Selection at Breakfast really extensive
Rooms always clean
Excellent service 
Thank you

The breakfast buffet had a wonderful assortment so everyone could find something no matter their nationality.

Evening meals were so delicious, we rarely book half board as we much prefer to go to restaurants so I was a little worried,

The grounds are beautiful and food is delicious!

The breakfast (buffet) & evening meal (silver service) are, in our opinion, first class.

Breakfast & evening meal were the best, never disappointed and always service with a smile.

Food was delicious especially our evening meal.

Breakfasts were more than an ample and we ordered an omelette each morning.

For the warmer afternoons, you can  retreat to the Garden and make use of the provided chairs and hanging Egg Chairs which are cooler in the shade offered by the trees.

The food was fantastic at both breakfast and dinner with plenty of choice to suit all dietary needs.

How on earth is one supposed to know at breakfast what they might choose for dinner.

Had amazing cocktails in the evening which were made with so much passion, they were so delicious.

There was a large swimming pool and all the plentiful sunbeds were well maintained.

We tend to enjoy the great buffet breakfast at the hotel, followed by lunch and dinner at local bagno establishments and great local restaurants.

The food for both breakfast and evening meals was excellent with more than enough choice during our stay.

The breakfast buffet is so varied I defy anyone not to be able to eat.

Usually we have bed and breakfast on holiday, preferring to eat out in the evenings.

Breakfast was more than adequate for us, highlighted by the large honeycomb and fresh marmalade.

but I couldn't bear to see the poor birds trapped, so I avoided this area, which is a shame .

Towels are thin and bathrooms are poor and institution-like.

However, a poor and unhealthy breakfast buffet, no gym and no focus on the environment makes this an average hotel.

I told him I had a booking for a group of 30 people and this type of poor customer service would make me  choose a different property .

I have never written a poor review before

Our only complaint was the very poor internet wi-fi speed

Found the choice was poor and the food was barely warm.

though the lighting was very poor in the room and you had to switch on the bedside lamp to get the socket near the table to work.

We visited Pisa, Florence and Lucca, and found the trains frequent, clean & cheaper than the UK (despite the poor exchange rate!).

However, the service at breakfast is very poor.

As we left, I was amused to see a very suave man in a smart suit looking dolefully at his piece of meat - completely surrounded by a red, bloody moat, gesticulating at the poor waiter who was cringing before him.

Bad points - awful breakfast, 'hot' food is inedible, birds frequently flying around the room & helping themselves to the bread, poor service for tea & coffee with tables not pre set.

Having seen what the Manager writes in riposte to unfair reviews  (check the poor review Manager's comments on TA, they are a hoot!)

Maps and information were pretty poor - as was information on using their beach partner.

As a USA visitor we were horrified to see the poor state of the rooms.

We paid for a basic room and that's what we got (small-ish, no balcony, poor view).

The cuts of meat were poor and I had the worst lasagne of my life last week!

The service in the restaurant was poor, you are allocated a table for your entire stay, and likewise you tend to have the same waiter(s), it was a regular event for the waiter to come to your table with the meals for a different table, likewise we often saw our meals doing a tour of the restaurant before reaching us.

Although there was some traffic noise this could not be heard at night when the windows and shutters were closed, and using the very efficient air con .

If you're looking for a Club 18-30s style Hotel with Karaoke, Loud music and generally a noisy experience - look elsewhere.

but a lot of traffic noise from the road.

but quite noisy as the pool area backs onto a main road.

The only small gripe was with there being no Jet 2 rep available when you need one.

But if I wouldn't have earplugs I wouldn't sleep first night because of terrible noise in air-condition in room no. 106.

I gave sleep quality 4 as air conditioning was a bit noisy.

We booked a sea front room- be aware there is road noise and sometimes music at night.

I feel the average clientele of the hotel and of the wider area was slightly older so if you’re looking for a quiet calm break, this one is for you.

Yes the air con is noisy, too noisy for me to sleep

Air conditioners are so loud that it is impossible to sleep & leave it on at night so anytime July-Sept it would be impossible.

though noisy as there is a main road running behind it.

Unfortunately, I have to change my beautiful large room at the 5th floor due to the noise disturbing my sleep.

