We recently stayed for one night in Montecatini, and it was a delightful experience. Though we arrived late in the evening, the area felt lively with a cozy bar restaurant right in front of the hotel and a small grocery store conveniently located just a block away.
The check-in process was a bit slow, as the staff had to manually record our passport details into a ledger, but they were friendly and accommodating. We used a small, charming elevator to reach our room, which was spacious and equipped with three beds—a double and a single sofa bed. While the sofa bed was a bit squeaky and didn’t offer the best support, it was manageable for one night.
The bathroom was spotless, featuring a generously sized shower with excellent water pressure, making it a refreshing way to start the day. Since checkout was at 11 am, we appreciated that the hotel kindly offered to store our backpacks, allowing us to explore the city without any hassle.
One of the highlights of our stay was the Funicular ride up to Mt. Alto Montecatini—a must-do for anyone visiting. The views were breathtaking, and it was a great way to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the area. After our morning tour, we returned just before noon and enjoyed a lovely lunch at the restaurant right across from the hotel. The prices were reasonable, and the food was delicious.
Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and despite a few minor inconveniences, I would absolutely return to this hotel on our next visit to Montecatini.
