on holiday and I booked this hotel in a more rushed fashion than normal to get out to support her. Arrival I was really friendly greeted - I’d had a long day at the hospital and was greeted with ‘we have a special treat for you - we have upgraded your room’. I’d debated for some time between a sea view room and a city view room when booking but thinking I wouldn’t be in the room a lot I’d gone for a city view - then having a sea view room was so lovely and as I ended up working early in the morning seeing the sunrise was just amazing Room The rooms are basic but huge and well maintained. I think my only comment as a single traveller would be that a chain on the door would be appreciated. Bed was comfortable and when I was cold the first night the team quickly found me a lovely warm thick blanket. There is a bath in the outward facing rooms but the shower is handheld - this was fine for me as a bath person. Food As this was the end of season the roof top restaurant was closed so only breakfast was available. (Please note that third party booking websites don’t tell you that the pool and roof top restaurants are only open June to September so check with the hotel). Breakfast was a good variety despite the hotel being quieter - the breads and pastry / cakes selection was really good. Someone in a previous review said that toast wasn’t available - there is a toaster and many choices of bread. Location The hotel is right on the harbour - it is a little noisy as you are right in the middle of the town but you also get the benefits of being right in the middle of town with shops and restaurants within a couple of minutes walk. People I’d love to give a real shout out to the team - they couldn’t have done enough for me - from offering to translate documents to printing things for me to asking every day how my mum was - I just felt well looked after and not as isolated as I could have been given the circumstances. Thank you to each and everyone of you.