Again there is quite a bit of noise from traffic as it is at the back of the hotel and behind the bushes at the back is the busy road.

The peaceful atmosphere was  sometimes spoilt by a few noisy guests/children jumping and splashing about.

but we did speak to reception in the morning and apparently the police were called to measure the noise level so, well done to the hotel for trying to do something about it.

The quite large swimming pool is at the rear of the hotel accessed through a
garden-such a pity it is adjacent to a fairly busy road and traffic noise can be
intrusive.There is no childrens pool - in fact

After the usual narrow noisy corridors this was a revelation.

As in all Italian towns noisy on weekend evenings, they do like their horns,

Our room was lovely, although the bathroom was a little small

The bathroom was on the small side and our shower cubicle might have posed a few problems for anyone too overweight

The smallest bathroom ever you sat on the toilet with your knees against the wall next to the shower .This was so tiny it would never be allowed health and safety in England.We had to put any toiletries in the bedroom as there was no shelf.

but adequate and I could have done with more storage in the bathroom and the shower is for a small person with not much room to manoeuvre.

Any criticism was the bathroom & shower was very small , could be difficult for any less agile or larger size .

Only down side was the small toilet/shower room.

though as this was very compact with a very small shower cubicle.

but the bathroom well shower room was so small you had to sit on the toilet sideways because your knees were touching the wall and you had step over the toilet to get to the shower, ridiculous for this class of hotel, apparently not all the bathrooms are this small but that didn't make us feel any better.

Small shower stall and very low water pressure and uncomfortable beds.

Some people have said the shower was small,

the public rooms were traditional and gracious.The bathroom was small and we found the corner shower most unsatisfactory, not much room and a dodgy door.

The bedroom was hard to fault, the bathroom was small

although the bathroom was tiny , the gap between the toilet and wall was only 6 inches , you had to negotiate around this to get to the shower!

We had a large room and a very small bathroom (32’’ x 110”) on the second floor.

Elevators are incredibly slow and the showers are way to small,

The bathroom was tiny ,barely adequate and a larger sized couple might have had difficulty useing the toilet and shower , it was fine for us and would not put us off going again .The garden is a real bonus and the pool lovely.

although the bathroom was so small that I had to sit sideways on the toilet!

No closets, the bathroom was so tiny that a 5'9" person can only sit on the toilet when keeping the legs wide apart, and the right one would end up in the shower.

The hotel is stylish, spotlessly clean and the breakfast has a perfect selection to fill you up for the day, including mimosa making ingredients to make it a little extra special.

Great location, nice rooms, nice breakfast.

Plenty of choice for breakfast buffet style

but the undoubted star was Elisa, who was "front of house" for both breakfast and evening meals, all bar one day of our stay.

We stayed in a superior room for 10 nights on a dinner bed and breakfast basis.

Breakfast was a real treat with a large choice and many items cooked fresh to order.

We stayed b&b and the breakfasts were more than sufficient with a really good choice of items which never leave you hungry.

Location was excellent for the beach & train station, a lovely hotel with friendly helpful staff on reception and in the restaurant at breakfast.

The staff were helpful and there was a great selection of food for breakfast.

The  breakfast and dinner staff  were all extremely helpful.

Very good choice of breakfast dishes, didn't eat in the hotel for dinner so cannot comment on that.

The breakfast was fantastic every morning.

The breakfast is very good you order what you want and they have a good selection of fruit, eggs, bread and sweets.

Breakfast à la carte, buffet with facemask and assistance of personnel, plexiglass everywhere, alcohol gel at every entrance, no airco

Breakfast had a wonderful variety and also a la carte.

The breakfast is buffet style with a great variety of hot and cold dishes  as well as a la carte options, included in the price.

We checked into our supposedly deluxe room and it not only looked nothing like the pictures online

The photograph of the hotel is quite deceiving as the hotel does not have swimming pool.

The picture of the hotel on the sites is also misleading as it does not have its own gardens or pool.

Unfortunately pictures of the room are on my camera not on my phone .

Whilst there is no pool (despite a misleading hotel site photo) there is a discount rate for Irene beach club facing the hotel.

The hotel description and photos on Booking.com and Hotels.com mislead us a bit.

We saw one female who was carrying a map to make her look more like a tourist who waited until an old man lifted his arms to take a photo and she dipped his bag.

