It was loud, so we didn't get much sleep during our stay.

.although I think we were unlucky with
our neighbours who liked the TV on and doors and shutters open - all the time and loud.

No subtle music played it is like being in a holiday camp .

but we found it really noisy, we were more or less above restaurants and bars and when all these closed groups of loud teenagers congregated just in front of hotel on scooters etc and didn't go til 4am.

However when on the last evening, there was no half bottle of wine waiting for us after having drunk half of one the night before, we asked the head waiter where it was.

However, if you are looking for a party town, this isn't it - the Island is beautiful and has managed to keep it's original charm,

but which has loud pop music blaring out and plastic faux wicker seating.

but it might have an effect on the small loud groups who are not being thoughtful.

Underneath room 109 and 110 is a bar that plays music to 02:00 in the morning and this resonates through the floor of the room, we tried to tolerate it

The only negative is the noise from the street - last night the music was blasting until 3:00.

We were right above a bar/restaurant which did get a little loud at night,

but the second night it was playing at 10:30 PM and I had to call to move rooms.

There were also perhaps hundreds of people on the street and terrace and Italians do talk loud.

I was surprised it wasn't as noisy as I suspected.

Our room had a balcony overlooking the harbour which in mid September was not overly crowded or noisy.

We could hear everything in the rooms next to us, the walls are that thin, so it’s difficult to sleep.

Noise not a problem for us even with ferries docking and leaving, and a wedding on the street below.

However, we had a room at the front of the property, which was VERY noisy at night.

It’s just such a shame the hotel isn’t better sound proofed.

You will hear neighbours tv and even snoring!

The walls are thin so you can hear everything in adjoining rooms - the terraces are shared so it’s not a hotel for privacy really.

The only small gripe i have is our room didn't have black out curtains so every morning when the sun rose we were awake.

As I was overlooking the street, I had people walking about, cars and noise from the bars and restaurants around.

We had a room with a balcony over looking the marina which had good views and spacious; the only down side is that it can be noisy overnight from passing traffic and people, especially over the weekend,

We read some reviews which stated that the front rooms were noisy and suffered from exhaust smoke from the boats in the harbour.

although this can be quite noisy early morning sometimes.

but a little tired) 

The hotel is in the buzz of the port - we enjoyed the liveliness of the area, busy but not too noisy.

If you want complete peace and quiet, then this hotel is not for you,

It was noisy and ferries exhausting fuel not good to smell or inhale.

We stayed in October and the island was definitely on the summer wind down - I can imagine that a room overlooking the port could be a noisy place to stay in the height of summer, with boats coming and going and the noise of people at the bars and adjacent restaurants.

This was well priced, ok clean room and handy to be able to have a swim in the thermal pool too.

+ What comes to the hotel itself: the room was clean and spacious.

but clean room with very quiet Air Con.. Comfy bed.

Our room was spotless, always, and our walk out terrace was perfect for a late night wine under the stars.

The rooms are clean, cleaned daily and sheets and towels are changed every other day.

Clean room with attentive housekeeping, ok breakfast.

Our cleaner was a lovely, friendly lady, very meticulous in her work & we always knew that we would find our room spotless after she had been.

The rooms clean and spacious with good shower facilities.

The staff were very friendly and the room very clean.

Our room was very  clean and had the luxury of clean bedding, toiletries and towels daily.

Our room was very clean and the size was good too.

To start with the positives: clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff (went above and beyond, made reservations for us etc) , warm pool.

The room was spotlessly clean when we arrived and well looked after during our stay.The food was good, plenty of choice and mostly of a high standard.

The rooms were an easy walk to connecting boats to Naples and a direct trip to Sorrento (once a day near 5pm) Each room was spotless, well appointed and spacious for our two nights.

The room was clean and the linen and towels were changes regularly ( the sheets were changed again the night before we left?).

On the plus side our room was kept very clean.

.Al la Carte restaurant at top of hotel ..is expensive for the portion sizes..we travel all around the world and the portions were tiny.

Only problem was the price had risen from £289 to £805!

but was sadly way out of out price range to be honest.

I would say one downside if the price of drinks around five euros for a coke, it put us off spending much time there and wandered around the town more where you can find food and drinks a lot cheaper.

Also the wines are extremely expensive, around e28-34 at the lower end, annoying when the same wines can be found locally at a quarter of the price.

There are so many other options in town, don’t pick this over priced mess.

Seriously overpriced and a boring location.

It is very expensive for drinks and food.

There was only 1 slice cheese available and it was probably the lowest cost cheese as it was so bland.

The published rate for a taxi to the harbour is €15 euros.

but we really ended up paying for it in the rates.

Does not fit a family of three. Overpriced.

It was difficult and a lot more expensive to find alternate accommodation at the last minute. I

I have to say I found it confusing having the price of each course on the menu, I could not understand this as people other than residents are not allowed to eat in the restaurant!!!

Not the first report of this hotel overbooking sea view rate rooms on tripadviser, and the bad attitude of management.

