Poggio Catino hotels from HK$576

"I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately it feels less like a hotel and more like a time capsule… and not in a charming, vintage way. Let’s start with the room: the walls look like they’ve gone a few rounds with a moving company—scuffed, marked, and clearly overdue for a fresh coat of paint. The TV is so small I’ve seen larger screens on desktop monitors, which made relaxing in the evening a bit of a squinting exercise. Now, the real entertainment: the symphony of noise. Every time the air conditioning or fans shut off, they make sounds dramatic enough to suggest the building itself is reconsidering its life choices. Not exactly the peaceful getaway one hopes for. Outside doesn’t fare much better. The garden area seems to have entered a “survival of the fittest” competition, with weeds winning by a landslide. It gives the impression that maintenance might be more of a concept than an actual practice here. And while location can sometimes make up for shortcomings… that’s not the case here. It’s just another challenge added to the list. All humor aside, this place has potential—but it’s currently being overshadowed by a noticeable lack of care. A little investment in upkeep, aesthetics, and basic maintenance would go a long way. Because right now, it feels like a runaway train heading straight toward declining reviews and even faster-declining occupancy. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend staying here"

"Clean room but very few break"

"Good breakfast "

"Struttura antica e decisamente da rinnovare. Nel complesso la stanza era pulita e funzionale, ma è necessario prestare maggiore attenzione ai dettagli, ad esempio l’anta della doccia era rotta e da sostituire. Al check-in ho trovato un signore molto gentile ma che necessiterebbe di ulteriore formazione, sono arrivata alle 20 e mi è stato detto che non poteva farmi il check-in e avrei dovuto aspettare il sostituto alle 22. Per fortuna dopo qualche minuto abbiamo fatto effettivamente il check-in. Comoda la posizione vicino alla stazione, ma nel complesso non risoggiornerei."

"Staff and location were great. Was only in town one night but everything was nice. "

"Room good and nicely warm on a cold night. Very comfortable. Breakfast excellent. Location perfect for E45 but great to hear birds singing in the morning. "

"Everyone was so nice & welcoming. The room was great & the breakfast was amazing!"

"A real destination hotel/resort. Wonderful service, exquisite service. Manager went way out of the way to help us."

"A very cozy space that was nice and quiet. There was an issue with the bed (miscommunication on my end) but it was fixed almost immediately. Quick and clear communication, easy to check in and a free coffee and croissant is always a plus. Highly recommend for a nice quiet trip."