This hotel was not at all what we expected from the website photos.

Room was tiny, no bath, first time ever in a hotel with no tissues in the room.

Our standard room was very small for two people staying there two weeks.

The room I had was very small for the size of the Hotel

We were disappointed with the room as it was small and in need of refurbishment, particularly the bathroom which was a little shabby.

The room was very small, dark and not like the picture.

Breakfast was amazing, croissants, rolls, cheeses, eggs and bacon, and a fantastic table full of fresh fruits which were delicious.

Our stay was bed and breakfast and the breakfast was excellent.

The ladies looking after us were very attentive  and again, the breakfast room was exceptionally clean.

Breakfast was fantastic, for a small hotel we were impressed by the great selection of fresh fruits, pastries, cold meats and scrambled eggs and lots more, plus the service was friendly and efficient.

Breakfast is good and the location is perfect for the beach and the city.

The staff are the icing on the cake, Luca  and Maria, along with there wonderful team, really provide a first class service, assisting with recommendations of places to eat, which are plentiful.

The breakfast is plentiful with a very good choice.

Breakfast was tasty, small buffet style, and they even did  hard boiled eggs for us.

The variety of the breakfast selection was great.

The hotel is good, good breakfast and good location.

The staff are very friendly, the rooms spotless and the breakfast buffet is superb.

The restaurant provided an excellent choice of breakfast - lovely fresh fruit, savoury selection, English breakfast, continental.

Breakfast always fresh, no matter what time you appear up until 10.30 a.m
Most helpful and knowledgeable staff and ownership.

The hotel is more like a B&B with a bountiful breakfast served every morning, including a wide variety of fresh fruit, pastries, eggs, ham, toast, cheese, tea, coffee, juice, and much more.

An early breakfast was also provided as we had an early flight and this was much appreciated.

The breakfast is fantastic, lots of fresh fruits, nicely cut and also mixed into a salad, yogurt, bread, cakes, cheeses and ham, plis hot scrambled eggs and fried ham.

yogurt, nuts, fruits and, of course, excellent expresso and cappuccino.

everytime you take a shower, the water fills the bathroom as there's no shower base or border to avoid water leakage, it's just a curtain door.

The door of the room isn't particularly thick so could hear cleaning staff and other guests in the corridor clearly.

It was very, very small with no separate shower, just a drain in the floor and some plastic pull around doors as an enclosure.

I think some of the rooms were renovated as the first time I stayed - the bathroom was very small and had flexible shower doors that leaked ALL the water out on the floor.

On the minus side are only the terribly creaky bathroom doors.

Turn left out of the front door and you are one minute from the promenade and the beach.

There was not a speck of dust anywhere – even in places like on top of the door architraves (sad –

We easily parked on the street the hotel was on 30 ft. from the door of the hotel with no difficulty.

The room is nice, only the bathroom is a little bit small.

The shower was so tiny I couldn’t move or turn around in it and I am a small woman!

The bedrooms and bathrooms are quite small

Small bathroom [ even smaller shower area] -

Although our bathroom was quite small, more of a wetroom.

The washbasins are large and for those who like a bath or have a number of small children to deal with there is a large fully equipped bathroom on each floor – shared by only 5 bedrooms which practically ensures exclusive access.

ROOM
We stayed 6 nights and when we arrived we got a small room with a small and quite old bathroom on the first floor (room 101).

I'll get the downside out of the way first, our room was quite small and dark for the price (130 euro per night),

If I had any criticism, the room we had was a little small and dark,

Moreover, our room was tiny & constructed in a way that you don't feel comfortable & relaxed there, perhaps because of the position in the corner of the building, so 2 walls contained large windows  providing noise from streets.

Now for the bad points for hotel Tirrenia:

~ The previous comments by DrFu regarding the size of the attic rooms were partially accurate.. the room is about 3ft one end and roughly about 5ft 10” at the highest unfortunately this means if your over 5ft 10” then I would avoid these rooms, you need to duck right down to walk around most of the small room so my girlfriend & I were constantly forgetting and banging our heads! Doh.

however was quite old, dated and actually smelt for the first day or two until I aired it out (which of course introduced a load of mosquitos!)