The private beach has sunbeds & umbrella at no additional cost with a snack bar behind for drinks & food payable to the locals running it and not the hotel so take some cash!

Furthermore in the end we've been surprisingly charged a £ 12.00 extra as a 'stay tax'.

Now we had to urgently look for alternative rooms and book at a higher price.

but after searching for hours for somewhere to go for a bit of relaxation, this seemed a price worth paying.

Room was spotless, very, very comfortable.

The rooms were clean and I think we had the best room in the building; 2nd floor, far corner overlooking the pool.

The rooms are clean with plenty of storage.

Our room was clean and perfectly adequate for our stay.

Beautiful place, rooms great and very clean.

Rooms were clean and breakfast was really good.

Room service is excellent  change of towels etc replaced daily and room kept clean, bins are emptied twice a day, standards are high as they are throughout the hotel.

but the rooms are very clean, bright and comfortable.

but not over familiar
The rooms were spotlessly clean with nice toiletries.

The hotel, pool area, reception area, roof top, and rooms are spotless.

The room was spotless and serviced twice each day, morning and evening.

The rooms were clean the restaurant was very good.

Spa nice and relaxing and the cleaning staff kept our room immaculate,fresh towels,tea making facilities and shower gel and body cream every day.

We were on the ground floor near the pool, with a little balcony area .The room was small

The rooms are on the small side and a bit outdated

Small room with inadequate towels and cheap Chinese TV.

but okay, the hotel rooms are small and in need of updating.

I did look round this hotel and the rooms are tiny compared with my usual hotel.

My first thought was that room was quite small

For what we pai,  this hotel was substandard.they had small rooms with double beds only .it's best described as a 3* b&b.

As a result, we were sent to a very VERY small room off the side of the lobby.

The rooms are as described they are a little small the showers very very small not a hotel for big people.

Rooms are small as usu In Europe, specially bathrooms,

however our room was very small and dated making our two night stay a little uncomfortable at times.

but the first room was very small and wouldnt have been nice for 2 weeks.

Only negative: a bit hard to find, need better signs on the approach road.

The only negative is that the hotel may feel isolated as it is a long way down a narrow winding road and there is nothing else there.

True road from the port of Ischia to the hotel we were looking for 2 hours !, because the navigator of our car refused to receive and search for the address of the hotel.

However on the down side, our bathroom was full of ants, and the road to the hotel is very narrow and parking in the hotel car park very difficult (the owner does it for you).

Hidden away on a very narrow steep road, on route to Sorgeto Beach (this beach has natural thermal hot springs, bit of a trek down the steps

but parking on the island was a nightmare to find, and the driving along the narrow windy roads was downright scary.

The road to Panza is pretty steep and completely dark at nigth, bringing a flashlight is thus a good idea if you are planning to walk.

Just up the road is a ristorante, La Rondinella, that should be avoided at all costs!

First impressions of this hotel from the road are that it is somewhat run down and dirty

Also, BE CAREFUL at the hot springs down the road.

but if you don't fancy negotiating the narrow windy roads, a regular bus service is available at the top of the hill to take you around the island.

The hotel is quite small and tucked away down a very narrow single track road.

It is isolated at the end of a long narrow road.

Everything was perfect: breakfast was plentiful, rooms were clean, dinner was very fine and the staff was amazing.

Personal, friendly service; very clean rooms and common parts; sound breakfast including many homemade produce; fresh, honest and tasteful food in the restaurant, boasting daily changing lunch and dinner menus featuring a choice of meat/fish/veggie in each course

The room was spotless, as was the rest of the hotel.

Great location and gorgeous view, really pleasant, beautiful, amazing view and clean rooms, the breakfast are the best in Italy and the dinner are different everyday and you can find many healthy options.

part of heaven , very nice view , good food , quiet place , 30 min to walk until sant'angelo ,big room and very clean , excellent view , thermal aqua is a tips ,good breakfast with fruits and good cofee

but still had great views and the rooms were very clean and spacey.

If you are looking for wonderful Italian hospitality, from a family-run hotel who is working hard at making your stay great, if you are looking for very clean room, if you enjoyed very well prepared and delicious meal, if you are looking for some spectacular views and sunsets, if you are looking for relaxation, than I highly recommend this hotel.

Good clean room, comfortable bathroom with large shower.

The choice was poor and not good quality.

Even the breakfast (which is appreciated by other reviewers) is poor.

I have down graded the service because of the poor food at the issue over the food allergy.

Room was very clean with the best hairdryer and great air conditioning .

The room was very clean, as was the rest of the hotel.

It is the staff that make the difference here, rooms are spotless, a minibus runs at regular times into town (and on request) which is great for days out and evening dinner by the harbour.

The rooms were immaculate, spacious and with ample space for clothing.

The rooms are spotlessly clean, the beds big and comfortable and the food is excellent.

The rooms were very clean and the cleaners kept it that way without being overly intrusive.

