We had a comfortable stay, only disappoint was the hotel description states laundry service and a pool but actually the laundry service is a service off-site not a laundromat that I assumed. A laundromat was not even walking distance. Also there was no pool onsite but about 15 minutes away from hotel apparently but not sure if that was walking distance or by car. Other than that everything else was good, friendly staff and felt safe and secure in the hotel. Perfect views also from the top floor overlooking Sicily and right across the hotel is The Esplanade.

When I was going to check out of Hotel Lungomare this morning, they said I hadn’t paid for my stay. I showed them my confirmation and the receipt of payment made through hotels.com, but they didn’t accept it. It wasn’t until I phoned hotels.com and had them talk to the staff at Hotel Lungomare that things were solved. I wouldn’t recommend the Hotel Lungomare at all, especially after this treatment at the front desk./Johan from Sweden

Your site had not sent through the booking according to the hotel. There was considerable confusion at check in. We could not have managed this situation without speaking Italian. The staff were very calm trying to sort this out. We had your confirmation email but as it was in English it needed a lot of explaining. We were given a grand room to compensate but it only had a double bed and as we weren’t a couple traveling this wasn’t suitable. So we were given a second room at no cost. The rooms were clean but shabby. Breakfast ok. Not a place if you aren’t an experienced traveler and don’t speak Italian. We were transiting en route for Sicily and we wanted to see the museum, so it suited us.

Very helpful staff, handy bar for drinks and snacks, well located between train and ferry stations, close to museum and fantastic view from the roof.

Wanted an overnight stay and chose this one on price. Was a basic room, toilet and shower (no hair dryer) with really friendly professional staff who were very accommodating. Hotel had small dining room with bar selling coffee and snacks and otherwise no seating anywhere that I could see. We were a family of 3 in one room (a suite) that comprised a king and single, one desk, one desk chair, TV, and wardrobe(with safe)...but otherwise no seating. However Reggio Calabria is a terrific place to wander and promenade and eat out, so we were out of the hotel except for sleeping. So as a place to simply sleep it was well priced and the beds were comfortable enough....and the staff very helpful.

We arrived in the evening from Rome, hot and tired. We were given our room key immediately and found a very simple room with a tiny balcony that overlooked a neighbor's dirty wall. I now wish that I had asked to change to a front view room. The next morning we had breakfast on the terrace and saw how lovely the setting and view of the Straits of Messina were. The hotel had only about 5 rooms occupied, and a room with a view would have been extraordinary. I wish it had been offered to us - we would have gladly paid the extra charge for it.