We were  celebrating my  husbands birthday the only problem was on the night of his birthday we went to a restaurant that was recommended by the hotels leaflet we arrived 7.30 pm and restaurant was empty only to be told by waiter that they were too busy/full did they think we were blind on leaving the staff seated outside smoking laughed and said TOURISTS, we felt humiliated.

but definitely wouldnt venture into the sea because it was very dirty with floating debris and jellyfish!

Things not so good:
-Room smelled of smoking and we were not asked about a smoker/non-smoking room
-Toilet drain did not get almost any water at all due to badly done floor tilting

After driving 5 hours to Viareggio, this was disheartening, made worse by the nasty attitude of the owner of the hotel, who was infuriated that I wouldnt put my family in that room.

Very difficult to sleep and when we opened the windows to cool the room, (used the window nets) we ended up getting bitten badly by mosquitoes.

The bathroom was teeny with a sort of shower curtain in one corner which at just 5'6 I struggled to fit into.

The only problem was the noisy air conditioning - leaving the window open invited in the mozzies!

Slight road noise at night so had to shut window

Conveniantly and quite amusingly for the guys when you need to stand and use the loo there is a window right above the toilet in the ceiling you so you don't have to duck haha!!

This hotel reserved for me an  "attic room" which had a 5 foot clearance at the highest point in the ceiling (it slanted down to about 3 feet at the other end of the room) and had a skylight directly over the bed, which was covered with a flimsy curtain.

All the staff are friendly, special mention to the lady who makes the coffee at breakfast and the two reception staff.

Nice clean, comfortable rooms & good variety of breakfast choices - including fresh  croissants daily.

Breakfast was delicious, fresh and quality produce, scrambled eggs, bacon, ham and cheeses, fresh fruit and yoghurt and home made tarts and pastries - it was amazing!

Breakfast was good (having a good Italian coffee freshly made was lovely)

Room has a small fridge, air con and we had a good sized balcony looking out to the sea and mountains.

& very clean.The breakfast was superb with lots of choice The hotel is very near the beach.

Our breakfasts had to be in our room, consisting of fresh fruit, cakes, toasts & jam and the facility to make coffee or tea.

Very nice and helpfull stuff.Excellent breakfast with great fruit selection.

Breakfast was plentiful and the waitress in the dining room was really pleasant and friendly.

The hotel also serves lovely fresh breakfasts with enough variety to cater for all tastes.

The hotel was spotlessly clean, the beds were really comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, the breakfasts were amazing, all the staff were really friendly and helpful.

The breakfasts are of the "Continental" variety with a wide choice,

Breakfast is excellent, with a great range of pastries, cereals etc., plus scrambled eggs and bacon.

The breakfast buffet is one of the larger I've seen - many choices from protein dishes to cereal and yogurt to amazing fresh fruit trays.

However, what we’ve got was a firm and true level of a 3-stars hotel.

but I was given another pillow which was not quite so firm.

However, two cons need to be mentioned: first, there was no free wifi, which might be a little uncomfortable for the one's beeing on the road.

We stayed in a standard double room, which meets all the requirements, including the safe and mini-bar.The only time that a few spoil the overall impression is a narrow shower cabin that was pretty uncomfortable for me.

Other than that it was lovely and I really feel the lovely staff make this hotel what it is

Oh and you have to pay for wifi €4 a day and multiple devices!

Downside is that you have to pay for internet.

Will definately return only hopefully then will not have to pay for Wifi ,which was our only bugbear .

The only negative point is that we have to pay for the wifi

They have a great deal with one of the beach clubs for 15€/day (this is cheap for italy; it was sept though). The only real critique we had was the WiFi which costs 5€/day (and device!!!)

The food is amazing (breakfast and dinner).

Very nice hotel with comfortable beds and  good breakfast.

The amenities are wonderful, we enjoyed the spa, the pool, delicious food, and use of bicycles to explore the area.

but this one delivered all that we wanted and more, breakfast, lunch, drinks and dinner.

Breakfast choice was extensive and all food on offer was of a very high standard.

From the friendliness and attentive staff, to the beautiful facilities, and amazing included breakfast buffet.

The staff at breakfast each morning was super friendly and helpful.

Delicious breakfast and fantastic restaurant.