The outside pool is a jewel  set in the middle of the hotel, there are loungers around the pool and 3 other levels to enjoy the sun and the views including a roof Terrace with spectacular views.The rooms were immaculate and our junior suite was very spacious.

Very welcome andgood friendly staff.Very clean rooms.

From its spotlessly clean rooms, friendly and attentive reception & waiting staff, kindly and skilled spa attendants, all was very well organised & expertly delivered.

Our spacious room was clean, bright and attractively furnished.

The dinning room is very clean and well appointed.

The room was spotless with a comfortable bed.

The hotel room was very clean (immaculate) and large.

There were signs in the room saying how they would charge you for bringing in any food or drinks from outside.

The most absurd thing was a sign in the room which I will attach.

but many people walked around without them there were no signs regarding foot wear.

The only warning I would put is that some of the rooms have no window.

No problem getting sunbeds and no sign of anyone ‘bagging’ sunbeds at some ridiculous time in the morning!

but was spoilt at times by large groups of ladies staying at the hotel screaming and shouting even though there were signs everywhere saying 'please be quiet in the spa'
Maybe they have never been to a sauna, who knows, but it was very off putting.

Also we were prohibited from bringing drinks and food into the hotel which was a bit annoying.

There's a surprising notice on the door stating that those who eat food in the room or drink beverages that are not purchased at the hotel will be charged an extra fee for cleaning and service.

poor

Too busy smoking or talking to their friends on their cellular to check into a hotel , that you actually have a reservation for.

Though very busy at the end of August, there are so many things to see and fantastic scenery to soak in.

One gained the impression that the service provided was done out of a genuine passion and pride and not merely for a living.

We left understanding why it had left an impression.

First, do not get the impression that you are going to be staying at a Hotel, as you feel you are visiting family !!

We were there at the end of the season yet the hotel was still quite full and still at time we had the impression of being the only guests, no one bothering us, no pressure, no invasion of our dear privacy and yet, when we needed something: information, suggestion, help, then everyone was right there doing what was asked for, in no time and with a smile.

The whole hotel was immaculately clean and our room, with sea view, was beautifully presented in a typically Italian style with robes and slippers for the pool, spa and sun terrace.

This is a gorgeous little hotel with views out to sea, lovely terraces to relax on, a cool jacuzzi on the roof terrace and warm thermal pool in the basement, spotlessly clean rooms with comfortable beds, and the most wonderful staff.

The comfortable and very clean room, perfect food (the dinners were with so many dishes, that I couldn't believe at first with my eyes), the smiles of everybody around you, amazing roof terrace with luxury jacuzzi, great wellness centre - absolutely everything was perfect!!!!!

The rooms are clean and well sized and spotlessly cleaned every day.

The rooms were very clean with comfortable beds and lots of closet space.

Had a wonderful stay at the hotel Villa Sirena, this family run hotel is ischia's best kept secret.. the rooms were clean and lovely, the food superb and the staff and owners had a nothing was too much trouble attitude . .

Lovely, clean rooms, excellent breakfasts, memorable dinners and fantastic wines from the island.

The room was clean and comfortable with a sea view.

This is a small old-style family run hotel with  spotlessly clean rooms.

The room clean and cured in every detail.

The rooms were very clean and the details were great - hand painted decorative tiles, open-wide windows with louver screens, etc.

A great place to relax in the pool and Turkish bath, super clean rooms, authentic Ischia food, gourmet!, so many courses, so many different things to try out, all very delicious, a very excellent chef!

The spa is beautiful, the rooms immaculately clean, the food is to die for and the staff are all friendly and helpful.

The room was immaculate, comfortable with a small balcony off it - we had no complaints at all.

The rooms were clean & the showers quite powerful & we made the most of the hotel spa, which was wonderful.

The rooms are clean, spacious enough and very comfortable.

Food was very tasty, room was clean, spa is beautiful, the terrace on the roof is very nice - it has a small hot tub, sunbeds, umbrellas and some tables and beautiful view.

Hotel Villa Sirena

impression

busy

Our hotel, as most of them, was set up high, the rooms also over several levels, lots of steps, so not for the less mobile,

The door this leads to is locked after 10 so you have to ring the bell to reception. .

There are a lot of steps involved around the hotel which may be an issue for less mobile holiday makers.

We also think the use of mobiles should be banned in the restaurant.

If you are getting taxis then ask the hotel to arrange and take a phone number to call on return.

Phone - very poor sound quality 
Inadequate in-room hotel info.

Just be aware if the many flights of steps to be negotiated at this hotel so
not so good if you are not very mobile.

There was meant to be a buzzer which rang through to reception who would let you in

If anything went wrong the lovely Mina (Thomsons rep) is only a phone call away.

but for my parents it was a bit tiring - they did it but anyone less mobile would find this hotel quite difficult.

On a slightly negative note, if your not particulary mobile, you may need to know that some of the rooms, particularly those with a sea view, can be  some distance away from the main complex and either up or down steps.

A downside was that the free wifi in the room was poor at best and intermittent in public areas.
