Best Western Plus Hotel Perla del Porto

Hotel located by the sea, clean, staff very helpful - we needed transport to Lamezia and wanted to visit my mothers village on the way so front desk found me a driver which was very helpful since my Italian is not the best. Located within walking distance of a choice of restaurants. Breakfast offered for 4 Euros was great - eggs and bacon, pastries, cold cuts and cheese, fruit, fresh squeezed juice and coffee or tea - a great deal! My only complaint would be that the onsite restaurant was not open either of the days that we were there, even though there was a sign in the elevator saying that it would be open one of the nights. We were hoping to try it - oh well, I guess we will have to go back someday to try it! We tried a restaurant nearby, Kesa’s, that was very good. less

I had the chance to arrive at the hotel on Sunday Afternoon a few hours before it became a Business Trip: they assigned me easily a Room with Sea View which was easy as on Winter Sundays there were few bookings. The single room quality is outstanding, elegant and wide enough with common 4* facilities plus a Kettle for tea an coffee. The Hotel has a free Gym with well maintained Technogym equipment: two tapis roulant and a seated cycling machine plus full body trainer which is more than enough for solo training. The hotel has also a Spa, which looks great from the site and hotel leaflets, but I had not the chance to even peek at it as there are no complimentary services, not even the hot tub or sauna, and I had few time because of an overbusy business schedule. less

A delightful and efficient hotel very close to the port, the most impressive hotel I have visited of this particular chain, efficient friendly , superb room and good breakfast. The gym is a little small and unequipped, but that is a small detail. less

The hotel is located on the one hand of the Catanzaro 2-km sea-promenade, in front of the harbor. We booked a junior suite, from which you can enjoy the view of the sea and the Squillace gulf . The room can be booked on-line but I did it on the phone and the process was very smooth. The hotel meets all international standards and all the staff is very polite and helpful. On the arrival, check-in was quick and the front-desk personnel always available for any trouble/questions. Both clerks (Giuseppe and Fabio, if I remember correctly) speak fluent English, so non-Italian guests should not worry about this point. They were also very helpful after check-out. After getting home, I realized that I forgot in the room my phone battery charger. I found it at the front desk the day after. Breakfast is also very nice, with a choice of salty/sweet food. Salty food: they have scrambled eggs and wieners, but I would recommend the Calabrese selection of cheeses and sausages ('nduja included). Great selection of cakes, croissants, yoghurt, jam,nutella and juices. Good bread too. A big thank you to the ladies in charge of the breakfast room who retrieved my wife's glasses too. I will recommend this hotel to anybody and I will visit it again in the future. less

Staff were friendly and trying to help but apart from this we had very bad experience. We were given the wrong room, no balcony despite requesting this in advance. Very poor communication during booking and check in. Nothing was explained. We booked for couple but the room was equipped for single occupancy! The breakfast and the food is average at best. Even the check out was problematic! It took 1 week afterwards to sort out invoices and payments etc. Not recommended. less
